writing about a women-owned austin candle company? we'd love to be in your story.

contact: aly p, founder · aly@failedhobbies.com

founder bio (short): aly p is the founder of failed hobbies, a women-owned candle company in austin, texas. she spent eleven years in big tech (apple, amazon) before launching failed hobbies in 2026. each candle is named for a specific moment — the kind of small, meaningful, real-life moments candle brands have been ignoring.

brand sound bite: "candles for the moments that don't show up on the shelf."

signature products: h-e-b sunday (citrus and wildflowers), handwritten letters (rose and paper), barton springs on a whim (fresh water and cedar), i'll sit with you while we wait (soft woods and still air).

high-res images and product samples: available on request.
