About A Little Life Workshop

The Brand Story of A Little Life

Hi there! I am the founder of “A Little Life”. Here I would like to share with you my story.

Over the past 20 years, I have been working as a product developer in the beauty industry, aiming to innovate and introduce state-of-the-art products. Before the COVID-19 pandemic, I had been a frequent traveller for both work and leisure, like so many Hongkongers. 

I have been on the move due to the nature of my job, rushing deadlines, hopping on and off planes and trains, spending hours on overlays, working till midnight in hotel rooms and constantly adapting to different weather climates, time zones and foods.

Such a hectic lifestyle not only makes me feel exhausted but also lonely at times. I used to suffer from sleep disorders, waking up in the middle of the night not knowing where I was and where I would be heading to. 

Despite the frenetic work schedule, I enjoyed meeting interesting people from all backgrounds and developing my personal growth during my journeys.

Back in 2017, I went on a 2-week cruise trip with my besties, visiting various cities including Amsterdam, Stockholm, Helsinki, St. Petersburg’s, Tallinn, Vilnius and so on. Prior to leaving, an idea popped into my head on how I could bring something that would make me feel like I was at home during the trip. 

With my professional knowledge of formulation, INCI, safety and product performance, I ordered key ingredients online and handmade my first-ever travelling candle for my besties. That was the first time I handcrafted soy wax candle with 100% lavender essential oil. All my besties loved it which motivates me to make more and more. I started researching different kinds of wax and fragrance oil, and I have customised candles for my close friends as gifts on special occasions since then. 

This year, while I was working from home, I started my project “A Little Life” as a way to share my beliefs and passion to everyone.

Soy Candle – A Little Light

I do believe candles have a life of their own and I hope my candle as a little light will bring people the new six “senses” into their homes or travels.

Sense of Sight: The flickering candlelight with a contemporary design

Sense of Touch: The imported 100% natural soy wax 

Sense of Smell: The sensational aroma of natural essential oils blends developed with a leading company in the UK to serve both physical, mental & emotional needs

Sense of being in Love: Having the scents of “A Little Thing” during your “ Me Time”

Sense of the Nature: Every single detail, including the aroma, wax, wood lid, paper and even the packaging by “A Little Life”, is made with love and care and natural ingredients

Hand Sanitizer – A Little Care

100% Natural Sanitizer formulated in 75% alcohol level which is made by 100% Natural Plant Alcohol with Natural Essential Oil will give you more than a little care. The aroma of natural essential oils blends will give you a nice scent & relaxing moment every time you have a post COVID routine.

Workshop – A Little MeTime

During the pandemic, I found “A Little MeTime” for mental health is so important. Therefore, I accredited a few certificates & “A Little MeTime” workshop series are coming soon! Stay Tuned!
