Hey besties, strangers, and future fragrance lovers....My name is TyNicole, and I’m the owner, creator, and professional overthinker behind Kanvas Loft. Welcome to my little corner of the internet where candles burn bright, room sprays hit different, and I awkwardly overshare… just a little

A little about me:
I’m of Caribbean descent Barbados and Guyana, so yes, flavor, culture, and good vibes are in my DNA. I grew up mostly in Queens, NY, which means I’m equal parts “mind my business” and “let me tell you everything at once.” If you know, you know.
Now… how did a shy, socially awkward girl end up running a home fragrance brand?
Honestly?
Therapy
A lot of trial and error
And my obsession with making my space smell like a luxury hotel lobby.
Kanvas Loft started because I fell in love with the process of fragrance blending scents, testing notes, and creating vibes. There’s something magical about pouring wax, mixing oils, and watching a product come to life. It’s basically arts and crafts for grown people with bills.
What do I sell?
Hand-poured candles
Room & linen sprays
Wax melts
Reed diffusers
Freshies
Home fragrances that make guests say:
“Wait… WHAT is that smell?! ”
In a good way though.
Everything I create is designed to:
Elevate your space
Match your mood
Feel luxurious without breaking your bank
But let me be real with you for a second…
I LOVE making home fragrances.
I HATE being perceived.
I’m awkward.
I overthink.
I rehearse conversations in my head that never happen.
And if you see me in public, there’s a 75% chance I’m pretending to check my phone to avoid eye contact.
So this blog?
This is my safe space.
Here’s what you can expect:
Behind-the-scenes of my business
Fragrance tips
Small business struggles (because whew )
Funny introvert moments
Product drops & sneak peeks
Real talk about entrepreneurship
Basically, you’re getting:
• Scents
• Stories
• And a shy girl trying her best
Thank you for being here, seriously.
Whether you’re here to shop, laugh, or just vibe — I appreciate you.
Now excuse me while I go:
• Light a candle
• Overthink
• And avoid everyone.
Welcome to Kanvas Loft
