Hi I’m Marium,
I am a mother of four, and a proud Pakistani.
I'm a business owner juggling life between beach breeze and bedtime snacks.
Now, I am also a candle maker chasing an old love I never thought I’d find again.
There’s something about a flickering flame, the way vanilla smells at dusk, or the way rose and lavender instantly transport you to a place you didn’t realize you missed — that’s where Memories by Najma was born. Not in a boardroom. But in between diapers, DMs, and dinner.
Now, at 38 (almost 40, and proud), I’ve finally said yes to the part of me that still loves beauty, still believes in peace, and still wants to create something that feels like home.
Every candle in this collection is hand-picked with soul, earthy, cozy, and nostalgic. From Cashmere Vanilla to Freesia Pear, these scents are designed to wrap you in warmth and give you space to breathe.
If you’ve ever gotten so wrapped up in taking care of everyone else that you forgot what makes you feel alive — you’re not alone. That was me too.
Over the years, I’ve built four businesses I’m incredibly proud of:
Shore Wave – our Atlantic City beach store is filled with seaside treasures and souvenirs
Seaview – another beloved Atlantic City shop offering everything from beachwear to gifts
Najma Designs & Co. – my online boutique offering designer South Asian clothing with soul
And now, Memories by Najma – a candle line born from love, nostalgia, and a longing to reconnect with the things that make life feel beautiful
Rooted in nature, made with love. Our candles are slow-made, planet-kind, and designed to bring calm to your space.
This is more than a business, it’s my love letter to slow moments, soft homes, and strong women.
I hope these candles bring you light in the way creating them brought me back to mine.
Marium,
Founder
