A little about us...
The idea of making candles came to me after a turbulent year, when I had quit my job and had bills to pay. I didn't want to go back to being someone else's employee, I wanted to be a boss.
I started thinking about what I could do and it was when I spent some time on Instagram that I started seeing several videos of handmade candles. Seeing these videos of other people making candles and selling them, this desire grew in me too.
Since I was unemployed, I used the little money I had left to buy the ingredients and some molds, I used old pots and spoons too. The first candles came out horrible, but they had to be sold.
I put some models in my brother's store to sell and invested all the profits in candles, but it was a very time-consuming process and that's when I had to do something I didn't want to do. I went back to being an employee.
I got a job again because I had to pay the bills that kept coming in, but this time with a different purpose. I was going to continue investing in my little shop. So when I had money left over, it went towards buying better things to make my candles.
Once again, I lost my job. However, now that my store is better equipped, I will continue to do well. With your help, of course!
And that was just the summary of what I went through in 2 years until I got here.
