A little surprise about our candle business

It has been much longer than a couple of weeks since the last time I bothered to write something for the blog. Truth is, I have been caught up with so many things in life.

First of all, our business, we finally registered everything and I am proud to say that soon you will be able to buy our candles online. I am crossing my fingers that they will be online by the end of the month. That makes me so happy! Honestly, I never imagine a day where I would be able to manufacture and sell a product made at home by me. It is something I could only dream of.

My husband has helped me start this business and now we are closer than ever to having this dream come true. Point of this post, is that in the past couple of weeks we have been working very hard on getting all the paperwork together and building up enough inventory. We need enough inventory of candles for when we start selling them online.

I'll go a little over on how we will be selling our candles. They will be on a website online, not our own website yet (We have to wait a little longer for that). You'll be able to choose your scent and the size you want your candle to be and then click add to cart!

I don't want to disclose any more information about this because I want it to be a partial surprise for everyone. However, if you do have any questions feel free to ask them down on the comments below. I'll will answer all of your questions!

If you want to stay tuned on what is going on with the candle business you can now follow us on Facebook:  Magic Tree Scents

Thanks to everyone that has been supportive and followed us this far in our journey,

My journey trying to jump start my business

Some of you guys may or may not know about how I make candles. I started this about a year ago, shortly after I moved in with my husband when we were just dating. One day, I just realized that I wanted to make candles, it started as a silly idea but it grew slowly. I commented this to my husband and he insisted that I start selling them. I told him about my logo idea and together we came up with a name. Crazy how things are born in an instant.

Slowly, we started buying the supplies that I needed to start making the candles on my own. I found a great website and bought myself enough supplies to make about 16 candles. I made them and then slowly sold them. With the money we made from that, we decided to buy even more supplies to get more candles going and spread the word and that is how the business got started.

At the beginning of this year I had so many things going on. I was about to get married. My mom was fighting for the well being of my little sister, I was worried about my former dog, and so on. Point is I had so many worries that I completely brushed aside my candles. I stopped selling them and I stopped researching on how to get the legal things straight. I was disappointed on myself. It really sucked and a couple of weeks ago, when I decided I wanted to get back on track I found out that I would have to start from scratch. Start making more investments, start buying more supplies and continue to sell, technically from door to door with my family.

Honestly, I do see myself owning this business. It is not the fact that it is just a business in general but the fact that I love making candles, and I see myself growing old with this obsession. I know it is kind of weird and you probably want to click away from this page as you read this but if you got this far continue on. I know everyone has a passion, something they see themselves doing for the rest of their lives because I know for a fact that I want to work and do something that I love and that I enjoy. For me that is the art of candle making.

One day you will see me working from home and selling hundreds of candles a day.....

Watch me go,
Andy
