WHO
Hi. I’m Isabella and I’m 13 years old. To many it may seem unusual that a young girl has a thriving candle business, but it has been over a year in the making. I love creating candles and I have been learning a lot about how to manage a business.
I am passionate about everything I do and starting my candle business is no exception. In addition to candle making, I am very involved in my Church, Hip Hop Dancing, Baking and various School Activities.
I am now in the 8th Grade and excited to be back in school in person!
I am grateful for the opportunity that being home for that period of time has brought me. Starting my business was a dream-come-true and the reaction from my customers was truly amazing!
I look forward to continue to grow my business!
how
Every SimplyWix candle is under my direct care.
Unlike commercial operations, I make batches of only 27 candles at a time.
I warm 100% natural Soy Wax to the exact temperature, then stir in the perfect combination of natural fragrances and coloring.
After allowing the wax settle to the right pouring temperature, I gently add to steel tins with 100% organic cotton wicks. After two weeks of curing, they are ready for your enjoyment.
I’m often asked, “What does your house smell like?” My answer: Amazing! Thanks to SimplyWix.
I also happily do Custom Candles, Scents and Branding for your business or for special gifts. Please contact me for details.
why
When the Global Covid Pandemic struck, I was in the 6th grade I couldn’t attend school in person.
Classes were shortened and I had a lot of free time – in my house. Instead of wasting my time, I decided to start a candle business.
My first candles were just “OK” and I was losing money on each sold. After a lot of research, I learned how to leverage my spending to lower costs, how to improve the candles themselves (fragrance, scent throw, even burning, frosting, etc.) and carefully choosing what stores I should partner with. The response has been Incredible!
I make all the candles from scratch in my home - and they are 100% natural.
I had enlisted the help of my best friend and we quickly found ourselves on FOX32 Chicago News, in Glancer Magazine and more. Our original company, Bliss Homemade, took off quickly and, with it, a lot more work for us. My friend took an early retirement and, to create a fresh start, I’ve rebranded as SimplyWix.
