On rainy days when going outside wasn’t an option, I started making candles just to pass the time—melting wax, experimenting with scents, and pouring them into anything that would hold a wick. What began as a cozy hobby quickly became something more: friends asked for them, then friends-of-friends, and suddenly we were taking orders, designing labels, and turning stormy-day creativity into a real business. What started as a way to brighten gloomy weather ended up lighting the path to a new entrepreneurial passion.
