Sam
LEMONWORKS SOAP
Hi! I’m Sam! I’m 8 years old and I like to read, draw, and I like making people happy. Lemonworks Soaps is my business! I’ve always wanted to start my own business. This year I asked my mom if I could start a soap business and she said yes! We spent months researching soaps and cleaners and now we love making them for you. I have sensitive skin so I wanted to make sure we used natural ingredients. Also, EVERYTHING we make needed to smell AMAZING. I hope you like our products!

Shabi
MARKET CANDLE CO.
I started my candle making journey back in 2017 on my kitchen counter making candle favours for my bridal shower. Looking back on things now, I realize I was living dangerously because I was just kinda winging’ it. I could’ve definitely been gifting my pals fire hazards and not known any different. Alas. Live and learn. My friends and fam were messaging me for months after raving about my candles. And I didn’t think much of it, until a couple years down the road, when I got felt like I needed a little inspiration while feeling absolutely miserable at my mundane desk job. Now retailing candles, room sprays, scented oils & reed diffusers.
