We’re thrilled to kick off our first feature at The Bougie Collective with Britney and her incredible Thirty Four Charms candles. Britney was one of our very first vendors at Bougie Beach Co. and has remained one of our top sellers since day one. Here’s a little secret: I’ve never been much of a candle person. With my allergies, I could never find one that didn’t trigger sneezing or asthma attacks—until I discovered Britney's candles. They’re truly incredible!
We sat down with Britney this week to dive into her "why" this week. Let's discover a little more about why we love this brand so much!
Tell us a little bit about your company. What products do you offer? We specialize in small batch soy wax candles. Made from 100% natural ingredients without the use of additives and colorants. We offer private label for small/local businesses wanting to add a unique product line for their customers. Candle making classes are held 2 to 3 times a year. Custom or special occasion party favors/gifts are also available.
Why did you start your business? My candle making craft started as a hobby in 2015 as a way for me to handle my depression. In 2015, my husband and I experienced a loss any parent should ever experience. As a way to deal with my sadness, I turned to candles. There was something joyful about falling in love with a scent that I felt lifted my spirits. Which I later learned I was healing through aroma therapy.
What sets you apart from other brands similar to yours? Since turning my hobby into a business, that is my goal with all my scented creations; to create fragrances that lift, inspire and empower anyone enjoying the blends I've created. My fragrance blends are my own and cannot be duplicated. I am true to my branding, both on paper and in person. I'm proud to say we've established TFC as a local business who supports local businesses and it's neighbors. Community cannot be built without unity. I hope the passion I've applied into my work is reflected in the quality and fragrance combinations I have created.
Where do you see the future of your business? This time next year, I hope to have double my retailer count. We're also working on getting into a couple of our favorite "big box" stores this year as well. Fingers crossed!
