If you had told 12-year-old me that I’d be running a luxury aromatherapy brand while juggling school and exams, I would have laughed. At the time, I was just a girl who loved scents—obsessed with the idea that a simple candle could completely change the mood of a room. I didn’t know anything about running a business, but I knew I wanted to create something beautiful, something that made people feel good.
The First Candle I Ever Made—A Total Disaster 😅
The first candle I ever made was a jasmine candle. I imagined it would be this elegant, soothing creation, filling my room with the most delicate floral scent. The reality? Pure chaos.
I overfilled the jar, completely misjudging how much wax I needed, and ended up spilling wax everywhere—on my table, my chair, and worst of all, my carpet. Even now, when I look at the floor, I can still see the wax stain. I remember staring at the mess, thinking, I am never making a candle ever again.
But look at me now!!
The Self-Care Lesson I Didn’t Expect 🕯️
Running a business at 12 meant I had to grow up fast. I learned about customer service, pricing, and marketing before I even had my first business lesson in school! But the biggest lesson wasn’t about business at all—it was about self-care.
At first, I threw myself into work, thinking that “hustle” was the only way to succeed. I would lie in bed at night, worrying about orders and making to-do lists in my head instead of sleeping 😵💫 And then, one evening, I did something different. Instead of working through the night, I lit one of my own candles, made a cup of tea, and just sat in the moment. That’s when it hit me—self-care isn’t about grand gestures or expensive spa days; it’s about these tiny rituals, the small moments we take for ourselves in between the chaos.
Why This Matters for You 💕
I know you’re busy. You have a million things to do, and self-care often falls to the bottom of the list. But if there’s one thing I’ve learned, it’s that taking care of yourself doesn’t have to be complicated.
✨ Lighting a candle at the end of the day? That’s self-care.
✨ Taking a deep breath before opening another email? That’s self-care.
✨ Choosing a scent that makes you feel happy, warm, or nostalgic? That’s self-care.
VESNA Aromatherapy was built on this belief—that even the busiest women deserve moments of peace. And I want to help you create those moments, even if it’s just one candle at a time. 🕯️
