Hi everyone!
I wanted to introduce myself again as it has been a while and go into a deeper explanation why I started this business that wasn't on the "About Me" section on the website. So let's begin!
My name is Summer O'Neill. I have moved from beach town to beach town from CA to Australia to Hawaii and after meeting my Missouri husband, I was introduced into the country lifestyle. Safe to say, I absolutely love it!
Now to the candles..I have always tried to find the cleanest products I can. Now don't get me wrong, I definitely am not perfect when it comes to it but hey I try my best to be! With candles however, I will not get anything that has toxic products in it. I was sick of getting headaches when I would burn a candle so most of the time I just left the candle out with the lid open. Then I decided one day to research into it and figured out that my candles I loved were full of horrible things. After that, pouring my own candles was the best option. My long-time girlfriend and I decided one Christmas that we were going to pour candles as our Christmas gifts to everyone. I loved it, she was definitely not fond of it. I then started pouring wax into pretty much anything that was safe for wax. My husband finally told me that I needed to start selling them as so many of our friends were loving them as gifts and wanted to gift them to their friends. Well, now we have a business!
Most of the items I get to make my candles are from other fellow family-owed small businesses and I love to support anything made in the good ole USA! I am currently still trying to get everything made in the USA, I am about 85% of the way there. No matter where the items are from, I ensure that they are non-toxic.
Thank you for reading more into why I started this business! If you ever have any questions, I am always here to answer them! Just shoot me an email at countrysurferco@gmail.com.
I hope you have a wonderful day!
