Why did you decide to start a business?
I was sitting at work one day and I heard God say “candles”. I jotted it down on a sticky note and continued to work. So after about a month I started researching candles and decided to move forward with the vision God had given me and start my own candle company.
What is your favorite client story?
I had a male customer tell me that when he comes home and his wife is burning my candles it creates a mood and experience for them; that really means a lot to me because I value marriage and to know that my candles are playing a part in happy marriages brings me great joy!

Michiel is a Black Southern Belle living a lowcountry life. I love all things fashion, home decor and southern! When I am not running around doing fun stuff for Black Southern Belle, I live in antique stores and have a minor obsession with historic homes :)
