Daily Inspiration: Meet Beverly Forrest

Today we’d like to introduce you to Beverly Forrest.

Alright, so thank you so much for sharing your story and insight with our readers. To kick things off, can you tell us a bit about how you got started?
Well, after purchasing so many candles over the years, and not being able to really smell them, I decided to make my own candles that were all natural and didn’t include any additives or chemicals. So, May 29, 2021 I just went out on a limb and bought supplies for candle making. I began making candles that were very fragrant, toxin-free, paraben-free, phthalate-free, and has a clean burn without smoking and sooting. For people that don’t like to burn candles, and prefer a wickless route I added wickless candles and wax melts that you can use on a warming plate or wax melter. We also offer sprays that you can spray in your home, office, car, or wherever you need it.

We all face challenges, but looking back would you describe it as a relatively smooth road?
The only challenge is having so many fragrances to choose from, and trying to narrow my scent list down to what people really like. But, it has actually been smooth with the help of my husband and my son.

Alright, so let’s switch gears a bit and talk business. What should we know about your work?
I make my lotion candles with soy wax, three butters and two oils. I make all other candles with Coconut Apricot Wax or Coconut Soy Wax. No extra additives are added just wax and fragrance. This year we will be adding more aromatherapy candles with a surprise, as well as other aromatherapy items. To purchase items you can always order online, or catch me at craft and vendor fairs on the weekends.
