We had the good fortune of connecting with Magda Lopez and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi Magda, how did you come up with the idea for your business?
I was preparing dinner in my Coral Gables home one night and my boyfriend who happens to be a CPA and business man recommended I open my own candle line. I love candles. I have a passion for rare and beautiful scents. I collect vessels as if they were art. That’s how the I AM REV candle phenomenon was born.

Can you give our readers an introduction to your business? Maybe you can share a bit about what you do and what sets you apart from others?
The @REVETE brand is still geared towards health and wellness but adding a shop of rare and one of a kind art made perfect business sense. Everyone can buy a candle but each one of the candles in my line is unique and hand curated. We need this now more than ever, simple pleasures. I have learned through the creation of this line that going back to basics and surrounding yourself with delicious aromas, positive messages and simple art is a necessity. A very welcome RESET button.

Let’s say your best friend was visiting the area and you wanted to show them the best time ever. Where would you take them? Give us a little itinerary – say it was a week long trip, where would you eat, drink, visit, hang out, etc.
I would take my friend to Soho Beach House to relax and soak in nature. I would take my bestie to Sol Yoga to practice and restore. I would then take them to the new Anatomy in Coconut Grove to rebuild. My latest favorite rejuvenation spot is the Spa at the Carillon. And finally the best food in Miami can be found at Mila. All of the above is outdoors and in a safe setting.

Who else deserves some credit and recognition?
Ron Schinik inspired this passion single handedly. I executed it but he was the brains behind this beauty. Love makes scents! Our love made sense.
