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

Hi Wonderful, can you walk us through the thought-process of starting your business?
We all thought we were fortunate to have a good life and receive many opportunities. We wanted to give back to our community and help others how we have been benefited our whole life. We thought, what better way to give back to our society than making homemade candles with love?

Can you open up a bit about your work and career? We’re big fans and we’d love for our community to learn more about your work.
We are a small business made up of 12-year-olds trying to make the world better. Wonderful Wax is different from all other candle companies because we have an incredible work ethic and provide the best candles we can. At our business’s start, we needed to learn how to run a company, especially a candle company. It was very hard at first due to the fact that we still learn how to balance school and other activities in our lives. Luckily we had lots of supporters that helped us achieve our goals. We quickly got the hang of learning to balance work and school. Wonderful Wax has taught us many things. For example, never give up on something you believe in.

Any places to eat or things to do that you can share with our readers? If they have a friend visiting town, what are some spots they could take them to?
If our best friends visited Miami, we would take them to the local areas. Such as the Venetian Pool or the beach. We will go shopping at Aventura Mall and go to the best restaurant we can think of. We will later watch the sunset at Hurricane Cove and have their famous ceviche with a sip of lemonade. The next day we will drive up to Orlando and visit Universal.

Shoutout is all about shouting out others who you feel deserve additional recognition and exposure. Who would you like to shoutout?
We would love to give a big thank you to the charities we have donated to, Paws4You and Feeding America, and so many more yet to come. The biggest thank you we will give is to our parents. They have supported us all along the journey, helping invest in the company, motivating us to keep on thriving to do the work to our fullest, and doing everything in their power to help the business expand!
