Hello there, Sniffers!!! We hope that everyone is safe and well. I awoke this morning with a very grateful mind and heart, so I thought I'd share with you a story that would kindle a spark of inspiration and this is all about how Bienvie's started.
Bienvie's Moods and Scents was created for our Grandma, Bienvenida, because we want her to live a good life. She was diagnosed with stage 4 cataract on both eyes last August, and she needed surgery as soon as possible or she would lose her precious eyesight forever.
The cost of the surgery was huge, and she had to have it done twice. Our family was in a difficult financial situation at the time, so we (Andre and I) thought of ways to help and that's when we decided to capitalize and start this small candle business. We agreed that the proceeds would be used to cover her medical expenses for as long as they were required. This is where we come from on why we are so grateful to all of the sniffers who bought candles from us. We want to express our heartfelt gratitude to all of you because our grandmother's cataracts were removed from both of her eyes just a few weeks ago. She is now on the path to recovery, and for us, this is the best Christmas present ever! We're still paying off debts, but with your continued support, I'm confident we'll be able to pay it off soon!
We decided to share this story not so that people would feel sorry for us or hence, to attract orders. We're sharing this to give credit to all our lovely sniffers who showed genuine support and believed in the quality of our products—a huge THANK YOU to everyone! We hope we were able to bring you the same joy you have brought us every time you light those candles.
We, from Bienvie's, wish you all a very Merry Christmas and a meaningful New Year. May our candles give warmth to your hearts in this Holiday season! 🥰🌞💕
Ps. We recently discovered that Bien means 'good' and Vie means 'life' in French. This is just a coincidence that tells us we're on the right track—our goal was to give our Grandma a good life, and we just affirmed it by naming our small business Bienvie's.
