This next small business in our Pay It Forward series was more than a pleasure to work with. To be honest, I've had it done for a while, but with a marriage/honeymoon in the works, I wanted to wait until her store was open again to show off the great products she offers. Dedicated and hard-working are two words that come to my mind first when I think of the owner. In the past few weeks, she's added even more products and even some to help out charities! The first part of her business name, Southern Belle, perfectly describes who you'll find behind this one-of-a-kind candle and wax company.
Who Owns Southern Belle Gems & Smells?
A while back, while in one
of my favorite candle/wax groups on Facebook, I met Sarah and was instantly
impressed with how dedicated she was to making her company perfect. From the
scents she offers, to the jewelry inside, it’s easy to see why so many people
have fallen in love with her company from the second it opened. I was able to see
first-hand, just how much hard work was put into everything she made, even down
to the smallest details like the colors of the packaging. Not only have I
gotten to know Sarah professionally, but personally as well. She’s been a great
friend and support,an amazing owner and the face of female empowerment. I’m lucky to have met her and been a part
of her rigorous wax testing before her company opened. I’d wish her luck, but
from what I’ve seen in the past few months, it looks as if, there’s
no luck needed. She’s very talented and that talent shines through in all of
her wax and candle products.
What Does Southern Belle Gems & Smells Offer?
Sure, Southern Belle Gems & Smells offers amazing candle and wax products that you'll love, but even more impressive, is the experience you'll have when you order. Sarah takes honesty, integrity, fair play and great customer service very seriously. How do I know? Before her company even opened, Sarah talked about some of the poor experiences she had had with jewelry candle and wax companies and never, ever wanted her customers to have that same experience. When she says her "commitment to excellence and superb quality will make Southern Belle Gems & Smells stand apart from other vendors," she's not kidding. The joy, happiness, and excitement expressed by her fans over her products are a true testament to the hard work Sarah puts in every single day.
