Alright – so today we’ve got the honor of introducing you to JaiNishia Njie Savage . We think you’ll enjoy our conversation, we’ve shared it below.
JaiNishia , appreciate you joining us today. What’s the backstory behind how you came up with the idea for your business?
I started Love and Happiness Sanctuary when I first moved to LA in 2017. I attended a candle making class in Santa Monica and was intrigued. I started to researching organic materials, natural wax solutions and market trends.
Awesome – so before we get into the rest of our questions, can you briefly introduce yourself to our readers.
Focused on removing toxic ingredients from my home and self care routine is what drove this passion into a tangible reality. In 2018, I was diagnosed with Polycystic Ovary Syndrome, also known as PCOS. Self care practices really helped my manage my symptoms and stabilize my weight, emotions and reproductive system. Additionally, Our company is Leaping Bunny Certified, Sustainable and Clean.
After spending more time outside being influenced my nature, I started creating scent stories for our product offerings. Each scent that we create has a positive impact on your health. For Example, Our First Candle named Black Lavender has a mix of organic lavender buds, lavender essential oil and amber.
We’d love to hear a story of resilience from your journey.
The first year of business was a eye opening experience. I learned a lot more about the back end, processed and my clientele.
On lookers on social media tried to suggest other business ideas like accessories, clothing and stationery to sell. But, I have always stayed true to my mission to develop clean candles for self care that do not have toxic ingredients that affect our immune systems.
My advice to new business owners or seasoned owners it to always stay authentic to your Why.
Can you share one of your favorite marketing or sales stories?
I network within my circle of friends and valuable resources, classes and webinars.
I adapted Pinterest early on in my career and allow my content to reach my clients very organically. I have been created content and marketing with out paying and have been able to average 10,000-100,000.00 monthly viewers with no paid ads.
I created this company from unemployment income in 2017 when I first moved to La. Since, we have scored over $4k in grants and loans.
