Hi we're Bill and Kellene VanDorn. We live here in Topeka Kansas with our last two children that are home, 4 Australian Shepherds, 2 Corgis, 3 cats, 3 horses, 2 miniature donkeys, 2 cockatiels, and 2 Umbrella Cockatoos,(Scooter & Parsley) that are partially responsible for us sharing this with you now. We are currently looking for a partridge to put in our pear tree. We started in this company a little over three and a half years ago when a long time friend sent an email telling me about these INCREDIBLE CANDLES. She went on about how they were so strongly scented, that the scent lasts all the way through the candle, that they burn cleaner and evenly, and clean up with soap and water. She then had typed the sentence that really caught my attention, "they have cotton wicks with no lead or zinc, and they will be safe for your birds and your new grandson." Okay, that had my attention. I love candles but had quit burning them in the house because traditional candles are so toxic to birds. (I had lost an Umbrella Cockatoo that I had raised from a baby to this kind of toxic poisoning, so this was a critical point for me.) I told her to send one for me to try and didn't think much more about it until it arrived. WOW! I could smell it before I opened the box! I was so excited when I lit it and it started filling the rooms, I couldn't wait for Bill to get home to smell it. When he did get home he walked in the house and said, "what smells so good?" then was amazed that he could smell it all the way out in his office when he went there to put his things away. Now here is the thing that amazed him, (the major skeptic that he his), his office is in the sunroom at the opposite end of the house from the room where I had the candle burning. This ONE candle literally scented the entire lower level of our home! He was amazed and impressed, and I was already there when I opened the box, so we were hooked. Originally I had just signed up for the candle of the month program with the reasoning, that it's only $39.95, if you sell enough to your family and friends that love candles to pay for your own and you are having fun, go for it! Why not? So I signed up for the candle of the month and we burned them in our house and when family and friends came over they were so blown away by the delicious fragrances, and huge coverage they just had to have some too, then they would burn them at home or work and friends and co-workers would come by and smell theirs, would fall in love and want some too, then they would take them home or to work and burn them, people would come by, ect ect. and just that fast, our business exploded by word of mouth within 2 months, to the point that we decided we needed to rethink our goals with this business, and haven't looked back! Now we help others set up their own businesses and have a dynamic and successful ever growing team of Business Associates that are interested in building a long term residual income and or lucrative retirement as we are! I am not only making a huge retail profit from selling these candles, but because we have shared this business opportunity with others that looked at this business and said "WOW! I LOVE candles! I want to be a part of this"! We now have introduced people to this business throughout the other states as well, and we are receiving a very successful bonus every month in addition to our retail sales! We are part of an award winning team and I was able to quit my day job 2 1/2 years ago. I wanted a business that would be a retirement for my husband and myself, and an income that would be ongoing and willable to our youngest daughter Savanah who has Cerebral Palsey. This business is doing both of those things. The business I am building today will be her future security, and our retirement to enjoy, but it is also our financial freedom NOW! This business is so easy, and so much fun, it doesn't feel like I am working! It is truly a non-risk business with a product that smells so good, "YOU WILL BE TEMPTED TO GET A SPOON INSTEAD OF A MATCH". We love sharing the product and the opportunity with people, and we make a commitment with each and every person that we introduce to this business to be there to help them in any way that we can. YOUR success is OUR success. So if you LOVE candles, or know people that do, check out the website and give us a call or email, we will enjoy meeting you and answering any questions that you might have. Just ask yourself, "WHO DO YOU KNOW THAT WOULD LOVE THESE CANDLES?!" Contact us and we will help you find out!
