After months of debating and countless sleepless nights, I finally did it, I signed the lease for my very own storefront. Ever since I started making handmade candles in my garage two years ago, I dreamed about this moment!

It’s been hard running my little business online and at local markets, but the thought of having a physical space is so great, I’m super excited to create a cozy spot where people can actually smell and choose their favorite scents, but part of me is freaking out about the financial commitment, the rent, utilities, etc.

Anyone else been through this? Would love to hear your stories or any tips you might have. TIA
