00:00Tell me about your candle making business.
00:03Well, it started from Christmas really.
00:07My grandma got me a candle making set
00:10and from then I'd really enjoyed making them.
00:13But I've always been into smelly things and fragrances
00:16and I used to collect little air fresheners for the car
00:20and then hang them on my door.
00:24So, do you know how many candles and wax melts you've made then so far?
00:30I wouldn't be able to tell you, sorry.
00:34Would you say it's maybe 100?
00:36Probably, yeah, because I've got a big box of them
00:39and then the orders that I've sent out.
00:41Now, I believe you've had 30 orders.
00:44They've gone all over the world.
00:46Yeah, America, Canada...
00:49Dominican Republic?
00:52That's it, yeah. I couldn't think.
00:55So, they're all over the world, your products.
00:57Yeah.
00:57And is this something that you'd like to do as a business, do you think,
01:01when you leave school?
01:03I'd imagine a little shop on the main street or something.
01:09I think my little brother would enjoy working for me
01:12because he's asked me a few times.
01:15So, I'd probably let him.
01:16And you could spot him around.
01:17Yeah.
01:17Yeah.
01:24Okay.
