  What has always driven me is the desire to make a difference to people's lives… what was less clear for many years is just how I was going to do it. My journey to Queen B took me via law, banking and marketing strategy… none of which made me a good candle maker, but all of which created the need for a creative and relaxing hobby! The impetus for Queen B began several years ago when I began to have severe anxiety attacks. I discovered a few calming hobbies in the ensuing years! Two things that I grew to love were rolling, and burning, beeswax candles, and painting canvases. Queen B is the merger of these two passions. Like many businesses born from a passion, Queen B grew organically. Before I started selling candles, I mainly gave them away to friends. Soon I began getting calls from friends of friends, and friends of friends of friends who had seen my candles at someone's house. And so my hobby, my passion, became a business. Over the past few years, I have had the opportunity to meet incredible people and be a part of many special occasions simply through doing what I love. And it just keeps getting better. I continue to roll candles and paint in order to relax, but now I also get to employ wonderful like-minded people, who also experience the delight of creating something that we know is going to be loved and appreciated. Am I making a difference to people's lives? Yes, on some level I think I am. Burning any candle soothes your soul. Burning a Queen B beeswax candle complements your home, creates ambience, purifies your air, protects our environment, keeps beekeepers employed and allows you to truly relax… in addition to soothing your soul. I aim to rid the planet of paraffin candles that pollute people's lounge rooms and the environment (I am anticipating some backlash from the petroleum refining companies whose wares adorn many a home). Just think how much enjoyment you will get helping to support the cause. Cate Burton |
