The lady behind the candles.
Believer first. Wife/Mom next. Candle maker third. Hi! I'm Marissa Manning, the founder and maker of Shine Bright Candle Co. I'm so happy you're here!
Have you ever had a scent change your mood, or remind you of a memory or place that you hold dear to your heart? I love how a candle can improve how I am feeling, just by burning a scent that makes me feel good!
Likewise, I am inspired to bring those feelings to you! I have created my own fragrance blends to make each of these scents completely unique. While I mainly focus on citrus/fruit forward blends, I will also be bringing in different seasonal blends and a few fresh blends. Our candles are focused on cheerful and nostalgic scents.
After my husband and I brought our little girl into the world, I struggled going back to my 9-5 job and finding time to bond with my daughter. I ended up giving up most of my hobbies and stopped doing things for myself to be with her in my free time. Fortunately, my husband and I were able to make things work so I could stay home and care for her full time.
I've always been a candle lover and had considered making them in the past, and I finally got that push I needed to pursue creating them. Running this small business allows me to channel my creativity, connect with my community, help others, and spread some of God's love. I'm caring for my daughter full time, while also getting to enjoy this joyful adventure. It is a true blessing.
I try to be as transparent as possible. While I am dedicated to bringing you an amazing product with great service, caring for my daughter is my top priority. This means that it may take me a couple of days to respond to messages/inquiries, but I will always do my due diligence to get back to you in a timely manner. There will be many changes as this business grows, so thank you for joining me on this journey!
Why Shine Bright Candle Co.?
Matthew 5:15-16 "Neither do people light a lamp and put it under a bowl. Instead they put it on its stand, and it gives light to everyone in the house. In the same way, let your light shine before men, that they may see your good deeds and praise your Father in Heaven."
With Christ at the center of my life, I wanted to make sure that I built my company inspired by Him and His great works. Shine Bright Candle Co. is not just about letting the light shine through our candles, but also inspiring us to let our own lights shine!
