A woman has shared her story of how she used her last £300 to start a business making candles in the shape of bottoms. Now, two years later she has earned £422,000 by selling them to celebrities and high-end stores.
Gaby Jones, 26, had lost her job in the hospitality industry during the pandemic and was thinking long and hard about what direction her career would take next. And there was a eureka moment while in Wagamama with her boyfriend, My London reports.
The Chiswick woman said: "I had £300 in my account and said to him, 'I want to make candles'. But not basic candles, I wanted to make a statement. He said he will give me £300 and help me figure out what needs to be done."
