These new experiences inspired Giselle and Liz to start up their side hustle selling luxury candles. The sisters originally operated out of their kitchen at home but the business soon took over their house. Giselle told LatestDeals.co.uk : "In the beginning we spent £150 on materials to try out. "The second month we spent £200. We had good traction from there with revenue to reinvest in materials and it was upwards growth from that point. "We posted on Etsy to see if people would like the candles and within 3 days we had about 10 orders. "It then snowballed so that one day we had 54 orders in a day." But the duo's business grew so much that they both quit their full-time careers to focus on it. Giselle said: "My sister was an accountant and I was a teacher. We had no time to develop our skills and business. "We saw the business was growing fast and it was generating enough revenue for us to focus on it full time, so we both quit our jobs." It wasn't before long that the twins made the decision to rent a workspace and hire people to help them out with orders. And with the brand booming, the sisters currently sell 500 candles a week and make a whopping £120k a year. Giselle and Liz also have a wholesale website on Faire that they say is growing fast.
