My Journey as a Small Business Owner, Nursing Student, and Advocate for Healthy Living

Welcome to my very first blog post! My name is Alayiah Sullins, and I’m excited to share a little bit about my journey as a small business owner, a medical assistant, and a nursing student. Through my work, I’ve come to appreciate the vital connection between health and wellness and how it touches every aspect of our lives—especially when it comes to the products we use every day.

My journey as a small business owner started two years ago, inspired by my personal love for candles. I wanted something special, a candle that resonated with me, so I began making them for myself. Over time, the process of crafting candles became something I truly loved. I spent countless hours researching, testing, and learning about the best quality ingredients to ensure that what I was creating was both unique and intentional. As I shared my creations with loved ones, I realized the joy and connection these candles brought, and that’s when I knew I wanted to share them with more people. It became more than just a hobby—it became a craft I wanted to perfect. This journey led me to start my own business, where I could create products that inspire self-care and elevate everyday moments.

Bringing Health and Wellness into Every Product

As a Muslim woman, it’s incredibly important to me that everything I create aligns with halal practices. This means that from sourcing ingredients to crafting each product, I ensure that every step is pure, ethical, and in harmony with my values. For me, running a business isn’t just about making products—it’s about nurturing the mind, body, and soul with natural, organic ingredients that promote overall well-being.

My medical background as a nursing student has driven me to craft products that are not only luxurious but also beneficial for the body. Each candle, soap, and essential oil blend I make is carefully designed to support your wellness journey. Whether it’s the calming aroma of lavender to soothe stress or the invigorating scent of citrus to uplift your mood, every product is made with intention.

A Vision of Community and Empowerment

At the heart of everything I create is the goal to inspire a lifestyle that prioritizes self-care and holistic wellness. We live in a world where stress can overwhelm us, and it’s more important than ever to take small moments for ourselves. Whether through a quiet evening by candlelight or a refreshing, natural skincare routine, I believe in empowering women to feel their best, inside and out.

My journey doesn’t stop with products. I’m passionate about reaching a diverse community of women who, like me, are looking to live healthier, more balanced lives. Through my blog and business, I hope to create a space where women feel supported, inspired, and connected. Together, we can uplift one another, embracing our strength, our values, and our commitment to living well.

As I continue my path toward becoming a nurse, I’m constantly learning more about how to integrate health and wellness into every aspect of life. This knowledge fuels my passion for creating products that are not only good for the body but also align with ethical practices that I hold dear. I’m excited to continue sharing this journey with you and building a community that celebrates wellness, faith, and empowerment.

Thank you for being part of this journey with me. Let’s continue to inspire each other toward healthy, fulfilling lives!
