GETTING TO KNOW YOU
DEB KRIZAK (Pic by The Women's Pic)
Hi there! I'm Deb Krizak and I am the newly appointed (uh hum only appointed) director and founder of The Really Useless Candle Co. (My side hustle!)
Let me introduce myself. I won't pretend to be a company of creative fuelled chicks who hang out sipping Moet at the end of a working week in a corporate office over looking Sydney Harbour. Nup! It's just me, myself and I.. Oh, and a whole lot of candle wax and funky scents.
The Really Useless Candle Co. was created out of my simple love of candles and my need to express myself. So here I am, sharing some of my favourite 'slightly cheeky' thoughts on a candle in a world that has become far too PC for my liking. I hope you can share in my humour :)
Why the crazy business name you ask? Well, my idea to start this business was created during the dreaded Covid-19 when I lost all of my work as a performing artist and needed to find a way to fill my creative soul. Something quiet, reflective and soul nurturing. Very different to my life as an entertainer and as a Mum to twins! To be honest, it was a time where I felt pretty useless and struggled to find something that could quieten my mind amidst all of the noise. And so the name was spawned - The Really Useless Candle Co. I'm happy to say I surprised myself and even built this very website from scratch! A lot can come from adversity I guess and I hope that my customers will enjoy being a part of not only my journey, but theirs too.
Thanks for visiting,
Deb K x
PS - I still love all things musical and you'll even find the odd musical reference in a slogan or two (see if you can spot 'The Sound Of Music' reference).
My personal motto:
"Whatever the weather, we weather the weather".
We never know what's around the corner. So smile, take a deep breath and give thanks for the little things. Even candles : )
