For many business owners, the pandemic has been a time of tested resilience and boundless creativity, and this certainly rings true for By Womankinde candle designer, Shannae Dumbrell.<\/p>\n
By Womankinde is a gorgeous collection of Shannae\u2019s beautifully handcrafted candle creations featuring chic, modern designs with creamy pastel colour palettes that look tasty enough to eat \u2013 and smell fabulous to boot!<\/p>\n
What initially started out as a hobby has now spawned into a successful and thriving artistic enterprise that continues to grow despite the hardships of COVID.<\/p>\n
\u201cBy Womankinde began as a way to keep myself busy and take my mind off everything that was happening with my beauty business at the time,\u201d says Shannae.[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=”3_5″ _builder_version=”4.9.10″ _module_preset=”default”][et_pb_image src=”https:\/\/rsvp.mbgoldcoast.com.au\/emag\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/DE4FFA4C-7399-4674-8575-02A266B3A18D.jpeg” title_text=”DE4FFA4C-7399-4674-8575-02A266B3A18D” show_in_lightbox=”on” _builder_version=”4.9.10″ _module_preset=”default” custom_padding_tablet=”25px||||false|false” custom_padding_phone=”25px||||false|false” custom_padding_last_edited=”on|tablet”][\/et_pb_image][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row column_structure=”3_5,2_5″ make_equal=”on” custom_padding_last_edited=”on|tablet” module_class=”custom_row” _builder_version=”4.9.10″ _module_preset=”default” max_width=”1920px” custom_padding_tablet=”0px||0px||false|false” custom_padding_phone=”0px||0px||false|false”][et_pb_column type=”3_5″ module_class=”second-on-mobile” _builder_version=”4.9.10″ _module_preset=”default”][et_pb_image src=”https:\/\/rsvp.mbgoldcoast.com.au\/emag\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/5006F243-6E8A-4881-BF39-6F8A14F59997.jpeg” title_text=”5006F243-6E8A-4881-BF39-6F8A14F59997″ show_in_lightbox=”on” _builder_version=”4.9.10″ _module_preset=”default” custom_padding_tablet=”25px||||false|false” custom_padding_phone=”25px||||false|false” custom_padding_last_edited=”on|tablet”][\/et_pb_image][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=”2_5″ module_class=”first-on-mobile” _builder_version=”4.9.10″ _module_preset=”default” custom_css_main_element=”margin:auto;”][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.9.10″ _module_preset=”default”]In the midst of ceaseless lockdowns, Shannae found herself struggling to keep her Bundall-based salon, Womankinde Beauty, afloat.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt was tough, but I decided to get creative \u2013 I\u2019ve always been artistic and had a passion for home decor and design,\u201d she says.<\/p>\n
\u201cCandle making seemed like the perfect outlet for all the stress I was experiencing.<\/p>\n
\u201cI started posting a few of my candle creations on Womankinde Beauty\u2019s Instagram page and a bunch of clients started purchasing them.\u201d<\/p>\n
Fast forward two years, By Womankinde has its own Instagram account, a pending website for her increasing online orders, and is continuing to thrive and grow.<\/p>\n
The business has expanded its candle range and includes special-edition Mother’s Day and Christmas packs, as well as its popular Self-Care packs containing By Womankinde\u2019s luxurious Elevate bath soak crystals, gua sha facial roller and Mood Mist spray.[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row column_structure=”2_5,3_5″ make_equal=”on” custom_padding_last_edited=”on|tablet” _builder_version=”4.9.10″ _module_preset=”default” max_width=”1920px” custom_padding_tablet=”0px||||false|false” custom_padding_phone=”0px||||false|false”][et_pb_column type=”2_5″ _builder_version=”4.9.10″ _module_preset=”default” custom_css_main_element=”margin:auto”][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.9.10″ _module_preset=”default” custom_padding_tablet=”0px||0px||false|false” custom_padding_phone=”||0px||false|false” custom_padding_last_edited=”on|tablet”]Every By Womankinde candle is individually handmade and crafted with great care and love.<\/p>\n
Shannae works closely with each of her customers, helping them choose the perfect colour, scent and design before beautifully packaging up their creations for a speedy delivery.<\/p>\n
This process ensures customers get exactly what they are looking for in their home or space of choice, and Shannae says her clients enjoy the creative input and more personalised experience.<\/p>\n
\u201cOur most coveted scent has to be Japanese Honeysuckle \u2013 it\u2019s a fresh, subtle scent that people can\u2019t get enough of,\u201d says Shannae.<\/p>\n
\u201cPopular colours of choice include our subtle sage green, white and creamy nude wax dyes \u2013 they\u2019re simple, yet incredibly sophisticated and chic.\u201d<\/p>\n
Each By Womankinde candle uses a different mould for pouring the wax, scent and colour dye to create a unique and individual bespoke piece.[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=”3_5″ _builder_version=”4.9.10″ _module_preset=”default”][et_pb_image src=”https:\/\/rsvp.mbgoldcoast.com.au\/emag\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/325A7766-ED4A-4E55-A880-93073E8CC5CC.jpeg” title_text=”325A7766-ED4A-4E55-A880-93073E8CC5CC” show_in_lightbox=”on” _builder_version=”4.9.10″ _module_preset=”default” custom_padding_tablet=”25px||||false|false” custom_padding_phone=”25px||||false|false” custom_padding_last_edited=”on|tablet”][\/et_pb_image][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row column_structure=”3_5,2_5″ make_equal=”on” custom_padding_last_edited=”on|tablet” module_class=”custom_row” _builder_version=”4.9.10″ _module_preset=”default” max_width=”1920px” custom_margin_tablet=”||0px||false|false” custom_margin_phone=”||0px||false|false” custom_margin_last_edited=”on|phone” custom_padding_tablet=”0px||0px||false|false” custom_padding_phone=”||0px||false|false”][et_pb_column type=”3_5″ module_class=”second-on-mobile” _builder_version=”4.9.10″ _module_preset=”default”][et_pb_image src=”https:\/\/rsvp.mbgoldcoast.com.au\/emag\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/700BDEF9-4620-43D6-86B3-11425F21B949.jpeg” title_text=”700BDEF9-4620-43D6-86B3-11425F21B949″ show_in_lightbox=”on” _builder_version=”4.9.10″ _module_preset=”default”][\/et_pb_image][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=”2_5″ module_class=”first-on-mobile” _builder_version=”4.9.10″ _module_preset=”default” custom_css_main_element=”margin:auto”][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.9.10″ _module_preset=”default” custom_padding_tablet=”0px||20px||false|false” custom_padding_phone=”||20px||false|false” custom_padding_last_edited=”on|tablet”]\u201cJust like people, each By Womankinde candle is distinct and special, which makes choosing from our wide range of options easier for clients,\u201d she says.<\/p>\n
\u201cFor me, creating an interesting design with a great scent and colour that complements the client\u2019s space makes my job so special and keeps things interesting every day.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cThere are so many amazing ideas on this platform which inspires me to keep going and create new pieces,\u201d she says.<\/p>\n
\u201cMy favourite By Womankinde design is the Entwined candle set for its understated elegance and beauty, but the Palma and cute Bubble collections are also extremely popular.\u201d<\/p>\n
