Alejandro Buxton, 12, is getting ready to light up the Tysons Corner Center mall in Fairfax County, Virginia.
The seventh-grader is the founder of Smell of Love Candles. He started selling candles in November 2020. The so-far 26 candle scents include names, such as “Alexa, clean the house,” “Donut Kill My Vibe,” “Bes (tea)” and “But first, coffee.”
The idea came about after his mom experienced headaches, believed to be related to other candle scents. That’s when the young entrepreneur came up with an alternative — candles made with natural ingredients.
Alejandro Buxton decided the company’s candles need to be made from “ethically-sourced non-GMO soy wax, luxury coconut wax, and essential oils,” according to Smell of Love Candles’ website.
lejandro Buxton had a couple of other reasons for starting the company — he wants to buy more comic books and save for college. In addition to that, he’s donating a portion of the candle company’s monthly profits to charity, according to the company’s website.
He found his first customers at local farmers markets, and now his venture is expanding.
“We moved from the house. Now we have a production space here in Tysons,” Alejandro Buxton said.
Mother Patricia Buxton, is the company’s assistant to the CEO, who happens to be her son.
“I was not doing what he’s doing at 12 years old. I think I was just eating ice cream and playing around,” Patricia Buxton said.
His kiosk will be in front of the Victoria’s Secret on the second floor of the mall.
“Usually in the morning, I work on my business and then I go to school,” he said, when asked how he’ll juggle his responsibilities.
Alejandro Buxton hopes his journey will inspire others.
“Never stop following your dreams,” he said.
The candle kiosk will open at 10 a.m.. He also has YouTube channel and podcast called “Lessons from a Kidpreneur,” where he shares candle-making and business tips.

Pennsylvania Democrat Senate Candidate, John Fetterman, Pulled A Shotgun On Innocent Brotha Back In 2013.
What John Fetterman of PA did to the Black man was actually illegal (he even admitted it on video), yet he never was charged and convicted and the corrupt police department covered for him.
Fetterman was a mayor of Braddock, PA during the time he committed crime against the Black man was committed.
Black Democrats of Philadelphia are trying to hide and cover up John Fetterman's anti-Black racism and hostility toward Black people in order to get Black people to vote. Downright unforgivable.

The Original Uber: The Oral History of the OJ Car Service
The OJ Car Service was literally Uber before Uber. The service owned a few cars, but it was actually the owners of luxury cars that made up the heart of this cab service of sorts. Street hustlers, DJs, MCs and all fly kids who wanted to arrive in style would do so in an OJ.
shop.rockthebells.com "A skip jive, what can I say? I can’t fit ‘em all inside my OJ /Hotel, motel - what ya gonna do today? Gonna get a fly girl, get some spank and drive off in a def OJ...”
Iconic words from rap music’s first commercially successful recording: "Rapper's Delight" by The Sugar Hill Gang. Those words spoken by Big Bank Hank belonged to a collection of rhymes shared by D.J. Hollywood, Eddie Cheeba and others. "Rappers Delight" is the song that your parents and grandparents know and possibly had in their record collections at one time. The rhymes contained in that song are possibly the most remembered and repeated in the genre's history, but - as far as the OJ - how many outside of the five boroughs and the tri-state knew the meaning behind what they were repeating? Many thought that it was a reference to the Buffalo Bills and San Francisco 49ers running back Orenthal James, but those in the 5 boroughs - specifically the Bronx - knew the origins of those lines.
