Meet Rose & Dguerson Joseph | Entrepreneurs

We had the good fortune of connecting with Rose & Dguerson Joseph and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi Rose & Dguerson, how did you come up with the idea for your business?
My husband and I are a very ambitious and driven pair. Unplug and Unwind is our second business together. In 2020, during covid our other business halted as everything was shut down with no insight on where things would reopen.

We have always loved smell goods for our home ranging from candles to room sprays. We especially loved to use them after cooking and cleaning. For those who are from the Caribbean can surely relate, after cooking the smell of the spices and the food would permeate the house and at times even after cleaning the smell still stuck around.

On one winter evening during covid, my wife was reading and stumbled on an article about toxic candles and realized that the brands she was purchasing was on the list. She started researching about the process of candle making and researching suppliers that supplies natural ingredients. Next thing i know boxes started showing up to the house. She started cooking up some candles, of course I joined her one of those nights. She started teaching me how to make candles. It became another opportunity to date nights during covid especially since we couldn’t go any where. I know this sounds odd for a date night, but it was amazing. We started blending some scents together and testing them out. We also later expanded into making rooms prays and reed diffusers.

With every burn, we experienced a different sense of relaxation. It became a thing for us, a routine. Work hard during the day , light a candle afterwards and start to Unplug and Unwind. As ambitious as we are, it became equally important to unplug from and unwind to reset the clock for the next day. We felt that it’s an important message to share with this same message with world through our non toxic, paraben free products. Thus Unplug & Unwind was born!

What should our readers know about your business?

Our humble beginnings started in our kitchen, at times we experienced several instances of frustration especially when we are testing our products. We may have the perfect blend but testing different wicks at different fragrance loads was at nightmare. But we stuck to our mission and never wavered. We overcame our challenges by taking notes during testing periods to help us remember what worked and what failed.
