Today we’d like to introduce you to Shaq Cruz.
Hi Shaq, we’re thrilled to have a chance to learn your story today. So, before we get into specifics, maybe you can briefly walk us through how you got to where you are today?
Hey y’all, I’m Shaq, the face (and flame) behind QueynMe Candles—pronounced “Queen Me”, because… why not claim the crown? 👑
I’ve always been obsessed with candles—like, burn-one-in-every-room type obsessed.
And one night it hit me: why not make my own?
Now I’m hand-pouring bold, bougie, vibe-heavy candles.
Made with luxury coconut soy wax, a splash of sass, and 100% good energy.
Each scent is a whole mood—and yes, My Typa Man smells like trouble (in the best way 😏).
This isn’t your mama’s candle brand. It’s for young women, real ones, and anyone who loves a whole damn vibe.
Welcome to QueynMe Candles.
Light one up and Think Royally 💜
Would you say it’s been a smooth road, and if not what are some of the biggest challenges you’ve faced along the way?
The journey honestly has shocked me with how easy it’s been. I did my research on my products and the area to try and get the best outcome! Staying consistent with social media has probably been my biggest struggle plus working a full time job, making time for myself, and time with friends, but I trust it will all work out.
As you know, we’re big fans of you and your work. For our readers who might not be as familiar what can you tell them about what you do?
At QueynMe Candles I specialize in creating products people can enjoy in their homes. Especially those that suffer from scented products. With my products you can relax normally in your home without worrying about migraines, allergy flare ups, or asthma issues because our products are non toxic!
Do you have any advice for those just starting out?
I would advise to just go for it and not worry about those around you. That can cloud your judgement and make you feel you aren’t where you’re supposed to be but we each have our own path to take.
