Why Small Businesses Matter in Bridgeport made possible by Fairfield County Bank. Meet Annya (Annie) Brown, founder of NaturalAnnie essentials
Q: Why did you start your business?
A: I started my business to provide natural solutions for my daughter, who faced severe skin breakouts after surgeries for spina bifida and hydrocephalus. Inspired by my Jamaican upbringing, where herbs and oils were used medicinally, I created blends that brought her relief. This journey ignited my passion for natural products, leading to the launch of NaturalAnnie Essentials in 2015. What began with skincare quickly evolved into a focus on soy candles, driven by customer demand and a desire to create products that bring joy and comfort to homes everywhere.
Q: What is your best-selling product or service?
A: Island Vibes Soy Candle SERVICE: our candle-making experience.
Q: Have you reimagined your small business?
A: I’ve reimagined my small business multiple times to adapt to changing markets and customer needs. NaturalAnnie Essentials began as a skincare line, but after recognizing the growing demand for soy candles, I shifted focus to create highly fragrant, eco-friendly candles that quickly became the core of my business. Most recently, I’ve expanded our offerings to include immersive candle-making experiences at our candle bar, creating a space where customers can connect, craft, and celebrate. This evolution has allowed us to grow beyond products, fostering community engagement and new opportunities for growth

It is with immense sadness that Connecticut's Beardsley Zoo announces the passing of Berry, its cherished red panda. Berry passed away on Wednesday following a veterinary procedure. Despite the dedicated efforts of our veterinary and animal care teams, Berry was slow to recover from anesthesia and sadly, did not survive.
Berry, at 14 years old, lived a long and remarkable life, far exceeding the typical lifespan of 8-10 years in the wild and slightly longer in managed care. She was a beloved member of our zoo family and a fitting ambassador for her species, captivating the hearts of visitors, staff, and volunteers with her playful demeanor and striking natural beauty. Her presence inspired countless moments of joy and fostered a deeper appreciation for wildlife conservation among all who had the privilege of knowing her. Red Pandas are a critically endangered in the wild, with as few as 2,500 individuals remaining.
Berry also served as the honorary Mayor of the Zoo, a position she held with charm and grace. Her role as Mayor will be paused as we take time to mourn her loss. Details about the continuation of this zoo tradition will be shared at a later time.
