Cheyanne and Cali Campos, founders of Fizzy Friendz Bath Bomb LLC, have found the support of the Fayetteville Community since creating a business to help bring awareness to their charity, Giving Back Warm Hugs. With the mindset to never give up and preserve over any obstacle the Campos sisters encourage any entrepreneur no matter how young or how old to start their own businesses and even provide support and resources in taking the first step.
GFBJ: Can you tell me about the creative process of coming up with your own business and how that transpired?

CHEYANNE: The pandemic happened, and we needed money for our charity and things had slowed down. So, me and sister were fighting at the moment like sisters do, and Cali storms in the bathroom, and my mom likes to decorate our bathrooms and she has bath bombs in there which we can’t use because we have psoriasis and eczema.
CALI: I was just running the water. I was going to take a shower because I was so mad about our argument. It wasn’t that important, but at the time it was. But I look at the bath bombs, and I was like, “Oh my god, Chey – we can make bath bombs for our charity.”
And Cheyanne was over there saying, “What, Cali? What are you talking about?” So I stop the water, and I’m frantic and I’m just like, “We need to make bath bombs, not only for sensitive skin, but to raise money for our charity.” So we thought about it and did some research and then went to our mom with the idea, and she actually shot us down three times.
When we came to her and said we wanted to make bath bombs she said, “No, you guys can’t make bath bombs.” Even after we told her they would be organic, she still said no. So we go do more research and came back to her and said we would make them bright and fun and she [said], “Everyone has bright and fun bath bombs.” And we were like, “Okay.” ... We come back a third time and we told her that it would be for our charity and the bath bombs would include treasures in to bring attention to the charity because everyone has something inside of them.
GFBJ: How did you come up with the name of your business?
CHEYANNE: There are hidden little things in [the bath bombs], hence why it’s called Fizzy Friendz. So our logo, if you look at it, the bath bomb that the unicorn is on is red because our dad’s favorite color is red. You can also see in the “F” that the whole thing white. That’s because of God. So what we do, all of it is to worship him, which the dragon is also pointing up, which is referencing God as well.
The “z” at the end of friends is actually for our grandma, and our bags are pink because that was her favorite color as well.

GFBJ: What was it like learning how to make your products on your own? Do you make your products on your own and pick scents for them?
CHEYANNE: It took a long time to figure it out because we had to do a lot of research. Bath bombs – they kind of create bubbles on top of them, and you want to make them correctly. We also wanted to make them bright for kids, so we had to make sure they weren’t dull. There were lots of errors, and it took a long time to figure it all out.

CALI: Once we figured out the measurements for the oils, we finally got our main base and backbone for future products. And it’s a family effort to make them. Currently we have 31 scents and we usually see what colors go best with what scent and stuff like that. We also rotate our scents.

CHEYANNE: We have two other businesses that are connected to Fizzy Friendz that have different scents for them. We have Healers Promise which is more herbal remedies and scents that are not as bright and colorful. Then we also have Fizzy Bones which is for dogs.

GFBJ: Tell me more about your non-profit.

CALI: We got an official charity in 2018, but me and Cheyanne have been doing charity work since we were three and four.
CHEYANNE: It all started when we went to Disney when we were little, and we were on the teacups and our mom was watching us when a lady approached our mom and was like, “Oh I was watching your little girls and they’re beautiful. You should put them in modeling or acting.” And our mom was caught off guard cause in her mind she’s like, “Why are you watching them?”
The lady gave my mom a card, but she eventually threw it away. We were having dinner later that day talking about it and I told my mom, “It’s okay. You don’t have to make me a superstar. God will.” Then my dad stepped in and was like, “Well, you’re going to have to try.”

After a while we went to Atlanta for a workshop, and Cali got a contract to do commercials and whatnot and, with that, we made a promise to God to let us become superstars to help children.
CALI: The first paycheck was $68 dollars, So we took $8 dollars and got ourselves LEGOs and then we took the rest of the money and donated that as well as a jacket to a principal at a public school. Then as we got more into charity work people began to ask, “Why don’t you have a charity?”
So we created Giving Back Warm Hugs. One of the events that we do is we take over local elementary schools and give the kids new socks and shoes. This year, we also did a huge kickball bash before school started where we gave the students book-bags, school supplies, and gave them haircuts.

CHEYANNE: We also give Christmas to 500 kids and their families. Throughout all of our events we try to have STEM activities so the events can be educational. One of things we have done is have the kids make their own DNA strands with gummy bears and gumballs.

GFBJ: What events do you have coming up?

CALI: October is National Bullying Awareness month, and we’re going to go into the school systems [to] tell [the students] why it’s bad to bully.
CHEYANNE: So the stop sign is a bath bomb that the kids can hold in their hand and have as a reminder to stop look around and think, “How can I be the change?”
GFBJ: Who is someone you look up to or see as a role model?

CHEYANNE: I would say my grandma for always being calm and really taking a step back, because she never liked to start anything. She was calm and very reserved. She used to make key chains for our events that said “Be the change” and had the tree of life on it with a heart, cross and pair of shoes.
CALI: I would have to say the same thing.
