You mentioned that you found a great way to store the mini fragrance testers… still waiting to see that please! 🙏

So interesting!

I’m based in the US. I use a tips dipped in each oil placed in the same baggie for 24 hrs will give me the final answer on if I want to combine scents or not.

Sadlu due to legislation we are not allowed to do this in the UK as every scent has to go through individual testing to be approved despite all the contents already being individually tested to go on sale to the general public. I've had to go back to the drawing board and start trialling a different wax as I went from 100% success to 100% failure after buying more wax and wicks (same wax and wicks just a different batch) and since then I've not found another wick that will burn adequately so I've now start using soy, I was using Parasoy because the cold and hot throw is incredible as well as holding colour really well.

I love you.

Not being a candle business owner myself (just a fan of candles), I loved the more vlog style vibes of this one!

Did you ever try raising up your digi boil so that your scale and poring pitcher fit under it? I think it is memory box candle who puts it on concrete blocks. Just might save you a step in the process.

I use a silicone mat to pour on that way if I spill wax I just stretch the mat to get the wax off when it dries

I love your videos ❤️

Try 454 its my favorite wax!

Thank you. Can you please do a studio tour? I love how you have things organized.

Most of us aren't pouring candles in full glam... I love that you keep it real. I think content is more relatable when we see the same struggles that we have. Very nice video! :)

I use 464 wax and I’ve just come to terms that it is picky with fragrance oils. There are some fragrance oils that just work wonderfully and give me beautifully smooth tops with no sink holes right off the bat, I dont even need to use a heat gun, and some others where it is just a hot mess and I have to keep smoothing the tops over and over again. I had to come to terms that sometimes it is just not worth the effort, energy and anxiety to continue trying to make one fragrance oil work, so I just pivot from there. If I have a very particular vision I am trying to achieve with the FO that is not working, then I try to use a similar fragrance oil from a different supplier to see if that would fetch me better results. IDK if it helps! On the other hand, thanks for sharing!!! Love seeing the more candid, realistic content ❤️

I just picked up that glue gun and plan on switching too! The wick stickers are so inconsistent. 😩

Completely agree! I don’t have anyone close to discuss candle making with 😭 but the FB groups really do help!

Thanks for the video - good to see the pros and cons of each!

100% agree with your thoughts! Great video 👏🏻🙂

Where can we order? I bet they smell amazing just in time for summer ❤

BBW uses paraffin wax and vegetable wax in their candles for better scent throw as do many. Generally it’s the scent that makes you get headaches as well as soot from improperly sized and trimmed wicks. Beware palm wax is contributing to the rainforest demise

I agree with everything you said here! What a wise approach !

I am still working on getting up and running and putting together my first line of candles. I have a strange way of looking at the candle maker competition thing, donuts! I know it sounds funny, but I feel that when you have a product that is so similar to so many other makers the competition (challenge) is in getting your product in front of people.

I am actually attending the Handcrafted Soap And Cosmetic Guild conference. As a novice maker I was nervous to attend. I’m so happy I took the plunge - everyone was so friendly and helpful. It’s an amazing community of other makers and technically competitors but it has been very refreshing to see the love and support of this community. Everyone has been so willing to share their knowledge and experiences. It has been exactly what I needed to gain knowledge and confidence to open my doors to a business. It has been a much different experience from just being on FB forum.

Fog and fern had me thinking of you instantly!

Your packaging is beautiful and I love the wax seal! Where did you get the stamp, wax, and gun? Thank you 😊

Hi, can you show how to add listings on shopify? I’m not the most tech savvy

How do you get all these customers?

'PromoSM' ⭐

Hello, so does that mean you test the outcome everytime you produce them? (Since the temperature changes )

More on etsy and shopify pls

Just some helpful feed back- usually watch most my videos on my phone and unfortunately when you posted the scent notes it isn’t legible. I’m sure on a computer or tv you can see just fine. Love your videos and so glad I found you!

Just found your videos!! My husband and I are preparing to get our own business off the ground soon. LOVE your style and ordered candles today right away!!! Excited to sniff!!!❤

I love Candle Science! Even their customer service is amazing. But I just did what you were talking about, I placed an order and then a few days later realized that I didn't order everything I needed so I had to turn right back around and order again. My brain is all over the place. 🤣

No USPS pickup available at m y house :-(

More on Etsy and Shopify please

First maker I have heard discuss a power burn. Good idea.

you took some really nice shots, thanks for sharing

I feel that product photography is the area I struggle with the most. Do you use canva to edit your photos? Still trying to work through that learning curve. So glad I found your channel! I love your vibe and look forward to hearing more about your business experiences.

Holy cow, Brambleberry’s fragrance oils are expensive!😬
