The Surprising Reason I'm Having a Hard Time Lately
Glossy one. How did you achieve the different textures? Is it by using glossy paper & matte. Looks nice.
Thank you! I feel I was led to see this video to bridge some gaps.
❤
I appreciate you opening up and sharing your experience in managing your mental health and more about yourself. I hope when you look back on this video in a year, you see all the growth you hope to achieve😊
Thank you and I truly appreciate these words. Life really is about learning and growing through the ups and downs. So I hope I can look back on this in a year too and see even more of a change 😊
Loved getting to know you more! Praying for you to get that house you want/deserve and for your depression to go away!! I went through depression/anxiety and got worse after having my daughter so I understand. its a marathon, not a race ❤ I would love to see the revamp of your Silent Torch blog! Or I could see you having a silent torch group and have live sessions where we can vent about stuff and help empower each other! Theres so many ways you could go with that! PS, you do have really great thick eyebrows! Lol
Thank you so much ❤ I really hope I get that house too lol. My mental wellbeing needs it. I hope that you're doing a lot better these days. This rollercoaster of mental health can be a challenging ride but we definitely have to remember each day is a new start and a new page in our story. Actually, I was working on expanding The Silent Torch blog into an online group and more. But my depression kicked back in and I had to put it on pause. Still, it is on the brainstorming list. So you never know 😊
❤ this Tam. Love you, dear .🥰🙏🏽
Love you too friend ❤
Matte green
I usually do glossy but I love the matte!
Oh Those labels are real nice❤❤❤!!! I think the matte green looks best
Hey girl hey! I enjoyed the video! Can’t wait to see how they burn for you 😃
18:51-18:57: My partner occasionally notices that certain oils will discolor his soap base. I don't think it looks bad, but altering the color is not what he is going for.
14:47-15:22: Another reason completing product testing is essential.
Exactly! I'm glad I didn't make a full batch of candles at once and I'm now able to make the adjustments. If only wick testing was that simple 😂
❤
❤
❤this Tam .🥰🙏🏽
Hey,Tam ❤ the video and I love the scents you chose for the candles. Based on the names alone, I can tell they smell very good. Great choices!.😊🙏🏽
What were you testing?
Well in this video, I was testing the amount of wax to use for these jars. I had to decide what level I wanted the candles to be poured at so I'd know moving forward and adjust my calculations. The rest of the testing will be in an upcoming video.
Love seeing the testing process! Would you ever test with wooden wicks? I love crackling ones from makesy! Also, when do you plan on doing another event?
You know, I thought about it when I first started but read about the difficulties of testing them. But I do have plans written down for the future so you never know. As for the events/markets, I just signed up for a bunch for September thru November. So fingers crossed I get a couple of them because I enjoy doing them.
Can’t wait to see which scents you pick!
Premier 767 and up do well in those too dep on the wax
The back tops will give you room for 9-10 oz and the bamboo will shave you down to 8-8.5 oz. Ive used those for quite awhile and recently switched jars. Great choice. HTP 73/83 wicks do well in that jar.
Thank you so much for the recommendations. I believe I still have some HTP wicks somewhere as an alternative wick to test.
9:43-9:51: Interesting. I believe a Jo Malone candle representative shared that with us last year as we were sampling scents.
3:54-4:04: I vote for the bamboo top, but if it works for you either way, perhaps a CZcams poll?😀
3:25: The frosted glass will look lovely displayed. For the last two Christmas holidays, I made whimsical vignettes on a tray-holiday lights, ornaments, figurines, and a form of movement. This year, I am considering adding a candle on a mug warmer to include an aromatherapy experience.
That sounds so decorative. That really sounds like a well-thought-out holiday theme. I think the mug warmer would be a nice touch to showcase the candle.
Hope the testing goes well!! Can't wait for the next video! I need more than 16 minutes 😩🤣
Thank you. I keep thinking my videos are way too long 😂. Testing is going well with a few hiccups that's expected. I'll be sharing some of the process soon.
Your videos are uplifting. I launched my candle business today and went straight home to watch this video, because I wanted to see what you thought about the supplier's. I lovecCS and Midwest, both are great and I supplement it with hive & honey as well. Good work, lady 😊😊😊
Aww, thank you so much ❤Congrats on your launch. Wishing you much success to come. I use Hive and Honey too. All 3 of those companies are wonderful.
I was just thinking about reed difusers, the supplier I have just started using has recipies for some of their oils to make them
I say give them a try. They are so simple to make and they are a good alternative to the candles.
40 years… it must be so hard to part with 😢
It truly was. It's also amazing to see the type of person he was with all the cool stuff we found. It was like getting to understand my dad in a different light. As hard as it was, I'm so glad it's completed.
I enjoy wood furniture, so I am biased. Beyond the pleasant natural aesthetic, it looks like shelving you would expect to see in a retail environment. The neutral color of the wood does not distract from the products. Your display skills also play a significant role in your display, as you tend not to overcrowd it.
I enjoy wood furniture too. I saw so many plastic display shelves on Amazon and was not a fan of them when it came to candles. And thank you. Overcrowded stuff messes with my anxiety and my energy. I get an overwhelming feeling lol
Great video!!! Thumbs up for more videos like these tutorials!!!
Thank you so much. I'll definitely make more tutorial videos 😊
This is awesome. Thanks for walking us through the steps. Watching your videos have inspired me to take a leap.
Thank you for watching ❤. I'm glad you find them inspiring and Yes, take the leap. The scariest part is starting but once you begin new things for yourself and ventures then it becomes comfortable and your new norm. Good luck 😊
You are such a beautiful person inside and out and just know that u deserve everything and more you dream of. And remember to not get in your head because we create our reality with our thoughts, rather negative or. Positive. You should be very proud of yourself and keep up the good work. ❤️
Thank you so so much for these kind words. I really do appreciate this a lot 😊❤
I’ve never used a reed diffuser. I plan to buy one from you when you launch them!
Aww thank you so much. Now I really have to make sure it's top line 😊❤
@@LanaciaMarie I’m sure your stuff is already top of the line 😏
Nice video! I hope the diffusers become a good addition to your business especially the fact that it doesn't take nearly as long to make as it does a candle lol 😅
Thank you so much 😊 Yea I really hope so too. I'm still a little shocked at how effortless it is to make them.
3:15: I appreciate that you are risk adverse and verify and confirm your processes. 4:15-4:26: Excellent business tip.
Thank you. It's something in me lol. I guess I'm still a low risk taker lol. My mentality is better safe than sorry. 😊
@@LanaciaMarie Agreed. As a working-class person, I can not afford costly mistakes. Also, learning the rules allows one to flex them to your (lawful) benefit.
This is so random but you have nice eyebrows lol
Aww, thank you lol 😊 They definitely run in my family because a lot of us have those thick eyebrows.
I just came across your videos and have watched a couple of them. I love your attitude towards things and your business. I took a look at your etsy store and noticed that you don't have the warmers listed for your wax melts. Do you sell them along with your wax melts? If not, you might want to think about it because it could increase the sales of your melts to those that may not already have a warmer. You could offer them as a set with the melts or offer the warmers and melts individually.
Thank you so much ❤. And you know, I was thinking about wax warmers last year when I was planning everything out. But I'm still looking for a good, affordable supplier, and the warmers are good because I don't want to offer just anything. But I definitely would love to offer those because you're right it would work with my melts and I have plans mapped out for bundles and gift sets that incorporate them. Thank you for the feedback. If you know of any reputable suppliers, feel free to share 😊
You are a sweet person! I think what you wear is perfect! People are not very good people if they feel like they need to make fun of others!! Do you girl!!! I love your videos!! ❤
Thank you so much. These words truly mean a lot to me 😊❤
Wishing you the best in all you do. You are inspiring me to get moving on my business
Thank you so much ❤ And I wish you all the best as well. You will get your business up and running. Remember, not to stand in your own way because we tend to do that a lot in life. And that nothing is impossible. You got this 😊
I loveeed your display. You're doing such a great job and I am rooting for you 100%. I also want to say I'm sorry for your loss; I know that's tough. My daughter's birthday is on the 23rd as well (and my sister's on the 27th) -- I found it sweet how you and your dad share birthdays with my family. You know he's looking down and supporting everything you do and is your biggest fan! I look forward to seeing more of your videos!
Aww! Thank you so much. It means a lot to have all this support. And that's so awesome that your daughter and sister have birthdays similar to my dad and me. Now I try my best to make him and my mom above, proud of me. Thank you ❤
And please, please, please run your websites through an accessibility checker and address the flagged issues. For example, images must be tagged. Videos must have captions and audio descriptions. Look at WCAG 2.1 AA. Start there, the requirements may be higher.
I am unfamiliar with wax melts, but they seem like a good option since we prefer not to burn anything in our home. Instead, I put my candles on a mug warmer to emit fragrance.
12:41-12:44:💪🏾🎉💰😊
New Year’s Day tradition: taking a full day of gratitude and self care. A requirement after a whirlwind tour of cooking for the holidays😅
Good job lady ❤
Thank you so much 😊
Not certain if Brooklyn is far from your location. Renegade Craft fair shows they were in Brooklyn May 2024. Is Renegade expensive?
A lot of the markets I've applied for are in Brooklyn. And yes, that market is very expensive and out of my budget for my 1st year.
@@LanaciaMarie Thank you for sharing that feedback. I was surprised Renegade-San Francisco did not charge us an entry fee. We did pay a donation at the door because we value the effort and time it takes to put on a maker’s market. I don't understand why they don't charge a reasonable entry fee, which should theoretically reduce the maker’s booth fee.
@@civilizeddiva you're welcome. And I agree. From what I read, the entry fee is just a suggested fee. Most people here would pay $20 - $25 to enter. And that would lower the vendor fee. Because $750 for a full booth is a lot to pay for those just starting out.
4:50-4:57: Great idea to drape fabric on the risers.
Thank you 😊
I'm looking forward to seeing how your testing progresses and learning about the new product you have coming🎉. Thank you for sharing your knowledge and experience.
