Thank you for supporting my channel so I can continue to provide you with free content! - Jak na to + styl
I love your video style just exactly how it is: some candle making, some packing, some talking and some music with no talking. It's the perfect combo IMO! I'm in the process of testing to open my own skin care and candle business and you are such an inspiration ❤ I'm so glad I found your channel 🥰
I agree!
Wow I can’t wait to get to this stage! Thanks for sharing this video!
Any time!
I love how you showed how to do a candle business from your small apartment that shows it is possible no matter what space you have. I love your new candle studio. I like your videos would like to see how you started your business and why and tips or things you learned along the process
I love good packaging too! Presentation is everything.
Honestly, I agree with you. The silent videos with voice over is preferable for me because it decreases any need to edit or reshoot any mistakes. It’s probably easier for you also because While you’re watching the video you can do the voice over. But whatever makes you comfortable, I’m just so thankful & grateful for the info that you pass along to us.
I love silent videos and talking videos as long as you are making candles or packaging orders haha I'm glad I found your channel!
You are truly a one woman show. Go girl!
Silent videos are awesome with the music. We just want to watch 🦄🥳
Packed perfectly!
Honestly I really like your Video you have a good balance of it when your working you have no talking but word to read and when your talking your giving us all your attention and when you packaging your focused with melody so I’d say keep doing this ❤️🤓🌹
The way you do your work it's wonderful. Appreciate your calibre. Huge round of applause 🙏 👍 love from India.
We are such kindred spirits. Our work ethic is solid, our motivation is on point. I had to start taking an hour lunch or a literal 15 minute timed break. Love, A Candle and Soap Maker in Texas
once we get started, it can be so hard to know when to stop!
Good Morning, I’ve always wanted to open a candle /soap business. I have watched a few of your videos. If you are open to suggestions?? I’m all about saving time lol. I’m a nurse and it’s all about time management isn’t it. There seems to be many steps to preparing the jars before pouring. I have a suggestion that would save you some time when it comes to labeling the bottom of your jars/tins, ready ?? Lol. Open the box from the bottom, you can label all the jars and tins while they are in the box, so you are touching them one less time ?? I hope it helps you. I do like the silent videos. Good luck with your business, it looks like you are there.

Thanks!! That’s a great tip. I’ll definitely try that next time. Good luck to you!
Enjoyed watching your vlog!
after watching this video, i subscribed, i love how you works, so neat and very organized. ❤️
THANK YOU!! THANK YOU!! Appreciate you subscribing!
Absolutely Adore Your Videos🥰
Hi I know this an older video but you asked .. I like ASMR ones.. where you just work and we hear the natural noises from doing your job... You don't have to talk unless you want too.. :) I love watching busy, creative things like soap making, cooking, candles making and packing ASMR vids.. I love your studio! Super cute.
Hello I watch u from France.. And I like your packaging also your socks.. 😂keep it up
New to your channel and think that you're very comfortable on camera 😊. I'm looking forward to seeing more of your content.The products look great! Greetings from Buffalo NY ❤️!!!
Love your vids
I will start a Business
I’d have to say yours is my favorite studio blog and videos in general re: candle making.
Do you buy all your packaging (wrapping paper) from uline?
Where do you buy your 4 oz jars?
Ma'am can you make a video on how to measure candle wax, how to add the fragrance oils, like wat type of wax do you use, wat all things needed to start candle business...
Please 🙌❤️
SO happy to have discovered your channel recently! Would love to see a video learning more about the wholesale process - like do you need to have specific licensing or insurance? For video style I loved the mix of just music sections watching your process & a lil bit of you talking 😊.
Thank you so much! Yea I like the music sections too (less pressure for me to talk lol 😉).
I like the mix of talking, music, making candles and packing too. Also how do you decide on new scents?
@@felisadurr8952 Appreciate your feedback! I usually just pick something i like since Im going to be smelling it every day while i make it. or I see what my customers like and try to recreate new fragrances similar OR sometimes i take polls on my IG page to ask what they want. If something isnt selling well then i discontinue after a a while.
Hey!! I love this studio vlog. I am planning to open a small candle business. Maybe you could share us your knowledge on how to start making candles.
This was a great video. I was curious how much fragrance were you adding to each pouring pot.
Love your channel! Do you perhaps have a line sheet pro forma you could share with us?xx
good work
Hi Great video! Thanks for sharing. Can you share what vendors you purchase the candle jars from? I would like to keep my inventory stocked, which has been challenging just starting out.
I love this video just that sometimes am not sure what your doing.
So I prefer you talk while doing it or leave a text on the screen 😊😊😊
New Subscriber here! Can you do a video talking about the printer you use for your labels??
I love your video so much. Please can you recommend where I can get long lasting fragrances for candles?. Please, thank you
Love your videos thank u I’m struggling with wick testing! I used eco 16 for my tins and the melt pull wasn’t there and neither was the smell any suggestions?
Would you tell what do you use to make does 👄 lips balm? Is very interesting all what you do I love it ❤️
I love you video's so much. It gives me a good insight of how you run a candle business. I have a question; can you show us how you clean your station (after all the dried up wax)? It becomes a mess in my studio and i dont know what the best way is...
Thank you and love from The Netherlands! ♥
Thanks for watching!! Yes I’m as actually thinking of making a video about cleaning up!
❤️❤️❤️
Pretty hair...Anywho i just found you as I'm going to start making candles and try to sell to local stores as my town has many mom n pop shops that would love it..Anywaysmay i ask how you go about getting wholesale orders/ and what do u find is the best advertising method.Keep up the great content
I think your work is amazing how do you know the amount of fragrance to use to make a good smelling candle.
Where do you order your fragrance in bulk? Also what printer do you use to print out your stickers?
Hi Can you show how you measure fragrance with the wax plz??
God bless you
hi! How do you sanitize and sterilize your glass jars?
Great video! What are those things you used on top of the tins to keep the wick centered?
Its a wick centering tool. company i bought them from no longer makes them but I've seen a few sellers on ETSY have them
Thank you for video but How do I get the wax material and molds .
Hello love your vlog 😁🤗 may I ask what printer do you use? Your labels look so wonderful
Thanks it’s the LX500C from Primera
i think the name wonderlush would be for elegant
I like ur jars where did u purchase them ? Do u use cd wicks in all your candles. Glad I came across ur channel enjoy watching ur videos
Candle science but I’m sure you can google other vendors that have them as well.
What do you use to design your labels??
where did u get thoses white wick holders
Where do you buy those big jars of scented oil.
Where do you order wholesale wax from? Thank you!!
OMGosh!I had to get a second look when I first saw you. I thought you were Yolanda from 'How to cake it" You all could be sisters or cousins!
Haha I don’t know who that is. I’ll have to watch
@@UrbanWanderlustStudios Here ya go! There's quite a resemblance 😁 czcams.com/video/14wC-hdHvNY/video.html
Omg just saw her and I totally see it!!
any way carry on good busnies god bles u and your busnies
What wick size do you use for that glass jar?
Hi. What wicks do you use?
Hi there, loving your content and how you go through the entire process including when you stop for breaks, etc. Would be great to hear which label printer you use and hot that's working out? Many thanks 🙏🏻
thanks! Been thinking of making a video ALL about my label printer. Stay tuned for that soon!
@@UrbanWanderlustStudios I'm also very interested in the label printer info. I noticed the one you link to isn't the one you use here, and I'm wondering of there's a big difference in quality between the two, because the labels in your vid look amazing!
@@ElectroAnnie I think they might be sold out of the one I use. The difference between the LX500c (the one I have) and the lx500 is that the “c” means it has a cutter that cuts the paper for you. That’s all. Otherwise you’d have to rip it yourself using the metal teeth on the printer
@@UrbanWanderlustStudios Oh! Ok, I guess I was confused. When I looked up the name of the one you showed, it came up as being over $1k more than the linked one.
@@UrbanWanderlustStudios Oops! I think I was mistaking the shipping label printer for the packaging label printer. Lol
What is the liquid for the birthday candles mam
Can I Ask how much degree you pour fragrance to wax?
Hi, it’s beautiful! Can you tell me what printer is that? Please
thanks! For my candle labels I use a Primera LX 500C and for anything else i use the HP Color Laser Jet Pro MFP M479fdw
Wet spots really don’t matter because even the big candle company’s like woodwick have them maybe even bath and bodywork’s might too.
Totally agree! Not much we can do sometimes to prevent it and it doesn't take away from how the candles burn
How did you start selling to stores
Hiiii! I love your videos 🥰
What printer do you use for the candle labels?
LX500C from Primera
@@UrbanWanderlustStudios thank you very much for answer 🥰
Thanks for the video.. If your candles need a 2 week curing time but you make and ship them in a weekend.. when do they cure?
I use soy wax which takes 1 week to cure (you can cure for longer if you like). This video was taped over a few days + time it takes to ship to it's destination = 1 week. I time everything out. But to each their own, some makers only cure for a few days others a few weeks. See what works for you and your wax type.
OMG what printer is that I need
Where did you buy you label printer?? I really love it and want one
It should be listed above - from Primera. It’s the LX500c. It’s definitely an investment but great for high volume businesses
How do you make the surfaced the candles so flat? Is their any tips? Thank you
That’s years of testing the right formulas and pouring temperatures. It’s different for everyone depending on type of wax, the climate where you’re pouring and curing.
I am happy I found you! Watching thru all of your vids. I think you mentioned working w/ soy. That is what I am currently doing and I have added 2% beeswax to help. I still have issues w/ cooling and sink holes some. I like the idea of the heat gun but the darkening of the wicks and the swirl that's left behind drives me nuts. Did you have those same issues? Any suggestions? Thanks so much!
Keep the heat gun away from the wick. Only point towards the edge and it will slowly melt the entire top. Or you can try holding g the heat gun further away from the top at a lower level- takes longer to heat/smooth tops, but helps keep your wick intact.
@@UrbanWanderlustStudios Thank you! I will try that! Did you have issues with the heat gun leaving the shiny swirl in the wax? I might be overthinking it. I’m sure customers won’t even notice. I’m trying not to baby them too much because I feel like it’s impractical as I grow.
Yes I’ve had those shiny swirls too. People won’t notice but we do. Annoying lol. You can either heat it up one more time and they will most likely go away or leave it as is.
@@UrbanWanderlustStudios Thank you! Really appreciate your time 💗
Hi from Thailand . Could you tell me where to get wick picker that you use in the video?
Hi!! You can find them on Amazon- amzn.to/3GVtQzL
Love your video! Which printer are you using to make the labels for the lip balm & candles?
Thanks so much for watching! Printer is LX500c from: www.primera.com/lx500c-color-label-printer-config.html
@@UrbanWanderlustStudios thank you!
Love this!! For the printer- do you have to buy labels in the various sizes you need separately and change out the paper each time you print different labels for the candles and the lip balm? How cost effective is the lx500- really considering purchasing one. Thanks for any insight!
i love your job net an clean candals making but if u dont mind if u have more iedeas u safe your more time coz am macanical Engnir
You don’t clean the jars when you take them out of the box? How do you keep from getting all of the little cardboard particles out of ur wax ?
Yep I have a whole system! I clean every single jar the moment I receive them at the same time I'm checking for damages (broken jars/cracks). I forget which video I mentioned that in...
First time on your channel. I'm trying to add candles to my soaps making line. Do you have any advice that can help me out? thanks.
Thanks for watching! Definitely take you time in testing your candle line. Don’t try to add too much so quickly. Focus at perfecting one product that a time and then move on when you think you can take on more. You don’t want to spread yourself too thin. I did that when I first started and had to refocus myself cuz it was a lot to handle at once. Hope that helps. Good luck!!
Thank you for the advice. Will do.
Здравствуйте. расскажите пожалуйста как вы начинали и как выши на такие продажи))))
New Subbie..🌸
where do you get your warning labels?
I get mine from makesy
What is the ratio of your scented oil to wax melt.
Hey thanks for watching. That’s my personal formula that I’m not sharing with anyone. But if you continue to do testing and find your perfect match for the type of wax you’re using hold onto that secret!
what is the printer that do you use?
It’s the LX500c. I talk about it here in this video: czcams.com/video/q9sx0vuRTMU/video.html
What is the name of your label printer. I am looking for this type for so long
It’s the LX500c from Primera. I made a video all about it here: czcams.com/video/q9sx0vuRTMU/video.html
I want to start this is this that profitable? I k from india
Hi, I follow you on Instagram. They are beautiful, impeccable work, very tasteful. I would like to know if the candles you produce are soy paraffin or coconut wax. Thanks. Paul. São Paulo - Brazil 🇧🇷
Obrigado! :) My candles are 100% soy wax. No paraffin or coconut.
@@UrbanWanderlustStudios
Thanks
✨✨🖤✨✨🖤✨✨🖤👍🤗 📦📦📦
