who said 150 vessels for a wholesale order wasn't a lot!?? that is an incredible number. ty for sharing your journey. super excited for the relaunch! congratulations, friend! ❤
Thank you so much! ❤😘
Don’t feel bad! We all miss the mark sometimes. It’s better to have a fabulous late release than a mediocre on-time release. You should be proud! Your new jars and labels look amazing! ❤
Thank you, Jessica!! ❤
That’s amazing! Relaunching is ok and nothing to be embarrassed about. When you do it all yourself it takes time. Pat yourself on the back. Great job.
Thanks for the sweet words!
I feel your pain! My own launch is taking forever due to changes in vessel choice and testing of multiple waxes. The content you've posted has been very helpful and greatly appreciated. Best of luck with your relaunch!
I'm glad you've found it helpful! Thank you so much. Best of luck to you, as well! ❤
I have never in my life been so back and forth on anything until i became a candle. Im on my forth vessel which is actually the one i started with. Im on my 5th wax. Im an over tester. My husbabd says im looking for a perfection i may never find. I find a safe wick and im like...ok im just going with it. Then im like well...lets try this type of wick. Which is why i now own every type and size wick ever made! 😂
So glad to hear other people struggle with wicks. New at this and so far away from launching. Thanks for sharing!
After watching your video about Titan 51144 I decided to try it and did some blend testing. I don’t mind paraffin but thought it had a higher coconut blend. I was never happy with any wax on its own and now I mix a blend with Titan, C6 and 6006. For the first time no sink holes and nice white color. It is exhausting finding that sweet spot. Wish you a lot of success.
It can be exhausting for sure! Thank you so much. Wishing you all the best, as well!
Most people only fill those jars to the shoulder of the jar, not to the top narrow part.
Hi there! I do stop at the shoulder. I fill them to 7oz like candle science suggests.
@@calafiacandleco I guess I misunderstood why the jars caused wicking problems. Sorry.
@@user-un6fw8ge8h Oh no worries! With that, I meant that you just have to take into account the narrower opening because it retains a little more heat.
So excited for the relaunch!!! Everything happens for a reason ❤
Thank you, friend! ❤️
Happy Accident! Sounds great and don't be too hard on yourself many people don't understand the work that goes into creating something like custom candles. Do you and don't skim on the details! Congrats on moving forward and getting to the other side. Persistence does pay off.🎉
That's very true, Nancy! Thank you so much. ❤
So glad to hear you’re relaunching! Been learning a ton from your channel in the last couple of months and really looking forward to supporting your upcoming launch❤️ you’re doing awesome!!!!
Thank you so much! ❤
Hey Bri! So happy to see your face💕 Please do not put any added pressure on yourself.
As a candlemaker who is preparing to rebrand, it takes alot of time, effort and work. I learned last year to just take one day at a time. At the end of the day, it is your company and brand and to present and give excellence, takes time! It will all be worth it when you launch. Best wishes and many blessings to you!
I needed to hear that! Thank you so much for the kind words. ❤
Hi Bree,,1 love the color on your labels. I’ve looked everywhere Help!
Hi! They are just kraft labels from online labels.
Love your content and the attention you have with your business. Much continued success 😊
Hello you are amazing thank you so much for being so authentic just remember everything happens for a reason I tell myself just to trust the process
Congratulations on your upcoming re-launch 😊
Thank you for the encouraging words! I appreciate it. ❤
Thank you. Needed this ❤
Of course! Thank you for watching! ❤
Your video’s are so inspiring, they are also relevant to everyone who is struggling with all things Candle related. Thank you for all that you do 🤗
That is so sweet! Thank you so much! I appreciate it.
Paraffin is just as "natural" as soy, coconut, etc.
I completely agree. I don't mind it at all.
Such a wealth of knowledge as always and love how thoughtful in your approach to every detail. Wishing you so much success Bree 🙌💗💫
Aw thank you so much for always being the most supportive!! ❤
Hi Bree Love your channel. I’m new to candle making and have learned so much from you. After watching both of your videos about the Titan 51104 wax I went back to the website for H&H and the description for the wax lists paraffin last which would make you think that it has the least amount of that ?! Sounds like you spoke with them ? That’s so misleading. Anyway love your products and here’s to a fabulous launch !!!
Hi there! I'm not sure that they list the ingredients of their waxes in any particular order. It used to say a "small amount of paraffin", so I know it did get changed. Thank you for watching and for the support! ❤
We are in the Same Boat
Wishing you the best!!
@@calafiacandleco . Thank You my Dear we are Half way there . I redid website and it almost Finish and catch this Strawberry Ocean is my Mothers Day Candle Scent❤️
thanks for sharing your journey I've watched quite a while. You have been a success! I feel I went through much the same as you with waxes and the containers. it's funny I ended up with the exact jar except I was using the clear straight after I decided concrete was just too much effort and there was too many issues all the time for me. I even had jars cracking while burning after years of testing I said no more concrete! But in the end the place I have a booth I still couldn't sell enough candles to justify making them. The longer they sit on the shelf they just wouldn't look good or sell. Especially using soy waxes. I gave literally 90% what I made away and I found it even more difficult to get feedback from anyone family coworkers or friends just said ya it's a great candle but zero actual feedback.😂 I've rebranded to a 100% wax melt booth and I sell them faster than I can make them some weeks. I've got 40 scents and I sell out about 15 of those scents regularly the rest are just space fillers. I also use unique molds and nixed the typical clamshells. Since I did go back to work part time I've learned this has always just been a side hustle for me when I wanted it to be a career business for me that was hard to take in. I still have zero social media presence and I'm sure that's the downfall of most nowadays I'm just not a socal butterfly and I have learned I have some social anxiety which henders a business that rely on socialness.. So thank you for being social and sharing so much. Good Luck on the rebrand!
Thank you for sharing! That's amazing that the wax melts have been so successful for you!
Have you tested the coconut 83 with wooden wicks? If so any recommendations. I know is based on the jar size as well but I was just wondering.
I tried to in the very beginning of my candle journey, but I found they burned too hot for coco83. I wish I had recommendations for you! So sorry.
What wick seris are you finding work with this wax combo?
I am loving the HPSP wicks! Ultra core are a second runner up.
🩷 So excited for you! Thank you for sharing.
Thank you! Thanks for watching! ❤
Congratulations on your new launch, and kept trying. I need to get out of my head and make some decisions and launch. You have helped me so much 😍😍
