    I started making candles when I was on maternity leave with my daughter in 1995! Since then, it’s always been my go to stress reducer and spares those around me from having a flip flop thrown at their heads LOL! Candle
    Making saves lives!!

  • @SexyChoclateThunder
    @SexyChoclateThunder Před 3 lety +9

    I love making candles because it helps me soothe the feelings in my soul that often times I cannot express in words. I love to set off a mood that is unmatched. A candle isn’t just a candle for me, it’s an experience. And making them is almost like telling a story, from having lights dimmed to Jazz music playing in the background to dancing alone or with a loved one while in the process of making them there’s a story and happy moment that’s comes along with each candle I make. Even for test candles lol. It’s like I’m watching myself before the dream comes true of having my own candle business and it makes me smile by itself to know maybe one day I’ll sell some candles and other people will buy them and love them just as much as I do. That’s the reward in itself for me! Anything after that is a plus.Just another person picking up on good vibes. I am a new candle maker (1 month in) and the joy I get from learning interesting facts about how to make a candle down to the science(math) it involves, it actually makes me realize I have more strengths than weakness and I can do anything I dedicate myself too. I’ve mastered math because of just how dedicated I was to learning how to do this. That’s one subject I ran away from my whole life!! Candle making has taken me out of a huge depression I sunk in and lifted my spirits into a safe place. Where I can now let another creative side of me shine through. I used to be in stores for hours smelling and buying candles and filling up cabinets with them, and now I’m making them myself and for a future business. The joy is being able to make something ive always loved to own, to something I can make for myself. Ive learned so much from CZcamsrs like yourself and being encouraged by people who are just as passionate about this as me. That makes me extremely happy. I really love your content it’s very soothing.I subscribed yesterday and watched and liked everything because your content is really good! Very informative, detailed and refreshing. Keep up your awesome work and keep the videos coming. I can’t wait to see you live with my all time favorite supplier wooden wick co! You rock from one candle maker to another!🕯❤️🕯

    If you like to be able to write on your tester strips, Rustic Escentuals has wider testing strips. They are SO much easier to write on. I’ve tried several WW fragrances and for the money I’m spending, I EXPECT a strong throw. I use their vessels, but know I can spend the same amount of money with other suppliers of luxury FO’s and get more bang for my buck. Thank you for this video. I have combined coco ap and 486. I’m on to mixing other waxes. I love learning new wax combos! Many blessings and much love to you! Beautiful studio by the way!!

    I'm a FT Medical Technologist, so I've always loved science and everything related. I see the candle making process as my own research project on how to perfect something. I also love candles and everything scented, so it was like the perfect getaway from "reality". Now planning on converting it to a business.
    I love your studio and the way you show your process, it's been for sure a big inspiration for me, so thanks.

    Making candles has been a person stress relief, which I start my stress meltdown like the candle wax. Who knew a holiday fun gift idea would turn into something I love to do. It makes my family happy to see me do something I love ❤️

  • @ElenaMerrell
    @ElenaMerrell Před 3 lety +1

    Ooooh !!! I'm so excited for this!
    Your videos have been so helpful while getting started in my adventures in candlemaking! After losing my job to covid at the beginning of 2020, I started making candles as a hobby, just to stay busy (I was driving my bf up the wall re-arranging and deep cleaning our house with all the free time I had!). I realized pretty quickly after how much joy and sense of purpose it brought me. It's really cool to try and match a scent to a mood, a moment of nostalgia, or a favorite song (try burning white sandalwood + smoke and listening to Pink Floyd's "Wish You Were Here"). Now I hope to start my own business as a way to help support my family while also being able to set a schedule that allows me to be more available to them day-to-day.

    20% is the boosting wax is the perfect percentage if you’re mixing waxes. I evidently watched this another time! Your videos are so soothing. Testing never stops does it? However, I get really excited when I blend 2 FO’s and come up with a new FO! I’ve been blending waxes for awhile and it really does help with my CT and HT! Thank you for sharing this video, Sweetie!

    @Mariana-yk1hq Před 3 lety

    I really liked this video because, I am just starting to make candles. I really like how she used the wooden wicks with the golden tins for the candles they look really cool. Another thing I liked about this video was that she mixed up the fragrances with other fragrance sents for the candles to try something new !

    I love making candles because they give me peace of mind after a long day of taking care of kids. I needed to come up with a business that my kids can look at as fun and also be proud of doing. Im taking a risk of not having a job just to be on our own and become my own boss. It scary cause you have so many fears of failing. This what i need to do a luxury candle line.

    I’ve always loved burning candles and it wasn’t until the pandemic hit that I realized I loved making candles... here’s the back story. With so much forced time home I found myself “empty” and needing to fill that emptiness. Hmmm what do I love? Seafood but not really into cooking for others. Wine however not wanting to be a connoisseur. Candles hmmm possibly so did some research bought a kit made some candles and fell in love. I find it relaxing even the “stressful times” I’m enjoying this ride. Creating scents, designing labels sniffing my curing candles lol I just love it all. Regardless if I ever win anything or not I love expressing my joy with making candles. Thank you for this video, I love learning all things candles

    When you blended your sp487 with your CAC wax, did you have to increase the thickness of your wooden wicks from a .02 to a .03 or was the .02 enough? I know this video is a few years old now but have you tweaked it since or have it basically stayed the same since then? Thank you

    I love making candles because it is so much fun to create something of my own that can bring a smile to someone. I have always found that candles can make people feel good when they smell a favorite scent. Thank you for the chance to win!

    Hi! Have you found with wooden wick co that some fragrances perform better than others at different temperature?

    I started making candles as a therapy I battle anxiety. It’s been my outlet. I bring awareness to the Mental health community. My husband was super onboard because he says I don’t drive him “crazy” anymore 😂😂😂😂😂 so it’s a win win. happy wife happy life right! 😬

    I love making candles because it allows me to combine my artsy and nerdy side. People don’t realize the science and testing that go into the process!! And I love math...candle math is fun lol

    Okay, Jess, I love that we think alike in SO many ways! The same things you are addressing are things ONCE AGAIN (ugh!) I'm actively (re) addressing in my biz, and tweaking because wax supply is not what it was 8 months ago! (or 6 right? haha). I was feeling so alone in this and I can't thank you enough for your videos. Thanks for walking us through your process, because I personally love the science and troubleshooting of it all ( i love to look at things from every angle) and my business partners are always like--stop! It's good -it's GREAT let's GO! And while they are right --it's good, I want GREAT and streamlined and consistent etc! Tina @Shadow and Glow (Clermont)

      Yaaas totally the same for me 🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻 it’s “good” but I want perfection 😂 I don’t think I’ll have perfect candles for launch, but I’ll continue working on them. I think we put too much pressure on ourselves for perfection (I sure as hell do). This shortage has seriously pushed me back months of work, it’s insane, I’ve had to switch waxes 3 times

    I’d like to live in America just to make candles! We have so many regulations here, (UK) for selling. So we can’t mix fragrance oils, without sending them to be tested which costs lots. Same with essential oils. You can only sell them if you buy a companies already mixed, regulated, oil with their safety data sheets, CLP warnings for labels, and Max 10% fragrance load. Basically everything has to be tested if you want something unique. Same with soap, in-fact that’s harder. Anything you add to a soap base has to be sent for testing. It just adds loads of extra money. 🤷🏻‍♀️

    I discovered that I really enjoyed making candles when I decided to stop smoking marijuana due to my anxiety and refusal to be on medication for it. Long and personal story but I suffer for PTSD which causes my anxiety and marijuana was working great for me wasn’t an avid or daily smoker but it also wasn’t really my thing (doctor’s recommendation) after I refused meds. But candle making has brought me so much peace and relaxation it’s great and the sound of the crackling wooden wick is so soothing and awesome to listen to during meditation and breathing exercises.

    Whew Chile! I loved the video. I love your spirit and calmness. I know that candle making is not for the faint of heart, and when I don’t get the results that I intend, I don’t take it so well. I would love to win the WW box because honestly, I could not afford it myself. Thank you for your videos.

    Hi hun! First off I cannot thank you enough for all of the beautiful content you so graciously share...you are truly an inspiration :) Since I can remember I've been obsessed with anything pertaining to scents particularly candles (just the thought oooh la la). While the business aspect of it has crossed my mind for years now I finally mustered up the courage to take a leap of faith and just DO IT like NIKE! To be quite honest due to the candle supply shortage and this being a new business venture I have not been able to purchase any wax or necessary supples just to make one little candle, however I have such a deep connection with candles that that I feel as though I've made a ton of candles...the very thought alone brings me pure bliss...If I were to to win the kit this would allow me to quite literally make my very first candle.

    Cannot find SP 487 wax anywhere. I tried SB 487 just in case but again..... nothing. The only thing I can find is the Soy Bliss. Is that what you were referring to? Also, would this combination also work better for tealights and 1 oz containers? thanks.

    Since Covid, I have been using candle-making as part of my self care regimen (I love the process of making something with my own hands)! Once my candles are ready, I lock myself in the bathroom, light the wick and let the scent take me away from the demands of being a wife, mom & school director and take me to a much calmer and relaxing space. Being gifted this set would be a dream! Whether I win or not, thank you for being so generous to share this gift with us... you’re awesome! ❤️
