I have that problem too. Mine is still off
Thank you!!
Do you respond to questions in your comment feed?
Love this video! Question - what has your approach been to how much product you make / bring to markets, once you know estimated foot traffic.
Just in time. I’m doing my first event this Friday. It’s smaller and that’s just fine with me. All great info and things you’ve got me thinking about. Thank you fir sharing 😊
I hope you did well!!!
@ I did! I was so nervous but I had a great time. And I’m so grateful for my family’s help and support.
OMG! Your candles are amazing. They’re beautiful and I can’t wait to order in January. Thank you for all of your videos. I really enjoy watching them. And you have inspired me in so many ways you are amazing! PS don’t let the anxiety get you down, sweetheart. I have it as well. My daughter inherited as well. Some days we have our ups and some days we have our downs just remember to breathe.
Ahhh thank you soo much Mindy!!♥️
We're just back from a vendor event today, and it's always a learning experience. Your tips are spot on for making the event a success. Thanks so much!
Aww thank you so much. Wishing you the best of luck for future events :)
Thank you so much for sharing , I really enjoyed this video ! 😊
Love your videos! It’s so nice to watch what others do for candle making ( as a candle maker myself) to know the things we all do very similar and to get inspired i love it!!
I love Hive and honey too! Angie is so great and her FO are divine
Hey! I love your videos sm! 🫶🏼 What series and size wicks do you use for your double wicked jars and your single wicked jars please?
Congratulations on your seasonal collection!! The husband ordered me the same thermal printer ( I got the pink) it was a Black Friday deal in that color 😅 I honestly don’t care what color it is I’m so excited to use it ( waiting patiently until Christmas lol) thank you for sharing and also I think you’re really going to enjoy Hive & Honey’s fragrance oils , I’m having really good results with them and I enjoy pouring them . Again thank you for sharing & congratulations on your amazing season 🥰
I always look forward to your videos! I was wondering, on average how many candles would your smaller melter make vs ToAuto vs digiboil. I’m not a candle maker, just curious as you mentioned doing small batch in the little one so it sounds as though it can still make a fair few. Thanks :)
I have a question. I don’t know if you’re doing Q&A. But which wicks do you prefer? I’ve been using CD, but the mushroom has really been a problem for me.
@@Mindyjustmindy I use CD series! I don’t mind some mushrooming :)
Love watching your videos, he he just so confusing with fragrance % because I'm from South Africa 🇿🇦 and this soooo much to learn, BUT would love to learn though 😉
Where did you order the jar from?
get a real job. youre too old for this candle stuff...
As another tip to avoid being scammed for in-person market events, if the location is in a business/in the parking lot of a business, I have contacted the business directly to check the validity before.
Do your silicone beakers absorb the fragrance oil? Mine do, I wipe out, use hot water & soap and then spray with alcohol and still they carry a scent.
@@MJSunday yeah they do a little bit, but I’m sooo clumsy so I’m afraid to do glass 😂
Former New Yorker now CT we have nothingggg close for suppliers 😅 the shipping at times costs more than the product total 😅 I keep my tart wax in the soy lite and my soy 10 in the To Auto which I love it’s very on point with temp, and another for my beeswax. Thank you for sharing! P.S. I actually found a drip free pitcher on Amazon, it’s a bit smaller but it’s a game changer. Again thank you for sharing 🥰
you could use your pancake dispenser behind you it doesent make any messes
@@ItsJessie915 I’ve been having issues with both of them!
@ gotcha
Yeay finally!! Thank you for sharing. Cant wait for more educational videos from you x
Hello, just a quick suggestion, the Infrared thermometer reads the surface temperature only, that’s probably why they read differently.
Six minutes before you read the first question I’ll never get back
Always love your videos!
Thank you so much ❤
great video! Please link the rack that you have the soylite melter on? I need a good one asap.
Thank you so much! Adding the link to the description now!
Where is that rack from you put the melter on?
Linking it in my description now!!
Can’t wait for more content in the future.
Awesome information..
I heard photo room is good for product photography is that true
What type of lid is this? Love it ❤
Hi so I’m very passionate about wanting to start making candles, I mean I have made a good bit but have only given out to family and friends and they all love them and always say how I have really good talent and how my candles look so real bc I make dessert candles and grubby candles and I pour my own mold for my pillar making my grubby candles and I then just make my soy candles and I also do my wooden crafts and would love to just add my candles in with my crafts. I’m like u love working with my hands it’s so relaxing to me and really helps with my mental help when I’m having made day I go to my crafts. So I know I had my grandson football league tell me they would use my candles for in fundraiser next year if I could get enough made and some of the ones I want to sell pictures to him which not a problem and figure I could do the flea markets and our big Belleville sell every Wednesday but was wondering about the Shopify I have tried on Etsy with my wooden crafts and it’s like my stuff just don’t get seen bc I’m not ranked so was wonder if Shopify was any better?. Sorry for my stories for I also like telling stories I take after my father lol
You did a fantastic job! You should really be proud of yourself! CONGRAULATIONS! Continued success!
Love you so much! LOVE, LOVE,LOVE this channel! rooting for you all the way from South Africa!
I'd definitely love to see more candle making videos! I think it would be super helpful to see how you do a formula for a candle that has multiple scents vs just one. Also, how strong are fragrance oils in their 'natural' state? I love candles but I usually can't buy them because they smell too strong. It is part of why I'd like to learn to make candles. Buying an unscented candle is boring so I don't like that as the solution. I still want it to have scent, I just want it suuuuuper light and not overpowering. And that seems really hard to find. I get headaches really easily from scents, even if they are natural. I am very sensitive. Any - long winded way of saying I am not sure I would be able to be a candle maker if I wouldn't be able to handle being around the fragrance oils.
I really love watching your videos. Can you tell me which wick series you use??
This was such a helpful video thank you sm! 🥰 Edit: I also forgot to ask what series and size wicks you use for your 1x and 2x wicked candles please? 😊
I don't understand how hot glue keeps the wick in place when it melts with heat, especially when the flame gets closer to the bottom? Thanks!
hot glue has a very high melt point. there are bigger issues at hand if a candle gets hot enough to melt it.
@@abscentaroma Thank you for the info!!
@@fromhumblebeginnings7798 I can’t even get these off the jar unless I have a heat gun pointed to it on high and work at it with a flat metal spoon to pull it off! They won’t come off on 175 degrees in the oven either when I’m melting down to re use jars to test with!
@@amberandoak great to know!!! thanks!
Thank you for all the tips! Where is this wick straw from?
I just added the link to my description for ya! ❤
I was thinking about switching to the hot glue gun too!
i really enjoy watching your videos! Keep it going! <3
Thank you for answering my question! Also, I recently ordered from Leapin Lizard and was very impressed with the quality too.
First 🎉
With that candle jar, what type of wick do you use?
Nice voice I'm watching form India ❤l
Girl you are killing it! So dang proud of you!!
I kinda wanted to see the large pallet....
@@ninarechin2531 watch til the end then!
So skinny you’re so lucky!!
The pistachio merengue is fire. I love it and I want a large bottle for myself LOL. I loveeee your vlogs please do more whenever you’re able to. I will watch them all.
Is that lid custom?
