    If you have a bigger space you may need more than 1 warmer in a room!
    Every warmer and every home are different so what works for me my or may not work for you!
    I know I don't know everything about wax but I am just trying to share my experience with these warmers and how much wax I melt at a time

    I thought I was going crazy; I literally can't get any vendor wax to throw in my Scentsy warmers! I just don't try anymore because I don't want to waste any wax. Scentsy warms phenomenally in my 20w, but can't get it to go the other way around. Great video Sarah! Thank you for sharing!

      I was so bummed that the Scentsy didn't work because they have beauitful warmers and i had so many of them already, Thank you so much I'm glad you liked the video!

    Oh , I use a wet wipe too to wipe out wax from the lower dish but again it works best if it's kinda warm because the wax residue comes right out.

    They have tealight warmers at Walmart! I got mine for around $7, its not big enough for 2 tealights like yours but it gets the job done! I also recently saw someone post about finding smaller tealight warmers at the Dollar Tree & they said they feel like the small/'squatty' size of it causes it to give off a super good throw so I reeeally wanna get me one of those lol! I've just been loving the hell outta your videos lately girl, I get so excited every time you upload & I've been digging the abundance of videos you've had lately! ♡

    • @thingsilove8630
      @thingsilove8630  7 лет назад

      Same here although I have been noticing lately that my wax hasn't been throwing very well from that warmer anymore I have no idea what's wrong! Thanks for watching!

    1. I totally understand what you mean with the Scentsy warmer, mine doesn't melt certain Wax tarts all the way. It's so weird. Now I know, and it was weak with the throw. I also use the mainstays as well. I like my wall one, but for some reason it starts to hang out of the socket
    2. That Wax chat comment about dirty dishes, man I just busted out laughing. Girl as long as you're getting your Wax melted they can talk all they want.
    3. Do you have an iPhone? If so I've some apps you'll LOVE to make your picture brighter before you even load to IG. I think you'll over them actually.

    • @thingsilove8630
      @thingsilove8630  7 лет назад

      I'm so bummed the Scentsy warmer doesn't work for me because I had so many and I love my Mainstays one I just wish there had better designs.
      Girl I just knew someone was thinking it lol I try and just stay out of all the wax drama but I do be reading it lol and yes I film and take my wax pictures with my iPhone! Any tips are always appreciate especially from a PRO!!! Thanks for watching!

  • @MyClothesSmellLikeCandles
    @MyClothesSmellLikeCandles 7 лет назад +2

    Good video! It's so funny because I made one about a week ago like this but just talking about how I change the Wax...the freezer and cotton ball seem to be the most popular. I wondered how you made your great Instagram pics....I love my tealight warmers the best. Just picked up a few of the Michaels hot plate warmers yesterday. Thanks for sharing with us!! 😀

    • @thingsilove8630
      @thingsilove8630  7 лет назад +1

      Oh thank you so much! Yea those are really easy methods to change out the wax I know I would spill all the wax if I hot dumped lol I've heard of Michael's hot plate warmers but only went to check it out once and they didn't have any liked I should go back and take a look thank you so much for watching!

  • @SuperReneeMiller
    @SuperReneeMiller 7 лет назад +1

    Yeah, you have the clean the bottom of your dish every now and then. Its wax build up from not cleaning it. You can wipe it off with a dry towelet when its still warm. I have the same warmer.

  • @lovewaxscent3398
    @lovewaxscent3398 7 лет назад +1

    hi what a brilliant informative video and I love the range of warmers you get there I'm in the UK but what I tend to do is let the wax harden fill sink with cosy water pop dishes in and after few seconds the wax pop's out with my scentsy spatula and wipe with kitchen roll but you've gave me some more idea's and I really think I've been over filling my dishes to look forward to your next video!

  • @rockingscents2951
    @rockingscents2951 7 лет назад +14

    for the harder wax that gives me a hard time. I warm it for like not even 3 min just to soft the bottom and it pops right out.

    • @thingsilove8630
      @thingsilove8630  7 лет назад +3

      I've never heard of that, but that's a great idea thanks for watching!

  • @sarahmorris389
    @sarahmorris389 2 года назад

    FYI it’s not 100% safe to keep a warmer on 24/7. that too can still cause a fire! i keep mine on most of the day IF I’m staying home. if I leave for work I unplug it. Also unplug the water from the wall. saves on the electric bill!

  • @charsscents
    @charsscents 7 лет назад +4

    Video Inspo! Thank you. I can't get with the Mainstays warmer. I used it before I got into vendor wax. So it may work differently with vendor wax. But I felt like the scent burnt out waaaayyyyy too quick. And by quick I mean an hour. Lol.

    • @thingsilove8630
      @thingsilove8630  7 лет назад +2

      Your welcome and your right the scent does burn out fast but it gives me a stronger throw which I prefer so I don't mind it burning out fast plus I have so much wax to melt lol it helps being able to change it out often lol

  • @bellbookcandle3051
    @bellbookcandle3051 7 лет назад +1

    Hi, Not sure if you'll see this, BUT... I've been enjoying your vids, & have gottem some great ideas from them! Just wanted to let you know Yankee has been offering some beautiful tealight warmers on their US website (the UK site always had tons). They're not too expensive, esp if you use one of their frequent sales or online (Retailmenot) coupons. Also some gorgeous ones on Ebay in mosaic or crushed glass; most are from Britain tho, so can be pricey. Lastly, you can also use an empty tealight cup turned upside down to elevate your candle for a stronger throw/better melt. I also use an empty tin from a small travel candle. Never thought of using two, but good to have as another option! Thanks again for the informative content: & have a great Spring & Summer! 🌾☀🌼

    I only have them on when I'm awake. I put them in the freezer to pop the wax out easily. Love my wax cubes.I get gift cards for Christmas and my birthday. Then off I go to Walmart and Ollie's. My son David took me to Walmart few days ago and I bought wax cubes scents I never knew existed. I was worn out but happy.

  • @Raequeenrenee
    @Raequeenrenee 6 лет назад +12

    Do you unplug your warmers when you leave home from the wall or just turn off I just started using just wondering about safety?

    • @thingsilove8630
      @thingsilove8630  6 лет назад +3

      Queen Rae I personally never unplug mine I just turn them off the one in my room stays going 24/7 but it’s all up to you whatever you feel comfortable and safe doing!

    • @Raequeenrenee
      @Raequeenrenee 6 лет назад +1

    the Michaels hot plate warmers do the exact same thing. 2 of my hot plates are peeling it's so frustrating. this is a great informative video. I would have loved for one of these to be around when I first started melting wax.

    • @thingsilove8630
      @thingsilove8630  7 лет назад +1

      I'm glad you found this informative that's what I was going for! I have no idea what causes maybe it just means we use it too much lol

    • @NatalieMarie917
      @NatalieMarie917 4 года назад

      It sounds it’s probably like an issue with overheating and literally melting/breaking down the coating on the surface of the hot plate.
      It may or may not be overheating to a level that’s hazardous, but it’s at least surpassing the melting point of some of its materials

    I use the Scentsy nightlight warmers in my bathrooms too and they are amazing with any wax! I use a scenterpiece warmer in my master bathroom which is pretty big and I get great throw . I use a Scentsy warmer in my bedroom and also one in our open concept office space and I haven't had a problem. ( granted we have only been in our new house since Thursday night) but didn't have a problem with the Scentsy warmers.. really appreciate this video!! I need to buy a mainstay, I hear such great things... love my glade warmer too I only have one and it's the 20 watt in purple unfortunately my top plate broke .... so I've been using a household clear glass little bowl , which looks ugly so I try not to have it out in the open.. lol

    • @thingsilove8630
      @thingsilove8630  7 лет назад +1

      Oh no I would freak if my glade plate broke and I hear from other people that the Scentsy Warmers work great for other people so I guess it just depends and that's great that they work so well for you, yea you should definitely try the Mainstays warmer the perform so well for me and they are so cheap!

    Hello! I’m just finding this video! Thanks for sharing! For wax removal I use SILICONE CUPCAKE LINERS! Just place them directly on the dish and put in your wax! When wax is cooled and hardened it pops right out! No fuss or freezer! This was a game changer for me!!!! Thanks again for the video!!!

  • @katherinethompson6671
    @katherinethompson6671 7 лет назад +1

    Great video, very informative. How often do you change out your wax? Do you change all the warmers at the same time or at random times when they lose scent? I feel like I spend all day going around changing warmers haha.

    • @thingsilove8630
      @thingsilove8630  7 лет назад +1

      I LOVE changing my warmers and I do both either when the tea lights go out, if it loses scent, and if it's a scent I don't end up liking I will change the wax, I'm glad you found the video informative that's what I was going for! Thank you so much for watching!
