Hey another great vlog, I was excited you we’re pertinently heading to Hammersmith as that’s where I live. My candle business has taken over the back half of my living room I’m lucky to have a large living room however running out of room very quickly especially during this busy period. You have inspired me as I have also hired my mum twice a week to label and pack whilst I make candles it makes all the difference and she’s really enjoying it. I’m a stockiest in a very busy shop and I have a lot of Christmas markets ahead too. You are a true inspiration, thank you and keep these great vlogs coming. It makes us candle makers feel less alone. 😊
Haha I love Hammersmith I was actually pretty disappointed to not be coming! Ahh I’m so happy you can also hire your mum. Such an exciting season for business! It’s crazy busy this end and my mum can’t extend to 2 days so I’m a little stretched 😂🤦🏼♀️ xx
Another great vlog Jordan. Sorry to hear you are still feeling a bit shitty, hope the steroids kick in and make an improvement. So weird today I was setting up books for supplies and costings and one for ideas and inspiration, then you go and mention it 😬😬 I often have ideas and your right, if you don’t get them out of your head and on paper they fly off out of my head. Plus you can look at them again later and realise maybe they were not such good ideas. Well I do anyway. Look forward to your next vlog 🤗🤗🤗
An ideas book is so important! So funny you thought of it just the same day I mentioned haha! I think as a creative we aaaaall need an inspiration dump sometimes haha! I get too many ideas swirling round up there 😂🤯
Hi Jordan, another great video! Have you thought about moving your studio to your living room? You do so much moving inventory from downstairs to upstairs and vice versa, which I guess is good for staying fit!!! And it might save you having to use your bedroom as well. Just a thought! You're doing a wonderful job! Keep going! Charlene (from emodoré) xoxo
@@charleneblagrove thank you Charlene! Our lounge has no room for anything. I use the spare bedroom for candles and then it just overflows into our bedroom when you see the white table my mum works at. Only way it works in this very small house 😂😂 xx
@@lukewingedgamer1591 I don’t think it’s branded, it’s a random seller on eBay that sells paper tape! To be honest I’ve only just found a decent one - all the branded expensive ones were rubbish! x
Loved the epic timelapses in this vlog! Very motivational ☺️ Really hope this round of steroids is the last and you can kick the allergic reaction for good! x
Ahh so glad you liked the Timelapse’s! It was a little experiment in a slightly new way of vlogging! I liked it better and glad you did too! 😁 Fingers crossed the steroids fix me 😂🤞🤞🤞
Hey just wondering have you come off NOTHS? I noticed it says you had 0 sales and I was thinking of joining but it's a £200 fee + 25% from each sale. Do you think it's worth it?
@@EtcTwilight Hey, definitely a lot over zero sales haha! Maybe 50 sales in 2 years of being on there so removed all my items last month as was just a bit pointless and they take such a huge percentage. I haven’t found it worth it at all, BUT I have a friend who was getting like 60 sales a month on there so I really have no clue what the deal is with them 😂 personally, I don’t think candles are great on there as too many of them. My friend’s business was selling something else x
Sorry your not feeling your best. I can't believe the person who tried to scam you had the audacity to try again. Can I ask what type of thermometer you recommend? Have a good week 😊
@@MsFresh619 I know! I couldn’t believe it! You’d think they would change their details first 😂🤦🏼♀️ I don’t use a thermometer anymore as my wax boiler has a temperature control! But I used to use a laser thermometer I got from Amazon 😁 x
@@xyngchic Unfortunately it’s not the images being taken, they’ve recreated a (rather rubbish) version of my design. Hard to explain without showing it but don’t want to post their name on here. X

Thank you for the cure time bit. I let my candles cure for 5 days at most.
Yes 5 days is definitely enough 😁

Very random one, what brand paper packing tape have you got? I can’t find one that is sustainable but actually sticks 😂 x

@@WILDRACECO Ahh I see, yeah that's what I've found as well. X
@ Just looked up the seller on eBay I use, it’s called PRONTO.DIRECT and I use their ‘brown Kraft paper packing parcel tape’ 😁
@@WILDRACECO Thanks you're the best 🥰
Your candles always look smooth on the top. What kind of wick do you use?
@@lindagower1106 I use TCR wicks but probably more the wax and temperature or pouring that makes them super smooth 😁
Thank you, They always look lovely 😊

Also, try putting a watermark on your product pictures and videos. That will deter theft of your work.
