  1. I guess my lavender/orange/eucalyptus mix will always be my favorite. It fills my home and smells like expensive soap. I can't get enough. 12 years now.
  2. It is so funny. I sell leather like crazy. I am in Texas. I make Cowboy Vanilla, with it, Strawberry Leather and can't keep them in candles or tarts. Another one I see is Love Spell. I sell a lot of that one too. How strange. What doesn't sell for me is the aroma therapy type smells that I love so much. Grapefruit alone doesn't sell, but grapefruit vanilla does. I love good apple pie and can't sell it. Others that don't sell thru the years are ocean, cozy home, cranberry marmalade, pumpkin souffle, citrus basil, lemon, orange clove, the list goes on. I bet I went thru a 1,000 of them. But these are ones that sell for others. It surprised me. Every place is different.
  3. I have been adding to mine for a few days. I leave it up there and dont click it off. After 50.00 worth of samples, I accidentally clicked it off. I was so mad. I had to redo it. But it is ready. Tomorrow is pay day for me. I love getting the samples.
  4. I think I would take in a few of your best, in your black tie. Sometimes they want something a little different. I think they would be cute in there. I always leave them one to burn. I would not bring up a new label, but if they say that is what they want, then explain that you would love to create a label that would work in there store. Tell them you wanting to try a brown kraft label and I bet it would be really cool in here. About solicitor signs, bring your product in and if they say anything, tell them you are not selling, you are promoting your business and would like to show them what you make. They will almost always ask to see what you have. If they decided they want to buy something. Hesitate for a minute and say......well, I guess I could sell you a few. Ok, I will let you. It works. If they are rude at the door, tell them you are sorry, let me get out of your way. I hate solicitors too. I said that a few times and they ask me to come back in.
  5. I don't worry about getting my fragrances in my home state. Sometimes they get here faster from out of state and the shipping varies. Some do not charge tax when out of state. There are so many good companies. I just couldn't stick with home town. What you do need local is your jar and wax supplier. If possible close enough to pick up. That is where the shipping is high. You can also find jelly jars at the local stores too.
  6. It may be the Island one I use from them. I get the original from MCs, and it is a top seller for me. Just saw this, sorry.
  7. I love NGs Vanilla Pear and it is a good seller. Have you tried their's? Just wonderin how close it is to NGs.
  8. For my own aches, I look for anthing with 10% menthol. It will kill the pain, and then you can add other stuff to it. Stop Pain in the health food store is 10%. Good stuff.
  9. I got some on me and some how licked it and it had red hots in it. Lone Star. I think they may all be that way, if you are brave enough to lick it. hahaha I like Peaks for soy.
  10. When I was a kid, I watched a young lady that was getting ready for her wedding. She didn't take the card board off the tampax, just inserted the whole thing. I found it in the trash. I knew she was acting uncomfortable when she was sitting on the couch. Kids are curious. I know I was. Also, I want a huge bright orange sign on the top of my jar candle that says, IF YOU DO NOT READ THE WARNING, THIS CANDLE WILL BLOW UP. Wonder if they would read it then. hahahahaaha
  11. I think it is so, if their kid plays with the toaster and puts the whole thing in there, they can not sue you.
  12. Starrville has a really good citrusy smelling magnolia. Very strong in soy, not overpowering, great seller.
  13. I just checked. He said is would be under onlyfragrancellc. It doesn't come up for me. Maybe I did it wrong. Or he is not up and running yet. I wonder why he can't have an on line store, but he can be on ebay? Just thinkin!
  14. Now, I got to try these. I make money, but don't have any left. I spend it all on oils. But I got a lot of oils. It is an addiction. If the house burns down, I got to get the dogs, the oils, and then make sure hubby got out. hahahaha Not really.......
  15. I use a lot of NGs that are not weak. Check the reviews. So far I haven't found any company that doesn't have something that is weak. It is what you order. I got the Celestial on the rose. I like it. It seems like it might be weak, but maybe there wasn't much on the rose. I may get a sample. It is a pretty scent.
