Moonstar

Faerywren ... I can't tell you how much I appreciate your input Im going to go ahead and order then i also have several FO in my cart as well bonfire bliss - apple pumpkin strudel - rustic lodge - plumbery spice - toasted marshmallow - celtic moon spice - pumpkin bread + butternut pumpkin and a cranberry they all sound really good

Hi there I'm going to be purchasing FO from Rustic Essentials for the first time + noticed they have a tart blend - KY Para Soy . Has anyone used it before for wax melts, if so how did it perform for you or thoughts in general on it . Thanks

I'll be placing my first order with Rustic Essentuals as well, so Im super excited ! Any opinions out there on any any good fall/ holiday FO i test them over the summer since it takes me awhile jfear please let us know after you burn your tester. one question, you mention that you cure your FO blend, do you do that with all blends .... so 2-3 days is sufficient for that ? the Pumpkin bread sounds really good ! Someone noted on here to try the plumberry spice .... sounds really good . I want to try the rustic lodge too

Thanks

thanks Terry

makes sense any winners or losers for that matter ? i love the melts as well !

honestly Belinda , you are the sweetest person its on my list , hows the bonfire or the rustic lodge - have you tried those ?

I do my own as well. But I don't use a box most of the time. I bought 2 huge white marble tiles from home depot and photograph next to my doorwall which has southern exposure. I don't photograph when the sun is streaming due to it causing many shadows. Of course it depends on your esthetic too so marble might not work for you - personally, i like a clean look. I've also purchased white blackout type fabric from joannes + with a coupon is very inexpensive. look thru pinterest + all the other suggestions are awesome

Maryta what does that mean no re melt on your wax ? I'm just curious . jFear i love the chai latte too but didn't get the sugar cookie. candy not sure if you saw but i posted about amaretto tramiso oob it swell really nice + the amaretto really comes thru. Jfear did you find the chai latte smells very similar to CS pumpkin souffle ?

Jfear you have me intrigued with the lollipop - lemon you say ? ill have to try it out . do you use para soy or soy ?

Ive never tried a all coconut oil soap only because Ive heard they are drying but you super fat so maybe thats where the difference is. it says 7.92 almond coconut , may i ask what that means. is it FO ? your soap looks so creamy - thanks so much for sharing

oh geez ... i would of been horrified too lol ! the advise you all have is the best

never heard of them .... you guys know EVERYTHING lol ! thanks !

neither have i, the lady at southwest said she uses the beeswax when using those 2 waxes but only 1 tbls per pound of wax. if you do use it let me know what you think

Old Glory thanks so much for the great advise. I didn't know about burning at 3 hour intervals ... interesting . the premiere wicks id like to order as well and try those out in my 464 wax, i believe i saw that fillmore carries the premiere wicks. The advise you all give is really appreciated - thank you so much

I ordered samples of both 415 + 464 along with sample wicks in varying sizes - cd + cdn wicks from southwest candle supplies the lady there told me to wick up one size when using both of those waxes. but it sounds like you've done that already. I'm just learning these 2 waxes + those particular wicks so hopefully a much more experienced person than i will chime in. another suggestion she did make was to cure at least 1 week + add 1 tbls beeswax or coconut oil pp of wax. I'm going to start with the beeswax first + see what happens . have you ever tried adding either of those 2 before. she said it helps with HT + cure time .

I love making bath fizzies but struggle with getting mine to float + fizz for a long time do you have an iPhone, you'd be amazed the quality of photos they can take. I also use a few different apps VSCO - i use the most. splitpic is another one - font candy + cropic. check them out they're actually a lot of fun

who's SMR ?? ohhh i love geranium. Well, I think Im going to try some blends. I love lime eo + just love eden botanicals lime distilled . they also have a lime essence - from the juice rather than the peel - but thats been out of stock for a long time. They have an orange essence which smells exactly of fresh squeezed juice.

haven't tried ICS raspberry lemonade but I've been happy with all that I've ordered from there, so i'll be sure to try that one next time, thanks ! Siren... Candle Cacooon has a good blueberry as well... look at her serendipity too, I've heard its good but haven't tried it myself.

Wow ! that looks awesome ! Did you have someone make the cart for you .... so nice I really like the lanterns with the star lids too Where do you get the melters to sell, such a great idea ! I love all the bags with the chunk melts too, looks like theres a lot in there, how much are they per bag ? Im super impressed + thanks for motivating me this morning. Its another damp, rainy day day

I remember seeing on here not to long ago about a tea FO. If I remember correctly it was from WSP - twisted iced tea .... then maybe add a blueberry It does sound good , blueberry lemonade

I totally agree

Pink sugar you crack me up

lisa i was thinking about both bonfires - NG + AHRE - how would you best describe them - I'm leaning towards bonfire bliss though. have you tried the rustic lodge from AHRE ? i was thinking about that one too. the tinsel from NG sounds interesting too
