Ahhhh that’s a different story then 

being me I would of done the same thing then 😉

If she stays pissy with you then that’s her problem imo - your entitled to stand up for what you will support and you can simply point out you were not trying to be rude just concerned for them if something were to happen and they get sued  

I really did try to be nice about it, I even offered my time and supplies to help her.  Oh well...I tried at least.  

Sorry, I should have stated.  They are regular pillars with craft butterflies and flowers and whatnot put into the wax.  I did ask about them being hurricane pillars before I said anything.  

So, a friend asked me to like her family's new Facebook page for their crafts.  After looking at it, I told her "I'm sorry, I just can't support someone making unsafe candles" I then continued to offer to help teach her safe ways to make beautiful candles.  She replied all snippy saying that is the way her mom has made candles for decades.  Was I wrong?  I will try to attach a pic of the candles.

There are so many candles out there that are "made with love"- at this point someone could really set themselves apart by using the tagline "poured with indifference"  😏

Or "made with hatred...a gift for your wife when she's been a b!tch" lol!

Yes!  So great to relax while watching a fire take over your home...

I would never make candles with any herbs or flowers in them.  The dried foliage would catch fire too easily.  

Nature's Items has this!  I just received a free sample of it today with my order and it really is "divine"!

Had anyone going a good smores yet?  I have tried a couple from different places, but haven't really looked them.  I see nature's items had smores, but would like to know what people think of it.  

TIA

That has got to be difficult.  I would just educate her as much as you can, and keep reminding her how expressive it is to do it properly and safely.  Good luck!!

So I honestly never thought about this!  I keep my house between 69-71 though year round.  

Oh Lord!!  Test! Test!! Test!!!  I hate it when people think this is a cheap and easy "business". It makes us that make them properly look bad...

Never heard of them, my concern would be if they will survive the first couple of years.  Website says 2018

They have actually been in business since last year sometime.  I discovered them shortly after they started.  I have been in love since.  They have great customer service, fast shipping (and only $5 flat rate no matter how much you order), and the oils are great.
