Hi Jami,

This Tahitian Vanilla Spice is one of my very favorite scent and top seller.

Yes I have had experienced seeping oil out of it. Come to find that i needed to pour the oil into hotter wax than normal and stir longer to incorporate it fully.

I used 100% bluegrass soy. Now I use 50/50 blend. Do not give up on this.

it's absolutely one of the strongest best vanilla spice I ever tried and I love it!!! Give it a try in hotter wax and stir longer, You'll love the result

HTH

OBN = Oils By Nature http://www.oilsbynature.com

Thank you very much!!!

Dani

Who's OBN???

I'm learning, totally learning lol

Dani

Oh Yes I do have minimums.

For sample, my jumbo tarts are 2.5oz and I make lb of scented wax

So I make it a minimum of 8 per scent for my wholesale customers.

Same thing with candles...I would say minimum of whatever it takes for you to make with lb of scent, that is if that's the way you make your candles.

Just don't let them order just 1 or 2 just to use your discount.

HTH

Dani

I Just got my first batch of oils from JS and most of them smell amazing, but the Lemon Peel smells just like floor cleaner.

I'm so bummed.

Anyone test this scent? Does it miracuoulsy change in wax to an amazing fresh grated lemon skin scent?

Maybe I just need to make a candle called "Mop & Glow" :rolleyes2

Ahh well.

xoxo

LOL MOP N GLOW...

but hey, people will buy it, just to proved they cleaned their house.

I never tried it. Hopefully someone will chime in and let ya know if it changes in wax.

Dani

Yup found that out when I sent pink sugar soap to Australia and by the time she got it, it was browner than BROWN!! LOL

Dani

Those are really cute and a neat idea for packaging...have you tried shipping them to see if they crumble or break?

we'll find out when it goes to Canada for Spring swap and comes back to the participates. Think that's a good idea for test of travels?? lol

Here's to finger crossings

Dani

I like that pink!

Funny, of all the scrubs I've done (they are my best sellers), I've never done pink sugar crystals yet!

Did you buy those like that or color them yourself?

So, how do you like the FBB? I've heard it's drying unless you add goodies to it?

I brought my pink sugar crystals from this cookie candy mold site.

that's where I got my sprinkles stuff like mickey mouse, hearts, leaves, flower cupcake sprinkles for my bath bombs and found the sugar crystals in many different colors.

I love love the FBB!! it's not drying at all. I added goodies to it and tested it out few times and other tested it to and it's FABULOUS! LOL

Thanks ya'll for sweet comments!!

Dani

After trying to figure these babies out. I finially got it. lol

here's my frosted pink cupcake FBB with pink sugar sprinkles.

What ya think. Fragrance is from Old Mill Fragrance. So yummy!!

Dani

Bummer on that situation. BUT I gotta tell you that Just Scents has the best Santa's treat I think it's called. Very strong sugar cookies scent. I love it.

It may be more better than what you had before.

HTH

Dani

love the 2nd one...

1st one is to brown...

maybe change it to beige for first one and see how that work.

but definitely the 2nd one!! very appealing

Dani

Neat idea, I'd buy them.

Sally.

buy away!! hehehe

This am, My daughter asked what's up with the marshmallows...lol

while it was setting, it did look like puff up marshmallows put together..lol

I had fun with it. I love creating and being different.

now wait til you see my new next project. hehe will post it tonite.

Dani

It's gonna be called

Break away Bath bombs, Take me away!!! lol

thanks girls for lovely comments!

Dani

Thats looks really cute! and different! Are the Mickeys and stuff in the actual bath bomb or just in the packaging?

it's in the bombs

I have crayons, maple leaves, dog bones, mickey mouse, joker spade, flowers, hearts....oh it was fun fun to do!! and I'm sooo please with the results to.

Dani

here's my latest creative creations. After many tweaking and errors. I finally got it perfect!!!!

Bath bombs....scented in Buttermilk and honey from Daystar

the mickey mouse and hearts sprinkles are on top.

Dani

Looks GREAT!!

I've never used these product, does it stay inside the tea bags good, or is it a fine powder that seeps out a little??

nope, they stay in teabag and dissolves once they're in water, leaving you with silky soft skin after bath.

discard the teabag after use.

Dani

Thanks for the link, Dani. I remember reading that thread and getting a good laugh. Do you still have the pen?

Ok, you put the teabag in the bath. Is it similar to a milk bath and softens the water? I can't really see your label clearly. Do you scent it?

Yes you drop one tea bag into the tub.

soften your skin. I know picture looks crappy but will redo it tomorrow when it's light

i scented it with Daystar black vetyer cafe...love that scent!!

comes with 3 pack to the bag. enuf for 3 bathes.

I still have my pen!! u betcha!!

Dani

Your packaging looks great. I've only done a small amount of reading on natrasorb and am interested in it. Where did you buy yours? I take it that a little goes a long way. Was 5 lbs. the minimum?

oh girl, you got to read this post.....

http://www.candletech.com/forums/showthread.php?t=44975&highlight=natrosorb+bath

it'll tell u all about it...lol and no 5lb is not minimum, honestly I did not know it would be that huge and so much!!!!!! lol but i got plenty!!!

that's where I got it from Texas Natural supply I think and order from there

u get a free pen... they're fast and reasonable.

Dani

IT's Beautiful i so proud now i just have to play with what you sent me. i'm telling you it looks like ihave two HUGE bags of cocaine on my work table

:laugh2: yeah when I got this delivered to me, My boys asked if they could "flip" it...*selling it on the street* they said I'd have about millions dollars worth...lol :laugh2:

but let me tell you, it's super easy to do and little bit do go a long way.

I made 20 teabags with 2 cups. i have what 200 cups left...lol

Dani

Ok here if you remember my 5lbs of natrasorb bath powder I had.

I finally got down to making dry bath powder I wanted to make and wowsa!!

I love it. It smells FABULOUS!! and leaves your skin feeling silky soft afterward.

What ya think?

They're put in teabags so you would just drop one in the tub.

BTW this is my first BB picture

Dani

Well I use 50/50 tart/pillar wax, so I really don't need alot to get a good throw with them. It may be different with candles batches and what not, due to burn, throws and etc.

So I can say i'm pretty lucky with this. As for bath and body stuff. For what I do and make don't take alot either.

So Maybe I'm wrong in other areas as to pricey oils in certain products.

I only carry Fragrance oil heaven and Daystar oils. They both can be pricey but I love unique scents. oh and now i'm adding fragrance by design as soon as I get my pre buy oils and If i love it, I will be carrying those oils to.

Dani

Getting a bit pricey for me. :undecided

aww it's not so bad....

cause you really don't need full amount to lb of wax.

I find it perfect throw and all with recommendation posted on their site.

if they say that it does wonder at 1oz or less. it's true. so really it's almost like getting 2lb for price of 1lb elsewhere..

Dani

Just want to say thanks to Dani and Missy for letting me know there was a shopping cart issue. I finally got it resolved.

Denise

:yay: Can't wait for these Denise!!

Glad you got it fix.

oh and WELCOME to our nutty world here...haha

Dani

I use Avery Design Pro and Paint Shop Pro. I design my labels in PSP and then paste the finished label into the template in Avery for printing.

DITTO!! It can be pita, but with patiences you will master it...if all don't pan out...you can always come to me. as I print labels for business.

Dani

Go to FOH's website and it's listed under her Pink Sugar oil. I know you have to go to Pre-buys.com to order but I couldn't set up an account for some reason. What does the Light Blue smell like?

Missy, did you have a problem ordering there, something to do with country??

I kept putting United State and it would keep bouncing back on me. GRRR

I ended up emailing her with my choices and pp addy.

I wonder what light blue smells like??
