    Everything was going so well but for some reason I didn’t read the bottle 🤦🏻‍♀️. “Why won’t it reads?”

    I only make candles for my personal use (not a business) but 16/17 are some of my absolute favorites. They are expensive but they’re very strong. In many I’ll only use 5-6%. Florencia is so divine.

    Oh those multiply gremlins!!! 🤪

    I could see that happening very quickly. Luckily (or maybe not) I’m relegated to only so much space in our garage and I was reminded of the one in, one out rule. I also might be encroaching a little on the brewing equipment. Starting with a one pound batch and at most up to 3 also due to space once the soap is made. Plus it’s just for us. Lol 😉

    I’m not sure who made the comment to me a year or so ago when I ventured from candles to M&P, “at some point you’ll want to try CP.” We’ll you were right. I’m getting ready to make my first batch in the next few weeks. When I saw Bramble Berry had premixed oils, I thought that’s an easy way to put my toe in the water before I really dive into this. Also it’s just for my own personal use. I’m kind of excited. Wish me luck!

    Omg... I’m not the only one! This isn’t from a business perspective but just always the way I’ve felt. I’m like yea that looks pretty in a display on a shelf but what a disaster for my drains!! Lavender, coffee beans citrus peels, rose petals don’t just dissolve when water hits them. I’ve never understood the allure. I’ve always found it really gross.

    Bummer.

    I think it’s from 16/17 https://sixteenseventeen.com/collections/west-coast-collection-1/products/frosted-violet-case-of-6 they have gorgeous vessels and great customer service.
  9. Kris10Tackles
    I thought the exact same thing.

    🙋🏻‍♀️ I’m the person who would buy a $30-$40 8oz candle over anything from BBW because I’d rather have one amazing and unique candle than anything from BBW.
  11. Kris10Tackles
    Absolutely! But for now I’m just admiring from afar.

    I just ordered a sample of their F&M, it’s really interesting how we pick up different notes. Ootb and on a test strip I smell the amber and oud. I haven’t made it into a candle yet. I also don’t think I’ve ever smelled F&M so I had no idea what to expect.

    I don’t know how it even happened but I couldn’t stop watching this companies soap making videos. Not necessarily a how to just gorgeous process videos and what look like little bars of art. If I ever get past melt and pour... this the kind of soap I would want to create. www.Instagram.com/sogeumsoap

    😍😍😍 it looks like their selection of styles is similar to dream vessels and 16/17. Plus much much more. Complete eye candy.

    Just clarifying - ordering from Candle Science? Yes super simple since they have warehouses in both GA and NV. I’m in Ca orders that come from NV arrive in a day or two, orders from the GA warehouse usually 2-4. I’ve also ordered from 16/17 - their orders ship really fast. They also arrive quickly for me because I’m only about an hour and half south of them. I’ve ordered a few of their vessels. Excellent quality and perfectly packaged. Each came in its own box with a styrofoam protective shell.

    This is why I ask the professionals.

    I have no experience burning nail polish but even if doesn’t catch on fire would it emit some type of something as it burned? My intelligence is really shining through 🤦🏻‍♀️😆

    The wick holders look similar to ones I found on the Dzign Haus website. The photo is from16/17 but dzign haus has them on their website, I with a variety of jar options from various suppliers.

    I ran across this. Not sure how it found me but it did and made me go 🤔. I know I’m new to candle making but, is this a good idea?
  20. Kris10Tackles
    They were Rachel Roy tumblers but they look exactly the same as the glass from Luxury Candle Supply.
  21. Kris10Tackles
    Same 🙋🏻‍♀️
  22. Kris10Tackles
    Is that really just salt, fragrance, and coloring?
  23. Kris10Tackles
    I will put it on my list to try down the line. Not ready for full on soap making just yet.
  24. Kris10Tackles
    @Laura C thank you! ☺️

    Right now I’m playing with Ceda-Serica. Because it came in a set of two I’m trying one with two small wicks CDN 2 and one with CDN 6. In my very limited experience, I’ve liked using two wicks on 3 inch diameter vessels because so far I get a nice sized flame (no soot or carbon build up), vessels have been staying relatively cool, great HT with a lower FO percentage (4-5% for this one), and still achieving full melt pool in the second half burn. Since these tumblers came in a set of two, I’m also trying out one with a single CDN 6, just to see... because why not!
