I know this is old.. but...Wow! Some of you really need your own youtube channel with your over the top expertise. So judgmental. So my take on the Standley videos..wait first let me say I AM A NEWBIE. Been making and trying to perfect for almost 3 years now. Yes it's expensive. Yes it's hard. Yes a TON of fails. I mean anyone who has tried ANYTHING new have all of the above problems. Baking, candles, painting ect.. I mean seriously some of you and your comments are atrocious. You were new once don't forget this. Also it would hurt for you to be encouraging. Would it? Ok back to Standley. I happen to find his videos informative. His reviews on waxes, wicks and so on have lead me to some success in many fails. We all know especially with candle making any new success in many fails is a godsend. It's a pricey craft. So that I appreciate. However we are also grown adults here. Right? RIGHT??? We all know that like life you learn from your own experience. Candles that means testing. If someone would have hopped on YouTube and told me Aztec fragrances was diluted garbage and customer service was compete horse sh** it might have saved me 100s. That's a different rant though. So I appreciate the informative heads up on wicks, wax and fragrances. I appreciate watching how someone else does things and try it myself as WE ALL get stuck in THOSE RUTS. Does it always work for me? No. Have I learned things? Absolutely. I have seen many informative vids on youtube and have learned a great deal. Self teaching can be difficult. So many waxes so many garbage fragrance company's with insane shipping rates. So yea..I lean on folks like Standley to inform me. Not that he's preaching the candle bible. But nevertheless has saved me some time. For those eye rolling, facebook hating on the newbies sit down pah-lease. I applaud anyone who devotes time in something they believe in and make a success of it. Good job Standley and everyone else killing this. If you made your first candle yesterday and you knocked it out of the park and start selling tomorrow. Hey...that is bada***Congratulations!! and good for you. Some OF US. Like many here hating on everyone takes a very long time to get there. So keep it up. Lift others up. And don't listen to the buh hum bugs know it alls jealous little people who would love to make youtube workshop, ebook have their own website money. Oh and if I wasn't so broke from my own candle adventure. I would buy butt loads of standley candles and from my fellow candle makers around. I'm sure they are wonderful ! That is all.
