  1. Awwww....thank you so much for the offer, but I already ordered a slab of 4636 a few months back. After my experience, I'd be a little leary of those that Aztec has renumbered as their own. I don't know what they're doing. I don't know if they're manufacturing their own and selling as both? It's only a handful of the soft paraffins they do that with. I had ordered some 4633 from them and received one with their number on it. It was more like the consistency of 4630. I couldn't use it for my blend, but I found other personal uses for it. Thanks again for the offer! It's truly appreciated! ❤️
  2. Thank you so much! I couldn't have done it right without all the help from this forum! Love you all! ❤️
  3. Hey everyone! I finally pulled the trigger on my Etsy shop for wax melts last week. I just put up new listing and need to add more pics, but anyway.... I hope eventually something happens! I know it can take a while for organic sales thru search but I'm getting antsy lol. I've received 7 orders so far - all people I know. I'm just enjoying the fact that I got my wax blend figured out and 20 scents passed my strict standards for my lineup. Can I post a link or are we not suppose to? Idk I can't remember... Been trolling Reddit and Facebook waaayyyy too much 😂
  4. Thank you! I've worked on my blend for a year and a half. I hate to know I'd have to start over, but I might have to.
  5. Have you noticed a difference in the consistency of 4786 lately? The last few slabs I bought from Lone Star has been a little softer than it used to be. I can now stab it with a butter knife and wiggle it back and forth to cut it. Used to be it was too hard to cut but not hard enough to bust up with a hammer - I'd have to freeze it for a while. I had the perfect formula for my melts, but now the longevity is suffering.
  6. Are there any resident Sandalwood scent "gurus" out there? When I started this venture a year and a half ago, I thought I knew what Sandalwood smells like. I remembered the scent from a long time ago, and I loved it. Fast-forward to now, and I can't help but think maybe I was mistaken because every single sample I've ordered and tried has been different. I'm looking for 2 or 3 people who know the sandalwood scent very well and would be willing to receive and test some samples of the different ones I have and tell me which one(s) are closest to being the real Sandalwood fragrance. This would be in the form of wax melts. You wouldn't have to test for any certain length of time or anything, just melt each one long enough to get a good sense of smell for each one and rate them anywhere from "Closest to being the real deal" to "You call this Sandalwood?!?!!" If you would be interested in helping me out with this, I would truly appreciate it. All I would need is your name and address. Please inbox me if you're willing to help me out or if you have any questions! Thanks so much!!❤️ Annette
  7. Pure Fragrance Oils has an awesome Lavender! It definitely doesn't have that strong chemical cleaner smell that some have.
  8. Yesss!!!! Camilla called Tuesday and left me a message telling me they finally got the few in I've been waiting on. I just got off the phone with her because when I saw your comment it reminded me that I needed to ask her something. She also told me they're getting ready to put up a few fall fragrances too. They might be up by the weekend or the beginning of the week. I've been on the edge of my seat the past few months waiting to see if they were going to be able to settle the pricing conflict with their manufacturer. I haven't even tested Witches Brew yet, but there's 3 others from the Moonworks Collection that ended up being love at first test! I didn't want to be without. All this testing for the past year and a half has made me VERY picky about what I'm going to carry in my line.
  9. Thank you! 🥰 I've waited so long for this, so seeing it finally coming together is an amazing feeling!
  10. Anytime! I think we can all use a boost now and then! Sounds like the season is coming where you'll be getting your natural boost of motivation! I live the fall and Christmas time of the year, no matter if I need the motivation or not - it's just a natural high for me! I wanted so badly to be up and running in time to do my fall leaf melts, but I guess that'll just wait until next year. I'm planning on having some type of little curated package for every time of the year and most holidays. I don't plan on doing each for long periods of time, so it would be more of a "limited edition" type of thing.
  11. Hi all you lovely soapers! Do any of you use a stamp on your soaps? If so, have you ever tried ordering a handmade one from someone on Etsy? Or did you just order from somewhere such as Vistaprint? Would you recommend getting acrylic or brass? I'm wanting to get a stamp of my logo pic to use on certain styles of my wax melts. I'd love to have it done by a small business, so I wanted to see if anyone here has someone they'd recommend. Thanks a bunch! Annette
  12. I think once you just say "I'm doing this!" it'll bring back the motivation. I noticed in these last 3-4 months, my motivation has waivered a couple of times - once was really drastically, but a lot of that had to do with stress and feeling hopeless that I would never get it together and get things going as I had planned. I finally kicked myself in my own ass so to speak, and shook it off. That got me back on track quickly, and I vowed never to let myself get that low again because if I allow it to get the best of me again I will fail and so will my business. Yes, I did get that low just recently. It was almost as if the devil was trying his best to make me fail and I almost let him win. Never again!!!🔥 I do believe you can be fully motivated again. Having a little support group, such as this forum, can help tremendously! 🥰
  13. Thank you! I do feel like I'm in a good place mentally right now, and I'm ready for the challenge! 😃
