I second Godaddy.com. I've have all my sites hosted here and have been with them for years. I use FrontPage also. It's pretty easy to use and understand.

Peaks smells like the real thing (to me anyway).

Very pretty! I would never think they were vanilla candles!

Country Clothesline from BCS. I can't stand the way it smells!

There's a Yank** fragrance called Mid Summers Night. Maybe they just renamed it.

7 to 1 or 6 to 1

of Cyclo/FO?

I saw some cute sugar cookies with sprinkles and thought about putting the sprinkles on tarts? Can sprinkles (sugar) be used on candles or tarts safely? If not, is there a place to get wax sprinkles?

I add it into the price of the goods. It's more convenient for the customer and for you. They won't have to wait for you to add up the tax. Plus, taxes are really bummers. Nobody wants to pay the taxes, much less wait for you to add them to their bill.

I would not lower my prices, but I would have a sale every now and then. Also, you might want to come up with a catchy special, such as 5 for $10, 3 for $25, etc. That would lower the price some, plus the customer won't expect the lowered price each time. This also gives them a discount on buying in bulk. I'd hate to lower the price, then have to raise it right back up for some reason.

I made tarts with Peak's Fireside a few days ago. Right now, they smell like ashes from a fireplace with something else (I can't tell what). They're really strong. I know they're supposed to smell at least somewhat good. Am I using too much FO? Should I try less? Does anyone have experience with this one. I used 1 oz. FO per pound of soy wax.

Also, I ordered Peak's Spruce Christmas Tree. Anyone know how much FO per pound on this one?

What is the specified pour temperature? Where can I find out more information about this wax? I've been to soycandle.com where I bought it and the Golden Brands site, but I still can't find out how to use it. At what temperature do I add the dye, fragrance oil, and pour it?

I use A Smaller Image. There's a free trial. I believe it's $15 to buy.

Stacien,

I bought some of the GB tart wax that you recommended. This will be my first time making tarts. Do I need to mix the wax with anything (besides fragrance & color) or leave it straight? Also, do I need to use some sort of tart release spray with this?

Does anyone know where to get the small round labels that would fit on the bottom of a perfume bottle? I have two types of bottles: a frosted glass spray and a twisted glass roll-on. Neither of these could have labels on the side. If labels are not available, does anyone know how I could package/label the perfumes?

Congratulations on your new site! Nice looking site with very pretty colors! A little different from what I usually see. I've never heard of Klean or Domaly products, so I wasn't sure what to click on.

Sorry! I just realized that you said "cart," not "card." No, I don't use the PayPal cart. I use the Mals-e cart, with PayPal as a payment option.

Are you talking about the PayPal debit card? If so, yes, I use it and love it! I process all my orders through PayPal and use the debit card to pay bills, buy supplies, etc.

I'm 39 and love patchouli essential oil. I discovered it several months ago. It smells terrible when I first put it on, but after it mellows out a bit, it smells fantastic. I made a 50/50 vanilla patchouli roll-on, and it smells heavenly. It's also an aphrodisiac. I would advise you to put a little on your wrist, wait a while, then smell. I think you'll change your mind.

Does anyone know anything about Mint Meadow? I placed an order on Sunday and have not heard anything about my order. I tried emailing and calling several times (telephone was busy). Are they closed?

The one of the right looks better.

For my 16-year-old, it's Touch and Oxygen.

Wenebara is Latin for Jennifer.

I've got to agree with everyone on this. All of my soaping stuff is separate from my cooking stuff. I don't even use my KA for cooking. It is strictly for soaping. Same with my candle stuff.

PS. At first I laughed at your handle - I thought it said Weineebra. I thought WTH a bra for your weiner!! Now I have heard of everything. Geesh - now I know I need to wear glasses. LOL

Definitely, the second.

I want to make HP soap and would like to know if it's safe to use the crockpot, bowls, and utensils with food after they're used for soap.

I love the picture on the front page. Great looking bath bombs! Also liked the soap and bath bomb pages. I agree with Trish about the white font; it's very hard to read it against the background. Also, I didn't like the text being crossed out on the Specials page. If the special is over, just take it off. It would just make me mad that I missed the sale.
