Before I started making candles my partner was approached by should I say "soy nazi" or the people who try that pyramid scheme to recruit others into there kits. The lady was very nice but the price of the kit...oh my. I knew it was a joke. So when I got home I went online to do my research and found other companies kits for reasonable prices and then got hooked. I do soy just because I prefer it but that doesn't mean that I don't still love any candle that I might pick up, if it smells good and looks pretty I'll buy it. But I have to admit know that I make candles and test everyday, I am buying less candles. Don't worry its just the beginning of the season and don't let one bad show get you down.
