  1. Welcome to the board! When I started, I tested alot of different waxes, wicks, jars etc. until I found the perfect combo for me. I currently use soy and yes the tops of soy candles are not smooth but, this can be corrected with a heat gun. Personally, I prefer soy because there are no wet spots but, you may have some rough tops and maybe some white spots. It's just the nature of soy. I have found that it sometimes depends on the scent you are using also. I did have problems with scent throw at first but, through testing I now have a great hot and cold scent throw. Everyone on this board is very helpful and I have learned SOOOOOOOO much in the year that I have been a member.

    Good luck with your new business, keep us posted.:smiley2:

  2. I would be excited for $100 sale. About 2 weeks ago I was excited about a $50 sale. I have only been selling a short time too. Just to friends and then the people that they recommend my candles to. I just had a $120.00 sale and was rejoicing. At first things were super slow but now I am having trouble keeping up. You see how the $$ amounts have been increasing. I am sure they will for you too.

    Do you have any friends that have pampered schef or the adult toy parties or even Mary Kay facial parties? I would suggest going to some of those and then making mention that you do home candle parties. Explain that it is something similar to what they are doing at this party only with candles that you personally hand make. That might been an avenue that works for you. Make up some hand outs or business cards (if you don't already have them)and maybe take a sample candle for the hostess of the party that you are at. Just a sugestion.

    Smile! it is all about growing!

    I agree, I have a friend that had a jewelry party not too long ago and I took a few candles with me to her party. I sold a few and one woman is interested in having a candle party. Keep you head up!! Like everyone else has said our busy season is coming.:smiley2:
