Vanilla butter fudge from AH would work! It's under the KY oils.

It's a Vanilla Bean Noel dupe, I offer it year round

Yes, I had the same problem and stopped ordering that wax. It was very thick and crumbly tarts. Love her oils though!

yeah it's gone and the fake pic she posted was what started it. Apparently her explanation is that her facebook account was hacked and someone else posted the picture. She said the police told her that her account has been watched for some time by who ever hacked it. She must have some seriously dedicated police officers in her town if they come to your house when your facebook account gets hacked!:rolleyes2 And they must be great investigators if they can tell without even taking your computer that it's been "watched". Whatever, everything this lady says is a lie. She's trying to cover her horrible behavior with even more lies. Hopefully no one falls for her sob story excuse.

Happened to run across this thread and I find it very interesting to say the least. Those that read over at the What's in Your Burner? page on facebook will also find it interesting since this person is a moderator of that board. I'm dumbfounded..

I see AAB has been aquired by HSMG. Not sure how that's going to affect AAB insurance? I just got a quote from AAB for the "elite" policy of $1,000,000 which includes coverage at shows for a total of $388. I'm in need of renewing and currently have HSMG. Does anyone have AAB insurance and how good is the policy? Should I just renew with HSMG? Any input is appreciated.

That's a tough one. I for one would be thrilled with the large repeating orders and would probably just continue to work with her on it because I wouldn't be able to turn it down. Could you maybe offer her a small percentage discount like 5% off if she gives you more than 1 week notice? Maybe that would make her get her ducks in a row and give you more time. 1 week or less is such a short time to get things together, I would not be happy she was doing this to me. I would keep trying to get her to give you more notice. Definitely don't ship before she pays even if it won't get there on time, that's her problem. I know she's always paid but there's a first time for everything:)

Most definitely a scam.

CS Mac Apple isn't skin safe. NG's caramel apple is TDF in lotions!

NG has a good dupe.

I've tried KY and candlesource and prefer KY's version. Miami-Erie has amish friendship bread that also smells exactly like zucchini bread. HTH!

NG has a dupe of Sun & Sand and it's fab!

It's probably because of the change in the body safe usage rate for some FO's. I remember Deb talking about that around fall last year. It said safe at 2% so it's probably one that dropped under 1%. If it were me I'd still use it for myself, after testing on a small area first. At least then it won't be a total loss. Far as I know the FO is the same, just the guidelines changed.

Thank you Sharon! Do you use soy?

I went to scope some new scents yesterday and fell in love with this scent! I did a search on FOF and came up with nothing. Anyone know wher I can find a good dupe of Be Thankful?

ECO 14 is too big for a 3" jar. What type of jar are you using?

I sent you a PM.

I see Taylored Concepts has a Butter FO and a Butter Cookie FO, has anyone tried these? I've never ordered from there, are they good oils? How do they do in soy?

Has anyone tried a good true and straight butter scent? I'm looking for one to use as a mixer. Thanks in advance!

In the summer when testing for scent throw I put my candles tester in a room and shut the registers and the door. That way the a/c won't pull the scent away. If you have a window unit you need to move it to a room without a unit and shut the door. When I burn them for myself I can be sitting feet from the candle and smell it faintly but if I go to the back of my house it's very strong. Weird, but it has to be the a/c because it doesn't happen if it's not on.

NG's Lemon bars would be fab in B&B! I have a sample bottle here that I used in the oil burner. NG's Lemon is more of a fresh lemon if that's what you're looking for.

SOS has it and it's a great dupe.

I'd zap the tops with a heat gun to remelt the top layer, that should take care of it. I use 444 and 99% of the time I have to use the heat gun because of craters and such. I don't bother with the box or other cooling interventions anymore, then again I don't color unless it's requested. I will say I have much less problems with craters and tops with wide mouth jars. Soy is never going to look perfect consistently, it's in it's nature to look "natural." Don't let it bother you! I've never had a customer complain that their candle top wasn't smooth after they burned it.

MC's frosted carrot cake is to die for and great hot throw in 444. I've only tried a few from them but they were all good. Christmas Splendor is SUPER strong in soy. Cherry lemonade was good but I think it needed a little extra something, like more cherry scent maybe. Black raspberry & vanilla was medium strength in soy, was hoping it was stronger because it's a relly nice dupe. Great in B&B though! FYI, their body spray base is the best I've found and the one that smells the least like alcohol.

BCN's tomato leaf is awesome in soy! Great scent!
