    Cracklin' Birch is one of my best sellers, which surprised me.

    Really nice!

    Welcome! Candle making definitely has a learning curve. But as long as you’re willing to do the work, it can be rewarding. Tons of info here to help you.

    I really loved Southern Garden Scents! I had no idea they were now Pure Fragrance oils! I have looked at their oils before because they had MW dupes, but have never bought anything. *Off to take another look*

    I just saw the big header “Sweet Strawberry”. I see now it’s Flaming.

    I agree with @MilosCandles. Every email like this I’ve received has been suspect. I don’t have a website anymore, but when I did, it was very “small potatoes”, the idea that some store in Asia wanted to carry my items set off alarm bells big time. Emails like this (which I still receive from time to time without an internet presence) go straight in the trash.

    What supplier?

    You would do a blend of container soy and pillar soy.

    I love Safiya's videos. Have y'all seen the one where she melted down one of all the lipsticks that Sephora had? I'm not a huge fan of YouTube personalities, but if I had to watch one, it would be her.

    Welcome! There is a wealth of information here and lots of helpful folks.

    Yep, those are the ones. I have round and elliptical in varying ounces, so I can make different shapes and sizes.

    When I packaged my bars in tins I've set them on wax paper before. Now I pour directly into souffle cups. Voila! Molds and packaging in one.

    You could also use a "low sweat" M&P base. That's what I switched to. I didn't like using the plastic wrap or shrink wrap or bags either. The low sweat bases work really well and I can package in a box or with a band.

    If I don't like something on its own, I may be able to use it in a "limited time" blend. If it's just a straight up dud, it gets pitched. I don't want to keep moving it around or forgetting that it sucked, so I just get rid of it.

    Is FC Flaming?

    Artfire. Wow, I didn't realize that was still a thing. I wonder if my store is still there after sitting idle for 13 years? 😂

    I like the idea of a drop down menu for scents, but I'd like the scents separated by category. I don't want to scroll through evvvveeeerrryyy scent when I know I want something bakery or masculine etc.

    I know people sell panties they've worn online. The take a picture of them wearing the panties and then state how many hours they were worn. People are paying big bucks.

    Straight FO will smoke and get gummy in a warmer. The FOs are mixed with DPG to prevent that.

    Mediterranean Fig from CandleScience is nice. Fig Leaf and Cassis from WSP was a big seller for me (men really liked it), but now they only offer it special order of 25lbs. 😞

    Pardon my ignorance, but why is there a beer graphic on your candle banner?
  22. Faerywren
    That KY133 is amazing! It was my favorite for many years until I started blending my own.
  23. Faerywren
    I order from them. They are about an hour and a half drive, so I just go pick my orders up. My biggest sellers from them are Spa Day, Lux Linen and Tangerine Dreams. I have others of theirs (Coffee Shop, Driftwood, Barnwood and Burlap), but use them as mixers in blends, so don't know how they stand alone.

    I totally got the seaweed. Looks great!

    @Marleigha I finally got around to smelling my Pumpkin Spiced Cheesecake FO and it isn't really creamy at all. I get a lot of graham cracker crust and spices when I sniff it!
