  1. Ok so this may sound strange, my 1 year old this morning starting whining and getting a really weird red rash all over his face and body. It looked as though he was smacked in a bunch of spots. Just before that I popped in a Spiced Orange scent shot which FILLED the air, it was in the room next to where he was. I took him upstairs to his bedroom and his skin cleared up - took him back downstairs and the spots came back after about 15 minutes. Is it possible to have an allergic reaction like to a FO like this. There is no EO in it. And if so what does this mean then? that he has an allergy to citrus?? Any input would be appreciated thanks!

  2. LOL Tell me about it!!! We started ripping down framing and old wooden panels they had put up only to reveal an old billco door entrance that was loaded with construction debris and a 250 gallon oil tank. There was old plastic TAB soda bottles in there and milk cartons with missing kids on them so how far back does that date it?? We had no idea there was an entrance there to the outside because they built a porch over the outside entrance.. The house was built in 1851 so it's got all kinds of fun things we are finding :)

  3. Yea she has a group page on Facebook that you need to join and then you email her the order when she announces a restock. That's how I just got my order :) a few days ago. Her tarts are very strong right off the bat, however I had Graveyard Pumpkin in my hot plate melter and it literally only lasted one day. It was 2 cubes. Filled the whole house for about 2 hours and then slowly faded to nothing. That to me isn't nearly long enough.

  4. not really. go to usps and order a bunch of the flat rate padded envelopes and boxes - all sizes they are free and they come directly to your house. I actually managed to get two 8 oz. JJ in a padded envelope LOL!! hey I offer free shipping right now and that was the cheapest route.

  5. I too have been in business since 2003 so I'm right there with you. As I said someone did this very same thing to me, and there was nothing I could do BECAUSE it was label design. I looked into it. I had to re-do everything. Extremely upsetting and I totally understand your frustration believe me. I actually had someone just this past Saturday snap a quick pic with their cell phone of one of my jars at a show and then take off. Like a close up of the label. My mom asked the girl if she was taking a picture cause she had her phone down real low on the table, she replied yes my mom asked why? she said to send to her friend, and then left. Unless you want to keep your product hidden in closet somewhere and not make any money, it's kinda hard to prevent someone from copying something of yours. I keep telling myself even though they copy it, they don't copy the recipe, what's on the inside of the jar or tube, that's what counts in the end.

  6. I would be upset too. To take it to the legal level though I think is a little much. I could see maybe if she didn't remove the said items then I would pursue something. but she took everything down and owned up to it. I would just keep an eye on everything, it could happen again (once a cheater always a cheater) and do the watermark thing!!! That is a must! Open all your photos in Paint and slap a text box on that sucker somewhere with your business name so its clearly visible and CANT be cropped out!! Who knows your pics could be elsewhere too. It happens ALL THE TIME! It happened to me too.

  7. You should really figure out what your cost is per melt and then do x3 for retail. If you go by what other people charge you may not be making any type of profit since others use different waxes etc with different costs. JMO
