  1. So I ended up getting the folllowing - IMHO OOB

    Morning Glory & Honeysuckle - Nice

    Clean Breeze - Not sure about this one

    Sugar Cookie Brulee - Nice and strong

    Angel Whispering - Light but nice

    Fairy Dust - Does smell like much

    Ice Capade - Nice Peppermint

    Creme Brulee - Will be good in B&B

    Tobacco Caramel - I don't smell the tobacco or the caramel but it is a nice soap scent men - Any other name for this?

    Rockin the Star - Exact same FO I get from Daystar - Nice and strong

    Mango & Mandarins

    Vanilla Champagne - Really Stinks

    Hawaiian Breeze - Reminds me of Origins Ginger

    Wild Musk - Bad

  2. I can assure you that I am extremely careful, I shred everything before putting it in the trash, I have security on my computer, no one has access to my credit card info but me, I don't answer junk e-mail.

    I had to replace this credit card early this year for the same problem, since then I have used it only online at Nashville Wrap, e-Clamshell and SKS because they do not take Paypal.

    I have ordered from Nashville Wrap many times before an never had problems but I just find it funny that I placed an order with them yesterday afternoon and over the night my card was charged 13 times?

  3. Check your credit cards - Just got a phone call from my business credit card company, someone got my number online AGAIN.

    My Paypal account is fine and I only use this credit card online for supplies.

    Yesterday afternoon I made a purchase at Nashville Wraps. It is the only place I have used it recently since I pay everything with Paypal.

  4. So far on my list:

    Sugar Cookie Brulee

    Downy Clean Breeze

    Rocking the Star

    I already have Baby Grace, Best Friends (fruity), Bermuda Triangle, Island Fresh and Satin Sheets

    Their Autumn Wreath is very nice - Only made tarts with it. I have Aspen Winter but I have not use it yet OOB it smells a little weak.

    I think I need an FO intervention.

  5. I never had a problems with The Candlemaker, their oils are very good and strong in wax, they don't work for me in soy. However I no longer order from Creative Illuminations or what they call themselves these days. Their oils used to be very good a few years back but my last order over a year ago took 2 weeks and their oils were weak...and their prices are crazy.

  6. USPS has lost, misplaced, damaged my mail and packages more times then I care to remember. They even returned one of my package to the sender for no good reason. Talking to them gets you nowhere because they never have a clue.

    I also had tracking numbers that did not update until the packages were delivered. I would give it a few more days.

    You have 30 days to file a claim with Paypal.

  7. I don't know if it is a success story but from 2005 to 2007 I did make as much money with my candle business as I would have working outside the home. It was not enough to support myself and my husband's job paid the bills.

    But now in this economy my income has dropped by 2/3. I am glad for those who made it big but I don't think that there are that many in the candle and B&B business.

  8. Lotion candles done right contains very little soy, they are mostly butter and oil, with no color added. You use the same fragrance oil you would use in a body lotion in the % recommended by the manufacturer.

    This type of candle does not burn hot enough to burn a person unless they stick their fingers directly into the flame.

    To give you an example the hot paraffin treatment you get at a spa is much hotter.
