Aztec has 4 new fragrances, they are offering free 1 oz when you purchase. I just used the September 5/$5 code: 92021 and got 9 1 oz fo's for $5 plus shipping

Higher rates and slower delivery time. Oh goody. Looking forward to pirate ship's new carrier news!

20% off all FALL fo's until 8/27

My candle room is my happy place! It is the only room in the house that is MINE. No one else goes in there, so when I put something away, it stays in that place. I know where everything is! I did purge a lot of stuff during lockdown. Sold it all on destash groups. If you are purging, please consider listing stuff here...one chandlers junk is another chandlers treasure

I just had a thought, what if I tried it with orange flavored gelatin and added more orange FO? Would the sugar in the flavored gelatin make it not work? I just may try this.

10% off FO's with code: NGLOVE

The ones I've tried are pretty strong. They even hold up in CP soap. FB is pretty new to me tho, others might have a more detailed experience with them.

Thanks! Please keep me posted if you hear of one.

@Belinda Any word on a sale from Fragrance buddy?

I love blending! A surprisingly good blend is lavender/pumpkin. I do a 50/50 with straight lavender and pumpkin pie spice. If you have a less spicy pumpkin I think it it would be even better. This would be a good transition from summer to fall scent since it has a bit of both. Another blend I do is apple fritter: CS mac apple and cinnamon buns 50/50. (you might try apple spice and cin sugared donuts to see if you like it) Another blend you can try is orange/gingerbread. For straight up no blending, I LOVE pumpkin cupcake from FB. Hillbilly homebrew with pumpkin spice sounds good! Let me know if you like it.

It is very refreshing! Fragrance Buddy is the supplier. They are fairly new to me, but I really like so far.

Wax: 464 Container: 4 oz tin Wick: htp Loading: 6.25% Cure time: 1-2 weeks Cold Throw: Very good (9/10) Hot Throw: Very good (9/10) Comments: I can't keep this one in stock. Lotions and candles fly off the shelf! Cp soap behaves beautifully, scent still there after 4 weeks.

Raised my prices this year. No one has balked. I used to sell my 4 oz tins for $6 each. Raised to $7 or 3/$20. Same with my 4 oz bars of soap. I let them mix and match the bundle (soap and /or candle) This actually helped my sales, I am selling more bundles now.

the unrefined has a strong smell that might interfere with your perfume

Fragrance buddy is having one now 25% off with code USA25

I've never lowered it, but I remember when CS said to raise temp to 190 for their very vanilla. It did help to incorporate that particular fo. I don't know if lower temp will help with throw, but couldn't hurt to try. Please let us know if it works.

I had used weebly for years. Just got a notice that square has taken over. Glad to hear that they are good. Now, if I can just figure out how to use it.

nag champa, absinthe, orange clove, capri olivio (could not find a wick for this one, but great in melts), cappuccino, cracklin birch. So many more. I love NG!

I have found that anything chocolate scented, has an after scent, that is reminiscent of butt juice. My friend and I were trying different blending ideas once. Put chocolate and patchouli together on qtips...was SOOOO gross. We saved it for our "hippy" friend. She loved it! We still laugh about that cuz we both thought it smelled like "hippy butt". Needless to say it never went in wax

Yes. That is how I do it. Just add more wax as needed. Occasionally when the wax gets low I use it up and wipe out the presto.

So basically, when we buy a batch of wax, we end up having to use half of it in re-testing. Then when we've made a usable product, we've run out of wax from that batch....and have to start all over....

yes I do and it does. Gives you several options for lower rates for USPS.

That IS a beautiful thought, better than my initial "ICK" thought. Glad you made it clear about the bags

I could not have stayed in business for the past 10 years without the help and knowledge of the makers in this forum. I've learned so much, and never felt like anyone was being judgemental.
