I believe they were like 15 bucks and they were 5 shelves. Made of plastic. I took the bottom part off and just took a piece of PVC pipe cut it for the legs and made another level. On the bottom I just slide my fo boxes underneath. I still have them and use them😂 That is a great idea. I have 12 bookshelves right now and it is not enough. Need more money to get more. It's crazy. 1 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is 1 reason why I call myself stocking my candles and such before I announce that I'm back. My candles sold like crazy b4 and i know my back and neck issues will not allow me to meet that demand. I will start all my new scents that I just got in today tomorrow hopefully. Lol. All my things are ready to go. I just have to pour. I have a customer that wants to help me but I refused because I probably would only get help a few weeks and they would be in production lol I was hoping that my 1 niece would come live with me and I could teach her. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I pray on what to buy and since it's a great deal I wouldn't be losing much money if I lost a few bottles. I have a bad knee and 2 bad feet from a fall 3 years ago. Every day hurts but I'm trying to keep trying. Some days are better than others. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I struggle daily with neck & back pain. I have spinal stenosis & believe me it's horrible ,pinching nerves & muscle spasms . I do have good days & bad kwim.

I will pray you find these deals too. You do have to look every day and set notifications for your phone. Check every time something is posted and respond immediately. I don't get them all. Some people get them before me but I want others to get some too. The Lord has way more than enough for everyone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ScentedPleasurez Posted October 31, 2018 Author Share Posted October 31, 2018 I guess I think a bit differently. Getting such good prices on fragrances means more profit in your pocket. Losing them means lost profit to me even if I only spent a few dollars to get them. The 1 oz or 2 oz I'd mix away and have "limited" or "black label" edition. Mix them lol leftovers up until I had a 16 oz bottle of something. With u only making melts 16 oz would go further. IF you want to get rid of some of your stash but want to revisit the scent you could always do the portion cups with cotton balls and put scent on the cb. Or even get u a box and wax 1 up. This is what I just did. I got rid of a few of my fragrances. I used the mini portion cups and waxed them,next I'll just cotton ball them though. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I haven't heard of that. I get such great deals that I'm still ahead even if I would lose one. I bought $4000 worth of stuff from a lady I know for $385. That was the highest I've paid. Lots of 1-2 pounders. She had quit the business. I bought 167 1 oz. Bottles new for $12 a few months ago. Some people just want it gone. I'm always searching. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I paid more for shipping then what I did for the other molds but my money was returned because the shipment is mia... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
