Where do u get your oils?

I wouldn't focus on things that people aren't interested in. Maybe an alternative would be getting a carrier and do warming oils?? I am doing those as well

I buy lots of destashes. I don't buy the ones that sell junk and not that charge more than the supplier. A lot of people just want it gone. I look daily.

That is actually my next project lol and the oils that go with the Crystal Rock salts. I love those salts.

I know some day they get from off fb groups but I couldn't find any lol.

I have a ton of the salts, my warming oils are the same blend that I use for my salts

I sometimes don't find any destashes one week. Then the next week I get 2 or 3. I look on eBay too. 

I am really thinking of doing those oils. Cheap and a great product .just worry about leaking during shipping. I hate electrical tape on bottles but it does work. Just not pretty lol

I've been using Amber cylinder bottles. Haven't had an issue yet with them. 

I thought about using the Boston round with a  dropper top but everyone that has gotten from me just said they use the cap to measure their oil into the warmer so I said to myself no need to put more money into packaging if they like that..

Well at least I can see why since Washi is part of Washington. Lol but sometimes it's way off.

My mom uses speech to text and oh man you should see half of them. I cant even decipher it some times. I told her she needs to slow down. 

Her posts on fb I swear it looks like she's drunk texting but she doesn't drink. 😂😂😂

On one hand I like really simple design and functionality, on the other, cuteness.  As a customer, if it costs more due to labor or molds, I would just go with simpler melts.  I'm also one that doesn't personally need color in wax.  At the same time I would definitely buy fun molded/colored melts that didn't cost significantly more per ounce.  I just got some molds, excited to try them out.

What kind did you end up getting? I also picked up a few of the mini brownie trays that I seen at Wal-Mart. 

I found a few more online that were to cute,however their price was way to ugly for me. Lol

My take on the ky133 now that I know what I need to do to prevent the lumps and bumps, i prefer ky133 over 4794. 4794 is super hard. You have to beat it harder than a teenage boy who found himself (can I say that?😂😂😂) to even break it up enough to get into the pot for melting.  4794 has decent results,for ease of use and cure time ky133 wins hands down imo.

I'm going online so I don't think it will be a problem. I know local customers around where I live don't care about shapes. They just want great melts. I like the cute shapes but I really love these cups. And it is easier too since you use it on the warmer. It does cost more but the throw is amazing with 4627. Very productive as I can make these quicker. Shapes are cuter though. But you can't use all 4627 with the shapes and that is what I love the best.

Well I revisited my palm/soy waffle bars that I made. After 1 week cure there was no throw,now what seems to be a month ago they are all through the house within 5 minutes.

I had that happen. Some soy I made took 4 months to cure. Some less but that is crazy.

I just finished pouring some clams and every fifth or sixth I overpoured. 😂😂

I need better lighting in that corner

Now I remember why I quit doing them b4.

Going to use up my palm and soy in clams,and be done with those waxes.

This is exactly what happens to me. I said forget it. It is hard to see inside the clamshell so I made what I had and not ordering more. 

Using my soy to make Scoopable then when I run out don't get more. Really love the 4627. It is amazing and throws like crazy. Also so pretty to look at.

You could always make shapes and put on top of the cups, unless u fill them to the top

That is a great idea. I don't fill them to the top only because it is being melted in the cup. I fill them almost full but this will fill the gap. Maybe make it a different scent that compliments it.
