SuzyK Posted February 24, 2011 Share Posted February 24, 2011 I am so jealous you got your first order done already! I am still saving pennies, lots of them. lol. I bet you are as excited as I am to start. Good luck and I can't wait to see what you find with your wax. I haven't decided which wax I want to try.

forevershanda Posted February 24, 2011 Author Share Posted February 24, 2011 I squirrled some away from our tax return or I still wouldn't be ordering!! I'm soooo absolutely excited!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SuzyK Posted February 25, 2011 Share Posted February 25, 2011 Ohhh, tax refund. That's awesome! I am excited for you! I usually get a pretty big one but I got divorced this last year, so no refund this year for me. Not because of the divorce, but because I'm a stay at home mom.I have another business so I am using that money to start trying this. Hopefully in the next month I'll have enough!

AlwaysWondering Posted February 25, 2011 Share Posted February 25, 2011 Sounds like a nice order to get you started with good variety of scents, too. I don't order from BCN or S but I do order from KY. I think KY's zucchini bread is the best. I just ordered their honeysuckle with my last order and so far, it's a good one compared to other honeysuckles I have sampled. I did try their sugar cookie but my notes said I found it weak. I have sampled at least 5 sugar cookies and haven't like any of them, might be my nose and not the suppliers!Good luck! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lauramw71 Posted February 27, 2011 Share Posted February 27, 2011 Mmmm BCN's Clean Cotton is my FAVORITE!!! love, love, love it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nmhoneybear Posted March 1, 2011 Share Posted March 1, 2011 Looks like you done good! lol Only with all of those luscious FO's you got, especially from KY, you might wish you had gotten more of their tart wax. You will go through 5 pounds in no time flat! They do have the best Zucchini Bread FO. It is one you will not want to stop sniffing! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
forevershanda Posted March 1, 2011 Author Share Posted March 1, 2011 BTW guys, the lady at KY told me they are NOT discontinuing that wax. Only waiting for it to come in!!I know I probably should of ordered more wax, but after reading on here how some love it, others don't, I wanted to start small until I find "my" wax!

tlc26 Posted March 3, 2011 Share Posted March 3, 2011 I would skip the double boiler maker thingy and go to walmart, spend $20 on a Presto Kitchen Kettle (deep dryer) for melting wax. Fast, easy and you can do more than in your pour pot. Totally worth the investment!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
forevershanda Posted March 3, 2011 Author Share Posted March 3, 2011 Okay, call me stupid and laugh, but I'm just not "getting" the whole presto pot thing. Is it like a fry daddy? How do you adjust temperature in it to keep it from getting too hot? Looks like another research project for me! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SuzyK Posted March 3, 2011 Share Posted March 3, 2011 I've been researching the presto pots too and it seems the way to go. There's tons of threads here on them. They kind of look like a crock pot. I'm trying to figure out where to purchase one. I'll probably go with Walmart. You can set the temperature on them and they shouldn't go over that temperature. I haven't used one yet though so I could be wrong. lol. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
forevershanda Posted March 3, 2011 Author Share Posted March 3, 2011 Yep, I need to sit down and do some research! This week has been so horrid with hubby going through all the tests and the health scare and all. I've been doing good just to keep up with the day to day stuff.

SuzyK Posted March 4, 2011 Share Posted March 4, 2011 Oh no! I hope your hubby is ok!Have you received anything you ordered yet? I made my first order and it will be here on Monday. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pam W Posted March 6, 2011 Share Posted March 6, 2011 Okay, call me stupid and laugh, but I'm just not "getting" the whole presto pot thing. Is it like a fry daddy?

forevershanda Posted March 6, 2011 Author Share Posted March 6, 2011 Yes, directions I could read AFTER purchase. The idea is that I'm not sure I want to even purchase one, so would research first to decide.:rolleyes2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

marcuset Posted March 7, 2011 Share Posted March 7, 2011 Nice first orders...you'll enjoy yourself with what you have coming. KY was one of my first suppliers as well...& still love their oils! BCN is awesome too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
