Thank you for watching!

[@user-hc1qf6px5e]

Hello!,
Love the video and I'm also wondering where you get candle jars from?

[@inceptiondreamer]

Thank you for this video. My husband and I are starting a candle business (waiting on our supplies or get here); and we are hoping to launch by the end of April.

[@amylee5088]

I started in September, and testing wicks to get a good product takes longer than you would think. I'm launching in April or May myself. I gave away a ton of candles while I was still figuring out the correct percentages of wax and fragrance oils, temps, containers, etc.
My advice is to get only one size and type of container to start with. I bought too many different things then got overwhelmed with how each vessel needs a different wick, and how to get the perfect hot throw and burn. Wicking is the devil! I thought I'd be ready to launch in a month or two. Not so .. Testing is absolutely necessary and more time consuming than you realize. Good luck with your business- it's honestly a lot of fun, even during testing!

Just to say I’ve had a dymo label printer for several years, great for shipping labels, but not for goods as the printer is thermal and the words disappear after a while, and especially when the weather is warm . I learned this the hard way and had to re label my goods .thanks for you tips x

[@amylee5088]

I don't use lids on my candles, but I shrinkwrap them. I use fragrance labels on the shrink-wrap. Since the shrink-wrap comes off before the candle gets lit, it's ok to use a cheap thermal printer. Sadness so much money

[@sweetqueen1100]

great

[@Loecandles]

I enjoy watching all your videos. I starring watching them when I need help what kind of vessel I wanted to use. Where to you order your vessels from and size ?
Since you were a teacher, just do sub teaching. And then you would have time to stay devoted to your business.

[@IAmCoCoBean]

Thank you so much for this video!! Can you recommend which brand of labels stick the best on the cement candles please?

[@laciej]

I use Avery labels and I honestly prefer the white film ones. Those ones are removable and makes life so much easier!

[@IAmCoCoBean]

@@laciej Thank you ❤️

[@TiffanyHoy]

Do you mind sharing where you get your cement vessel mold from and how many should we start off with?

[@robineaster5216]

I would love to know this also. I love the shape of her's.

[@kikior3702]

What brand shirt is that, that you have on!

[@briissoawesome]

Do you have any recipes that you use frequently I am having an issue with finding a good recipe for how many candles I need and I have different sized jars and always end up needing more wax or left over wax 🤦🏽‍♀️

[@heliusuk]

Love your videos. I've been trying to get my candle business going since March 2022. I'm so about to give up. It's almost like in invisible 😔

[@SacredSoulPractice]

Praying for you.

[@heliusuk]

I need it xx

[@tolanimary]

Please what are cement vessels?

[@VictoriouslyCrowned]

She mixes cement in moulds for her candle containers.

[@followGreatness]

​@@VictoriouslyCrownedis that the traditional way ? Or something anyone who has time can do?
