I love how real and authentic you are with sharing information! And I love hearing from the creative side and the business side! I would love more videos on how you do production on your candles, testing and printing your labels and the business side of how you were able to open your storefronts in such a short time frame and what kind of cost went into that. I just launched 4 months ago and I was definitely in the negative this last year so i'm curious how you got to the position you're in and what kind of profit margins you have with the stores open now. You never know if you're doing things right, as an entrepreneur you are kind of on your own so thank you for being open and sharing so I can relate to someone lol Awesome Job!

You got it! I wrote down your questions and going to put them in an upcoming video. Thanks for the kind comments!
