I love making candles because its fun I feel like a mad scientist.
If you like to be able to write on your tester strips, Rustic Escentuals has wider testing strips. They are SO much easier to write on. I’ve tried several WW fragrances and for the money I’m spending, I EXPECT a strong throw. I use their vessels, but know I can spend the same amount of money with other suppliers of luxury FO’s and get more bang for my buck. Thank you for this video. I have combined coco ap and 486. I’m on to mixing other waxes. I love learning new wax combos! Many blessings and much love to you! Beautiful studio by the way!!
This would literally be everything I need to get my business on its feet ! I love making candles it is super therapeutic for me!
I started making candles when I was on maternity leave with my daughter in 1995! Since then, it’s always been my go to stress reducer and spares those around me from having a flip flop thrown at their heads LOL! Candle
Making saves lives!!
lol 🥰
20% is the boosting wax is the perfect percentage if you’re mixing waxes. I evidently watched this another time! Your videos are so soothing. Testing never stops does it? However, I get really excited when I blend 2 FO’s and come up with a new FO! I’ve been blending waxes for awhile and it really does help with my CT and HT! Thank you for sharing this video, Sweetie!
Making candles has been a person stress relief, which I start my stress meltdown like the candle wax. Who knew a holiday fun gift idea would turn into something I love to do. It makes my family happy to see me do something I love ❤️
When I discovered my love of candlemaking, it felt like I was coming home. It's profoundly changed my life for the better. It is outstanding to me the range of talent, graciousness, unwavering support, and extraordinary kindness, the entire maker community consists of. I'm forever and always grateful.
I love making candles because they give me peace of mind after a long day of taking care of kids. I needed to come up with a business that my kids can look at as fun and also be proud of doing. Im taking a risk of not having a job just to be on our own and become my own boss. It scary cause you have so many fears of failing. This what i need to do a luxury candle line.
I'm a FT Medical Technologist, so I've always loved science and everything related. I see the candle making process as my own research project on how to perfect something. I also love candles and everything scented, so it was like the perfect getaway from "reality". Now planning on converting it to a business.
I love your studio and the way you show your process, it's been for sure a big inspiration for me, so thanks.
Is there an update on the wax blend you tried? Also do you have the link for those cabinets in the back your Aura's are in? The link you posted for it takes me to nothing....
Omg! This calculator is amazing! Do you have a link
For it?
How did that candle turn out with the SP487 mixed with Coconut Apricot Creme`? HT/CT?
Are you still mixing the coco apricot with the sp-487? Interested in how it turned out.
I would like to know how they came out the burn test, the scent throw, for your recipes. Can you please do a second video
Amazing video. Question with the SP487 wax. Do you still do 9% FO with wooden wick or decrease to 8%?
I loved burning candles before loving MAKING candles. For me, it all started with the challenge of learning something new and use my creativity. That's how Candle Hugs and Co. was born. THANK YOU for sharing all your knowledge. Loving your videos!
Heyyy I love your videos and content btw and your soft voice lol , I love making candles because it’s very therapeutic for me on top of my obsession with candles, I’m still perfecting my craft but I’m excited to be on this candle making journey and I can’t wait to launch.
I love to make candles as gifts for loved ones. It’s a great way to show someone you care!
Excellent video. Thank you so much for your lab notes! I’m currently selling herbs + petals alone and it smells like a beautiful home mix on its own. I’m ordering your suggestion of Calabrian lemon and lilac leaves to try it out!
I really liked this video because, I am just starting to make candles. I really like how she used the wooden wicks with the golden tins for the candles they look really cool. Another thing I liked about this video was that she mixed up the fragrances with other fragrance sents for the candles to try something new !
I'm new to candle making. Recently had a heart attack followed by triple bypass surgery. Fell in love with the creativity. I enjoy your videos so much. You provide great information.
Curious as to why you stopped using the Coco 83?
I couldn’t find it for like 3 months lol. I was going to launch with it actually, but when it ran out and no one had it (no one still has it 😭) I was forced to switch. Now coco apricot is out of stock 😂😂😂
@@HawthornCompany, thank you! I have both and love both but I’ve never tried mixing SP487 with Coco Apricot. Looking forward to your follow up results.
Love your studio set up! Did you add the glass doors on your white tall shelves behind you?
Congratulations on your 1k 😁
I started making candles with my daughter a couple months ago and we always have so much fun with the fragrances, waxes, and other items in our candles. I am learning so much. Thank you😁🤗
I’d like to live in America just to make candles! We have so many regulations here, (UK) for selling. So we can’t mix fragrance oils, without sending them to be tested which costs lots. Same with essential oils. You can only sell them if you buy a companies already mixed, regulated, oil with their safety data sheets, CLP warnings for labels, and Max 10% fragrance load. Basically everything has to be tested if you want something unique. Same with soap, in-fact that’s harder. Anything you add to a soap base has to be sent for testing. It just adds loads of extra money. 🤷🏻♀️
I discovered that I really enjoyed making candles when I decided to stop smoking marijuana due to my anxiety and refusal to be on medication for it. Long and personal story but I suffer for PTSD which causes my anxiety and marijuana was working great for me wasn’t an avid or daily smoker but it also wasn’t really my thing (doctor’s recommendation) after I refused meds. But candle making has brought me so much peace and relaxation it’s great and the sound of the crackling wooden wick is so soothing and awesome to listen to during meditation and breathing exercises.
Thanks for sharing. ❤ I'm going try the cardamom tea + grapefruit with the santal + black cardamom. I have tried egyptian linen + lavender buds with oud patchouli + resins together for my sister, she loved it. I have also tried palo santo + sage with sage + lavender! I have less than a pound of cac left. I may as well try this blend lol.
Oh my god!! I never thought of trying Lavender buds with oud patchouli, I should try it too 😍
I would love to try this, But I have no bribe game, I just love your style and never heard of these waxes until I saw your Channel but I love selenite. You make candle making look like it could be super sweet & fun! 💝
Making candles is a means of escape for me while also creating something beautiful and aromatic.
I love making candles because it allows me to combine my artsy and nerdy side. People don’t realize the science and testing that go into the process!! And I love math...candle math is fun lol
You are awesome for sharing such in depth knowledge from your perspective. I love your description of the fragrances. I was thinking of what to add to my business and something I could make and brand. Candle making fell on my lap 🤗. It would make my day to get a starter kit that contains pieces I actually lean towards.🙏🏽
I love your sweater 😍.
Hahah thank you!!
How many finished candles in the aura vessels will your cabinet hold? (Weight considered)
Loved your video! What your doing is really awesome. I started making candles for family members just for fun and I feel it's so relaxing for the home. I had leukemia for a while a while and after remission it was my relaxation outlet. Your fun to watch, much success to you. I love candle making!
Oh wow you are a fighter!! Much love to you ♥️. I’m happy you were able to find something you love doing 😍
Congratulations on your 1k subscribers!! I have been at this candle business for a bit now and still love to learn more your videos are great!! Enjoying your journey!!!
I started by making cupcake candles of all things!! I had no idea what I was doing and under wicked most of them🤦♀️I didn't even measure my FO!!!! I've come along ways since then(I think so any ways) no more cupcakes!!
I love making candles because it is so much fun to create something of my own that can bring a smile to someone. I have always found that candles can make people feel good when they smell a favorite scent. Thank you for the chance to win!
Can I add paraffin wax to coconut apricot creme wax for a better hot throw ? If so what would be a good ratio to begin with?
I love making candles because of the challenges and opportunity for a creative outlet it provides. I really enjoy testing out new waxes and fragrance oils. One reason I would love this kit as I’ve had the opportunity to try very few Wooden Wick products.
I just bought some of this vegetable wax! I’m so exciting to try blending with my Coco Apricot. Would you still use the Crackling Booster: .02 Wood Wicks?
Hello if you don't mind me asking where do you get your candle jars from?
Have not started making the candles I dream of making because all my $ has been going to moving. Once I settle down w a friend until I can find a place I hope to get started. I can really use the therapy at this time. Thank you 💕
Watching your videos is so relaxing while being so informative at the same time! I love it! I love making candles because in the long run it’s cheaper and higher quality than buying. I just make to gift :)
I love making candles because it’s my mommy time. It’s like meditation to me 🤗
I homeschool my children, which I love to do, and making candles has less calories than drinking cokes to relax. When your child walks up to you and says, "You may need this", it may be time to go make candles. It lets you be creative, shows a little of your personality, and has the potential to help with income (also it saves children push ups Jk). Save the children- make a candle movement!
Can you list your mixes? I know you are announcing the fragrance to make sure im missing the correct fragrances I would like a list please. Thank you
I love making candles because I wanted to channel my energy into something challenging but creative.
Are you melting the waxes together?
Hey, I dont know if you are aware of this or not but I have tried to go to your website several times and I get a warning message saying this site is not secure and warns that the site may be highjacked with hackers trying to impersonate the owner to obtain my private information. Is there any other way in that is secure?
Since Covid, I have been using candle-making as part of my self care regimen (I love the process of making something with my own hands)! Once my candles are ready, I lock myself in the bathroom, light the wick and let the scent take me away from the demands of being a wife, mom & school director and take me to a much calmer and relaxing space. Being gifted this set would be a dream! Whether I win or not, thank you for being so generous to share this gift with us... you’re awesome! ❤️
Love watching this video and learned so much about candle making, my favorite part is the fragrance information..
Thanks for being here 🙏🏻♥️ glad I could help!
Yay! I love this:) I love making candles and especially fooling my kids and husband with my dessert candles. Ooh look at that pie I'm going to get a slice, nope it's fake hahaha. Seriously it's relaxing just like soap making. Have been curious to try this blend of wax, just been out of stock everywhere
So happy I stumbled on your channel! You have inspired me to start making candles, thank you🙏🏻♥️
That’s amazing 😍 and I’m super excited for your journey!!
Did mixing the waxes meet your expectations when you did a test burn? Lots of good info. Thanks for sharing!
I was wondering the same. 🤞
This was the first time I found your channel and I absolutely love everything you have done! Why would I love to win the giveaway?...because I would love to see my husbands GIANT smile when I could tell him that these candle supplies were free!!! haha! (just getting started and in the buying lots of supplies and testing phase) Now subscribed and I will continue watching! :)
Absolute love making candles ... because it’s me time .... the hubby knows not to bother me 😁
Healing! It's one of the things that helped me and I wanted to share the benefits of fragrance on our spirits with others. So I had to start making them because my husband sees the bank statement every month 🙄 I love mixing the FOs, the glow of the flame is like meditation and the way candles just zen me out. I also recycle & reuse my vessels. Thank you so much for the generous giveaway.
PS your studio ♥️ #oneday
I have just started my small candle business with my family and your videos really help!
Whew Chile! I loved the video. I love your spirit and calmness. I know that candle making is not for the faint of heart, and when I don’t get the results that I intend, I don’t take it so well. I would love to win the WW box because honestly, I could not afford it myself. Thank you for your videos.
I just started making candles and your videos have been very hopeful. You inspired my organization also
I’d love to win this kit because you’ve truly inspired me to make candles. It’s so therapeutic and fun! And I think I should win because I’m also in FL 😜
Did you do the DIY for the FC base? I have a gallon of it too and definitely garbage. Would love your formula to salvage it before switching to another base from WW.
I never touched it after the first attempt, I didn’t like it at all haha
Hi Jessica, Where did you get that calculator? Lol I love it
What type of wick are you using please?
where exactly can I find the gold vessels you use?
This is the husband here. She’s working hard so I found out for you. She got those gold jars from Wooden Wick.
@@WildTitan thank you and tell her to keep up the amazing work.
Hi 😊
I loved your video!! I want to try and make candles, I did not pour any yet!
Thank you for the info you are providing🙂
.
I love making candles bc it makes me happy to have a good smelling house and for others as well. Thanks so much for the opportunity!
no hablo ingles, pero me interesa muchisimo aprender con las cera de coco y apricot, por que no haces alguna traduccion para los latiinos , gracias espero lo hagas
I just started my small business I love making candles but everytime I go to order coco apricot it’s sold out /: even competitors. I love making candles bc the process is unique & different for everyone.
Ugh yeah it’s sold out everywhere 😭😭 it wasn’t like this a few months ago!
Where did you purchase your calculator please?
I’m so new to candle making and really struggling to find the wax/container/wick/fo combo that will look beautiful, smell great and burn clean. Wondering if you suggest this 80/20 blend all the time or did you just decide to use it with the gold Auras?
All of the time! A lot of people used the combo and liked it. They also liked the coconut83 + 25% sp487 combo too
@@HawthornCompany thanks so much for replying! By the way, GREAT studio setup!!
Thank you 🙏🏻
Are you using the 0.75 booster or without booster?
Depends on the oil, sometimes i would have to alternate and sometimes a .625 booster
Love the scent blends. Congrats on 1k subscribers. 👏🏼❤.
Thank you so much!
OMG, I'm late for the give away but I'm getting obsessed with candles, and I love how your candles look, I'm a new subscriber, keep it up, :)
Welcome!!! Candle making is a lot of fun lol it’s definitely addictive 😂😂
Where did u get your calculator?
Hey hun at what temperature do you heat up the coco apricot cream
200-215° anywhere in that range is fine. Sorry for the late reply!
Weehh! I can’t believe I haven’t subscribe yet and I’d been watching your videos like a cult lolz 🥰. You’re really an inspiration Jessica, thank you!
Hahah girrrrl I’m so disappointed 😂😂
@@HawthornCompany lolz for realz! turns out, I only have my instagram notifications on, hence I'm always on your insta hahaha! And I made some perfume using dark rose + labdanum and girl, that fo is like hella strong lolz, but it smells so good in perfume!
I love black Amber too. It's my favorite. How many jars your beautiful cabinet can hold?
It can hold 9 aura jars per shelf, so almost 300 jars
@@HawthornCompany wowww. I love that. Thank you so much for replying
Hi hun! First off I cannot thank you enough for all of the beautiful content you so graciously share...you are truly an inspiration :) Since I can remember I've been obsessed with anything pertaining to scents particularly candles (just the thought oooh la la). While the business aspect of it has crossed my mind for years now I finally mustered up the courage to take a leap of faith and just DO IT like NIKE! To be quite honest due to the candle supply shortage and this being a new business venture I have not been able to purchase any wax or necessary supples just to make one little candle, however I have such a deep connection with candles that that I feel as though I've made a ton of candles...the very thought alone brings me pure bliss...If I were to to win the kit this would allow me to quite literally make my very first candle.
BTW did I mention I also live in Tampa? Haha wink wink ;)
I absolutely love your content and esthetic ♥️♥️♥️💗
Have you found a good vanilla? I do have cashmere vanilla but it is weak
Cashmere Vanilla is super weak I only use it for mixing. I actually haven’t found a true vanilla I love with a strong hot throw, the closest one is Vanilla Santal + Shea butter
@@HawthornCompany have you tried mixing cashmere vanilla and vanilla santal?
Omg! I just picked up SP487 on accident! Now I know what to try. I just started making candles. Haven't quite gotten it down. I've been struggling with fast burn off... this is awesome! I started doing candles because my husband loves, I mean LOVES candles and he loads up on them when he's gone on deployment. He buys a lot because the smell goes away fast. So I'm set on making him some that will last with a great throw the entire time he's on deployment. I have 3 weeks left to get it done! I'm going to try this recipe. I also ordered WW Opopanax + oriental musk to make for him all based on your last video reaction when you opened it to smell it. That alone sold me! And I'm definitely trying Egyptian linen + Lavender bud mix since I couldn't get a good scent throw.
Ohhh you should do a 487 test and we can compare notes! It would be helpful/fun to hear someone else’s feedback on the blend. And girl yes 🙌🏻 the Egyptian and lavender combo is awesome. Also try it with wildflowers if you have it, it smells so good.
Ok ladies where do you get these awesome waxes from? The sp487 from? I'm new and only tried WW coconut soy wax
What is the difference between sp487 and 487?
I will do that. My new WW come in Saturday and I have my blend ready! I will let you know. So excited.
SP486 and S487 are available at www.swanscandles.com they are really awesome. We've gone a few times last month to pick up from him. Both SP waxes are harder waxes, SP487 is made more for pillar waxes and SP486 is a container wax. Both are vegetable waxes.
I just found your site and love your content! I'm currently organizing my office/candle studio and getting good inspo from your channel.I may be late to entering but thought to comment anyway
-offline b/c Yesterday was my wedding anniversary celebrating 21 yr in snow blizzard in PDX :-)
That’s exciting! Happy anniversary!!! I’m happy to have you here 🙌🏻 if you need any links to the storage units in my studio let me know ♥️
that candle looked absolutely beautiful
😍 TY! The tops came out perfect
I love making candles helped with my PPD.
I would love to know how the candles turned out. Can we get an update?
I’ll do a full update soon. They turned out amazing!!!! I am in love with this blend. I’m going to try different fragrance oil percentages next, I’m curious to see how well the wax performs with a higher fragrance load
@@HawthornCompany I am going to order the SP487 because the Coco Apricot was not what I expected. I am looking forward to the update.
It’s super tricky to wick, it’s very frustrating but it does have a great hot throw and it looks beautiful. The 487 made it into a whole new wax!! You’re going to love the blend, a lot of people have tried it already and are getting great results 🙌🏻
Amazing candles. Love the aesthetic!
Thank you 😍
Think of the monkeys when ordering palm, were tearing their natural habitat down for our selfish reasons. For this reason I don’t use palm. Hopefully it is ethically harvested. Love your channel though! 😝
Agreed! Same with coconut harvesting and the deforestation from soy. It’s all awful 😩. I still haven’t called them to check yet, which I need to do lol. I know coco apricot is ethically sourced.
Where do you get the sp487 from
Swans candles
Girl I know you like big things but lol your calculator is huge. Loved your video let us know how your blends turned out
I think its a tablet
Hahaha omg that made me laugh 😆 it’s an iPad Pro, I was recording on my phone so it was my only option LOL!!
@@HawthornCompany thought you would like that comment lol
Your candle studio is so beautiful. I hope you Are successful when you launch your business.
Thank you so much for the kind thoughts! 😍😍
Did you say lower FO % creates larger flames?
Yeah from what I’ve tested so far, this doesn’t apply to all FOs of course, just a generalization. I get higher flames at a lower %, which is great if you’re struggling with drowning issues.
@@HawthornCompany sooting is my issue not matter what. Just ordered some coco83! Thank you for your response!
Sounds like the flame is too big then. Can I ask what wicks you are using and which wax? & how much FO? Jar diameter? Coco83 isn’t super great for wooden wicks, not sure if that’s what you’re using, but I loooove it with 12% FO and double cotton wicks (CDN wick series) with 2-5% beeswax or 25% 486 or 487.
@@HawthornCompany 7-8% FO, 6006, 16oz calypso jars from Glassnow. I've tried new and old HTP, LX, Zinc, CD, cottonwood. I started with 6006 and have wanted to switch to coconut waxes but as you know it is always sold out. Thank you so much for your help and everything you do! Opening diameter- 2.67in. Width 3.15in.
Since you have the 83 try it with 2% beeswax and double CD wicks with 12% FO ♥️. I used to love that combo, such a great throw. CDN would be better but you probably have CDs already. good luck!
Love the lip💄
Wowww what a great coincidence. My bday is tomorrow 2/4 and I feel like that i will be the winner of this giveaway. I love making candles because it helps me with anxiety issue and I love a great smelling house that always put a smile on my face when I light my candles and after a few minutes to start getting a great HT.
My IG name @choublakcandle
LOVE YOUR STUDIO
Thank you!! It was a labor of love 😂
I like you😁 I'm going to subscribe
I love making candles cause my boyfriend’s fart smell bad and I told him to make sure to lit a candle whenever he will be farting LoL
#DEAD 😂
Well I will not qualify for the giveaway anyways since I'm in Canada😪
However, I just wanted to let you know that you're a true inspiration! I love your taste in everything and your attention to details. I hope my products could some day be as good aa yours!
Congratulations on the 1000 subscribers!
I’ll work on Canada shipping options soon! I mean we are neighbors it shouldn’t be that hard right? 😂
@@HawthornCompany Definitely not so bad! I ship to the US all the time and have had no issues so far
Which carrier do you use? I have a UPS business account and I think they ship to Canada, I think as long as the value is under $150 y’all don’t have to pay customs right?
@@HawthornCompany yes I believe the customs are something along that line. I send with Canada Post, which takes the packages to the border, and hands them out to the USPS. This worked to be way cheaper than using UPS or Fedex for me (but I don't have a business account with either). I imagine there would be a service in the other direction through which the USPS takes the packages to the border and hands them out to Canada Post?
Well if you’re willing to be my test subject, I can try shipping something small to you and seeing what happens LOL. No expense to you of course, I just need to see what the process would be like and how long it takes to reach you
I love making candles because it helps me soothe the feelings in my soul that often times I cannot express in words. I love to set off a mood that is unmatched. A candle isn’t just a candle for me, it’s an experience. And making them is almost like telling a story, from having lights dimmed to Jazz music playing in the background to dancing alone or with a loved one while in the process of making them there’s a story and happy moment that’s comes along with each candle I make. Even for test candles lol. It’s like I’m watching myself before the dream comes true of having my own candle business and it makes me smile by itself to know maybe one day I’ll sell some candles and other people will buy them and love them just as much as I do. That’s the reward in itself for me! Anything after that is a plus.Just another person picking up on good vibes. I am a new candle maker (1 month in) and the joy I get from learning interesting facts about how to make a candle down to the science(math) it involves, it actually makes me realize I have more strengths than weakness and I can do anything I dedicate myself too. I’ve mastered math because of just how dedicated I was to learning how to do this. That’s one subject I ran away from my whole life!! Candle making has taken me out of a huge depression I sunk in and lifted my spirits into a safe place. Where I can now let another creative side of me shine through. I used to be in stores for hours smelling and buying candles and filling up cabinets with them, and now I’m making them myself and for a future business. The joy is being able to make something ive always loved to own, to something I can make for myself. Ive learned so much from UA-camrs like yourself and being encouraged by people who are just as passionate about this as me. That makes me extremely happy. I really love your content it’s very soothing.I subscribed yesterday and watched and liked everything because your content is really good! Very informative, detailed and refreshing. Keep up your awesome work and keep the videos coming. I can’t wait to see you live with my all time favorite supplier wooden wick co! You rock from one candle maker to another!🕯❤️🕯
Hey babe! You won! DM me on IG @hawthorncompany
Hello!! Just wondering where can I find the sp487, any link??? Thank you!! Love your channel!
So how was your update on this blend ? Was the HT better with this blend?
I am wondering the same thing....
I’ve always loved burning candles and it wasn’t until the pandemic hit that I realized I loved making candles... here’s the back story. With so much forced time home I found myself “empty” and needing to fill that emptiness. Hmmm what do I love? Seafood but not really into cooking for others. Wine however not wanting to be a connoisseur. Candles hmmm possibly so did some research bought a kit made some candles and fell in love. I find it relaxing even the “stressful times” I’m enjoying this ride. Creating scents, designing labels sniffing my curing candles lol I just love it all. Regardless if I ever win anything or not I love expressing my joy with making candles. Thank you for this video, I love learning all things candles
