    If y’all don’t know - before you purchase a candle, smell the lid (NOT the candle) and that will be the strength of the smell of the candle while it burns. I believe it is called a “cold throw”. So, strong lid smell = strong “hot throw”, not a strong lid smell = bland candle when burning! Hope this helps :)

    mia next time you use the clay if it cracks like that once dry: take some of the leftover clay and mix it with water to make kind of a paste and use that to fill in the cracks just make sure it isnt too liquidy or too thick and it should work perfectly once smoothed out! also using a wet sponge and misting clay with a spray bottle helps get things smoother as long as its not overly wet

    I'm so glad you got an ad for local, small business candles! I'm a big advocate for scented products by small businesses because on the whole they use much less chemicals and they hold so much more passion in both concepts and execution! Supporting them helps both body and soul :)
    I've found a lot of local candles on both Instagram and Etsy, and have gotten into perfumes as well. Once I took the leap to independent makers I quickly realized I couldn't go back to the mass market stuff, you can really smell the difference!

    My routine is zapzit cream once it appears twice a day until it comes to a head, then sticker once to twice a day until gone. Cuts the lifespan in half.

      @jessh7448 Рік тому +2

      Hi! Amateur sculpteur here. There's many reasons why he bowl cracked and was uneven. When using clay it is better to not have many little pieces pressed together because it creates the possibility of missing some areas and have air in between layers.
      You should also do cross hashes on both side of the pieces you want to stick and add slip (slip is basically watered down clay, everyone has a different preferance in consistency, but I would go around yogurt consistence.)by doing that you are sealing the pieces of clay. And it would still be considered a weak point.
      You indeed need water while working clay because it dries pretty fast and having water also helps to smooth out the surface as mentioned above. Even if you use slip or add water you can fire them, but we need to keep in mind that weak points will become very obvious and the size and colour of the clay will change too it usually shrinks as the water in the clay evaporates.

      @cherrybomb3033 Рік тому

      Same for me as well. When I was a kid I remember that after a rainstorm there would be earthworms all over the driveway and road. After that I always associated the smell of rain to smell like worms. Anybody that I would bring this up to would look at me like I was crazy. The only time that I think rain smells good and not like worms is right before it rains like when the storm is just starting to blow in, but after everything is wet it smells like worms to me😂 Even though I've never picked up and sniffed a worm before. I also was eating Ramen noodles as a ki'd after a rainstorm and I walked outside bowl in hand to see all the earthworms crawling about. I looked down at my noodles and that was it, I had to toss them in the trash. To this day as a 38 yr old adult I cannot eat Ramen because after the first few bites I think of worms and gross myself out. I've never been able to get passed it. It's weird how our child brains associate different things to other things and it stays with us forever. It's also crazy how some of us have the same weird associations like rain smelling like worms😂

      There’s a word for that smell, it’s “petrochor”. It’s a real word and for some info: “Humans aren't the only ones to appreciate the earthy aroma after an April rain shower. That smell-known as petrichor-stems from microscopic streptomycete bacteria in the soil that produce a compound called geosmin, The Times reports.”.

    Hey Mia! Just wanted to let you know that it would be a good idea to put your plants in a pot that has drainage holes! You could use a nursery pot, and then just pop that whole thing into your nicer pot after you've watered it. Never plant plants in pots without drainage holes! It's a recipe for root rot, esp for the ficus!

I love the plants you got, that zig zag plant is so cool. I may need to give them a try. Thinking I need more plants in the house to clean the air.

    Just some advice on the plants - they generally do better if you keep them in plastic pots and don't plant them directly into the decorative pot! Especially the crassula (or any plant that doesn't require a lot of water) really doesn't like to have moisture sitting at the bottom of the pot and keeping them in the plastic pots helps the water drain better. Repotting them again into plastic pots and putting those in the decorative ones might be something to consider if you want to help them stay as healthy as they are now :)

    Soot is pretty unavoidable when it comes to candle burning. It's not that there's toxins in the candle, it's the burning process.
    Unsolicited advice incoming;
    The higher the temperature, the less soot and fine dust, so a warm flame is important (more complete combustion).
    Don't put the candle at a place where there's a lot of airflow, a flikkering flame is no good. You do want ventilation during the burning process though, to limit exposure.
    It's also important that the flame gets enough oxygen so it shouldn't be deep in a glass (not enough oxygen will cause incomplete combustion).
    If you want to put the flame out, dipping it in candle wax is a good way to go (pull it out again after). Blowing out a candle doesn't stop the process instantly, the longer it takes to fully die, the more incomplete combustion it'll go through. (There's probably tools for quickly putting out candles.)
    When it comes to the type of candle that's most healthy, go for a candle that'll burn slowly. No need to avoid scented candles when you don't have asthma and bee, soy or paraffin wax don't matter that much either, though people who try to sell you something like to tell you otherwise (and may not know otherwise). When you have to cut off the wick regularly because it gets too long, that's a bad sign of candle quality. Also avoid candles with multiple wicks, that's basically multiple candles.
    I've double checked my information with a Dutch article from 2020 that asked a toxicologist from the University of Maastricht.
    The only thing I can think of that would be a reason why there would be toxins in candles would be bad manufacturers and not enough protection for the costumer like we have in the EU, though with slow burning candles, you'll be more likely to get higher quality. There's occasions where the US is actually more protective so I really can't say.
    I'll end it with, don't be too afraid to lit up a candle now and then. It doesn't matter that much if you do it occasionally and you'll have a good time which is a healthy thing. Also, try to limit barbequing, I'm sure you can imagine why. Thank you for reading, I'll 🤐 now.
