- Hey Everyone!
In this video I wanted to show you the small space I'm working in when making candles for URBAN WANDERLUST. I don't have a dedicated candle studio but I somehow I make it work in all the corners of my tiny NYC apartment! I hope you enjoy and that this motivates you to follow your dreams no matter what the obstacles may be.
Don't forget to subscribe to my channel to join me on this journey as I continue to grow my business!
XO, Judith

Thank you soo much for all of your support throughout the years! I can’t wait to show everyone the new space!!
YES YES YES I LOVE THIS!!!!!!
Thank you for this! I just started my business from my TINY NYC apartment with limited --- I mean limited space. So, thank you for sharing that it’s possible simply by reworking my space. Definitely going back to the store for my folding table as well since my kitchen is half your size 😩
Awesome! Shout out to Pete!!

Love this!! Great Job! Can’t wait for the studio tour! 🎊🎊🎊🥰💪🥰💪🥰🙌🙌🙌
What an inspiration you are!
Coming soon!
Love your videos!
Wow you work so hard!! Very inspired! ❤️❤️😍
Those views!!! 😍 I don’t live in a big city but the space struggle is real. It seems like no matter how much room I have it’s never enough.
Space is always a problem in NY! That's why we moved to Long Island (still in NY, but definitely more room to spread out)! Thanks for watching!
Amazing! You gave me so many ideas on how to store things in my 1br apt!
Soo glad it helped!! It’s definitely not easy but it’s possible!
LOVED This thank you SO much for inspiring
My operation is almost the same!! Thank you so much for sharing. I thought I was organized, your super organized that’s way you are so successful 🙌🏽👏🏽🙌🏽🌟

Thank you! It wasn’t much but I made the best of it!

Awww don’t make me cry! I’ve always appreciate all the support you and Ana have shown me throughout the years!!
Great job on your first video! 👍🏽
GIRL! I loved this! I have my ENTIRE workstation in my closet. No joke. I also have a desk in my room that is my packing station but OMG I loved this.
OMG THANK YOU!! the sacrifices we make to run a business!! lol
Thank you for sharing ❤
Amazing video! Keep it up Judith! 💛✨
Yayy thanks so much for watching!
Thanks for sharing, very helpful!
Thank you for sharing!!
It’s so inspiring to seeing you make everything work! Baby, 9-5 and a business with the added pressure of a small place. And you never complain!! (Lol I felt you when you said I just gave up everything for large windows, I’m the same!)
haha I did it ALL for windows!
Thank you for inspiring me and thanks for sharing 🙏🏼
Omg thank youuu!!!

AHH THANKS SO MUCH! You just made me rewatch my first video. I have to remember to keep this same energy always. Good luck in your biz as well!! and thanks for watching!
@@UrbanWanderlustStudios 😘💗💓
oh dear God, girl....... I feel you!
Спасибо что делитесь процессом работы!
I always wondered how you did it. I admire what you have accomplished. #goals
Thank you! I really appreciate that!
Great video, I live in NYC so I can fully relate! great storage space ideas, I replaced my cereal cabinet to mycandle supply storage space. (cereal is not stored on top of the frig lol
Haha who needs food when we need candle storage!
Do you sell online?
Beautiful sis! Thanks for sharing your story! I’m from the Bronx so I feel you! AND I totally understand you on the spade issue and the importance of the natural lighting! I cannot live without natural lighting 😅 #smallbusinesslove
Thank you soo much for your words of encouragement! This was a scary thing to do but I’m glad I pushed thru!
Hi, I am from the Bronx as well and my little 4 x 4 candle business space is shrinking with all of the supplies I have purchase. I am slowly taking over my husband's space and shifting him into the closet :-). Can't wait to relocate out of state and create a separate "She Shed" in my backyard. Would love to meet up!
Love the video. New subscriber. Similar setup but in Brooklyn with a 4 year old and my boyfriend lol. Working a 9-5 too. Whew! The struggle is real
Ohh wow! You might have it tougher than me but don’t give up! It’s tiring but so worth it if you love what you do.
Hey. I am also a candle maker from NYC. I have to admit, you really know how to use small space and keep it clean.. lol. All of my supplies are on the dining room table, closet, and room. I organize everything here and there, and it becomes a mess soon after. It really discourages me not to even being creative most time.. ( feng shui)
Thanks I know it’s discouraging at times, but def keep at it. Dedicate 1 day out of the week just to cleaning/organizing. I think I can blame my OCD on being a Virgo lol
Great video. Insightful. Thanx
Thanks for watching!!
Awesome setup! How do you know how much of the oil to put in the wax? I saw hope you just squeeze it in without weighing in.
Finally!!!!! 🙌🏻
Hi, so nice to find you in this video. Thank you for shearing your ideas. I’m just planning to start my own candle business. I’m glad that you are in NY. Will it be possible to share some tips on legal process?
Thanks for talking Moore
my first apartment was 750sqft, and I didnt even have room for my pantry items. I can literally NOT imagine running my candle business out of it! however yours is a lot more open concept with way more storage but still, crazy to think about!
I was soo grateful I had all this storage. I think that’s what convinced me we could make it work. LOL
@@UrbanWanderlustStudios for sure, storage makes BIGGEST difference in small spaces! youre such a boss for making it work no matter the challenge!
Hi there! May I know where do you buy the candle jar?
Hi, where can u buy the wick centering tools? Thanks
The plastic ones are from a company no longer in business but I’ve seen pple sell them on Etsy
Nicely Done! If you don't mind, where did the desk come from? Thank you.
Thanks! It’s from Ikea. It’s called the BROR
haha! The views will getcha!
Lol
can you tell me at 9.40s, what did you put in the wax pot? Thank you!
I added the fragrance oil
This was a awesome video! You are so organized. I can’t wait to get my candle studio organized and set up.
I am curious though, how much space do you have for groceries and food in your cabinets?
Haha thanks! Thankfully it’s just me and my husband so we don’t need too much but all of the white cabinet’s underneath the candle storage is where I stored all the food and plates etc.
@@UrbanWanderlustStudios I see that you’ve moved. After watching your video I was motivated to get my candle space organized. I bought some shelves and containers. So I’m working on that now. So thank you!
Where did you get the wick setting device?
Candle science
Love your video! 💕 Can you provide the link to the printer you use for the labels you put on your candles. Thank you in advance! 🥰
thanks for watching! www.primera.com/lx500c-color-label-printer-config.html
What do we need as far as license and permits for selling and starting candle business if you don't mind. thanks
what were you using to press the wick in that jar? I didn't see it linked.
oops thanks! its a wick setter from candle science. Here's the link.

💁🏾♂️💪🏾Nice
Where to buy fragrance oil?
what kind of wax melter are you using?? I want to get something like that!
The company that sells it is completely sold out (www.soylitecandlesupplies.com), but you can also get it from Amazon (Large Melting Pot: amzn.to/3xDCCxm ) you HAVE to change the pouring spout to metal, because it comes with a plastic one and it'll melt with all the heat.
Hi there! I’m trying to find candle makers in nyc, I plan on having my own candle business but I’m struggling to find any resources on llc for a business in nyc, do you have any comments on how to register your name and business in nyc? Some people say it’s more in depth than other states
Yes there’s a lot of steps to incorporating your business. Checkout my FREE Candle Business Startup Guide for tips or my Supplier Handbook for direct links to where you can LLC your biz: stan.store/UrbanWanderlust
Wow I didn’t even know I could just get a label printer. How do you like it? I noticed you have different sizes. I’m about to go do some research. I’m a little annoyed that I didn’t know about this before I just bought a printer lol
I didn't know either at first. I have the Primera LX500C, its expensive but worth it if your making huge quantities of candles. Plus I just landed a huge wholesale account and wanted more professional looking labels :)
What sizes of gift set boxes do you have?
Hi! I mainly use 3 different sizes depending on what's being purchased. Everything is linked above!
what type of software / printer do you use to create your labels? a wise man once said: "Where there is a will, there is a way" Keep it up! Thank you for your videos.
haha thanks. Currently using Canva - super easy
hi
