I'm soooo so so beyond grateful for these wholesale orders cause my Shopify and Etsy are DRY. There are so many external factors (cough cough the economy) that are out of our control and make it very difficult for small businesses... but we're persevering!

I love the day in the life videos bc it makes it more realistic of the thought process and everything else small business owners may be doing.

I love day in the life vlogs, they are so fun. Especially now that the holidays are coming up and we get to see more behind the scenes of what you do to prep for popups and launches. I'm def here for it!

Love how honest you are, it shows that even though you have many wholesale orders and collaborations how real owning a small business is(not having enough funds for materials to fill orders) I remember that with my old business as well. Also, SEND the emails. I always thought emails were annoying but building brand loyalty(like I have to MILKY) I would love emails ! Especially announcing the beginning and end of launches for certain scents, so I know when to purchase by!

@laciej 11 ай бұрын

I know I definitely need to! Even during Labor Day weekend I didn’t send an email for the sale I had. It was a last minute decision but I literally still could have done it 🫠 I need to be much better at them.

I could watch you do anything. I'm not sure if that's love or creepy 😆 I have a couple of suggestions for videos if you take them (if not, please ignore). I would love to know how you make stickers and the other one is how you mix fragrances. Not your actual recipes but how you decide what goes well together and how much of each

@laciej 11 ай бұрын

Hahaha nope not creepy!! At least, I don’t think so 👀 for my stickers I usually just take a really clear picture, whiteout the back with procreate pocket, and then I usually do a cartoon filter on it bc I’m actually that lazy! But it’s not a bad idea to make a video about it! Mixing fragrances is another good idea too ❤

Okay so I bought the Golden Leaves *Cedar candle yesterday at the Local Gather… Burned it for a couple hours last night, loved it.. Today I worked all day on my computer, had it sitting on the table by me, burned it a couple hours this morning, loved it more.. LOL Now just sitting by it not burning it and it smells freaking amazing still!!! This is my first experience honestly of buying a handmade candle from someone besides Yankee Candle or Bath and Body Works and actually had a great experience. Usually the scents aren’t strong enough to smell them and I always feel like I wasted my money. There was something about the care that you take in making your candles that you show in your videos that made me take the leap of faith again and buy a handmade candle. So happy I did!!!! I will definately be ordering more when I get home…. Mean while I probably have the best smelling hotel room of any at this resort LOL!!!😅 This candle is on it’s way to Seattle with me, then on an Alaskan Cruise and then to Las Vegas and then to Orlando Florida before it arrives home in Jacksonville, Florida 😂 By then im thinking it will just be a pretty vessel that will be reused at home for Im thinking pens on my desk. Just wanted to let you know that it’s the small things in life that make people happy and your candles do that! 😊

I am so happy you’re loving it!!! Ugh my eyes are misty. A traveling candle… who knew?!? I appreciate this comment more than you’ll ever know ❤️ thank you so much for your kind words!!

Enjoyed this day in the life or days in the life video…. I totally get the delicate balance between selling products and having the extra cash to buy the supplies to make the products.. 😊 And the 107 degrees you mentioned at the end of the video is well no joke LOL Im learning that I like the dry heat here more than the Humid Florida heat I have when we are at home but at the same time 107 or 115 is well HOT!! No matter if it’s humid or not LOL we are rounding out our last week of being in the Arizona area before we head to Seattle then an Alaskan cruise which will be completely the opposite of our last month and half LOL why I planned a desert then Alaska cruise all in the same trip I will never know LOL going to try to get out to Local Nomad this week and pick up one of your candles. 😊

Hey how do you clean the melting pot for different scents or do you just have one for each scent?

@tamiyoung2036 10 ай бұрын

Can u do a tutorial on how u make your room sprays, or can u make a video on how to make them, and we can pay for the tutorial.

@latricejohnson3210 11 ай бұрын

Happy Monday and Labor Day!! I agree,I pay for it, I need to utilize it. I don't think I have nothing supplies wise listed in Inventora.

@laciej 11 ай бұрын

Happy Monday and Labor Day!! Sometimes it feels like an extra “task” but it would still make our lives so much easier if we just put time aside every time we get shipment and every time we’re scheduled to create. It forces us to be more streamlined which is hard to do once you’re used to doing it whenever it feels most convenient!

@laciej This is true. I always say I'm going to do it, and then life happens. Or, I've started making candles and Oops, and there goes my inventory count. 😂🤦🏽‍♀️
