I was so anxious to get started I probably only did the bare minimum of research 🤦🏻‍♀️ plus what research I did do was all mixed and it’s hard to know which way is the best. I think Lone Star has great oils, I think I just wasn’t very good at picking my fragrances lol. People do rave about SFWP, the same way they rave about BISI. Hopefully sometime in the near future I will be trying out SFWP. Good luck! I hope your first batch comes out amazing 🤗

You’re welcome again 😉

Thanks for suggestions, I’ll have to give them a try!

This is a commonly argued topic. Many say you can use them immediately and others say waiting 7-14 days is a must! I have done both and I personally believe that waiting made a big difference in mine. If you wanted to test for yourself make a jar and use some beads right after they are dry, hang it and let the other beads sit for a week or two and then make another with those and hang that one in your car to see if you notice a difference. I only wait 7 days on mine. The people that say you don’t have to wait say that there is no chemical reaction that happens after the beads are dry unlike with candle making where you let the candle cure due to a chemical reaction that happens over time, I believe this statement but why I think it helps with aroma beads is the extra time allows the oils to sink into the beads further. I feel like when they are baked immediately the oil has only absorbed into the surface of the beads so when you bake them a lot of that oil is burnt of, when you wait the oil has gone deep into the beads and less scent is lost in the oven, this also applies to when it’s in a hot car.

If stored properly they both have a very long shelf life. Some that have been doing it longer than me say shelf life for beads is 12+ months. For already baked I’m not completely sure but the longest I’ve ever left one sit is 3 months and it still smelled just as strong as the day I packaged it ☺️

@@FarmhouseDesigns thank you so so much ☺️ and thank you for the helpful awesome videos much appreciated!!

I recommend Buy It Ship It, I had used other oils before them and was immediately impressed the first time I purchased their oils. I’ve even tried a few other places since then and BISI still seems like the best. Wellington candle company was the only other one who had oils comparable to BISI in strength and lasting power but they are quite pricey.

@@FarmhouseDesigns what would their name be for black ice

Absolutely! Thank you for having such great oils and even better customer service! I saw what y’all offered to the girl in the freshie group when her cat used her beads as a litter box 😱 reaching out and going above and beyond for someone in a pinch shows true character!
