I love your video style just exactly how it is: some candle making, some packing, some talking and some music with no talking. It's the perfect combo IMO! I'm in the process of testing to open my own skin care and candle business and you are such an inspiration ❤ I'm so glad I found your channel 🥰

Honestly, I agree with you. The silent videos with voice over is preferable for me because it decreases any need to edit or reshoot any mistakes. It’s probably easier for you also because While you’re watching the video you can do the voice over. But whatever makes you comfortable, I’m just so thankful & grateful for the info that you pass along to us.

Good Morning, I’ve always wanted to open a candle /soap business. I have watched a few of your videos. If you are open to suggestions?? I’m all about saving time lol. I’m a nurse and it’s all about time management isn’t it. There seems to be many steps to preparing the jars before pouring. I have a suggestion that would save you some time when it comes to labeling the bottom of your jars/tins, ready ?? Lol. Open the box from the bottom, you can label all the jars and tins while they are in the box, so you are touching them one less time ?? I hope it helps you. I do like the silent videos. Good luck with your business, it looks like you are there. Scott

@@ElectroAnnie I think they might be sold out of the one I use. The difference between the LX500c (the one I have) and the lx500 is that the “c” means it has a cutter that cuts the paper for you. That’s all. Otherwise you’d have to rip it yourself using the metal teeth on the printer

I use soy wax which takes 1 week to cure (you can cure for longer if you like). This video was taped over a few days + time it takes to ship to it's destination = 1 week. I time everything out. But to each their own, some makers only cure for a few days others a few weeks. See what works for you and your wax type.

@daniellecarder3092 3 ай бұрын

I am happy I found you! Watching thru all of your vids. I think you mentioned working w/ soy. That is what I am currently doing and I have added 2% beeswax to help. I still have issues w/ cooling and sink holes some. I like the idea of the heat gun but the darkening of the wicks and the swirl that's left behind drives me nuts. Did you have those same issues? Any suggestions? Thanks so much!

@UrbanWanderlustStudios 3 ай бұрын

Keep the heat gun away from the wick. Only point towards the edge and it will slowly melt the entire top. Or you can try holding g the heat gun further away from the top at a lower level- takes longer to heat/smooth tops, but helps keep your wick intact.

@daniellecarder3092 3 ай бұрын

@@UrbanWanderlustStudios Thank you! I will try that! Did you have issues with the heat gun leaving the shiny swirl in the wax? I might be overthinking it. I’m sure customers won’t even notice. I’m trying not to baby them too much because I feel like it’s impractical as I grow.

Focus at perfecting one product that a time and then move on when you think you can take on more. You don’t want to spread yourself too thin.
