@@CarsintheFuture_ Hi, I appreciate that. Unfortunately I am SO backed up and busy all the time running my business that individual mentorships are not really an option for me at this time. I just do not have the time without cutting out other things. Which would mean it would ve very expensive mentoring for me to be able to do that. I appreciate the interest, just not enough time in the day for me which is why I run this channel and groups for now. :)

The biggest issue I have with candles is after I light them. Every single time a portal erupts and out pops a demon. Not a bad issue except they don't leave when the candle is gone, constantly talking, eating, and refusing to play a game a Risk. I kid, but informative video, like usual.

I watched a video where the person was complaining about a well know candle company. Her candle was not burning evenly. The first thing I noticed was the top of the jar was black from soot. I cannot imagine if that happens a lot because is not healthy for one thing but the mess it can cause in the house. Again, one of the most well known companies made this candle. I burned many in my day. Could it be from the wick not trimmed properly or it was under a draft, fan maybe. She did not mention the soot???

@@kman8271 beeswax is good to blend with waxes, but its such a hard wax its usually used for standalone pillar candles. Many mix it with some soy or coconut though to make it soft enough for a container candle. I just dont use much beeswax as it doesnt hold scent well (has a distinct scent in itself). Its just a different kind of candle, nothing wrong with it... just not the kind i make typically
