Thankkkkkk you Ashley🌸🌸🌼
Perfect timing…I just spent the past week researching and ordering all kinds of things many of which you talked about. I really wanted custom tissue paper and looked at that company. I thought it was really pricey, but I didn’t take into consideration that the sheets can be divided.

Oh yes! Divide them up! Or just stamp until you are ready!
Thank you for your insight. You are so right about reusing boxes shipped to you. I do it all the time. Also don't forget you can get free shipping supplies from the USPS if you are based in the United States. I love what you include with your shipment. They give your product and business and nice personal touch.

Thanks for the reminder on the local shipping supplies.. they need our business too 😄 Already got my stamp at zazzle soooo awesome!! I love my Cricut! Spendy but so versatile! Mad they came out with a new one right after I got mine 😄🤣 No Issue sounds amazing! I have another side business i use poly mailers for but I would like bright colors. Hope they have more than black! Thanks for sharing!

Thank you for sharing your process and your discoveries, Ashley! This is definitely helpful for new entrepreneurs. (Incidentally, "duplicitous" means deceitful, and is not related to the word "duplicate.")

I'm definitely not in the best spot to recommend wicks! I do find that the guides that candle suppliers produce based on specific wax are a great place to start. Also, don't be afraid to remove a booster.
Hi! Thank you for this information! The link you provided for us is from Amazon. Regarding the reviews, do they bug you or have any doubts buying their products? I feel like bad reviews from Amazon makes me doubt getting a certain quality of boxes. What do you do and how do you know which box is useful?

Honestly, I don't pay much attention to reviews unless its a pricey purchase. But don't follow me on that, ha!

Are you still using Wooden Wick vessels? Has their customer service improved? I just love their vessels so much.
@UpsideGoodsCo

I am still using them. Their ship times and some customer service issues have gotten better. There is still a huge disconnect with transparency in my personal opinion.
Hi Ashley... just a thought. What if the information on the last card you show (at 12:20) with ideas on upcycling the candle vessel, was printed on the tissue paper you showed??? Save a card and a step?? Just an idea! Best to you.

Hello new subscriber here✋🏻One question do you feel like people like more to buy a candle in a tint or candle in a vessel? I want to start a candle buisness and are looking for vessels or tint to put my candle in. I was just wondering if you think it matters? Because the tint are more cheaper than the vessels :) and would be better to start with vessels but i dont know if people like them or not :) thank you🙏🏼

I can’t really say as I have not tinted any of my candles so unfortunately, I am not a good resource for offering insight on that one.
where do you put the prepaid label on the flat rate envelope?

Thanks so much for the information on your videos and your honest presentations. They are very helpful. Tip: Take a look at the meaning of the word "duplicitous", which you used several times in the video. I think the word you're looking for is "duplicative". I usually wouldn't mention this, but because of the negative meaning associated with the first word, I thought you might want to make the change.

Yep! You are exactly right 🤣🤣🤣 I am a repeat offender in misplacing words and just attaching what I think the meaning should be and using them as such. Thank you for teaching me something new today! I appreciate it!

Duplicitous doesn't mean what you think it means. You may be going for 'redundant.'
