This woman is crushing it!! So wonderful to see this. Don't listen to naysayers that the economy is bad, sales are bad, markets are bad---believe in what you see and believe in yourself ❤ Congratulations Kenzie! Wishing you enormous success!!

I'm loving all these different candles businesses you have been highlighting, Wade. So great to see people succeeding and hear their stories. Great job, Kenzie, it all looks amazing!! I love the scent of the month idea too. Keep up the great work

You both have great prices for retail space rentals! Where I am in Massachusetts it's $15 a square foot! I was looking at one place that was 1,200 ft²... There is no way I could afford that right now!

Hi Wade, I just watched this wonderful interview and it's so encouraging! She mentioned a website that she had purchased her towel warmer and engraver on and it sounded like she said BidSight but I can't find anything on the web. Do you happen to have the website?

May I ask where you got the storage cabinets from please and Ty? 😊

Wade, I used to make candles years ago, really only sold to friends. I'd like to get back into to making them for myself and maybe sell to co-workers and friends but when I think of all the testing I went through and money spent back then it makes me not want to go through all that again. I used to use Joy wax from Natures Garden, never wanted to use straight paraffin. Is there anyway to cut down on all the testing and throwing money out the window doing it? Maybe a good guide for a starting point? I'd love to use candle tins since that would probably cut costs when I have them shipped to me. Would love advice from you or any candle makers on here.😊

thanks for this video. great job to you both. impressive!!I think the best follow up is to actually see what kind of money she is making after a year or so.. will that shop size be for a long time or will she expand? Im super interested because I'm in a small town too.. I currently am a vendor in someone else's place and I'm not selling much but I'm trying to expand.. I still have to keep a real job at the moment..

Great suggestion!

Hi Wade, how successful are soy bubble candles, mine completely melt in 3 hrs and the wax scatters completely, is there a way to help them sustain longer, plz advise coz they look adorable and i want to make them work.

Hi Wade I’m hoping you can help me! I’ve researched and researched but can’t find an exact answer 😫 I’ve been making candles with IGI 6006 wax and they keep sending off a horrid stream of black smoke/soot (not all the time, but more often than not). I’ve tried going down wick sizes, keeping wick trimmed and also added less FO. I’m still getting sooting. 😫😫 Do you think I should add stearic acid in?? I don’t know what else to do, other than go and use a whole new wax. 😢😢 Any suggestions? Thank you in advance.

Goals! Just finding a nice storefront where I live runs $2500+. I couldn’t imagine finding a space that nice for $550.

Same. Lol

I have a question I am just getting started, today I made a batch and added way to much fragrance, so can I remedy those candles and more wax an re pour them?

Wade hi. Enjoying your videos very much. I want to start making candles but it seems here in South Africa we lack some of the more expensive or specialized equipment such as the presto pots and really beautiful containers. I am looking online but feel overwhelmed. There are many items from the East but I am not sure about security or reliability. I suspect that th South African candle supplies stores could trace these items for me, but I don't want the extra time and expense that would entail. Could you recommend any reliable supply companies for me?

Have you done any videos for 5 minute crafts candle stuff? That would be an amazingly funny video

Hi! I'm Kenzie's mom and work with her in the shop. Everything that we use are USA products. The wax is all natural wax with no hardeners or additives. All our scents are carcinogen free. We Source them with companies that will either formulate them special for us or with companies that only offer clean scents. They are very clean with a very smooth burn!

@debstaggs1425

You are probably talking about the myth about paraffin waxes. google or use youtube and go look up paraffin vs soy wax, this channel has one and so do a few more candle makers, but Wade's is the best of course.

@shannonharper5511

10 ай бұрын

We simply choose not to use the additives are hardeners and our candles. We feel that we get a much smoother burn without any wax hardeners or additives.

As someone who is doing this as a hobbyist, can I sell the samples I’ve made to friends and co-workers without any type of insurance? I know if I’m a business I would need it, but I’m not close to being there yet.
