Photos from this past Saturday’s booth set up. Unfortunately, I had a hiccup with my table covers then proceeded to injure myself rushing and lost most of my set up time. đŸ€ŠđŸŒâ€â™€ïž In order to be ready to sell on time, I had to skip assembly of my display stands. I improvised and made it work but was disappointed I wasn’t able to put my best foot forward with my new booth setup. Some days are like that! Throw on a smile and carry on. Overall, it was a great event. The big movers for the day were the diffusers, room sprays and Max and Moo items.

Sunday Safety Message!
*Candles (from any manufacturer) should never be burned in excess of 4 hours at a time. (2 hours for dough bowls)
*Make sure candles are on a fire safe surface because containers can get hot. Glass trivets can be purchased for 1.25 at all Dollar Tree locations in the glass or kitchen sections.
*Never leave candles unattended and be aware of the surroundings such as curtains, magazines or newspapers and most importantly children and pets.
đŸ”„đŸ”„đŸ”„I offer every scent in a wickless option and use the highest concentration of fragrance the wax allows, melt and pour at very specific temps so that every candle has an excellent ‘cold throw’. When you bring my candle home, it should provide scent to the immediate area without having to be lit for several weeks.
If you want to avoid the flame all together, candle warmers are a great option! They usually have timers that can be set to go off automatically and extend the life of your candle because the wax and fragrance are warmed and not consumed. I highly recommend them to my clients! They come in a wide variety of styles and colors and can be purchased from Amazon or Walmart for under $20. All of my jars can be used with top lit warmers.
