Hey imgur, Rachel here, your resident crafter-in-chief just checking in with some holiday vibes. I wish I could have named this blend Basic Bitch... but you know, gotta be pc and all that shit.
I have been pouring about 100 of these Christmas tree candles per week since AUGUST attempting to get ahead (I'm absolutely never ahead). MANIACS were asking for this blend in JULY. That's a no from me, fam.
So many beautiful hours of my life have been spent in my booth. There's no better office view than my park on St. Simons Island GA.
If you ever see my booth "in the wild" come say hi!!
SHAQ LOVES SMALL BIZ! After we snapped this photo he looked at me and said USE THAT. Yes sir, Shaq, all over it! He was a SUPER nice guy. He did take that "Shaq-sized soap" home with him!
I may or may nor have grabbed his butt BY ACCIDENT. He looks down at me, asks my name, and then I hear his booming voice proclaim, RACHEL'S TOUCHING MY BUTT Y'ALL!!! We all shared a laugh. Short people problems!! I met Shaq when he was filming the Small Business Saturday commercial at one of my retailers (The Beehive Atlanta). Running a small business provides some very cool life moments.
Interested imgurians can find my shop links in my bio ❤️
Cat tax: Jerry thanks you for stopping by our workshop.
Stay weird, imgur.

You CAN make basic bitch candle!
EnigmaWearingHeels
I'm going to make some comedy candle labels in January when I have some free time. Reminder set in my calendar already ?
nygreenguy
Here in NY 'basic bitch' would have sold out right away
Elbowdeepinabeepbeepsheep
I’d 100% buy a basic bitch candle and gift it to a friend I know.
OctaveRift
Took the title too literally. My fat ass thought it was thai tea
EnigmaWearingHeels
Imgurians always be hungry when watching my videos! Corn, cous cous, Boba tea, thai tea... you all need a snack! ?

*far away whisper* put your dick in it.

I love seeing a business refuse to make Christmas products outside of the holiday season. Warms my heart.

Christmas Tree candle for my wife, order completed
EnigmaWearingHeels
Thank youuuu you're going to have one very happy wife! Will ship out in a day or two ?
likeabowser
TIL people make candles out of couscous
EnigmaWearingHeels
It's beeswax (would you mind your own??? /s) the little beads melt wayyyy faster than the big blocks.

Shaq is a national treasure. He does an INSANE amount of charity work and all-around pleasantry, especially with no cameras watching.
EnigmaWearingHeels
A guy came in with his tot + Shaq was playing with the kid. The dad looked like he was going to BURST with pride. Such a good human!

#1 Dude, I think it'd sell tons more if you named it "Basic Bitch"...I know I'd buy it based on that name. ;)
EnigmaWearingHeels
Gonna print some funny candle labels in January for imgurians!! ❤️

ItHappenedInThe20thCentury
Nice post, nice candles. Nice ACCIDENTAL butt-grabbing too!
RVAALLDAY
I didn’t know melting orbeez made candles. Seriously what are the cheese ball looking things that dissolve
EnigmaWearingHeels
It's beeswax!
eb9055
Hi do you sell online??
EnigmaWearingHeels

Make a special line of offensive candles and you can use the basic bitch one ;)
EnigmaWearingHeels
It's definitely on my to do list!! RBF candle will be a remedy for your resting bitch face... busy launching a 3rd biz but maybe next year!!
Morbidly0btuse
Do eeeeeet.
EnigmaWearingHeels
So going to! Setting a reminder to email my graphic designer about it in January when I will have time and ability to make it happen!
AlrightlyThen
Why is the tea forbidden. You should be able to drink that
echoingwhisper
Slightly disappointed. Not how to make Mac n Cheese, or corn, or even tea! Why Yes, it is time for dinner.
EnigmaWearingHeels
Every time I post I make hungry imgurians mad ?
Apothecarius
You cooked that corn so long it melted.
EnigmaWearingHeels
Oh no! I'll have to melt it again now to maie it right... *lights wick*
alexmooncross
I just ordered one of your Christmas tree candles! So pumped.

Bitch has become a word of empowerment, call the dam nothing "basic bitch" and I have a very good feeling it will sell like hot cakes.
EnigmaWearingHeels
I call myself Boss Bitch all the time! I'm going to have some fun labels printed in January when I have more time?
SweatyBawBag
Everyone is short people around Shaq
UkrainianBukkake
I wonder how big his wiener is.
Emjayen
I vaguely remember a quote from Shaq on the topic; something like "big nigga, average sized dick"
PenchBoy
I'm his height. Definitely not his build though
sleepinggreenidea
...and all businesses are small businesses to him?
gtollie
Shaq for scale ?
EnigmaWearingHeels
I'm short people around regular people, too
lucindamarie18
Remember that good things come in small packages...and wishes to yiu for a good selling your wares season..
EnigmaWearingHeels
TotallyNotSarcastic
If you’re short around regular people, were you standing on something for this photograph?
EnigmaWearingHeels
I had heels on that day ?
DickeyBirdie
"Small business woman" Heh, cute pun.
EnigmaWearingHeels
certainlynotaserialkiller
i would buy a candle named basic bitch.
EnigmaWearingHeels
Next year I'm going to get some new labels designed just for imgurians...
KareemCheezItz
The imgur line would sell!
certainlynotaserialkiller
Step 1: know your audience.
MostLikelyNotWearingPants
Basic Fall Bitch. Aromas of pumkin latte, wet leaves and Uggs ?
The3rdwheel
should make one named " Karen " and make it the most agressive smelling candle you can produce
EnigmaWearingHeels
I have to be able to work with these ingredients! It can't be too aggressive ?
The3rdwheel
haha. true enough.
RedLanternGrodd
I really love your posts. I always dream of treating my lovely wife to your many products. I dream of being in a place we can splurge.
EnigmaWearingHeels
Thank you! Please pm me your address and I will treat you to a lil something ❤️ I remember those days all too well.
RedLanternGrodd
I feel deathly guilty. I've followed you for some time and you work way too hard for me to accept charity.
EnigmaWearingHeels
Come onnnn just think of it as an extra secret Santa. Everyone works hard. Everyone deserves joy. Inbox is open if you change your mind!
sassymcsassypants
Doot
SacrificialClam
I second that
Cpthornswoggler
Cool. Whenever I try to make candles they sink in the middle around the wick.
JustYourFriendlyNeighborhoodSpiderman
Use a heat gun after to get the top flat
EnigmaWearingHeels
Doesn't always work, especially for a beeswax candle (beeswax usually caverns when cooling and needs to be filled in).
Twinklepot
Mine always smoke, even when I trim the wicks
TK421isAFK
My former one used to smoke after I trimmed my wick, but I couldn't stand the smell.
EnigmaWearingHeels
Might be incompatible materials with your wax base or using too much fragrance. There's a lot to making a successful + safe candle!
EnigmaWearingHeels
Or you could be using too large of a wick size... again so many variables.
Twinklepot
Thank you
EnigmaWearingHeels
Either adjust your pour temperature (cooler) or leave space to do a small pour over again after it has cooled initially.
LurlineLumpkin
Is that what you did here? I typically pour all at once. Is it better to pour a little, let cool (completely?) and fill again?
EnigmaWearingHeels
I always leave space for an extra pour because beeswax tends to cavern when cooling and needs filling in.
Cpthornswoggler
Thanks I'll try that. Im only melting down the misses leftover bits of wax. It's fun melting stuff. I usually just burn them from the bottom
EnigmaWearingHeels
please don't combine waxes that you don't know what's in them. Not all fragrance/wax blends are compatible- may give off toxic smoke.
TharrickLawson
well shit, I'd best stop doing that then

Just buy kiddo a candle making kit next time ? can't know what you don't know, friend. Don't worry over it.
munchabeexodus79
I had no idea that was a thing, I’ll stop doing it, I usually make frankencandles with left over melts
HeraldOfTheBadger
Excellent advice *goes back to forgetting to wear a respirator for everything he's ever done with resin*
EnigmaWearingHeels
??? heard (and hello fellow artist!!)
