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.

FP EDIT: Thanks for the love, imgur. As per request below, you can find my online shop at www.rachelmadeproducts.com and "imgur" might be a code for 25% off...

Shaq is a national treasure. He does an INSANE amount of charity work and all-around pleasantry, especially with no cameras watching.

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!

Cool. Whenever I try to make candles they sink in the middle around the wick.

Doesn't always work, especially for a beeswax candle (beeswax usually caverns when cooling and needs to be filled in).

3 years ago | Likes 6 Dislikes 0

Mine always smoke, even when I trim the wicks

3 years ago | Likes 6 Dislikes 0

My former one used to smoke after I trimmed my wick, but I couldn't stand the smell.

3 years ago | Likes 3 Dislikes 0

Might be incompatible materials with your wax base or using too much fragrance. There's a lot to making a successful + safe candle!

3 years ago | Likes 25 Dislikes 0

Or you could be using too large of a wick size... again so many variables.

3 years ago | Likes 15 Dislikes 0

Thank you

3 years ago | Likes 1 Dislikes 0

Either adjust your pour temperature (cooler) or leave space to do a small pour over again after it has cooled initially.

3 years ago | Likes 110 Dislikes 0

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?

3 years ago | Likes 4 Dislikes 0

I always leave space for an extra pour because beeswax tends to cavern when cooling and needs filling in.

3 years ago | Likes 6 Dislikes 0

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

3 years ago | Likes 37 Dislikes 1

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.

well shit, I'd best stop doing that then
