Yes to more videos on the in depth candle testing sciencey stuff please!😁

[@earthglow]

Noted! Thank you for letting me know what you’d find helpful.

[@dringyisdingy]

Thank you so much for all your knowledge. I have had analysis paralysis and was so scared of failure and paying so much for insurance and not selling anything. Testing my beginner set of candles finally got done and I made a handful of sales. Baby steps! Best wishes for a smooth and restful recovery when the time comes!

[@earthglow]

It is so awesome that you have taken those first steps!! Hang in there. I promise you, it gets easier :)

[@dallashorner]

I love that you are so willing to share your knowledge to help others with their candle making. I’m pretty new & struggle with the Math & recipes.. LOL Thank you, your content is so helpful & appreciated!

[@earthglow]

Community over competition always. I have several math videos for candle making as well as some free downloadable worksheets in the descriptions of those videos. Let me know if you need help finding them.

[@dallashorner]

@ Thank you so much!

[@lizretzer]

Sometimes taking a step back gives you room to leap! I’m so proud of you, your journey, your business, and your dedication to your passions. Keep up the great work. ❤

[@earthglow]

This comment was really helpful to me. I have a tendency to add a lot of things to my plate and get frustrated when I cannot healthily maintain all of them even when I am continually adding more on 🤣 it sounds ridiculous but it’s true

[@xyngchic]

I’m so happy for you! My kiddo (FTM) is still on the fence about bottom surgery. I know this procedure will go smoothly. Wishing you a speedy recovery. Hugs

[@earthglow]

I'm so glad you're happy for me! Thanks for the kind wishes, I truly appreciate it. If they’d ever like to chat with me or have questions, please reach out to [e-mail] and I’d be glad to give him my cell. I’m an open book for people like this!

[@amandunn]

You’re awesome Allen! Wishing you the best on your surgical journey!

[@earthglow]

Thanks so much! I appreciate it!

[@ashleyfrizzell4916]

Appreciate you sharing your health journey! I had no idea. A dear friend was on a similar journey a couple of years back and is living such a fulfilled and authentic life now! I'm so stoked for you. Also, I took 2 semesters off school ages ago when in uni, and it was the best thing I ever did. I didn't have a company at that time, but I learned so much about myself regardless. All the best!

[@earthglow]

Thank you very much for this comment and your kind words, Ashley. I also really appreciate what you shared about yourself. I often feel like I’m “slacking” if I try to put myself first and this comment really means a lot.

[@amyadams4521]

Keep the info coming on your wax reviews, wick recommendations, and FO reviews. So helpful!!!! And greatly appreciated, thank you! ❤

[@theycallmesaucy]

Love the science portion along with the scent reviews (and dig the heat gun refining tips). Welcome to TX (even if it's briefly). Sending you calming and smooth healing vibes for this next portion of your journey. ❤

[@earthglow]

Thanks for your kind words and for letting me know what you’d like to see more of on the channel! I really appreciate it.

[@myrriahlavin1035]

I would love to see a video on more candle science and waxes. Love you videos and really look forward to them.

[@earthglow]

Thanks for the feedback! I am always looking for new ideas for videos so this is super helpful.

[@iAmPrincess]

Sending love your way! Praying that your surgeries are successful and that recovery is quick and smooth! ❤

I really appreciate your kind words and prayers! 🙏

[@ZiennaTayler-l5t]

Thank you so much Allen! I always enjoy and appreciate all of your knowledge and helpfulness. Love and light to you!

[@NadyVlogs]

I would like you to share your wax and wick tests, it is an excellent way to help and give knowledge of what works best. I would appreciate it very much. Since 16/17 closed, it has been difficult for me to find the perfect wax.

[@pattylott5335]

I love watching u it’s a breath of fresh air thanks for being a great guy

[@earthglow]

I'm glad you enjoyed this one! Really appreciate this comment😊

[@traceyknight9678]

Yes, I would like for you to make a more video/content about the different waxes and wick combination. Can you get into the science of candle burning in detail in another video Thank you.

[@jessicamorrissette4182]

Hi Allen! I would LOVE if you'd do a video with CS new CA in their Sonoma! 😊🤞

[@earthglow]

That is a great idea! I'll see what I can do.

[@ParisSunset]

@@earthglowI would too! That or whatever coconut, coco-soy wax or coco-apricot wax you recommend. (Also a video about the pros & cons of different waxes).

[@jessicamorrissette4182]

@@earthglow Oh man, I think my heart just skipped a beat! That would be amazing! 🤗💛

[@brandynkemper7719]

Yes! Please more science behind the process and different products you use :)

[@earthglow]

Noted! I will definitely incorporate more science into my future videos 😊

[@annamyshkina]

Thank you! Its nice to take a break from a formulations of my candles for last 3 days😊. Thank you!

[@earthglow]

I'm glad you could take a break too! Glad if you enjoyed this one 😄

[@yoleisysantana9842]

Thank you so much for sharing with us. I would like a video, explaining how you prepare your wax blend, soy wax, bee wax, and coconut oil 76. Also, I have a question, when you order from AFI, do they request documents? Sending love your way!

[@earthglow]

Thanks for letting me know what’s most helpful to you! I cannot remember if they require any specific documents but they do have the 10lb minimum on each oil and possibly now the $2,000 minimum for a total order.

[@yoleisysantana9842]

@@earthglow THANK YOU 🥰

[@annelucas8555]

Thank you , as usual you gave me some great advice. Using a heat gun to clean out the rest of the wax works great. 💜

[@earthglow]

I’m so glad this was helpful!! You can even use your spatula for the pouring pitchers to move the paper towel around. Keeps your hands cleaner 😁

[@lkwittmayer]

I absolutely adore you, ❤. For your large vessel what wick are you using to triple your candle?

[@earthglow]

aww thank you!! All my specific formulas are available in our Patreon which is always linked in the description.

[@meganbwise]

Very interested in more information on paraben and bees wax free coconut soy or coconut apricot blends. Particularly with wood wicks. 😊

[@meganbwise]

And don’t worry about us…take care of YOU! Sending love and health and joy to you. 💕

[@earthglow]

Thanks for sharing what would be most helpful to you!!! I also really appreciate your kind words.

[@keeb98]

Hi Allen! I don't think I've ever seen you use a lid for your candles. Have you noticed any scent loss from using only dust covers? I'm thinking of making the switch.

[@earthglow]

I have used lids however I don’t notice any difference in hot throw but I have noticed some difference in cold throw.

[@LaurenFahie]

It has been a pleasure watching your videos it motivated me to come out of my candle making rut.. I miss 1617 also... We all go through a mental space that we have to doje back from . I wish all the best with your procedure. Keep being the best you...❤.

[@earthglow]

I appreciate your kind words and support! 💛

[@MyLittleAngelsCandles]

How do you keep the tops of your candles smooth after using a heat gun my candles look swirling.? Good luck with your surgeries! Love your products they are beautiful! ❤

[@earthglow]

They can have some swirling but if you gradually heat the whole top it should minimize this and to me, I prefer the subtle “swirling” to the wax being uneven.

[@earthglow]

I really appreciate your kind words!

Thank you very much 💛✅🌱

[@jamesvanderbilt201]

Heard you mention Candle Science coco apricot wax. Do you have any recommendations for wicks? i tried the recommended LX but get really bad mushrooming. ECOs created soot. do you have experience with premier wicks, was thinking of trying them next.

[@antoniatanner7826]

I've heard wonders about HSPS wicks from hive and honey.

[@earthglow]

I have used and recommend using CDN or CD and my preference between those would be CDN.

Do you use ec26? I feel like not many people talk about ec26. Good luck and hope everything goes well with your surgery!! 💪🏼

[@doraharboyan2574]

Can you help me with making reed diffuser and base with out water please 😊,I use base for candlescience but not smell very strong. 😊😊😊❤

[@earthglow]

I can try! What fragrance are you using and what is the percentage? Also, how many reeds are you using and are you flipping them?

I love your jars

[@pattylott5335]

Where did u buy your jars

[@earthglow]

Thanks! I got them from 16/17 when they were in business but I do not currently have a supplier for these. I mentioned in the video that if anyone knows where to find them, please leave it in the comments because it would help a lot of us out.

[@Bornawesomejay]

@@earthglowI LOVE these vessels too! I only have 1 white and 1 black left from my 16/17 supply. Would love to find a vendor to source these from. The closest vessel I could find that is similar is the Paris vessel from General Wax in CA.

[@pawsoffriendship525]

Have you ever ordered scents from Vinevida ? I'm so curious about a couple of their scents. Quick question, are you taking all of us with you to the hospital? Obviously not to be in your personal business, but just to know your ok. Like have someone post a short, saying your out of surgery and doing well. I feel like if we support you, we should support you. My very best regardless ,
