[@poopypoopy75]

your business inspired me to start my own at 11! im 13 now and im still working on it

[@monicarazak]

amazing!!!

[@monicarazak]

whoops back-to-back videos🤗 hope you enjoy!!

[@joydiannne]

Monica, for the third scent of the nostalgia collection, you mentioned before that you also want to use Makesy's Maple Chai & Sweet Cream because it smells like maple syrup and it reminds you of eating pancakes in the morning. 🥞

[@Normalee123]

Hi Monica! Love your videos! Would you mind making a video on how you prepare/print your labels.

[@micaela.herrera]

Personally love the iridescent jar with the label, it's super cute. Also cotton candy could be another scent option. I do like the grass idea because it reminds me of kids playing outside paired with the other scents..

[@cicithebeast6772]

I don’t know if I’m too late lol but I vote to keep the different font for the nostalgia, it keeps them apart from the core collection and the font and colors keep it looking child-like for nostalgia. I do love your font and color combos for your core though! Don’t change it!

[@49lucky]

That fabric with the badmintons is so Palm Beach. Wow

[@nataliemarie2528]

Oh my gosh! I just ordered vanilla orchid as well. I also ordered sea salt & orchid,Golden santal,Sun washed,& bohemian rose. Im practicing with them as we speak. Thank you for sharing ❤

[@lvg0001]

That creamsicle sounds delicious! 😋 I like making mean creamsicle cocktails too🍹The mini candle sampler sets sounds like a great idea, I find samplers great for gifting and trying scents.

[@memorymakersunlimitedllc1217]

Strawberry shortcake for the 3rd!!!

[@sabilarosa]

Hi Monica, how about trying transparent labels for the iridescent jars, I think it'd draw the attention to the jar itself as it's already so pretty. Love your channel so much!

[@EmilyyMay]

This!

[@thankful1040]

Keep up the great inspiring work you do. May God continue to bless you with success and your heart desires too ❤

[@ChantelleArts]

the new scents sound so interesting 🥰

[@joydiannne]

I personally enjoy listening to your fragrance oil out-of-the-bottle reviews. Hoping you can do them regularly, especially during the arrival of new fragrance oil releases. 🖤

[@nicolealexandrabeauty3312]

If you start a Patreon I’ll sign up so fast 🤣 also I need that bow pouch!!

[@simplesimone4779]

you can do a makeup pouch to match the totes

[@Justcetriyaart]

I make prints for spoonflower. You can ask artist for different colors of a print if they don't have in stock

[@erikac5418]

Really enjoy watching your small business diaries!!

[@hannahhutchinson4282]

i love the matte label on the iridescent 🤍🤍 can’t wait for these to drop!

[@user-fe6xc8du5d]

Hey, I know it is more cost but I think a glossy clear label would be fabulous on the iridescent jars, especially the smaller ones :)

[@user-hl6zo6hh9c]

OMG THE STRAWBERRY 🍓😍yes girl

[@jessicastites9123]

I love making cold processed soap! It’s so amazing ❤ melt and pour is great too!

[@CapriceSoulsister67]

I'm here for the back-2-back vlogs!

[@monicarazak]

Yay!!!

[@EmilyyMay]

Is sorry 2 back to back vlogs!! I am living for it!!

[@Justcetriyaart]

Also, I'll look and see of you have any videos on product photography and setting up photohots

[@victoriadonaghey8636]

Love back to back vlogs 🥰 how are the 5am mornings going, Monica? I’ve been struggling and kinda made it a 6am thing instead 😂

[@EmilyyMay]

I think some good nostalgia scents good be some kind of maple/pancake scent or a bubblegum and Vannila scent which you could call a screwball ice cream.

[@redsandy001]

Monica. Can you tell us which wax you use and where you get it from? Thank you so much!

[@reneecato9330]

I love the music in your videos. What genre(s) do you use?

[@dunia8956]

Hi, How do you know how much inventory to bring to the show?

[@bravezoom]

how do the first pop-up shop ?

[@poopypoopy75]

Heyyy omg first

[@jernashapaul4181]

Do you mind sharing what printer you use?

[@monicarazak]

It's the EPSON ET-3850! Here's the link:) amzn.to/3Td9b24

[@janetsopko8914]

So yeah I feel like you do it just as a hobby not with the intent on making any money

[@janetsopko8914]

I feel like a person can't really make a living off of doing this. I feel like if you're married and your significant other is paying the majority of the bills you might be able to spend your money on this? I feel like by the time you get done adding everything to the boxes and everything like that you are not making any money
