I appreciate your story about being poor and not having anything to eat! As a child I often went hungry. The longest was 3 weeks. I weighed 37 pounds at age 8 years old. It definitely builds character and makes you work hard. I am sure that is why you are so successful!! Love your videos.

Thank you for sharing your story 3 weeks is a long time. And you are so right, that is exactly why we work hard to ensure our children do not have the same life. My Mother did her best for us.

I absolutely loved this video, from watching how you pack your orders, to sharing your stories of growing up poor and wanting to be called Marie. Best of all was hearing John come in singing, not knowing that the camera was on and then listening to the two of you teasing each other. It made me laugh to hear you having fun with each other. Can't forget to mention the beautiful scenery too! Thanks so much from Alberta Canada

Hi Karen, I would like to say that your videos on KZbin are very inspiring and it’s nice to see somebody from the UK on KZbin doing such an in-depth videos. I have been looking at doing something like the wax melts for some time now but due to work commitments I have always thought I would start something later. Thanks to covid19 that later has now arrived as I am being laid off so I need something and quickly. So I was over the moon when I came across your channel the detailed explanation is spot on I have learnt more in 2 days on how to make ,pack and ship items than in the last 3 months searching KZbin thank you. My wife said to me yesterday that it was strange that I would go into making wax melts as I have for the last 10 years run a warehouse and yes it seems strange but after just spending the last 3 months on lockdown and then being told that I am not needed after 10 years of loyal service and at 55 I just need to be the one making the decisions in my life. So please keep making the videos Thanks Mick

Hello Karen, I was raised in America ( Miami & Key West, Florida, Mississippi and Cape Cod, Massachusetts and Kansas, Houston and Katy and Canyon Lake, Texas and Georgia and North & South Carolina) for 30 plus years, but I was born in Ipswich, England. I have been back to the UK now for 20 plus years. I started off making Candles in Canyon Lake Texas, and then moved back to Wales UK. I now make Candles and Bath and Body products like yourself and CBD products. I have been to the Lake District and it is absolutely stunning and the views are beautiful. I do love ❤️❤️❤️ watching you videos and thanks for entertaining us all during this lockdown..
