[@Momsinpower]

I literally love watching your journey boo. As a fellow candle maker we all got a punch to the gut with their closing 😭 as your sister in Christ I am forever rooting for you and your business! Love watching you work boo and get all God has for you!! 💜

[@ebonielemaee]

Thank you boo!! Girl I was just in disbelief you hear me! Thank you sis you know I always appreciate our offline chats 😂😂😂, you know I’m always rooting for you too! Amen Amen! I receive it!!! 🥰

👋🏾 3 years🎉!! Those sample melts for your friend is whats up!!! Very nice!!

[@ebonielemaee]

Thank you love! 🥰🥰 ikr! The hearts are so cute!

[@nurturedbynatureco]

Oh snap, wow - I did not know that. See, this is the problem. Small biz’s like ours DEPEND on these suppliers. I wonder if it’s because Makesy been’s blowing up so much. Thanks for the update and inspo - sounds like you’ll be doing just fine! 📦

[@ebonielemaee]

Yes that’s a big problem and it’s kind of disheartening because they have no explanation just vanished, I do think makesy is the top supplier for sure and everyone is trying to keep up but can’t I guess.

[@donzellcooper]

That amazing you had your candle business for three years and you gonna keep on growing. I like those candle cubes that you put in those bags. Thanks for sharing.

[@ebonielemaee]

Thank you!! I sure hope so! Oh yeah the heart shaped wax melts! They are super cute.

Thank you so much 😊 I appreciate you being here!

[@Sjay2711]

Sis!! I love watching ALL of your videos candle or decorating related!! You got this!! I too almost lost my mind because I'm just starting out, literally just getting myself out there and 3 of my best scents are from them as well but my TOP seller fragrance oil from them I'm really worried because I have repeat customers for that one scent. I'm very worried 😟 but anyways God will make a way for us all.

[@ebonielemaee]

Thank you so much!!! I really appreciate it! Omg are you serious? See that is not okay I honestly don’t think they realize they have put a lot of small businesses in a bind and to not give an explanation is disheartening. Yes girl god got you and have you looked at other FO companies like Midwest, Maryland wax, porter candle supply just to name a few!

[@Sjay2711]

@ebonielemaee I haven't BUT I know you would never recommend these places if they were not good so believe it or not your reply is perfect timing sis no lie! I'm literally sitting here with my pen and notebook trying to brainstorm a new plan for those 3 scents and I'm about to check these sites out right now. Since I'm new and just starting I'm only starting with 3-5 scents because I don't know what will sell and I don't want to get annoyed and overwhelmed being that I work a full time job too. Anyways sorry for the long post but I truly THANK YOU!! Air hugs 💞

[@teatimewithnana8161]

Babyyyy the I tell you I've been so sad, that's where I got my wax and wicks from. I wasn't prepared, but it was a good learning lesson

[@ebonielemaee]

Girl when I tell you some times we do have to learn those lessons ugghhh, what wicks and wax do you use? I know hive and honey has a great selection of cotton wicks and wax!

[@teatimewithnana8161]

@@ebonielemaee Thank you! I was using the #7 wax and can 6 wicks from 16/17. It feels like I'm starting over and its not a bad thing.

Could u do a tutorial please on how to use the cricut to make labels

Sure! I’ll probably do a short!

[@RavenH721]

Thank you for the video! Could you do a tutorial on circuit? lol I purchased one years ago and still haven’t used it 🤦🏾‍♀️. I been hand cutting out my labels…

[@ebonielemaee]

Thank you for watching love! Yeah I can or I can do a short is it just labels you’re having a hard time figuring out?

[@RavenH721]

@@ebonielemaee yes please. And thank you. I use 2.5 Avery templates circle stickers. I would like to use my circuit to cut them out. I’m just unsure of how/what step(s) to get circuit markers on edge of paper…🫣

[@ebonielemaee]

@@RavenH721oh is the template already pre cut? If some it’s a way you can print on the template!

[@RavenH721]

@@ebonielemaee no. I been using vinyl sticker paper and using the 2.5 hole puncher. My intentions were to use the cricut to create die cut stickers. But I have no clue what the steps are 😂

I was definitely Shocked by the 1617 News. I tried there wax a few times and it was pretty ok . But I ended up going back to my Hive and Honey and Maryland wax

[@ebonielemaee]

Girl and I still am lol, oh yeah I get it sis because that’s who I use as well Maryland Wax Club and Hive and Honey 😂

[@tplazz1]

How do you like Maryland Wax? I'm in between vendors right now. I had a bad experience with Coconut Soy, so I'm trying out Soy 10 & IG 6006, but i'm liking Soy 10 so far

[@ebonielemaee]

@@tplazz1I love Maryland wax club I haven’t had any issues with the coconut apricot from them!

[@jenniferscott7595]

@@tplazz1.. I use my own blend of Coco 83 and 10 percent Beeswax. I’m not Big on Soy much

[@jenniferscott7595]

@@tplazz1 . I get my Coco 83 from either of them and my Beeswax comes from Hive and Honey Mrs Angie is the best and her crew. They are both Amazing suppliers

[@maryspencer3695]

Yeah very sad about 1617😢 I love their fragrances and loved Calle26. But I didn’t go with it and I’m kind of glad !!

[@ebonielemaee]

They did have some nice fragrances! I saw hive and honey was looking into carrying them though.

[@maryspencer3695]

That’s good! I buy some of my wax from Hive and Honey🙂
