- Hi Krista, no worries!! no need to apologize. It is the busiest time of the year for sure! :-) I think you should go with what your heart wants to do and where your passion lies. Do the big candle pillars with fragrance first and then maybe later on you can do some little ones with essential oils, sorta like a special edition collection. :-)
I just made two sample batches this past weekend, one batch with coconut milk and the other batch made with whole fat yoghurt. I'm most likely sticking to an all vegan recipe but I was curious about how the yoghurt would do in soap. I will save you and Stephanie some samples.
I'm heading up to Portland for the next two weeks. And then of course the holiday season is in full effect. Let's all meet up again sometime in January?

- Thanks for getting back to me. I am looking forward to our talk. I thought about doing tags because I want to add Scripture verses to the names and then wrap in plastic. Or how could I fit verses on a label? which would stand out more which is the point. Fully written but small verses. Questions for our talk.

- Hi dM,
It's been a long time since I have asked any questions. Though I love this site I really did not if my product fit in to the categories here. I make Christian calendars. I think it's really important to have a passion for what you do and I have a passion for the calendars. But recently my inspiration I was given an idea for making candles and I am excited about it. Now I fit in because all the products, resources, and information that I need to get started are here at indie beauty. I am passionate about the candles because the will serve a purpose. They will be aromatic, organic 100 % beexwax. I have a question about the candle market maybe you or somone else can give me some insight - I don't see alot on the site about candles, wll I do but much more people are into other bath body and beauty products. Is there a reason for that or is it strictly preference. How is the market for candles? I know there are some many out there. I will do candles because that's what I'm inspired to start with but I was just wandering because of the amount of other products what I see. Not many groups or links either most people specialize in bath and body making supply.
