The Skinny is.........

Time moves on and still it stays the same. I have a new found energy toward my Betty's Only. I will be honest, I have looked into a few things, but haven't made much effort to keep it moving. I did order and recieve the stearic to harden the wax in warmer environments. I haven't used it yet. There is an event here in the city that I am going to day, Christmas in the South. I have to get an inventory and lables for the candles. The labels will come tomorrow. I am looking forward to a professional look for the candles. With the website, the only thing needed is a domain name. That will get done tomorrow too. Keep it moving is what I plan to do.

Yesterday, I was with some friends and everyone is working on things they enjoy. This has helped me get things together. This is my idea and I need to work toward expanding my knowledge and skills. I will not let myself down.

These are some websites that I purchase my materials from:

http://www.candlesupply.com/

http://www.cierracandles.com/

Maybe you can get some good supplies from these. Live and learn, that's what lifes all about.

It's Always One Thing After the Other

Greetings All, things here are pretty much the same. Still no candles, but maybe I will make some this weekend. Thanks to Keith Brown, whenever he comes in town he gets some candles from me. He really likes them and is very motivating for me. There are still so many things to do to get this ball rolling. Money, Time, Energy, Effort, and many other things tend to always be the issue. Sometimes there are successes, but others are falls.

Enough of the negative, my website is almost ready. The only thing that needs to be done is the attachment of my paypal account to the shopping cart and a domain name. So things are moving forward, just not at the rate in which I would like.

Haven't been to the consignment shop for the month either. That was somewhat of a let down seeing the candles melted like that. The presentation was awful. Well, I am still here and it will get better. Promise?

Reorganizing and Formulating

Hello all, things have been going well. Candles, I haven't been doing much of that due to doing other things. The candles that I have in the store, they have melted. Not all of them. Is it worth me paying $60.00 a month and hadn't sold anything and the candles are melting. The formula that I use is just paraffin, fragrance, and color. I also use something to make the scent throw further then it would. I have already ordered the additive. This will guarentee the stability of the candles for longivity. I purchased some fragrance too. I have been looking into a different holder for the V-Lite Sampler. Instead of 24, there would only be 12 in a clear container. Tamara has done my web page. There are a few things that I need to do. Register a domain name, I already have a paypal account. I think my website will be ready in a few days. I also need to purchase some candle holders. I don't want anything fancy, but something modern and sleek. Someone bought some candles from me the other day. He has bought some before. He told me that he lit one on the sofa. That didn't go over to well. If I have a line of candle accessories that would come in handy.

Today, I went to Office Max to find out about lables for the candles. That would be a step up. I am looking forward to the future and what it has to bring. Betty's Only will be better. The candles will approve, the quality will grown, and it will be a know candle company. I look forward to working with the new materials and seeing the candles withstand heat. I am ready for a professional image.
