I hope everybody had a good Christmas and I happy new year!  I know my family has been really busy with all of the holiday hustle that has been happening.  life is finally starting to relax a bit and calm down and now I can focus on my candle making. To be honest I kind of gave up on selling candles for awhile.  I didn’t make any sales for quite awhile.  I decided I am going to make a fresh start.

Making a fresh start will include lowering the prices on my candles and also adding some new fragrances to my collected.  I am also getting a new design for the website that will hopefully get some more traffic and make customers want to stay on my page for awhile.  I can’t wait to see what this new year has in store for Red Fox Candle.

Onward With Candle Burn Testing

I am still in the process of testing my candles.  Its coming along nicely and I think I will finally be able to put product on my site in about a week.

I have decided on using cans for the candles instead of canning jars. They look a lot prettier in the new containers.

I have gotten a lot done this week for my webpage.  My husband has worked non stop on getting everything in order and looking nice.  I have also designed and ordered my labels and have received my business cards.

The only thing left to do is the coloring of the candles.  But even with that I have a pretty good idea on what I want them to look like.

Starting A Homemade Candle Company

So first of all I want to welcome you to my very first blog post. :)  I hope you enjoy my journey on starting my very first company as well.

Let me introduce myself first,  I am a stay at home mom of an almost 2-year-old little boy. I also have a wonderful husband of 4 years.  I have always wanted to start a little business of my own and I am at a time in my life where this is the perfect timing.

So starting out with making the candles I decided to use palm wax.  Using palm wax brings some snags along the way because of the air bubbles that form.  But with the help of my husband and a lot of practice we have figured out a way to reduce the problem.  I want to use palm wax because I live in Arizona.  It is hot here!!  I need to be able to ship them to customers with out them melting and palm wax melts at a higher heat than most other waxes.

I am going to start with 5 fragrances to start with and see how well that does and when the time comes ill add more to the list.  I will be doing special fragrance for different seasons as well.

Here is a picture of my first practice candle that I made.

I am so excited about my new project,  If any of you have any comments or ideas to help me out I would love to hear from you.  Thanks for reading!
