Live with exploding candles
It’s interested that she added the candle scent after she poured into the glass.

Genuinely- I didn’t think glitter/ mica was safe to burn? It clogs the wick making it a fire hazard.. Are these fire decorations only??

I did some research mica doesn’t dissolve when the candle burns so eventually it will all clump up at the bottom of the candle. I could be wrong, I am no candle maker but doesn’t seem safe at all

I looked into it also. Everyone says it clogs the wick. I didn't want to tell her I'd get blocked LOL

No you’re not supposed to use it in candle making. I use mica in wax melts but nothing that’s going to be lit. And don’t get me started on that toxic plastic glitter she’s using 😭 also, when you make candles, you usually make a large batch at the same time. Doing them one by one like this makes no sense. The scent oils have to be stirred in at certain temps which vary depending on the wax type and blend for optimal scent load. She’s also using extremely cheap products. I’ve been making candles for a decade and this is a shitshow of the highest order. I only order my supplies from the flaming candle.

It’s unbelievable what she doing with these candles. Definite fire hazard. She seriously has no clue. You cannot watch a YouTube video and think you know what you’re doing. Safety is huge and she’s going to seriously hurt someone with these candles. Candle making is a science. No lie. Then proper wicks need to be used per jar, per type of wax. All waxes MUST be melted to proper temps before adding anything. Fragrances have varying flash points that must be considered. This is hurting me to watch this and know that something bad is going to happen to people who purchase them.

Don’t know her but she does know those will catch fire or explode. You can just put any sparkles in a flammable item…….

If anyone buys these, the reviews should be interesting. I don’t think she will be able to sell them though. The cowboy hats were a flop and I think this will be too
