I’m now into candle marking y’all.
This passion started out as a hobby earlier this year (2022 for you who is reading this in the future). When I started I thought to myself “Shebi na to melt wax, put wick, and wait make e set. Dassall!“
Ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls… that was my first mistake.
Using natural waxes like soy wax, bee wax and the likes, is a different ball game. Then you add fragrance oil to the mix and everything changes.
SCIENCE PEOPLE, SCIENCE!!!
There is science behind candle making and that is something I underestimated in the beginning. If I’m to give an excuse, I’ll say it is because the kits are readily available. So I thought, since it’s easy access it must mean that they’ve ‘standardized’ the material and process, hahahaha. Who am I deceiving?!!!
Well, it was really unlike me though. I usually do my research before venturing into trying new things especially if it will require me spending money on materials or tools.
The experience is still new, 2 months and counting. I’ve learnt a few things like, how to calculate the amount of wax and fragrance oil needed, and experienced some common mistakes rookies make in candle making. I even have a candle making dictionary.
Your girl isn’t mucking around. On that note, cheers to trying new things

All the best for this new found love, Sassy Fragrance. The first set is out just in time for halloween. I call it Flamenence. Check it out here.
PS: I thought I should have fun by playing with the font. Let me know if you like this style.
