Happy Monday Everyone! So all last week, I was busy with family visiting me. My cousin Jon and girlfriend Lani came to spend time with me for 3 days. My dad also came to visit me Saturday as well, so I spent some time to do some outlet shopping with him and had a nice dinner at Black Angus. Love those coupons they sent out... so worth it!
Anyways, With all that going on I was still able to get some work done. Since July, I started doing Love Thyself Sample candles for Out of the Box Sampler. It took me a while to figure out how I was going to package the stuff and get some sort of rhythm in making a total of 100 samples for them. Gosh I am glad that I even finished early on that because I didn't know exactly how long it would have taken me to push out 100 samples... whew! I did it and I finally scheduled the USPS to pick up my candles on Saturday! :) I will be in their September Box and since they were doing a Pink box for in support of breast cancer awareness I decided to distribute Pink candles to match their theme.
My Peace candles are being made at the present moment. Actually, my spirit guide David asked me to go ahead and crank out 50 of these candles. So this weekend I have packaged 20 of these candles so far. Only 30 more peace candles to go so I plan to have them done this week and shipped to The Little Black box. Again, these candles are going to be available for their September boxes as well.
Speaking of Peace candles, I know the color of that candle is slightly off. It's suppose to be baby blue and for some reason when I ordered it from a different company, I got this color instead. I also thought they sent me a different color than I requested but they told me that the baby color was from a different company that they ordered from. Sadly the company who makes the beeswax was not consistent with their colors nor do they actually care about consistency their colors either.. I personally like to have consistency of the color I representing so it was just sad to see that this peace candle is not the original baby blue. Regardless, it still has a similar effect as the original baby blue peace candle. No worries on the baby blue, I will go back to the original candle company I was ordering from and reorder the blue from there. On a positive, because the baby blue wax was off color I did end getting all the wax for free which was sweet of the lady to do that, I was not expecting that to be honest. At least I got a positive out of it :)
Has anyone encountered companies who doing aren't consistent with their products? What is your experience with them? Do you return to the same company to do business with? I know that I like to see the consistency of quality to my products so it did bother me that the color was off. I guess you get what you pay for, because this color was cheaper on this site and it just didn't turn out the exact color i was hoping for. I didn't want it to go to waste so I decided to make sample candles out of it.
