@ Valerie – I’m so glad to hear that you’re thinking differently about the way you shop! That is the best feedback I could ever ask for. =)

As for a loofah, I like the plant-based scrubbies that look like this. If you google ‘natural loofah’ or ‘organic loofah’ you’ll get all sorts of hits. I know they’re available in beauty supply shops as well. Luck!

@ Kathryn – =D

@ Christine – Sorry about the snag, I hope it ends up working out for you!

@ Minna – Thanks lady, and the same to you! And happy new year!

Yes, I did use soy wax. I’m not sure why this happened with 2 of the 3 candles. Hopefully it’s not something that’ll happen again. The idea of the teacup sounds great, but for these people, they’re not the ‘teacup’ type. Although I did let the candles sit for hours before removing them from the slow cooker, maybe I should have let them sit even longer. Thanks, everyone for your input.

You have totally changed the way I shop! I was at the store and walked by three packs of shower lufas (the big fluffy plastic mesh ones). I wasn’t sure if I had any left at home and I was considering getting more. But then I thought: There has to be something greener than these that will foam up my body wash better than a wash cloth. I’ll ask Sayward and the BA community what they use! So, have you found something that is green, preferably washable and reusable but still gives me that foamy result? I know wash-cloths are green, but they just aren’t the same.

@ Randy – I know!! SO AWESOME! Eeeeeee!!!!!!

@ Christine – Hmm, sounds like some air bubbles forming from the wax shrinking as it hardens. It might just have to do with properties of the wax itself – did you use soy wax? The only thing I can suggest is maybe re-making them in a container that doesn’t have see-through sides, like a tea cup or ceramic vessel or something. Sorry I couldn’t be more help!

@ Kathryn – OH MY GOD! I used to sing that song in my head when I was feelin’ sorry for myself! It was always kind of jokingly, but it totally works to give me a smile. I’m also always saying “Cheer up Charlie!!” to my dogs, haha.

Thank you, that made my morning. =)

Hope everything goes well soon! I like to listen to this when I feel down, so I figured I’d share.
And, after all, it’s only a blog! Take care of everything you need to before coming back, promise? :)

I’m not sure if it’s actually pulling away. It doesn’t seem to be. My daughter thinks there might be air between the candle and the glass. If there is, I don’t see it from the top edge of the glass at all, which I would think I would. In any event, is there anything I can do? I did use the wick with the metal disc.

It looks like another one of your post ended up on Lifehacker :)

Thank you so much everyone for the kind comments and well wishes. They are so much appreciated. =)

@ Salekdarling – I’ve actually read that book! I even reviewed it, though I thin you should finish reading it yourself before looking at my review (which was *ahem* less than complimentary) I’d love to hear your thoughts though, once you finish the book and check out my review. I know my opinion is definitely in the minority. ;)

@ Christine – Do you mean that the candle seems to be pulling away from the sides of the glass? I’m sorry, I’m a little confused by your description and having trouble picturing it.
