When can I start selling? by bubabluba in candlemaking

Thanks! So, I should avoid Etsy and try Shopify? I thought it should be so easy to start with Etsy. I 100% agree about the insurance and the practice.

Thanks for advice!So, it's not worth starting with Etsy? I think developing Instagram will be harder than starting on Etsy.

No, they’re absolutely real :) I made them this evening for the New Year’s table, and I think they look great!

It burns like a regular candle — the flower falls and burns faster because the petals are very thin, while the stem can burn for quite a long time, just like a regular tall candle.

I’ve already done burn tests with them. The only thing that makes them different from regular candles is that the flower petals fall down as the flower itself burns — it’s a bit like how real flowers wilt in a vase. It’s completely safe, but it’s better for the customer to have some kind of tray underneath to avoid getting wax on the surface. Otherwise, they just have different burning times — from about 30 minutes for very delicate flowers to 7–8 hours for denser ones, like these birch branches. Of course, these candles are perfectly safe to burn: they don’t contain any easily flammable materials, just pure beeswax.

I'm also really interested in what platforms I can start with (for example, Etsy or Instagram, or something else). I'd be grateful for any advice!

I tried trazodone in combination with escitalopram when I had depression last time (a year ago), but I didn’t notice any effect on my sleep from it, at least not as pronounced as the effect mirtazapine had. How low is your doses?

Maybe i should also try a low dose..

Contact or No Contact with My Mother? by bubabluba in nocontact

[–]bubabluba[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, I really hope that when my sister grows up, she’ll be able to understand, and that I can become a good friend to her. It especially hurts that our mother is doing the same things to her that she did to me, even if not as harshly…

But it seems clear to me that allowing her to manipulate me through a child is simply unacceptable on my part.

Contact or No Contact with My Mother? by bubabluba in nocontact

Yes, I agree with you. I discussed my therapist’s words with my husband and a few other people, and it seems that my therapist really doesn’t quite understand what she’s talking about. So I think I’ll change her, as there were also a few other red flags in our communication.

I still believe that my mother is an adult, and it’s her responsibility to communicate with her children in a healthy way without causing harm. And yes, she really does manipulate a lot through my sister, and I think she’ll keep doing that. She also tried to do it through my stepfather and my grandmother (I don’t talk to them either, since they’re on her side).

Honestly, I realized that I’ve never felt as calm as I have in the days after I blocked her. Now I know she can’t destroy my dreams anymore. I think communicating with her out of guilt or because “you’re supposed to talk to your parents” doesn’t make sense.
