Hi! I'm Dani, the owner of amberandoak.co. I create videos showing the behind the scenes of being a solo candle business owner, and hopefully they will help or entertain you :)
VLOG: growing pains + raw discussion about anxiety as a candle business owner
In this video I talk about my mental health struggles as a small business owner and simply just a flawed human being, show an unboxing of a new wax melter, rearrange the candle studio, and talk fall and halloween candles!

Candle Business Vlog: BTS Spring Candle Making, Imposter Syndrome, New Studio
I have social anxiety and generalized anxiety disorder so this is what keeps me from starting my candle business. I would love to hear more about how you navigate this with a small business❤
what subscription for the cost do you use?
For anxiety try deep breathing and good sleep , try bach d rops will be helpful
Real talk! The anxiety, imposter syndrome, accepting help….all of it! Can totally relate! Just got the ToAuto, my first melter and scared to use it for the first time-please for sure do a video update on using the melter! Beginner tips would be great! You’ve got this!
Congratulations on your successful business venture it could be helpful to get a helper to help with your social media response all the best 🎉🎉
I wonder if you would do a wax clean up video. It's all good that you make candles, but the metal pitchers what do you do with the wax with scent in them? What do you pour the wax into the jars over? How is that cleaned? It's an odd request, but something that is holding me back from making them. Thanks!
Great video! As a Realtor we basically are a small business within ourself. I totally get what your talking about! When I am so busy I stress out about doing everything right and when I’m not that busy I stress out about not being too busy ! Thanks for this great Video ❤
Love that shirt! Great video!
Congratulations love it I’m next blessings to everyone new subscriber I’m about 4 months into making candles.
Hi Dani, I was wondering where do you get your dried flowers from? Thank you so much. Laura
@@CollegeSt.Candles some are from my garden and some are from afloral, local farmstands (fresh and I dry them myself) and hobby lobby / Michaels
Feel the same , is hard having a business by your self definitely, im in the candle making business already for one year iland hass been tough
So proud of you❤
Thank you for the video! I have this problem every time I add new jars. It seems to take me forever to get a satisfactory hot throw.
Thank you for your videos! I'm not a candle maker, but would like to try for my family. what size are your candle jars?
Thank you for this!! Love me some jasmine green tea :)
@@calafiacandleco I am currently obsessed with it and drink it every day!! 💕
Oh, I really like the visualization ideas for motivation. Thank you! :)
Your videos are always so personable and informative! Love it...Thank you ❤
Good video :-)
There is almost no sound☹️
@@liliansharin hey ! I’m sorry! I got a new mic and my next video will reflect that sound
How do you get your candle pitchers so clean they look new.
Hi I need help on how did you gain notice and customers
I love your small-town collection lids can you share where you purchased them
How exciting. Congratulations! 🎉
Watching your videos is inspiring. Hoping for your continued success. Thanks for sharing!
I love your channel. I'm curious who you purchase your small boxes from?
@@victoria-ph8mn the white ones are Amazon!! Thank you so much for watching :)
Hey girl hey...just curious did you know how to market your business...idk why but I know ABSOLUTELY NOTHINGabiut marketing g and it's just been keeping me stuck in this mindset of uncertainty and failure being 100%lol....but I've spent alot of money to start my business and I wanna see where it can go ...I'm just sooo fn nervous lol
YESSS I was so hoping you'd get uncharted, im so curious about it
So exciting!! Congratulations 🎉
‘Serenity’ by Jan
I am sure maybe not everyone cares about this as much as me, but as a buyer of many candles, packaging is super important. I often won't try a new candle brand, even if the scents seem good, if their packaging doesn't work for me aesthetically. Maybe superficial, but it's the truth.😅
@@housebeyondthehedge thank you for commenting!! Candles are definitely decor imo!
There are nowadays more and more people that care more about zero waste than aesthetics. So how do you please everyone is the big question? Zero waste simply does not look as good imo. A brown gift box with a stamp does not look the same as a nice box in full color. I do not have the answer besides maybe I need to do both. Then again it will not give the right impression of trying to be as "green" as possible.
@@marcovermeer9918 I guess by packaging I meant like the looks of the labels and jars, etc. Although I actually prefer a more simple aesthetic, so a brown gift box would actually be more my vibe than something super colorful. But that is just my personal preference and like you said, you are never going to please everyone. I think the answer is like what she said in the video, just do something you love and people who also love it will find you?
Not sure if you noticed but i only have audio on my headsets left ear. On 15 sec the music does work correctly. Just to let you know. I still watched it off course, thanks! :)
@@marcovermeer9918 thank you! I’m recording audio off my iPhone and trying to troubleshoot that issue in my editor but I did just buy a new mic that will hopefully improve the quality and eliminate that issue altogether.
Love your setup
YESSSSS THIS IS THE VIDEO I NEED!
@@anchorlakemeltingco you’re crushing your branding already! I loved seeing your market updates and that sign you had hanging!
@@amberandoakawww you are the sweetest! Thank you! I want to work more on featuring products prior to launches
I love that stamp thing
This is amazing!! Have you been candle making for long?
How exciting for your pallet. Did you get that from CS too?
@@boatscandleco the pallet is from liquid bottles!
Soy10 has been great for me! One pour, perfect tops, slow burn, and Amazzzzzing CT & HT
Awesome!
Love the descriptions of the fall scents!
Congratulations on your pallet of vessels!!! 🎉 Very inspiring
Lovin’ your videos! Everything you talk about, I get it! 😅😂🎉❤
Love hearing about the new collection❤
Im so excited for you ❤
So proud of you! That video unexpectedly got me emotional! 😭You did great!
Congratulations!! That’s amazing!!!
Ahhh Dani - this was amazing to watch! So so proud and happy for you!
Just discovered your channel today and I love it!!🩷. Great job… Do you layer your mixed fragrances? 🙌🌟💫😊
Congratulations!!! So awesome 👏🏻
Dani!!! I’m so proud of you and the piece was perfect! ❤ Your adult pool floaty idea is genius, girl. You are showing all small business owners how the balance is DONE. 😘
this was awesome! you did a great job on the interview! i really enjoy your videos. keep up the good work!
