I absolutely love balloon garlands and working with them in general… but little fun fact… I’m afraid of them when they pop lol 😂 crazy I know… you’re videos are amazing… thank you!
Ugh you are NOT alone! It's actually terrifying! 😜 Luckily the premium brands don't tend to pop on me too often. Thanks for watching + commenting! XOXO, Rach
Hello. Can you provide links for where to purchase the balloons you reviewed? Amazon seems to have a scarce amount of the Qualitex brand so I'm wondering if there's a better place to get them. Thank you.
Hey Macy! All of the above, lol! I actually have a video on it, but I do it by color then size, in rainbow order, like someone with OCD would 😂 XOXO, Rach
Ughhh sorry to hear that Yolanda! That is super annoying. You have to wipe them off. I keep a microfiber rag in my suitcase with me and wipe down the balloons after inflating as needed. I have tried once or twice to rinse them off prior to inflating, but I'm not sure if that was easier or harder tbh... I've had that happen with almost every brand, but never consistently, just occasionally. I don't know if it's certain colors, or an aging thing, I should learn more about the manufacturing process so I know more about it : / XOXO, Rach
Thanks for mentioning most of those brands work like new for about a year. I just don't know how we can tell how old they are when a distributor mails them to us :/
That’s a good point! I think turnover is pretty rapid these days so I don’t know. Those I mentioned had been in my inventory for a year or more so that’s promising 😅 XOXO, Rach
I am new at balloon garlands and have a question that might sound crazy to others. When you say you are using 12" does that mean you are using a 12" balloon but blowing it up much smaller? What size do you blow up each different size of balloon to to give yourself plenty of room to work with? Thank you!!
Hey Cara! Not a crazy question at all! Okay so yes that means I'm using a 12" balloon but inflating it to whatever size I want. I unfortunately am a little... free-spirited when it comes to inflating so I don't have set measurements, but if you blow it up until just before it gets pear shaped, then let a little bit of air out and press on it slightly to get that round shape, you're in the safe zone in my opinion! I like to vary the sizes as I go, not make them all identical, ya know? XOXO, Rach
Hey Mae! I have definitely repurposed a garland or two in my time, but not generally, no... More power to ya if you manage to do it, though! XOXO, Rach
There you are. I couldn't find any new videos for a minute. Glad you're back.
Thanks Al! Appreciate you! Good to be back 🙌🏻🙌🏻

I was just browsing for a simple balloon review and I came across this video. You just became my balloon hero!😂 thank you for doing this video❤❤❤
Hehehe I’m so glad!! 🥹 how freaking cute 🥰 you’re most welcome. 💖
XOXO,
Rach
For outside jobs in the heat & sun, nothing beats Qualatex or Sempertex but inside I always use Kalisan, Decomex or Gemar.
What about Tuftex? Inside or outside?
I used sempertex for a test in the sun and they pop instantly
You are awesome 👏🏾 thanks for sharing!
Why thank you Anita! And you're welcome 😚

Thank you for the video
You're so welcome!
Is there a good place to buy any of these brands in bulk? ( More so qualatex) can’t figure out where to buy from.
GOOD !!!!!!!!!!!!! Thanks~~~~~~
How do you organize all of your balloons? By color? Size? Brand? Containers?
Hey Macy! All of the above, lol! I actually have a video on it, but I do it by color then size, in rainbow order, like someone with OCD would 😂

I bought Kalisan in black size 5' and 12 inch . They had so much white powder on them . How do you take that off.
Ughhh sorry to hear that Yolanda! That is super annoying. You have to wipe them off. I keep a microfiber rag in my suitcase with me and wipe down the balloons after inflating as needed.

Decomex is really the best bang for your buck.
Where do you purchase these balloons brands at??

How did the kalisan balloons do outdoors?
Hey Marisa! Really admirably, you can see part two here: th-cam.com/video/usAFRaobCO0/w-d-xo.html
XOXO,
Rach
is there a part 2 ?
Yes! Coming this week!
Which brand has the best reputation for little to no nipple look?
I am guessing Tuftex!
🤭🤭🤭 were you right? hehe I always love using Tuftex but this test was pretty surprising for me!!
XOXO,
Rach
Tuftex, qualtex, septex
: )
XOXO,
Rach
Tuftex is the ultimate best
Gemar
Forgive me for this crazy question; do you use your balloons for other garlands?
Hey Mae! I have definitely repurposed a garland or two in my time, but not generally, no... More power to ya if you manage to do it, though!
XOXO,
Rach
I’m learning about this new business venture I’m taking on
