  I live in Edinburgh with my husband and I have 2 boys now 20 and 17. I think they all believe I’m having a midlife crisis with all this candle madness.
  
  I started in January as a hobby, but it’s taken over my life and I plan to launch a small scale candle business in September.
  
  Inspired by my love of candles and I wanted to have a go to see if I could do it. Fancied a challenge.
  
  No great ambitions, yet. I’ll be happy to roll out a small range.
  
  Used to be a pharmacist. Candle making is taking me back to lab days at uni. I now have a fitness/yoga business, teaching classes in local venues. Sometimes my brain wanders to candles while teaching and I lose my place!
  
  If I’d known how long testing would take I wouldn’t have told anyone what I was doing until I was ready. Everyone asks if I have anything ready yet, all the time.
  
  My advice for anyone new is to read through all of the posts in the group and read all the CS blogs and watch the videos. Try lots of waxes before choosing your favourite, don’t buy a big box until you’re sure.
  
  3 wishes: a scent like Molton Brown ylang ylang, copper 30cl electroplated glasses in stock and wick claws that fit 20cl tins.
  
  Happy or grumpy depending on what kind of testing day I’m having.
  
  I’d like to see more CS videos, love them.
