“The day was a wonderful gift from my sister. I had no expectations and had the most wonderful inspirational time.”
“This was bought as a birthday gift because I wanted to learn how to make candles as a hobby. I truly didn’t appreciate the ‘art’ of making an excellent candle but I feel really confident now that I have the knowledge to start making candles that look and smell amazing and are safe and comply to regulations. Paula’s course is perfect for a hobbyist or someone looking to start a small business. Highly recommended!”
