Can show how you can your Turkey
I love that you show the hiccups letting everything fall and having slippery fingers 😀 that was very amusing, but i feel sorry because i had to laugh 🙈🙊 I'm glad no glas was broken, while handling a lot of it this Video. I really enjoy your Videos ❤ Best wishes from Germany
I love everything you do
You're pregnant! You will break things! It's ok. Thank you for being you. We love you.
SWEETIE, PLEASE BE CAREFUL & NOT GO SO FAST, "HOT WAX".. YOU ARE SCARING ME!!😱😱😱
THANKS FOR TEACHING US HOW YOU MAKE SO MANY MEALS!!
Ok i read through the comments as far as I could but didn't see any one Mention or ask/answer this question.
Could you not just put the wax beads in the jars and set them in the water to let it melt? Or put them in your water bather…? Then after it melts and begins to chill, then add your scent oils…?
You have the pregnancy dropsies!!! Its all good!!! and next you will have Baby Brain!!! LOL!! Love your videos!
Oh Becky, I have had so many cooking days where I have dropped everything, thank you for not giving up and staying positive!!
I just got an instant pot from costco for my birthday while they were on sale!! Im Obsessed! ❤️ Why didn't I know about these sooner (aus)
I love that you leave all your mess ups, makes watching you just that more enjoyable 😊
Okay sweetness, can you please use a scissors when cutting things open instead of your sharp knives, for one, it's bad for the knife and for another, I'm so worried, it's going to slip and you'll end up cutting yourself really badly, because I'm not sure if you noticed or not, but that blade is usually in an "up" position and you bring it towards your body. I'd really hate to see you get hurt.
Eucalyptus and tea tree oil is extremely toxic to dogs.
Just an fyi for everyone. Clove oil is extremely toxic to an animals! Yes, even just the smell. Do not use it at all in any way around any animals.
Becky, babe, I love you but the Office look into the camera while the wax beads were still spilling onto the ground had me PRESSED 😂😂
Hi Becky, despite all the comments, Thank you for being real, that’s what makes your channel incredible! I love your creative ideas. Love your content keep up the good work, you are an inspiration ❤
❤️❤️❤️
You have baby bumble!
Your videos always crack me up! I love all the accidents and the fact that you can laugh at yourself. We all have them and it's so nice to see that you don't edit them out. Keeping it real makes your videos comfortable and approachable. I'm 52 and have been canning, cooking, baking, crafting, etc for over 30 years now but I always learn something from you. One thing I've never learned how to do though – style my hair. I'm always jealous of yours!
I am an aromatherapist and distributor for Simply Earth. I enjoy your videos daily. I wanted to mention it is important when making candles with EOs to let the wax cool a bit (to 150 degrees) so you are not evaporating your scent. A thermometer is most useful to determine this. Good luck on your new hobby. I love making candles as well. BTW tried out the vanilla extract recipe. I used the spiced rum, so can't wait to try in a few months.
Oh i might have a try at making candle`s ,when i have large bags like that ,thats been opened i normally put the open bag inside a buckets while i am using it ,so i don`t spill it because you can gaurentee I will spill it or it topples over and when am done seal the bag inside a Ziplock bag …
My name is Jo-Anne Miner (I go by Jojo.) I thought I would tell you a bit about myself. I will be 65 next month. I'm in a wheelchair and have a lot of health issues. I live in an apartment and have the assistance of PSWs to help me to live my life to the fullest. I love the ideals behind having a Homestead. It's the life I wish I could have had. It's why I love watching channels such as this.
Becky, I have learned so much from you and I know that in the days and weeks ahead that I will learn much more. I love watching you stumble and laugh at yourself as you spill things. Sometimes you get me laughing out loud. What a joy you are my dear. Please, don't change. Be exactly who you are. I feel the joy your personality brings to this homesteading/cooking/preserving kind of show. I am so grateful for you and even your family. Josh seems really sweet, and your mom is wonderful too.
I thought I would share what I'm doing to preserve up food. I began in the spring to can up some homemade soups. I finally got myself a pressure canner and just love being able to can so much more than I ever have b4. I began buying things from the grocery store (I am unable to access fresh farm food,) however I do the best I can. I have canned potatoes and carrots, pickled beats, pickles, cowboy candy, salsa, tomato sauce, corn, beans and so much more. My friend and I bought beef roasts on sale and we canned that. It's so delicious. We have also canned turkey. I baked an extra turkey at our Thanksgiving and baked it. Then I took all the meat off the bones and canned that with a little chicken broth. It turned out so yummy and goes so well with the cranberry sauce I also canned. Now I can have Thanksgiving dinner whenever I want. We also bought chicken breasts on sale and canned that raw. I had no idea it would turn out so good. I have also canned chili and beef stew. Then of course there is the jams… and the pie filling… Blueberry, cherry, apple and peach. All so good. In all, we figured that I have about 800 jars or more. Keep in mind I live in a 1 bedroom apartment. I have to be very strategic about where I put my jars. My best friend Carole; my canning buddy, even made a shelf for me in my room where I have some of it displayed. The rest I have in my closet. It is a work in progress as I come up with new ideas for canning this or that. At first Carole thought I was crazy, now she's my partner in crime. lol….
I am so grateful for your channel and others like yours that encourage this lifestyle. I like to be prepared for anything. I know that I can also share with my friends and family should the need arise. You have encouraged me to do what I do, so thank you. I really appreciate it. I love it that me watching your channel benefits you and your family by providing you with an income which again encourages you. What an amazing system! This allows you to take your food preservation to the next level. This is amazing. I love YOUTUBE! Jojo from Mississauga Canada
I'm sorry Becky – your face when the wax fell over was priceless.
Oh my heart! Pregnancy oopsies…honey, you are doing great….slow down a bit. And thank you for inspiring me to make enchiladas for dinner with some leftover chicken and rice. Just as you suggested add whatever you have. So I stretched it by adding black beans, corn and chopped red peppers. Then I added about 4 tablespoons of homemade salsa verde, a tablespoon of sour cream and filled up my tortillas. Placed in a dish with homemade enchilada sauce and smothered with more and grated cheddar. Yum.
Nice candles 🕯 in your home for the holidays, with no harmful chemicals.
Just be careful with peppermint oil and children under the age of 4 if you plan on keeping any at your house or gifting to people with little kids!
always a joy watching yourshows wev all spill drop break , thanx for sharing you brighton my day , cant wait for the next one
Becky I look forward to your videos every day!! I'm so excited for you and Josh becoming new parents, you both will make any child an ideal parent. I would love to hear more about your feelings involving becoming a Mom and so on. Love you both Sheri
Hey Becky! I've owned a candle company (Simply Curated) for 10 years now. When I first started making candles I did it just like this. A few things that have been mentioned but I wanted to re-iterate, temperature is super important with soy wax and it carries depending on the kind of soy wax you're using. You can use a candy thermometer or an infrared thermometer to get the temperature of your wax while melting. The second tip would be for your fragrance blends that you made. I would figure our your ratio and blend the oils together in a measuring cup, then you want to add that to your wax as a percentage of weight. You can do this easily by using a scale that you'd use for baking or cooking. Put the jar on the scale, zero it out, add your wax, then take that measurement in OZ and use a calculator to figure between 6-8%, then that is the total oz of fragrance to add to that jar. (you can do the same thing with the whole pitcher, but then you need to have measured how much wax is in the pitcher first.) Lastly would be with your wooden wicks, you want to test to make sure you have the right size wick for the diameter of your jar and that it will melt it all the way across, but also not be oversized which could cause the candle to get too hot and the glass to break.
Please don’t ever stop doing new things!! You have given me some type of motivation to try new things and not to worry if they fail! My kids are reaping in the benefits of me trying to figure out sub buns lol ❤
I remember my oldest sister would come home at Christmas and summer and she would make fresh bees wax candles. I was young so I was allowed to watch and not touch and I always thought she was perfect and nothing could fase her or bring her down. I thought she would sell candles. I later found out yes she did make candles but it was only a handful of times and she hated it haha 😂 if only little me knew :p
Hi Becky-some tips for you on candle making. First, you need more pitchers so you can incorporate scent into the wax versus the jar. Secondly, depending on the wax type, you have a maximum fragrance or essential oil amount (iRFA) you can add. Adding more can cause oils pooling, and worse yet a “spitting” of oil as the wax burns which can be dangerous. Finally, you should not add essential or fragrance oil until your wax cools to 120-160 degrees (I add at 140), or it degrades the oil. The amount you added was so high because you “degraded” your oil by adding it to wax that was too hot. That’s why you couldn’t smell it! Not meaning to be critical at all-I hope this helps!
Becky was making me so nervous with not closing the essential oil lids after using them 😬 😅
Hopefully it wasn't too bad to clean! 😆
A little mustard in the breakfast casserole would be good. You won’t notice the mustard taste but it would give you the umami that you love 😊
It’s also really important to pick oils that are pet friendly if your loved ones have pets. I love eucalyptus but it’s toxic to cats and dogs.
"This is a little unfortunate." – Understatement! At least it made me chuckle!
You poor thing! What an evening, and you handled it with such grace! One question though, why are your tomatoes in the fridge??! 😊
I know you don't like to follow recipes/directions/guidelines, etc., but you might want to look up the DOs and DON'Ts of candle making. It will be safer, less wasteful, and you'll get better results.
