Stabbing (Update)
No, that’s not exactly what it feels like…stabbing and punching and twisting all at the same time? I think that’s it, maybe…
I sometimes have the worst cramps…the only thing that makes it better is I always crave chocolate too. I was planning on curling up in bed all day and just watching movies. But I’m feeling just a tad better and took some Midol…if I feel better, I’m going to experiment in the kitchen. Color and glitter in a couple of candles…see how it works out. I have the soy soap base, color, and soap cutter…just waiting on molds to make the soap.
Just saying…I get irritated when there’s a fight scene with swords and people die, and there’s no blood dripping off the sword. I am not a sick person, just saying it’s too unrealistic for that to happen.
Update:
Here’s the results thus far with the experiment…I made one candle of Coconut Hibiscus. For the first time, I added color, and also some copper mica powder, making the wax shimmery. I noticed as the wax cooled from whisk it was a paler pink…so I’ll probably be checking on it every once in a while and taking new photos

I’m glad you’re feeling better, and yeah, if there’s going to be a sword fight and no blood than expect a bad rating from me too.
Sounds fun, except for them cramps. UGH, sorry hun, glad you are feeling better now!
@ctaretz - I missed you. Can you type me up a page of your book?
sometimes the unreality of movies make them more humorous.
ETA: Nevermind what I said. The candles look pretty.
I get cramps like that as well. Not fun at all. I am glad you feel better.
very pretty! you should go to the dr and get some pain reliever.
The shimmer an color look really pretty.
@RulerofMasons - Sure man, here ya go… http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=sr_nr_seeall_1?rh=k%3Acarsten+aretz%2Ci%3Adigital-text&keywords=carsten+aretz&ie=UTF8&qid=1352594582.
Oooooooooooooooooooo I really really REALLY want this candle!
And omg yes, I’m irritated with bloodless swordfights and stuff. Make it realistic, people!
@Erika_Steele - Yep, I did make sure I can use this in candles..and I bought a few more glitter colors today that are candle safe =]
@Marica0701 - I think I will will be working with color from now on, and occasionally adding glitterz
The supplies I ordered for the 7 sample scents will be here Wednesday, but I might wait until I get the dyes and glitters I ordered today…and, haha, it’s good to be honest about ordering candles just for yourself 
I hope you’re doing well!
That is a pretty candle!
Hope you feel better soon !
