Reflection:

After the first trial of my candle, some problems occurred. While I was heating up my candle, I put too much water, and when it was boiling, some water got inside the wax beaker and out onto the hot plate. The wax end up having a big clump not melted because I can’t let the water boil longer. The next time I make it, I will use a bigger beaker to put the wax and water, so the melting would be more successful. I also forgot to add essential oil, and I will need to remember next time. When I’m adding flowers, they sink to the bottom, so I will try to make it flout next time. Apart from these technical errors, the recipe is fine, and the candle burns nicely.

After My first start I think my recipe is alright, but I need to be more skilled in my process of making. I forgot to add essential oil before I poured the mixture into the tube. I need to be more careful. The recipe will stay the same by the next time I make it.

Feedback I got from the first trial:

People think that there’s a weird smell in the lip balm, it is actually the smell of beeswax because I forgot to put essential oil in it. This will defiantly need improvement in future trials because it would smell and taste very weird if people actually use a lip balm without essential oil on lips.
