Arina was very detailed in explaining every detail of her candle making process. She was very transparent and realistic about the pros and cons while making a candle. She allowed room for error while making each candle unique and special.

I've never made candles and Arina made it look do-able. I wonder how clean-up works however, How does one get the wax out of the molds and strainer?
