I love TikTok, but as of this writing, it looks like the TikTok ban is going to happen. This is also a nostalgic time of year, so we're going to recap my videos that I made in 2024 that got the most views. (Please note: the videos will only play on the TikTok app)
- Tide Candle: This was a reaction video to a random DIY tutorial that I saw on Facebook. I knew I'd have to react to it because everything she did was wrong. Girl, you really thought it was a good idea to add Tide laundry detergent to wax and set it on fire? It was definitely rage bait, or worse (if you believe some of the comments...yikes). In any event, that was my most watched video.
- "Surviving Bleve" Series: I made several commentary videos about a TikTok series called "Surviving Bleve," which involved another candle maker, Koby, and the businessman, aka "Bleve," who now owns Koby's previous candle company (Ardent Candle, which was turned into Saturday Candle). TLDR; Koby got pushed out of his own company, and Saturday Candle's TikTok account imploded. My videos on the subject attracted a lot of views.
- Orange Peel Candle: I reacted to someone who had the bright idea of using an orange as a candle. It was a major fire hazard, and candle safety is kind of my thing.
- Leaves Candle: I reacted to a DIY Tutorial where they added dried (fake?) leaves directly to the candle, which is a fire hazard.
I'm so sad at the idea of TikTok going away, but you can find me on IG and YouTube! All of my links are at the bottom of the webpage.
