First, we’ll load in our libraries. I’m using library(here) on the advice of Jenny Bryan from her Project-oriented workflow post on Tidyverse. This is just to organize my project into a folder in order to keep it self-contained and portable.

# loading libraries
library(readr)
library(dplyr)
library(tidyverse)
library(here)

Next, we’ll load in the data. This comes from 4 tabs of a Google Sheets file on which I’ve recorded my candle research. Variables include things such as the price and weight of a candle, as well as how long it burned.
