Soy vs Petroleum

What's so different about soy candles? Paraffin wax candles come from petroleum. So when you burn a paraffin candle you're emitting dirty smoke into your home and you're breathing it into your lungs. Paraffin is akin chemically to Alkane, which indicates hydrocarbons. Smoke from these candles discolor and stain the walls of the rooms you relax in. Soy wax comes from processing natural soybean oil. Since soy wax is a hydrogenated form of soybean oil, it's softer than paraffin wax and has a lower melting point. Therefore, it usually lasts longer than paraffin based candles, up to twice as long in fact. So, if you're looking for scented candles for relaxation, but want to be safe from harmful chemical effects, opt for a soy candle to emit the soft glow and warm scent into your home.

Do you remember cradling your loved ones? Baby Powdercandles have a fresh, clean, dreamy scent that will remind you of those special times when you held your babies in your arms. The fragrance is infused with natural essential oils such as Cedarwood, Patchouli and Ylang Ylang (pronounced Eeelang Eeelang). Ylan Ylang Essential Oil is known for reducing stress and anxiety and is used when trying to cope with anger. It can help you focus on happiness and gratitude and it’s also considered an aphrodisiac. All of our candles are 100% all natural Soy that burn for 100 to 150 hours. Of course, there is a piece of jewelry in every candle.

            There are only a couple of weeks left until Christmas. Is your home all decorated with a tree, mistletoe, lights, wreaths and candles? Is your shopping all done? How about a Nativity scene? I love those.

            Let’s talk about the home. It’s always so nice to have the fragrances of Christmas filling the home. Not only do you have the visual of the decorations, and twinkling lights, but the scents can fill you with the spirit of the season. It’s wonderful to smell a Christmas Wreath hanging over the mantel, Mistletoe hanging here and there or the fragrance of Frankincense & Myrrh wafting through the room. I’m sure most of you like coffee in the morning. I know that I love the smell of fresh coffee. I like that aroma almost as much as a fresh Pecan Pie!

            Well, all of those scents can come in candles. Just light one up and your spirits will lift. When you get up in the morning while you’re waiting for that coffee to finish brewing, why not light a Hazelnut Coffee Tart candle? It’ll make that first cup taste even better. When the holidays are over, you won’t have the scent of the pine tree in the living room. Well guess what? There’s a candle for that too.

            Do you have someone you’re having a hard time to buy for? Why not get him or her a candle or two? Everyone loves scented candles. What if when the candle is about half gone, the recipient discovered something quite special inside? They wouldn’t expect to get jewelry from you would they? But that’s exactly what they’ll get if you give them Jewelry in Candles. That’s right! Each one of these candles comes with a piece of authentic jewelry inside, packaged and completely protected from harm from the candle itself. It’s a thought. Get one for yourself! Enjoy the holidays.

Scents for the Holidays

After Black Friday, many of us have our special presents ready to wrap and put under, or behind, the Christmas tree. Now we’re thinking of other loved ones and friends. We get team shirts for brother, tops for sis, jeans and other clothing for many and special gifts for mom and dad. We’re almost done with our list.

Now what about the others on our list, the ones that are hard to shop for? Electronic games and devices are expensive, neck ties are pretty blasé and everyone seems to resort to perfumes or colognes when they run out of other ideas.

Have you thought about giving scented candles? Candles are not only decorative; they can provide a wonderful scent throughout the home when they’re lit. They also provide a sense of warmth and welcoming to anyone that arrives or enters the room. Candles can help create a romantic setting for an environment being shared by a couple. Many candles are therapeutic. The scents of Honey Suckle, Hibiscus, Baby Powder, Lavender and Vanilla can all provide a sense of calming for those who are feeling stressed. Who doesn’t get stressed over the holidays? A therapeutic candle will be greatly appreciated when the holidays are over and people can finally have time to themselves. Nothing beats relaxing in a favorite chair with a nice glass of wine and the scent of Lavender wafting through the room.

So the next time you’re struggling with a gift idea for someone you care about, why not think about giving them something that will not only enhance their personal lives but last a long time. Consider giving them a scented candle.
