Candles bought from stores are made with Paraffin which is a petroleum byproduct. Basically, after they tar our roads, they take what is left over, bleach it out & make candles (wax) out of it. Burning paraffin in your home is the equivalent to letting a diesel engine run in your living room! Now do you really want your kids & pets to be breathing those toxins in? The 'heat' waves you see coming off of those candles are actually toxins being released into the air. Even if the label reads 'Soy Candle', always read the fine print. It is a FACT that there is not anyone on the market right now carrying 100% all natural soy candles. They are a Soy-Paraffin Blend. The label will say 'Soy Blend'. It is too expensive to make them to make a profit.. that's where I come in!
Soy wax has such a low melting point that it lasts 50-70% longer than paraffin & you won't get that 'well' down the middle that just ended up being a waste. I use 100% cotton wicks so there is no black smoke or soot/dust to deal with... no black smoke marks on your ceiling. I use all natural/essential oils & can pretty much get any scent your heart desires from Victoria's Secret Love Spell to Mandarin Coconut to Cinnamon to Vanilla to Sage to Lemon... My colors are all 'eyeballed'. I can do solid colors or layered colors...even black!
The best part about the soy wax is that it is water soluble. If you (or your little one) spills the wax, don't fret! Get a bucket of hot soapy water & wipe away! Even out of carpet! I know.. too good to be true, right?
An added bonus to my soy candles is that once it melts back down into the vegetable oil, you can stick your finger in & rub it on your cuticles, dry skin, dry elbows, feet... it is really rich in Vitamin E &, remember, no toxins!!! My husband uses it on his hands all the time after working in the shop. (Sshhh! That's our little secret!) : )
I LOVE when people recycle. It makes me smile! When you burn one of my candles completely, rinse it out with hot water and soap & bring it back to me! I will refill it. GO GREEN!!
I would love to fill any container that you would like to be made into a candle! I have a huge inventory to choose from as well, so if you need a quick gift, you know where to find me! I hate to admit it, but I also make Warmer Molds (yes, like Scentsy) for your warmers. I do the cubes or I have assorted shapes so you can mix and match. And, again, they are soy! The fumes STILL come off the paraffin even if aren't lighting a wick. ; )
I am in business for myself. It is not a pyramid scheme or some Mary Kay or Scentsy thing. I buy my ingredients & make my product in my kitchen. I keep all the profit. I throw a lot of 'Private Pours' for people who are looking for a night away from home & want to do something fun. NO OBLIGATION. You come & bring a container (or I have some to choose from). You choose your scent and color & make your own candle! Come have some treats & a night away from the kids!
I LOVE what I do & I know I am making a difference in the world, one candle at a time!
PEACE
LOVE
Happiness
