There is nothing better than going home after a long day at work and walk into the quiet ambiance of the warm majestic or romantic aroma of a candle that has been on a warming plate. What a relaxing greeting!

Then after dinner, reading a book, the fireplace lit, candles and votive fragrances fill the air with the sweet smell of “Warm Embrace”.

Melts are in the kitchen, putting the clean fragrance of “Lemon Drop” in the air.

“Love Spell” greets me in the bedroom, but before bed, a nice relaxing bath with “Endless Love” surrounding me.

In the morning, it is back to work. Before I leave, I put “Cedar” on the warming plate and close the door.

Now, for a little information about candles. We have four mediums: wax, vegetable wax, soy, and gel.

Wax is paraffin based, vegetable is vegetable based, our soy is 100% soy, and gel is petroleum based.

Wax is more fragrant than soy and vegetable because we can put more scent in wax than the other two mediums:

           11/2 oz. fragrance to l lb. of wax

           1 oz. fragrance to l lb. of soy or vegetable

So, therefore, when using a warming plate, I prefer wax. If I am lighting traditionally, in a larger room, I use wax.

In a smaller room, I use soy or vegetable wax.

Now, as far as smoke free, soy and vegetable are cleaner, but because we use smoke-free wicks in our wax. If you keep the wicks clipped there is never a problem with smoke.

Not only are you to clip the wicks each time you light, you should also rotate the candle each time, so it burns evenly. That is with any candle.

When burning, make sure you let all candles liquid all across the top before extinguishing. If not, candles will pool.

This brings us to gel candles. They are often underrated. First of all, they are the slowest burning, then wax, soy, and vegetable—in that order.

Gel candles have the least amount of fragrance in them, but because they are petroleum based, gel has the best scent throw cold or hot, except for wax.

They make great gifts because of the awesome scenes that are created in them.

Our votives have a 6+-hour burn depending on your drafts.

Our melts look like little ice cubes. Both the melts and votive have about 2oz. fragrance to 1 oz. of wax.

Our labels are removable. I wanted that, as I hate displaying labeled candles.

Because our candles are hand-poured, it takes a couple of weeks for us to get orders out.

At any rate, all I can say is we know what we want in a candle because we’re a bunch of women.
