Ok how many of you all love candles? I know I am not alone! One thing I actually never really took any notice of is what the candles are made out of. I always thought … A candle is a candle! But how wrong I was!
I must say I am a sucker for the shop Dusk! I love the atmosphere and the smells in the shop and find it very hard to walk in without spending our weekly food budget on candles! I recently discovered though that dusk and many other candle makers are using a wax called Paraffin to pour their candles. Paraffin is an oil based wax and is not only bad for the environment to burn it is also supporting the already rich and greedy oil industry.
Soy however is a renewable source, is environmentally friendly and also supports our local farmers. By burning soy wax you are reducing the amount of harmful emissions being released into the earths atmosphere and also reducing your carbon foot print. Global warming is one of the biggest environmental problems we are being faced with and it is hard to imagine that even burning a simple candle is contributing to the problem.
A friend of mine has just started a soy candle business - Kellie’s Powder Room. Her candles are made from 100% soy based wax and contain lead-free wicks. I purchased some last week and was amazed at how amazing they were and honestly they are much better than the candles I have bought from Dusk and other candle shops.
Candles from Kellie’s Powder Room can be made to order in any fragrance, colour or container. There are over 70 different fragrances to choose from including - Apple Orchard, Bamboo & White Lily, Caramel Apple, Sandalwood, Frangipani and much much more! My favourite fragrance is Champagne Strawberries! As well as candles Kellie’s Powder Room make yummy melts for your oil burner!
These candles are a great idea for bomboniere, mother of the bride and groom gifts or just something special for yourself!
Kellie’s Powder Room is a small business and Kellie is starting with an ebay store before moving onto an online store. Please help support her business and help the environment and our local farmers in the process!
