Tips to Living Green

1. Purchase energy efficient appliances. They cut carbon pollution and save you money!
2. Make sure your dishwasher and washing machine are always full before you run them as this will save energy and money
3. Weather-proofing your home is a great way to save energy. Caulk your doors and windows, add insulation or add shades to use in the summer!
4. Leaving your computer for awhile? Put it on stand-by & it will take less energy than shutting down and restarting
5. Fix leaking faucets. The constant drip wastes water, energy and money, so repair them as soon as possible.
6. Eat more veggies! On average, it takes nearly 10 times as much fossil fuel to produce animal protein compared to plant protein
7. Unplug appliances and phone charges when they aren’t in use. If they’re plugged in, they’re drawing energy and costing you money.

Benefits of Soy Candles

Soy candles are made from all natural renewable ingredients. By purchasing soy candles you are helping American farmers. Once the soy beans are harvested they are pressed into wax flakes. These flakes along with natural dyes and scented oils are used to create a premium candle. These candles have a wide variety of benefits over traditional candles.

• Made from an all natural renewable resource
• Burns cleaner than traditional candles (No black soot around the top of the jar)
• Supports US farmers
• Lasts 50‰ longer than traditional candles
• Soy Candles are made with non-toxic materials

The benefits of soy candles extend beyond the renewable source and farm benefits. When burned, soy candles last longer because they burn cooler than traditional paraffin wax candles. Additionally, soy candles are less likely to trigger allergies because they burn cleanly and do not produce as much soot and smoke. Though they are not 100% soot free there is a noticeable reduction in the amount of soot while the candle is burning.  You can clearly see the difference when a soy candle is burned along side a paraffin candle. Soy candles do not produce the black ring of soot that forms at the top of many popular candles.

How To Celebrate Everyday

By Greg Williams

Everyone needs a little happy in their lives. A little something each and every day to remind yourself that you are special and worthy and that life is good.
There’s so many ways that you can do this, that it would be nearly impossible to mention them all. However, here’s a few of my favorites.

Light A Candle
That’s all, just light a candle. Light one when you come in after work, the pleasant aroma will help you relax and give the room a special light. Having candles on the table at dinner time automatically makes the mood more celebratory – it’s peaceful, it’s relaxing, and if you have kids, it makes them excited to get to blow them out! Excited kids can make anyone smile, and that’s worth celebrating.

Have Dessert
You don’t have to go crazy, here. No one needs to be eating birthday cake or an ice cream sundae every night of the week, but ending your day with something sweet is such a great way to make it a special ending. Keep some of your favorite chocolates in the cupboard and have a couple – and if chocolate or sweets aren’t your thing, go for some fruit. Enjoy the taste, texture, color and smell. Really let your senses take over and you’re *poof* in the middle of a celebration!

Turn On the Lights
String some twinkle lights outside and enjoy them after dark. It doesn’t have to be Christmas, just a strand or two of white lights are understated enough yet lend a festive air to the back patio or deck. Sitting out under some tiny lights can lend an atmosphere of magic to your surroundings, and suddenly it’s a party!

Turn Them Off, Instead!
Turn out the lights, for another kind of atmosphere. Light up your outdoor fireplace, grab a glass of wine (or bag of marshmallows depending on your company) and enjoy the beauty of the flames. Share stories of your life (or scary ones for the kids) and celebrate who you are. Invite those around you to do the same and you will find yourself automatically celebrating them!

Play Some Music
While you’re outside enjoying life, bring out a radio or CD player. Put on your favorite tunes and really enjoy them. If you’re in a dancing mood, get up and dance! Whether you’re jumping around to the beat or swaying to the gentle melodies, dancing is an amazing way to celebrate just being alive. It’s one of our oldest forms of self-expression, and one that we should all indulge in.
It doesn’t matter what you do to celebrate life, just that you do it. By doing one or two small things each and every day, you’ll find that you’ve brought more beauty, peace, happiness and celebration to your world and that’s something that’s worth getting excited about. So, kick back, kick up your heels, or cozy up in front of a fire and enjoy living.

Soy Floating Candles and Soy Warmer Tarts

Warmer tarts and floating candles are now available in a 12 pack!

The new 12 packs will replace our 10 pack sizes effective immediately.  The change is the result of customer feedback about our tarts and floating candles.  After reviewing the comments, we found that in addition to being a more convenient size, the 12 packs were more efficient to make and had less waste and we were able to find a more environmentally friendly packaging material than our current plastic wrapping.
