Buying Local: Why?

Some of the benefits of buying local are fairly simple:  It cuts out the middleman, puts more money into the local economy, and reduces the impact that long haul transport has on the environment.
With the increasing trend of online shopping many wholesalers are moving towards setting up an online retail store, this is a decision that Laguna Candles made a few years ago.

There are several advantages and benefits to owning an online store, especially when selling to those interested in purchasing our line of Eco friendly soy blend candles wholesale , it not only extends our brand but can also be used as a platform to launch other products in the future.
Wholesalers always like to buy from the sources which provide personalized services to them. Even if it is an e-commerce store, professional photos on your website can enhance the presentation of your product. Touching and smelling the various scents  that we offer allows our clients to really experience the quality of our Eco friendly soy blend candles,  therefore we typically offer samples of our soy blend candles to our wholesale customers.
If you are a retailer or business looking to sell our products in your store or extend the reach of your brand through our private labeling program you have options, feel free to contact us.

Rebalancing

Meditation may sound a bit strange to some,  but I have found it to be one of the best ways for me to de- stress and calmly reflect on my life and what I can do to make the needed adjustments to be a better person.

Mornings are good for me, that is my quiet time when everyone else is sleep and the house is peaceful. I grab my journal, bible and I light a scented candle, get a cup of coffee, my comfy throw, depending on the time of the year and I just breath, pray and read.

When outside thoughts interrupt my meditation, rather than getting frustrated I take a deep breath, focus on my blessings and continue  meditating.

When I am done I feel more at peace, balanced and ready to take on my day. I highly recommend it for others.

What Customers Want From a Candle

There is no getting around it, customers want quality in the way a candle looks and, more importantly, in the fragrance that they throw. The quality of the throw, or the way a candle scents a room or any environment to create ambiance is a major factor that every candle maker must seriously take into consideration.  Additionally, the appearance, price and burn quality are also key factors that consumers look for.  To insure our candles burn clean Laguna Candles uses only cotton wicks, natural, premium waxes like coconut, palm and soy combined with essential oils for fragrance.

So what is it about candles that make them both a popular gift and home accessory for so many people, The national Candle Associates reports that 70% of all households burn candles and that doesn’t include candle accessories! I’ll tell you why candles are so popular, candles make us feel good; they brighten our day; they bring a decorative style to our homes and create ambiance and elegance.

Ways to Reuse Laguna Candles Vessels

Our mission here at Laguna Candles  is to provide a wonderful Eco friendly product, and that is why I thought I would make weekly suggestions as to how you can reuse our product.  One of the unique ways to reuse our recyclable vessels would be display objects on shelves or counter tops, as we have done below.

One  of benefits when using our Soy, Coconut and Palm wax candles , once you are done burning the candle just simply wash  the container  with soap and water and reuse it.

Candles For Special Events

Candles are an essential accessory to all events, but especially weddings! The soft, seductive, and romantic feeling it gives to a wedding just adds the perfect touch. There are so many different ways to use them as well, many use gorgeous candelabras when walking down the aisle. Also, they are perfect for center pieces, when paired with beautiful flower arrangements, the combination is breath taking. We were especially excited to see Kim Kardashian use candles all throughout her wedding, many celebrities are doing so because they add that small touch of warmth to their big day. Candles are also very thoughtful wedding favors, they are symbolic to how bright the couple’s future will be. Laguna Candles are definitely a hot pick right now, for all types of events. If you need help finding that perfect one, go to lagunacandles.com.
