In or Out? It’s your choice.

Spring, and then summer, are fast approaching and without question we’ll find ourselves spending more and more time in our yards, on our patios and decks soaking up as much of the sun’s  warmth and  inviting evenings as we can.  In recent years our outdoor areas have become an important extension of the homes interior design schemes and here at Laguna Candles we’re all about taking indoor things outside to see how they transform our perceptions.

It makes no difference whether you’re using your outdoor space for entertaining or enjoying a cup of tea.  Make it even more inviting, and special, by bringing your favorite scented candles from indoors to the outdoors.  Remember your outdoor space can be just as cozy and inviting as the indoors.  The options are endless and who says candles are only for use in the house.   Breathe new life into these outdoor areas with scented candles in beautiful vessels.

Whether you prefer a pillar candle in an elegant hurricane or a beautiful, hand-blown vessel like our Heirloom Candle, which can be used both as an indoor and outdoor candle, you’ll make a statement.  We fill these vessels with our proprietary blend of soy, palm & coconut wax infused with our custom scents.  High quality candles help to relax you and gently stimulate your memories of good times past and present.

Aromatherapy, Good for Your Well-being

Good quality candles add warmth and elegance to any environment. They also have many benefits, the most important being the essential oils and relaxing scent. A delicate aroma is a must when it comes to ultimate relaxation and comfort. Aromatherapy is actually one of the first forms of alternative medicine; its purpose is to encourage a healthy mind and body. The Chinese may have been one of the first cultures to use aromatic plants for well-being. Their practices involved burning incense to help create harmony and balance. Lighting a candle after a long day at work should be both relaxing and beneficial to the mind, helping you become centered again after a hectic day. Laguna Candles not only provides scintillating scents but we carry a line of candles with organically therapeutic oils. The most relaxing scents are lavender, apple, vanilla, jasmine, bergamot, lemongrass and rose.

Try one today and see the beautiful benefits of aromatherapy!

A-glow With Laguna Candles

The laughter of friends, candle light, wine and appetizers.  What a delightful evening!

One can only imagine how grateful I was when a friend hosted a spa party in honor of Laguna Candles to introduce our new Bath & Body Collection.  Yes you heard me right, Laguna Candles recently launched their Coastal Collection of Bath & Body products designed to renew the skins radiance.  The six piece set includes a soothing bubble bath, body lotion, healing hand cream, hand & foot scrub, body oil spray and body mist. Our Coastal Collection of bath & body are scented with the beautiful fragrance: Water Lily and Lotus Flower and contain coffee berry extract.

Additionally there are other things you can do to make the skin look younger.  See below:

  • Set your hair dryer on the cold setting and use it to dry your moisturizers and sunscreen. This will make the product set and will help your makeup go on more evenly and last longer.

  • Use mushrooms. Face products that use mushrooms decrease inflammation and increase skin firmness. Some mushrooms can even slow collagen breakdown and improve your skin’s tone and texture.

  • Use products that contain coffee berry extract. This extract comes from the berries that surround coffee beans. Using this extract protects your skin against cellular damage.

  • Use moisturizers that multitask. Some moisturizers contain self-tanners, hydrate, and tighten your skin all with one step.

  • Use an overnight moisturizer. Many anti-aging ingredients are more effective when they are not exposed to sunlight. Exposure to light will break down the chemicals in the moisturizers and seriously impair their effectiveness.

  • Try to sleep on your back. Laying with your face in a pillow while you sleep can actually cause skin damage over time. Sleeping on your back also helps to counter the effects of gravity that take place during the day.

  • Eat to nourish your skin. Foods high in protein and zinc will help repair damaged tissue. Vitamin C will aid in the production of collagen. Vitamins C and E deliver anti-oxidants. Anti-oxidant help to fight against sun damage.

  • Drink plenty of water. Water will hydrate your skin. It will also help to regulate your oil glands, which will improve your complexion.

Laguna Finds (Submission #2)

 

 

Laguna Candles is an Eco-friendly luxury line of candles, proudly manufactured in the USA.

Luxury is hard work.  I once read this in a magazine, if you’re willing to put in the work I believe that luxury can be had by all.  We simply have to know what to look for and where to find it!  Keep your eyes peeled for vintage items this fall.

Look for quality workmanship and great materials like leather, wool tweeds, silk, cashmere, hand-blown glass, silver and more.   Laguna Finds Submission #2 is yet another example of a luxury item that I found during one of my favorite past times, yard sales!  Vintage Ralph Lauren hand bag.  Price at yard sale $25.00 estimated value $$$$ (compare Ralph Lauren Alligator Hand Bag Circa 2011 at this link: http://tinyurl.com/4xa9s22) 

Please feel free to leave a comment or question.  Happy hunting!
