“Free All Natural Scented Soy Candle Contest!”

We are so excited about our contest
and wanted to share some of the benefits of burning one of Laguna Candles  Natural Scented Soy Blend  Candles in your Home.

1.When choosing a Natural Scented Candle make sure that the candle contains natural, high quality ingredients that are safe both for you and the environment.

2. Natural Scented Candles with clean burning soy wax and all-natural, lead-free wicks should be a perfect choice.

3. 100% Cotton lead-free wicks should be a perfect choice. The soft soy candle wax liquefies rapidly and allows optimum diffusion of the flavor, while a quality wick keeps air in your room clean.

4. Eco candles burn cleaner and are a much better candle for the home.

5. One of the best  fragrant candles to chose are natural blend candles. Some of the Soy blends are Soy, Coconut, and Palm.

6. Scented candles with essential oils are a much better choice than using synthetics scents.

The beauty of the Lemon

I am amazed at the the versatility of the lemon. In reading one of my favorite Journals I thought I would share some of the amazing uses. Just imagine, a product that can be used as medicine, cleaning agent, disinfectant, and a beauty treatment.
Lemons are a source of citric acid which is used as a natural preservative and to give a sour taste to food or drink. The lemons pith and peel yield pectin, which is used in the food industry as a thickener, emulsifier, and gelling agent. Additionally there is an oil extracted from the peel that can be used in food, pharmaceutical, and cosmetic industries. The list can go on and on.

One of my favorite things about the lemon is the scent.  Laguna Candles signature scent is ” Laguna Paradise.” It is our number one selling  soy blend scented candle.  It is comprised of  lemon, citrus lime and verbena.
People often overlook the importance of fragrances for the fullness of experience. That mistake can be fixed by letting the scent of Laguna Paradise  fulfill your personal space.  Laguna  Candles offers a wide variety of memorable aromas to tell the story about the infinite beauty of our planet. Made of domestically grown sustainable soybeans, Laguna  Candles ensures the cleanest possible burning, while providing room-filling, yet not overpowering flavor.

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.

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.

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.
