In Memory Of Mom

On 12/02/2011 I decided to blog about one of my favorite persons. My Mom. When I read to her what I had written, she said “Thank you baby.”  That was what she called me and my siblings, and to other people who knew her she would refer to them as “Sugar”.  It was a special honor to be considered one of her babies. A few months ago I decided to share what I had written about my mom with my family and friends. My mom passed away in March, and we all came together to honor her life. I miss her dearly and miss her words of wisdom. For months I decided not to share this personal loss.  What does the loss of my mother have to do with Laguna Candles,  my business? Absolutely nothing, but I will always remember her telling me to just hang on when I wanted to give up on my dream and just quit. For those of you who might be dealing with insurmountable challenges in life with family, business, or just life in general. I would like to share my mother’s words. “Don’t give up, just hang on Sugar” I hope this gives you the courage to keep moving forward. It has for me. This one’s for you mom!

7 Steps for Candle Care!

At Laguna Candles we want you to experience the maximum enjoyment and pleasure from our candles. We take great pride in using only the finest quality ingredients and materials. Please follow these seven suggestions for candle care to keep Laguna Candles a bright and beautiful part of your life.

1. Keep wick(s) trimmed to 1/4” at all times.
If smoking occurs, use a candle snuffer to extinguish the flame, trim wicks, remove trimmings, then relight.
2. Keep the wick centered. It will help your candles burn evenly and protect the sides of your holder, which could be damaged by close contact with the flame.

3.Never extinguish a candle by blowing, as it may cause splashing and wax spills. Always use a Laguna Candles snuffer or Laguna Candles wick dipper.

4. Never leave burning candles unattended.

5. Never move candles when lit.
In an emergency, never try to extinguish flame with water, use baking soda to extinguish the flame.

6. Store candles in a cool, dry place to avoid color fading, melting or cracking.

7. Keep candles out of direct sunlight to prevent fading and warping.
Over time, candles may become scratched or seem to lose their fragrance. Rub gently with a fine mesh stocking to heighten the gloss, remove any scratches and release the fragrance from your candles.

Scents that make you Happy!

Laguna Candles Heirloom Candle rv1Most of us go through life, overlooking the importance of little things which are all around us, while desperately waiting for something big and significant to happen. The truth is that those seemingly little things, if we recognize them can make a huge difference in how we perceive life. A flower in your office, alluring scented candle in your room, a loving pet, a beautiful picture or a meaningful quote attached to the wall right above your computer. Each of them can seriously increase the quality of our being.
One of my favorite things to do when I travel is to take a scented candle and my favorite perfume to enjoy during my stay. While reading and relaxing,  my hotel room becomes my home.
We have a choice to surround ourselves with small reminders to help us to relieve stressful situations and bring peace to our lives. I find that fragrance does that for me.
During everyday activities, we often get lost in doing, thinking, analyzing, projecting, remembering… Most of these processes are problematic and stressful, or more precisely, we are those who make problems of them. This is why it is necessary taking as many breaks as it is possible, in order to retain strength and inner peace. The good news is that you do not need special conditions to get the quick rest from problems. You just need something to divert your attention from them, for a plant or a flower on your worktable. Whenever we bring the attention to anything natural, we become more aware of the present moment, our minds stop working for a while, and we become relaxed .
Refresh your inner space with a room spray or a scented candle. The sense of smell is by far the strongest of our senses. It can detect thousands of different fragrances which forever stay in wrought in man’s memory. Natural scents are capable to calm a mind, relax a body and uplift the energy. Laguna High-end scented candles, can be great substitutes in case you do not have a garden or a park near the house. They can fulfill your personal space with the most refined aromatic blends which, depending on your preferences, can be based on floral, herbal, woodsy or spicy flavors.
Products of the human creativity and pieces of art are also pretty useful tools. Laguna Candles Heirloom Artisan Candles are unique pieces of art and make wonderful gifts. Thus, surround yourself with artworks or your favorite quotes which can inspire, motivate, and make you happy.

seeing how much we’ve grown

We’ve had a busy year.  I know that one of my promises was words of encouragement during our most challenging times in our lives.  One of my favorite writers,  Maya Angelo passed  recently and her words of encouragement and forgiveness truly touched me.  ” WHEN I DIDN’T KNOW ANY BETTER I DIDN’T DO ANY BETTER, BUT WHEN I NEW BETTER I DID BETTER” . So glad I am doing all I can to do better.  One of the ways I am doing better is taking better care of myself, and helping others. Laguna Candles Heirloom Candle rv1Nothing like a quiet moment, relaxing bubble bath and a beautifully scented clean burning Laguna Candle. # scented candles # wedding candles # jasmine scented candles

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.
