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.

Six Reasons why we love Reed Diffusers!

Laguna Candles Apothecary Diffuser 2a

Adding scent to my home is one of the best affordable luxuries I know. Nothing makes a home seem more romantic, cozy, or sophisticated than the right scent. Scenting my surroundings makes me feel completely pampered but really doesn’t cost very much. There are many ways to scent my home, including scented candles. Reed Diffusers are one of my absolute favorite products to scent my home, and there are many reasons why:

1) Reed diffusers offer value. Reed diffusers are very simple products. They consist of a decorative jar, reeds, and scented oil. Each diffuser lasts weeks or months and once all the oil has evaporated, you only need to replace the reeds and the scented oil. This makes diffusers far more cost-effective than many types of products, which last far less time and need to be replaced entirely.

2) Reed diffusers have aromatherapy value. In order for aromatherapy to work, you need to use essential oils, not synthetic scented products. Unfortunately, most home décor scent products use synthetic fragrances, making them an imperfect match for aromatherapy use. Reed diffusers, on the other hand, can use essential oils, and therefore allow you to easily add some aromatherapy benefits to your environment.

3) Reed diffusers are safer and healthier than many types of scented products. Reed diffusers, quite simply, do not make use of flame. This is not only safer, as it means that reed diffusers do not pose a fire risk. Unlike products involving open flame, diffusers do not produce soot and other toxins. Reed diffusers that use essential oils may also be less harmful than products which use some synthetic scents.

4) Reed diffusers can be used in many places, including areas where other home scent products can’t be used. Many public places – including hotel rooms and offices – ban the use of candles because of the risk of fire. In addition, many scented sprays should not be used around children or pets. Reed diffusers can be used in many places where other products simply cannot be used.

5) Reed diffusers offer many scents. Reed diffusers come in an array of scents. One is sure to fit your mood. I

6) Reed diffusers are very simple to use. There is no spraying or trimming of wicks. In fact, once you place the reeds in the diffuser, you can forget about it. Every once in a  while you can refresh the scent by turning the reeds over, but essentially diffusers work on their own, filling your home with a wonderful scent.

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
