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!

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.

Luxury Scents with Intent!

IMG_20141005_185825_resizedUnlike some other aromatic woods, sandalwood (a class of fragrant woods from trees in the genus Santalum) keeps its rich, sweet and warm scent for decades.  Sandalwood oil serves as the base note that both enhances them and helps them last longer. As a harmonizing agent, it brings together other aromas, without overpowering them. All these qualities make sandalwood oil one of the most valuable ingredients of the high-end natural fragrance products.

Speaking about luxury scented candles, sandalwood appears as one of the most refined fragrances, capable to make a divine atmosphere in your personal space. According to some of the traditions of the East, its sensual flavor calms and focuses the mind and relieves anxiety, which makes it perfect  for the quick recovery from a hard day. Besides, it can can nicely complement a romantic evenings, by relieving tension and mental blocks.

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!
