One suggestion when burning your scented or unscented  candle is to enjoy, but always use caution. Laguna Candles would like to offer six helpful tips to keep your home safe while enjoying your candle burning experience.

1.  Never leave burning candles unattended.

2. Keep candles well out of the reach of children and pets.

3. Never place your burning candle on or near anything that can catch fire, such as bedding, drapes, books, or paper.

4. Trim your candles wick while wax is firm and cooled off.

5.Place your candles away from drafts and flammable objects.

6. Place your candle on a flat, heat resistant stable surface.

We hope that these suggestions are helpful, and Laguna Candles look forward to a GLOWING candle  burning year!

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.

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.

The Aroma Of Space

I started my company Laguna Candles for two reasons. My love for candles and scents and the  desire for a clean burning scented candle and a another important reason was I wanted my three daughters to have a choice to choose between working for someone or for themselves. For many years I also  sold Luxury Real Estate In the Coastal communities of OC.  I previewed some of the most beautiful homes in the US.  What surprised me the most, was how much people invested in the interior of their home, and yet what I  found was as beautiful as these homes  were,  so often the homes were void of scent. Typically when I walk into any home the first thing I notice is the smell.  Scent has always been a large part of who I am. From my days as a little girl mesmerized by the scent of Chanel No. 5 that my Grandmother (Lola) loved,  to walking in  one of my favorite luxury Hotels and smelling beautiful scents all through out.

Many years ago my husband Clarence’s  tennis buddy Herman told him one day, what he loved about our home was that it always smelled wonderful. That was one of the nicest complements that I have heard to this day. I recently read an article that I would like to share from Hotels Mag’s newsletter.  It was written by Sherri  Sheck-Merril, and she was gracious enough to allow me to share with  my readers.  Please enjoy.   http://tinyurl.com/8awk55t.

Heirloom Artisan Candles

The heirloom quality vessels feature Laguna Candles’ eco-friendly blend of all-natural waxes and are scented with popular fragrances from the Laguna Candles Coastal Collection, such as Laguna Paradise, Tide Pool, Coconut Paradise, Salinas in Bloom and Urban Citrus. “Every piece is unique unto itself, and bears the mark of John Barber as testimony of their heirloom quality,” says Laguna Candles Founder, Sharie Hendricks. The vessels come in 8 carefully crafted color palettes and are priced at $65 for a 20oz. vessel and $90 for a 40oz. vessel.

“Everyone at Laguna Candles is honored that John has chosen to work with our company,” beams Hendricks. “This partnership exemplifies our commitment to support the work of local artisans by creating unique and memorable heirloom quality keepsakes that allow both locals and visitors from around the world to take a little piece of Laguna home with them,” she shares. Owners of these elegant vessels will be captivated by their beauty as a careful reminder to pause from the hectic pace of daily life. Hendricks further commits to a sustainable experience as careful stewards of the environment, by offering to refill the vessels with a Laguna Candles fragrance once the candles have been enjoyed.

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.
