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.

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.

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.

Laguna Candles was founded in 2003 by Sharie Hendricks and since it’s inception Sharie has always used Laguna Candles as a way to give.  Sharie and staff volunteer throughout the community and a portion of proceeds from sells are donated to various charites and causes.

More recently Laguna Candles has come up with a way for individuals and organizations to give.   The “Cause Candle” is  contemporary collectable that combines the finest hand-blown glass with the purest 100% Soy wax available on  the market today.  

Our “Cause Candle” as  a unique way to support your local or global cause.  We encourage individuals, groups, organizations to purchase these candles in bulk amounts to be sold or given away at special events.  We’ll make sure a portion of the proceeds go to you favorite cause or charity.  

 The “Cause Candle” is made from hand-blown glass, once the wax has completely burned use the glass vessel for what ever you like.  This is a one of a kind piece of art that the recipient won’t want to part with, a memorable keepsake that will keep your cause or thought of your event alive for years to come. 

We can consult with you to create a scent that is memorable and unique to your cause.
