Let It Glow: Our Self Care

Strike a Balance: One of the benefits of balance when it comes to self care is knowing when to say: No. It is imperative that we dedicate time to give our physical, emotional and spiritual health attention, love and care. It starts right now.

Take A Pause: I have never been one to nap. Even as a kid I fought it! Recently during this: Stay Home/Stay Safe period, I have come to appreciate the short naps. I wake up refreshed and rejuvenated for the uncertainty that we all face everyday with a positive, “bring it on” spirit.

Let It Glow: The glow and aroma of an amazing candle gives me moments of peace each morning before meditating, journaling and reflecting. It also helps me to gratefully accept the fact that I have a responsibility to let my personality glow in a positive way to build others up and reflect the change that we all want others to show. Let us be the change by the way we treat others!

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.

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.

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.
