I am excited to announce that Isabella Catalog ( www.isabellacatalog.com) will be selling my Strawberry Lemonade candles! This candle is made with organic strawberry flavor oil & organic lemon essential oil and smells AMAZING! It transports you to a warm front porch, surrounded by friends and beauty, sipping refreshing & fulfilling, natural lemonade with fresh strawberries. Each candle is made in a re-usable, sturdy, 8 ounce glass that can be filled (after your candle burns out) with the lemonade you make from the included "secret" lemonade recipe! YUMMMMMMMMMMYYYYYYYY!!!!!!! |

Thank you, California, for a warm welcome to the California Gift Show! I was in the LA Mart/Beckman's West division and the response was wonderful! So many retailers are switching from synthetic fragrance and petroleum based candles.....it is wonderful! Not only am I excited that business is booming, but I am so glad that more non-renewable resources are being saved and less toxins will be filling the air! A great big thanks to my new clients! You can now find my 100% natural soy candles (for real 100%, not 100% soy and then added toxic fragrance like most candles! |

 They're back! Customers were going nuts awaiting the return of my massage candles and I am happy to say, they are back! I had decided to remove them until I had labels that were worthy of the candle. Vintage Paper Boutique has designed just that and I am proud to introduce my amazing, natural, nourishing, perfectly warm massage candle with its new, apothecary vintage style label. As always, there are NO SYNTHETIC FRAGRANCES, PHALATES or Foreign Materials in The Perfect Massage Candle. |

How exciting it is to see my candles on other websites, in catalogs and in stores! Even more exciting is the fact that people are converting to sustainable, petroleum free, foreign material free, synthetic fragrance free candles! I want the world to be healthy for a very long time. Just thinking about the here and now doesn't work for me, especially since I have children so everyday I am reminded of what the future may bring. I know that candles are just a little start, but how wonderful it would be if everything were sustainable and not petroleum based and full of toxins? |

I am very pleased to say that I now have pillar votives available! They are so much fun to make and, since they don't come in a container, you can use your own favorite containers for these natural soy, essential oil & essence candles. You do need containers for these or else they will melt all over. I have been experimenting with large pillar candles and tapers and wow, I have a whole new respect for those who succeed at this art form! My large pillars aren't so hard to make, it's once I burn them that the fun begins! |

Sandalwood essential oil soy candles are now available! I have had so many requests for sandalwood (which I had shunned away from due to the $100 an ounce price tag!) that I decided to see if possibly, sandalwood is so strong that I don't need much. And I was very pleasantly surprised! I have no desire to sell candles for $100 each. After all, I really want people to stop depending upon petroleum based products and to stop using synthetic fragrance. That isn't going to happen if a candle costs over $100! |

NEW PRODUCT Trial SALE!!  We now have flameless candles! Just place your highly scented (with essential oils and botanicals) soy, wickless candle on the warmer and enjoy fire-free. healthy fragrance throughout your home or business for at least 2 months! I love this flameless candle! Because flames in candles burn hotter than the warmer, the scent lasts longer and is more true to form. Unfortunately, we have yet to find a warmer that is both economical and Made in the U. |

So, I was at a local natural store and saw, what looked great, body butters. The front labels said,"phalate-free, toxin free, petroleum free and all natural". Awesome right? I flipped it over and the ingredient list went a mile long. Parfum. Urea. and a bunch of unrecognizeable words. Other butters had fragrance and mineral oil (petroleum) and synthetic dyes. I came home and improved the butters I already have and begged Vintage Paper Boutique to design me more attractive labels. And they are gorgeous! Elise never fails to impress with her amazing talent at creating that image that I imagine but can't create. Now my butters are not only the best available, but the labels alone make them collectable! |

Being a candle maker, I am often checking out competition and one thing really drives me bonkers (well, not bonkers, but it bothers me!). That is the majority of candles that claim to be "aromatherapy" or "made with soy" or "all natural". In order to be aromatherapy, a candle needs to actual have the true aroma (in other words, essential oils or essences) in the candle. I am amazed at how many candles have absolutely no real oil in them! Only synthetic fragrance derived from petroleum that is labeled TOXIC by the FDA (but candles and body products do not have to label it as so , they just have to put fragrance). The FDA has said that due to the low percentage of the synthetic fragrance, it does not have to be labeled. You will find synthetic, toxic, cancer causing fragrance in ORGANIC body products, Natural Soy Candles, Aromatherapy Candles/Body Products& Natural Home Products. This minuscule amount of fragrance can kill me! Or at least send me to the E.R.! What kind of "aromatherapy" is that?! Customers are becoming more aware of the dangers of burning paraffin candles but are still learning that most products still contain petroleum & phalates in the form of fragrance. All it takes is for us to get the word out! We like to trust our manufactures and the labels on items. Just like you read the ingredient list on foods, I highly recommend reading the ingredients on candles. If it doesn't say made of: 100% soy, Essential oils (or plant essences/botanicals), and a cleaner burning and sustainable cotton wick.......stay clear! Your lungs are at stake! |
