Watch for the Birth of My Babies!


Well...not really! The only kind of babies I'll be delivering from now on will be the candle or bath and body type. I have a fantastic new line of candles I'll be introducing to my shop in the next couple of weeks. They are my 4 oz. Baby Jars, a great way to experience a variety of new scents. 

I'm currently in the testing stages to determine the correct wick for my formula. Choosing the correct wick involves hours of testing to determine whether or not you are achieving the appropriate flame size, melt pool width and depth, burn time and fragrance throw for a particular jar and wax formula. It is crucial that a candle not leave a chandler's studio until thorough testing and research has been done for each new scent, batch of wax, jar and formula. 

These candles will be using my premium scented formula that is currently available in an 8 oz. size. Whenever I am in the testing process I'm like a kid in the candy store deciding which scents I'd like to feature. So many to choose from, so many to love! Have you seen my extensive list of fragrances? Some scents are best for bath and body, some scents work well in b & b as well as candle applications. Scents that work well in soy wax are more limited because soy tends to be a more finicky wax in scent throw. 

More updates to come!
