If you’ve read me before, then you already know what a fan I am of citrus. This candle carries a very natural smelling citrus scent. It smells like …….okay, it smells like a grapefruit-flavored cough drop tastes, but honestly, the grapefruit cough drops are my favorite. They are pink and my children will back me up on this – I immediately pull them all out of the package. I’m not good with sharing some things.

This is a 100% soy candle.  After reading that traditional candles are made of paraffin, which is a petroleum product, I’ve been switching all the candles in my home over to either beeswax or soy.  You know that black stuff that you sometimes find on your candle holder?  That’s a by-product of paraffin candles and if it’s on the holder, you can be pretty sure that it’s also in your lungs.

I’ve been burning the candle for the last 2 hours and this room smells wonderfully fresh. Bailey says, “It smells reeeealy good. Sarah says, “Fantastic!”  The box is cute, too – pink, with multi-colored stripes.

ERGO CANDLES – Catherine Hickland raves about these candles in her weekly beauty column in Soap Opera Digest!
This collection is made up of intricate combinations of fragrance oils, with an average of 30 fragrance notes, giving them depth and substance.

They are perfect to use throughout your home and potent enough to fill an average size room. These blends are some of our more playful with the intent of invoking joy and happiness.

The luminescent, multicolored striped box makes it a perfect gift of bliss.

We offer 10 different scents…which one will you choose?

I recommend the Cool Citrus Basil scent. I had the opportunity to try the candle this weekend and my family loved it. The container has a pattern on it that glows when lit and the candle burned for hours with no tunneling. The full-size candle is available at the Etsy shop here.

Cool Citrus Basil is a customer favorite! The sweet zest of citrus partners with the earthy notes of basil to create a smooth and balanced aroma. Pretty, sweet and subtle!

This candle glows from within when lit and can burn up to 60 hours in a draft free environment.

Our hand-poured tealights are made with lead-free wicks and 100% Pure Soy Wax, a renewable resource that’s biodegradable and non-toxic. It also burns much cleaner than paraffin wax, making our candles an inviting, relaxing and worry-free addition to your home.
