More than just a candle! It's a evironment changer!

Conver


Do you let candles set an ambiance in your home? I don't think pictures ever really do justice. When you walk into a home with candles going, there is just a different mood. When you walk in, out of instinct you compliment on how it smells & how cozy it feels.
Let's be honest... candles are magic! They transport us away from the cares of everyday life. 
A room can be transformed with a fragrance, by switching the mood from busy & chaotic to calm and peaceful. 
Candles are phenomenal for year-round enjoyment, popular during winter months by illuminating light to our everyday affairs. Candles can transform any space for you to relax, kick your feet up and unwind. There is no doubt that candles are not just candles they are environment changers!

Holidays have come and gone! Let's talk Valentine's & Self Care!



Valentine's Day puts the emphasis on LOVE and some one special in your life.  Did you ever think that YOU are that someone special in your LIFE?

Why not make this day about  Loving YOURSELF! You can't Love someone else until your truly Love YOURSELF!

Self-care has been a hot topic lately, but what is it ? The basic definition states  anything a person does intentionally to care for his or her mental, emotional and physical health.

Which could mean sipping on a Jamba juice smoothie, relaxing in a bubble bath, or it could mean eating brownies and squirting whip cream down your throat and watching unlimited seasons of your favorite sitcom. No judging! In your own words, it’s a way for us to all take a moment out of our daily lives to revamp and make sure we are all good! It doesn’t need to be a Social Media embracing moment, but  another way to look at your inner self, get to know yourself inside out and truly know  your wants and desires. It never feels like a job when it’s fun!  Self-care is a must during and after the holidays!

Stella got her groove back...now it's time to get yours!

So how do you practice this thing we call self-care? It’s not the same for everybody.  Pallates, candles, sipping on a hot cup of tea may not float your boat, these examples may not work for you.  You may need to  enjoy your favorite food at your favorite restaurant, soak in bubble bath with a couple of Bathbombs and throw on a charcoal face mask while sipping on your favorite Stella Rosa wine.

I know you're probably asking yourself how do I know that any of these ideas are going to work? First of all you have to start! Where people go wrong is that they never begin!  Now take a moment and think when was the last time you truly felt relaxed. What made you feel relaxed? Ask Yourself!

Maybe it was a rainy day and you stayed in your PJs all day and watched marathons of Arrow. Self-care is all about you!!! If posting a pic on Facebook makes you feel good, then do that and do it because it feels good to YOU! Sometimes the best way to care for ourselves is doing things like listening to  classical music while devouring milk and cookies or lounging with your indoor pets for hours at a time—and that’s totally okay.

Don't you ever feel like you owe anybody something! Self-care isn’t a hush hush thing, it’s part of having a balanced life!

Practice Self-care even more if you find it hard to fit it into your weekly schedule. Just Start!!!!  There is no right or wrong way to care for yourself. Remember it's all about you...who cares what the naysayers think!

I Love making candles! I find it very relaxing and therapeutic. I am a wife and a mother of five. I began making scented soy wax candles in October of 2016. I will be honest at first it was a new found hobby. I stumbled on by asking the Man upstairs--God what His plan was for my life. It was a deep interest in candles and I became very passionate about candles. For once in my life I felt like I can make a difference in the world. Could it be? one candle at a time? I am amazed with the amount of information that revolves around a single candle.  I know many of you have heard this common phrase "theirs a science to this thing".  I get it! Making candles is definitely a science and a beautiful science to be exact from the type of wax, type of wick, endless kinds of essential oils and endless types of candle fragrances, measuring the temperature to heat the wax and the list goes on.  Myself and many others handcraft and hand pour soy wax candles.  The number one question your probably thinking "what makes your candles different from other candle businesses"?  I am most certainly glad you asked!  The candles I make serve as a natural massage oil when melted and can be applied directly onto your skin and illuminate the environment whether they are burning or sitting as a Home Decor piece on your table!  I believe that words can shape our destiny and candles bring light by shaping and illuminating our environment.  My candle labels have a faith based statement it reads "Words can shape ones destiny our candles shape and illuminate your environment'. God has plan for every one of us!  What is the meaning  behind the statement on my candle labels is simply this; words have power and we either speak life or we speak death in laymen terms we speak POSITIVE or we speak NEGATIVE. We are all guilty of it! Speaking-- NEGATIVE including me! We can control our thoughts and our words and allow the man upstairs-- God to shape our character by speaking His language by speaking LIFE --POSITIVE in every situation! Resulting in many people reading my candle labels and being constantly reminded to speak LIFE -- speak POSITIVE!  No matter what the situation or circumstance! I want every one who comes in contact with my candles to know that they have everything they need on the inside of them to become the change maker the world so desperately needs! I donate 10% of every one of my candle sales directly toward the Kingdom of God.  My main objective besides making wonderful candles for you all to enjoy, is to engage you, and make an impact but to especially and ultimately bring the man upstairs--God Glory!

Mustard Seed Faith is all You need!
