Hello everyone!
I made soy crystal candles!
I am in love and cannot wait for everyone to take one home. I won’t bore you with the details on exactly how to make it because trust me… there’s a million videos and tutorials on the inter web that have higher qualifications than me to show you!
But instead I thought I’d show you some behind the scene pics and just the way I came up with the idea of a crystal candle.
I’ve always been drawn to candles and enjoyed fresh scents. However it wasn’t until these last two years have I consciously changed from regular wax to soy. The health differences are drastic! *But let’s face it, all candles are only encouraged when used moderately.*
My whole highschool to adult life I was in search of trying to find my scent. Poor highschool me was constantly drenched in Bath & Body works body spray, and now as an adult I truly appreciate the notes of scent and use it sparingly. Back to scents! I was never a sugary scent gal, floral is a line that can easily be crossed and smell too pungent, and anything musky tends to smell like cologne to me. However there was one scent that I never got tired of, fresh linen.
The smell of fresh linen is comparable to an easy Sunday morning. The swing of a freshly washed sundress. The second your face hits the white fluffy pillow for a day nap. The warmth of a basket of laundry coming out of the dryer. The breeze and the sun simultaneously waking you up from a morning.
Thats what fresh linen smells like to me and this candle embodies just that.
However as healing as those scents and recollections might be, I wanted to kick it up a notch with embedding crystals into the candle. The crystals itself can withstand the heat of a flame but it is encouraged to take out the crystals to hold, charge, or connect with. Rose Quartz and Clear Quartz are housed in each candle jar and they both combat different healing properties.
“Rose Quartz is the stone of universal love. It restores trust and harmony in relationships, encouraging unconditional love. Rose Quartz purifies and opens the heart at all levels to promote love, self-love, friendship, deep inner healing and feelings of peace.” - Charms of Light
“Clear Quartz is known as the stone of power and amplifies any energy or intention. Clear Quartz protects against negativity, attunes to your higher self, and relieves pain.” - Healing Crystals
These two paired together truly offer the best properties for a healing, repairing, refreshing experience.
