2022 Soy Delicious Candle Gift Guide: The Best Candle Scents for Your Family

The holidays are such a fun time of the year – lights, decorations, and lots of cheer! But sometimes trying to figure out what to get your family for Christmas can be…difficult. Your mom doesn’t need another cookbook, and you could use a cool gift to surprise your brother with. So making your gift-giving easier this year, we’ve put together a special Soy Delicious Candle Gift Guide full of ideas for each of your loved ones. Let’s get wrapping! Candle Gift Ideas for Your Partner Cypress Your partner may think a candle gift is really for you, but not if you give him our Soy Delicious Cypress holiday candle. The scents of evergreen with a hint of musk are just enough “masculine” to let him know this candle is all for him. Matcha Your partner will love our Matcha candle. It’ll envelop him in the calming scent of green tea – allowing him to slip free of the day’s stress and get into a relaxing mood so he can be ready to spend an evening with you. Candle Gift Ideas for Your Mom Holiday Bliss Mom: the woman who works hard from September to January to make sure everyone’s holiday season is extra special. So make your mom’s Christmas a bit more special by gifting her an exclusive Soy Delicious Holiday Bliss candle. Our Holiday Bliss candle is the ultimate holiday-scented candle – it’ll spark memories of holidays past from when your mom was a little girl or when you were a toddler stealing decorations off the Christmas tree. Provence If your mom needs a bit of time to unwind and destress from the holidays, get her the gift of relaxation from our spa collection. Our Provence candle will remind your mom to put her feet up, sip on her favorite holiday drink, and relax. And as a bonus, send her these 7 tips for self-care during the holidays. Candle Gift Ideas for Your Dad Fireplace Finding a gift for your dad can be challenging sometimes – it’s not like he needs another tie or bottle of cologne. So why not gift him something unexpected like this limited Soy Delicious Fireplace holiday candle. He can carry the scent of a perfectly built fire without the worry of remembering to open the flue. Havana And for the days when your dad wants to relax, sip a cold one, and watch his favorite team, the Havana candle is the best choice. It’ll make any room in the house feel like his own special man cave. Candle Gift Ideas for Your Sister Currant Give your sister the memories of holidays at Grandma’s house and playing together under the tree with our exclusive Soy Delicious Currant holiday candle. She’ll love all the amazing memories it sparks – and the new ones you both make! – with its deliciously sweet and tangy scent. Thai Lemongrass Your sister will love our Thai Lemongrass. It’s sassy enough to make her feel chic but also give her the energy boost she needs to finish her to-do list and make her home smell amazing. It’s a triple win! Candle Gift Ideas for Your Brother Oudwood Musk Your brother may think candles are for “girls,” but our Oudwood Musk candle is about to prove him wrong. With the smell of log cabins and tobacco leaves, he’ll have to admit (begrudgingly) this candle is a great gift for guys. Luxe Home So whether your brother is a bachelor or in a relationship, our Luxe Home candle from our clean collection is perfect for him. Every time he lights this candle, his partner or Friday night date will think the house smells especially good – helping him win some bonus points with his amor. Don’t forget yourself!

5 Reasons Why Luxury Candles Are Worth the Expense

It seems like you can buy candles anywhere these days – from the airport to the grocery store. And though it’s convenient to pick up a new candle while shopping for dinner, not all candles are created equal. So why should you spend more money to buy a luxury candle instead of the ones from the store? Because like when you splurged and bought yourself an expensive bottle of wine or a designer purse, you knew you were getting something of top quality. And luxury candles will provide you with the same top quality experience. Luxury candles use high-quality ingredients. Luxury candles use high-quality ingredients that create a better scent throw and burn cleanly (no more yucky black soot). From natural soy waxes to beeswax, these natural waxes are of better quality than the synthetic ingredients found in other candles. Soy Delicious makes all candles with a proprietary blend of eco-friendly waxes, uses a natural cotton wick for a clean burn, and are free of dyes & synthetic fragrances. We believe your candle should provide you with a luxurious experience by using the best ingredients. Luxury candles have longer burn times. Why buy 4 candles when 1 amazing luxury candle can do the job? The premium ingredients in luxury candles ensure your candle will burn longer. This gives you more time to enjoy the fragrance for a longer period and makes your buy more cost-effective. Which means you have more time to enjoy and revel in the glorious scent of your favorite candle. Our full-size candles of 10.5 ounces have a burn time of 70 hours. That’s a lot of candle enjoyment! Luxury candles come in unique scents. Anyone can buy a vanilla candle from the store. But you can’t find the singular scents of a luxury candle just anywhere. The scents of luxury candles are carefully crafted to create complex and layered aromas. Giving you a more sophisticated and nuanced fragrance experience than the alternatives. We have candle scents of Thai lemongrass, sage, eucalyptus, pomelo, and matcha (to name a few). We interweave the primary scent with other scents that complement and highlight the main aroma. You’ll love the various notes you detect each time you burn your luxury candle. And guests will compliment you on how amazing your house smells as they also enjoy the unique, memorable aromas. Luxury candles use ethical and sustainable practices. Part of the cost of a luxury candle is often these candle brands focus on ethical and sustainable practices over mass production. Many luxury candle brands look to reduce their carbon footprint and yours by using sustainable products that eliminate production waste. All Soy Delicious candles are hand poured into a zero-waste glass cup reusable as your favorite water glass or at your next dinner party. You can burn your candle knowing only eco-friendly materials – like natural waxes and a cotton wick – are used. Making it better for you and the environment. Luxury candles come with a personal touch. Luxury candles are created with a singular, personal touch through an intentional candle-making process. From being hand poured in small batches to artistically designed, your luxury candle creates a connection between you and the candlemaker. As we create, pour, and package our candles, Soy Delicious infuses a special touch throughout the process. We design our packaging to add a unique and artistic element to your home to enjoy your candle even when not lit. We create our scents to invoke memories and emotions tied to an experience – like taking you back to a favorite vacation spot or reminding you of Christmas morning. Yes, luxury candles cost more. But they’re worth it – and so are you. Soy Delicious Candles truly are love at first light...which one will you choose?

6 At-Home Spa Ideas to Create Self-Care Bliss

Taking time to recharge, unwind, and indulge yourself is a must. But going to your favorite spa isn’t always an option. Instead, an at-home spa treatment is just what you need! We’ve put together a list of at-home spa ideas so you relax, rejuvenate, and create a blissful spa day. Get ready to treat yourself! Set the mood Spas are amazing because they know how to set the mood for different spaces using lighting and sound. You’ll want to do the same for your home space when setting up an at-home spa day. So whether you’re keeping your spa day in your bathroom or letting spill out into your bedroom, make sure to do the following: Clear any clutter that will keep you from relaxing. If you’re obsessing over a pile of laundry, you won’t get to fully recharge. Get out your best and softest towels & bathrobe. You deserve to luxuriate in top-quality linens. Dim the lights or pull the curtains. You want your space to feel intimate and cozy. Play calming music or nature sounds. Whatever you prefer, so long as it’s soothing. Light a few scented candles for an aromatic atmosphere. Calming scents like lavender, eucalyptus, peppermint, and chamomile are popular choices for their relaxing properties. Turn off your electronics. It’s tempting to scroll social media while soaking, but instead, shut your phone down and pick up your favorite book or magazine. Or just close your eyes and float. Get some snacks Lay out a little spread for yourself to snack on during or after your at-home spa day. Think about putting together snacks like fruit & nuts or a small cheese platter with all your favorites. You can even add an array of herbal teas to enjoy. If you prefer something cold, turn your favorite tea into iced tea or make a pitcher of water flavored with cucumbers & mint. Treat your face A great at-home spa idea is to give yourself a facial. A good facial includes cleansing, exfoliating, and nourishing your skin. Use your favorite skin care products or put together a few DIY options. And don’t forget the cucumber slices! Cooled cucumber slices do wonders to reduce puffiness and refresh your eyes. If you don’t have any cucumber, try cooled chamomile tea bags or gel eye masks. Treat your hair A spa day at home is the perfect time to give your hair some deep-conditioning love. You can use a deep conditioner or hair mask – whichever you prefer. Or can make your own using natural ingredients like coconut oil, honey, or avocado to nourish and hydrate your tresses. Treat your body Take a nice long soak in a warm bath using bath salts, essential oils, or bath bombs. As you let all that steamy goodness soak into your muscles, use the time to sip on a cool drink, listen to soothing sounds, and read. Or meditate. Whatever you prefer! Step it up by adding a scattering of rose petals to your bathwater and light a scented candle. Our travel-sized candles fit perfectly in bathrooms limited on space. Before getting out, gently exfoliate your body using a homemade scrub. Or use our sustainably crafted, natural Sugar Scrub. Nourish your skin After you finish your bath, restore moisture to your skin by applying a lotion or moisturizer. If you’re burning a Soy Delicious candle, you can use the melted wax as an aromatherapy moisturizer for your body! We use eco and human-friendly ingredients. Or use our Body Lotion and Body Oil (for a moisturizing finishing touch). You deserve to be pampered! So start planning your next at-home spa experience. The key is to create a relaxing environment that promotes a calm mind and body. And customize these spa day ideas to fit your preferences – because it’s all about you! What is your favorite at-home spa idea? Leave us a comment below.

7 Simple Tips to Help Declutter Your Home for the New Year

In Chinese tradition, families often clean out and declutter their homes before the start of the Chinese New Year to drive away bad luck and allow the year to start fresh. Why not adopt this as your New Year’s tradition? It may seem overwhelming to think about cleaning out your entire home. But you don’t need to feel that way! Instead, set a small goal of getting one task done a day. It’ll be an easy way to clear out your home space without feeling like you’re taking on too much. To help you out, here are 7 easy steps you can take to declutter your home! Start with your holiday clutter. I’m sure, like most, you add new holiday decorations to your home every year. But do you really need to keep everything you have? As you pack up your holiday stuff, start assessing what you can get rid of. And, if you don’t have dedicated storage bins or boxes for your holiday decorations, this is a great time to purchase a few you can use to store everything for next year. Assess your gift situation. We all have gifts we end up hanging onto because we don’t quite know what to do with them. So we put them in a closet where the gift sits, taking up space. But now is the time to pull that item out and give it to someone who will love it. Also, look at the new gifts you got this year. Did something you receive replace an older item in your home? Don’t hang on to both. Set aside the older item for donation or the trash. Clearing out the space will allow you to fully enjoy the new gift. Pick one room in your home to declutter. Instead of looking at every room in your home, pick one room you’d really like to declutter. Then get yourself 5 bins and follow this system as you sort through the room: Put away bin: anything that needs to be put back in its proper place Recycle bin: anything that can be recycled Fix/update bin: anything that needs to be fixed or updated to be used later Donate bin: anything in good enough condition that can be donated Trash bin: anything that can’t be fixed, recycled, or donated Feeling inspired? Use this same system in another room on a different day. If you pace yourself, you may just declutter every room in your house! Take that trip to the donation center. So you’ve sorted your holiday decorations, gifts, and a room (or more!) in your home. You probably have several bags or boxes of items ready for the donation bin. So instead of leaving it sitting in your garage or hallway waiting for weeks to be dropped off, do it now! Not sure where to donate your items? Donate to local Goodwills, charities, schools, or women’s shelters. These places will allow your donated items to have a second life and help someone in need. Clean out any spaces with paper clutter. This may feel like a big task depending on how much paper you hang on to from school, work, and other random places. But it’s definitely time to get rid of those magazines from 4 years ago. And while you’re at it, go through drawers, bookcases, shelves, and other cubbies to sort out all the extra paperwork you accumulate through the years. Tip: Not ready to recycle those magazines? Tear out the articles or images you want to keep and place those into a folder or binder. That way you have what’s important to you, and you open up some space.Transform your junk drawers into organized drawers. Here’s an easy win: Take a moment to organize your junk drawers! We all have at least one drawer filled with trinkets, bolts, coins, wires, and other bits of stuff we’re not sure we should get rid of. Go through the drawer, throw away anything that you haven’t used in a year, and organize the rest into drawer organizers. It’s a small step with big rewards. You’ll love not seeing that pile of stuff anymore! Sage your newly decluttered space! Now that your space is more organized and has less clutter, it’s a great time to reset the energy by saging (aka, “smudging”) your home. Burning sage in your home is a great way to set your new clutter-free intention for your home space. Our Soy Delicious Sage candle is perfect for this! Commit to staying clutter-free. Make it your goal to declutter your space 10-15 minutes a day. If that feels overwhelming, start at 5 minutes and set a timer. And these can be small tasks to keep yourself and your things organized. Instead of letting the mail pile up, sort through the paperwork daily and toss, shred, or file it away. Make sure your kids put their toys away every night and use it as an opportunity to toss anything that’s broken. These tasks don’t have to be a huge effort. Just what you do to keep your home organized and clutter-free. Now that your home space is cleaned out, what next? Spark some new joy in your home with one of our fabulous candles. Read How to Decorate Your Home with Soy Delicious Candles for some great ideas! Soy Delicious Candles truly are love at first light… which one will you choose?

7 Ways to Practice Self-Care During the Holidays

The holiday season is a time of magic and fun with family and friends. But it can also be a time of stress as you try to create a memorable holiday for yourself and your loved ones. So to make your holidays less stressful and more magical, it’s important to practice holiday self-care! Remember: The holiday season is only wonderful if you’re feeling good, relaxed, and healthy so you can enjoy your time with your family. To make your holiday self-care a priority this season, here are 7 tips! Get shopping done early and do it online. Nothing makes the holidays more stressful than fighting crowds of people as you go to 4 different stores looking for that one perfect gift your partner’s mom will love. So why not skip the stress and find your gifts online? There’s no crowds, no jammed parking lots, and you can do it all while sipping your favorite holiday beverage. Need some help with your gift list this year? Check out our 2022 Soy Delicious Holiday Gift Guide. Use the 3-day rule when hosting guests. Hosting can be fun, but also exhausting. Yes, having your sister stay with you is great, but having your nephews use all the hot water or your brother-in-law drink all your good coffee, not so much. So if you’re planning on hosting guests this year, use the 3-day rule to help save you stress and your sanity. Enjoy yourself in moderation. Between the Christmas cookies, Thanksgiving pies, and all the special foods your family makes once a year, it’s easy to over drink and eat. But that leads to bloating, tiredness, and a hangover. This year, still enjoy all the holiday food you love – but in moderation. Think 2 Christmas cookies instead of 10. Or keep portions small at holiday events so you can try a bit of everything. Also when drinking, use the 1:1 rule – for every alcoholic beverage you drink, drink a glass of water. Your body will thank you in the morning. Practice relaxation techniques to manage stress. If the thought of listening to your aunt tell you a detailed description of her road trip to Michigan or wrapping all the gifts for your family and packing it into the car gets your blood pressure spiking – stop and take a deep breath. That’s the first relaxation technique you need. Next, try meditating, listening to soothing music, or any of these 6 relaxation techniques to help you reduce your holiday stress and allow you to enjoy the festivities. Make time for exercise. And it doesn’t have to be intense exercise. Even a 5-minute walk around the block, using the stairs, or parking further away from the store can help! But if you have more time, then take a long walk, do some yoga, or bust out a Christmas party album and dance. Whatever you can do to get your body moving. Not only will it relieve stress, but it will help your energy and release those feel-good endorphins. Get some sleep. Between wrapping all the gifts, decorating your home, making holiday foods, and attending family gatherings, sleep may be low on the list of things you do this holiday season. But it’s so important not to skimp on your sleep! You need your rest to stay healthy and strong both physically and mentally. Otherwise, you may make none of your holiday parties when you crash from lack of sleep or catch a winter illness. So know your limits and set boundaries for yourself – and yes, that may mean leaving a holiday party early if needed. Carve out time to pamper yourself. You may feel like you have no time for yourself during the holidays, but this is when it’s most important to practice self-care. Even just 10 minutes of self-care a day can make a difference! How you decide to pamper yourself can look different for everyone. Try reading a book, writing in your journal, sitting in silence, or turning a long shower into a mini spa. How? Light your favorite Soy Delicious Candle, let the scent envelope you as you shower, and then use the melted wax as a special skin moisturizer. Doesn’t that sound just perfect? At Soy Delicious, we’re wishing you a happy, healthy, and self-care filled holiday season!

Cotton Wicks: Why They’re The Best Wick To Use For A Candle

Candles can have different wicks: paper, hemp, cotton, or synthetic fibers. And there’s a lot that goes into picking the right wick for a candle. A candle maker has to consider the size & shape of the candle, the desired burn time, the flame size, and the fragrance throw when choosing a wick. But at Soy Delicious, we believe the best wick for a candle is a cotton wick. Let’s talk about the wonderful benefits of using cotton wicks. Cotton wicks burn clean. We don’t want our candles to pollute your home by putting off chemicals or soot. And we want to help keep the areas around your candles clean. This is just one of the reasons why we use cotton wicks. Cotton wicks produce less smoke and soot than most other materials. Having a cleaner burning candle is important – especially if you have allergies or sensitivities to environmental irritants. Cotton wicks burn consistently. It’s important to us that our customers get the most out of their candles. And a good, consistent burn will allow you to enjoy your candle for hours. Soy Delicious candles burn for up to 70 hours! Cotton wicks also burn evenly and steadily during the life of the candle. This helps prevent tunneling and uneven melting – which will affect your candle’s overall performance and appearance. Cotton wicks are versatile & efficient. One of the great elements of a cotton wick is that it works well with a variety of waxes and comes in a range of sizes & thicknesses. This versatility makes it suitable for a range of candle shapes and sizes. Plus, cotton wicks are efficient because they burn at a high temperature, allowing for a better diffusion of the candle’s fragrance. Add in the fact they don’t need a lot of maintenance or adjustment during burning, making cotton wicks a reliable option. Cotton wicks are eco-friendly. It's important to us that the ingredients we use are environmentally friendly – from the wax blend we pour to the reusable glass container. And cotton is a natural and renewable material, making it a more sustainable option compared to synthetic wick materials. We know our candles are worth the best ingredients because our customers deserve the best. That’s why we use a blend of environmentally friendly waxes and ingredients hand-poured into a reusable glass container. Our exclusive blend of soy, coconut, and hemp waxes is safe for both the environment and your skin. You can use the melted wax from a Soy Delicious candle as a skin moisturizer! And luxuriate in the amazing aromatherapy that will delight all your senses. Our candles come in 10.5 ounce size, travel size, and blocks. So whether you're on vacation or in your bathroom, these sizes allow you to bring your favorite scents wherever you go. Soy Delicious Candles truly are love at first light...which one will you choose?

Everything You Need to Know About Candle Wax and Indoor Air Quality

Candles are an amazing way to bring beautiful scents into your home to bring back memories and envelop your senses. And you want those candles to fill a room with goodness and not soot & smoke. So how do you know if your candles are affecting your indoor air quality? Let’s talk about what happens to a candle when it’s burned and the impact on your indoor air. Where does candle wax go when it’s burned? Whenever you light a candle, it undergoes a chemical reaction called combustion. This is when the candle wax breaks apart and mixes with oxygen to create carbon dioxide and water vapor. The byproducts are then released into the surrounding air along with heat and light energy. But not all of the wax in your candle will change to carbon dioxide and water vapor. Whenever you see soot or black residue on the candle wick or on surrounding surfaces, that’s unburned carbon molecules from the wax. Do candles made from synthetic waxes release chemicals into the air? Yes. Synthetic candles are typically made from petroleum-based waxes that can release VOCs (volatile organic compounds). VOCs include toluene, benzene, and formaldehyde. The amount of indoor air pollution from VOCs will depend on: Type and quality of the candle Ventilation of the room Duration and frequency of candle burning Do candles made from natural waxes release chemicals into the air? Yes. BUT natural candle waxes release only natural byproducts (carbon dioxide and water vapor) when burned. Since natural candles use natural waxes like soy, hemp, and beeswax, there are no chemicals that get released into your indoor air. But it’s still important to have proper ventilation and candle care to help your indoor air quality. Are Soy Delicious candles bad for indoor air quality? No, Soy Delicious candles aren’t bad for indoor air quality. We craft our candles using only natural waxes, cotton wicks, and scents free of synthetics and dyes. So when you burn a Soy Delicious candle, it only releases natural byproducts (carbon dioxide and water vapor). Our goal at Soy Delicious is to give you a luxurious candle experience using human-safe and environmentally friendly ingredients. How can minimize air pollution in my home from candles? There are several ways you can keep your indoor air cleaner when burning candles. Use candles made from natural materials – natural candle waxes like coconut or soy release fewer compounds into the air and mainly release natural byproducts. Look for candles marked “clean-burning” or “low VOC” – these candles are made to release fewer chemicals into the air. Make sure you have proper room ventilation – good air circulation from windows, opened doors, and fans will help keep your indoor air cleaner. Don’t forget to trim your candle wick – a properly trimmed wick will keep your candle from sooting or putting off smoke. Limit how long you burn your candle – be mindful of how long and how frequently you burn your candles to reduce the compounds released into the air (this is less of an issue with natural candles). Use our candle care tips to keep your candle burning clean and long! To help keep your candles in the best condition, we have several tips you can follow. Check out Candle Care 101 and How To Store Your Candles To Get Long-Lasting Fragrance & Quality. All of our candles are personally crafted using eco-friendly, natural materials that have a long, clean burn of up to 70 hours. And because our candles use natural waxes, you can use the melted candle wax as a skin moisturizer. Every light of our cotton wick will envelop your senses with skillfully layered scents that feel luxurious. Soy Delicious Candles truly are love at first light… which one will you choose?

How To Store Your Candles To Get Long-Lasting Fragrance & Quality

You treated yourself and bought a luxury candle you’ve had your eye on. But now that you have your amazing candle, how can you make sure it’ll last you a long time? Proper candle storage! To preserve the scent, maintain quality, and get long hours of burn, you’ll need to protect your candle when it’s not in use. So let’s talk about 3 ways to protect and store your candles! Store your candles away from heat. Candle wax and scents are sensitive to heat. When a candle is near heat, it will cause the wax to soften or melt. This will warp and mishap the wax and cause it to lose scent strength. Because even when your candle is not lit, it loses fragrance molecules when exposed to heat or air. So store your candles away from heat sources, like radiators, ovens, appliances, and direct sunlight. If you live in a hot or humid environment like Florida, don’t store your candles outside or leave them on the patio. They’ll melt away before you get to fully enjoy them! Store your candles in a cool, dark place like a cupboard, closet, or pantry. Anywhere that doesn’t get hotter than room temperature. Store your candles away from moisture. Moisture – like water or humidity – can damage your candle’s wax or weaken the scent. So avoid storing your candles in places that get humid or where water can leak. It’s best to put your candles in a place where they’ll stay dry. Store your candles away from sunlight. Your candle may look nice sitting in the window, but the sun can damage your candles in 2 different ways. First, the heat from the sun will soften and warp the shape and cause the fragrance to fade. And it can even damage the wick, making it difficult to light. Second, if your candle has colors, the UV rays will fade those colors over time. This also applies to direct light sources like lamps. Be careful about leaving a beloved candle sitting under a lamp all day. Here are a few other candle storage tips: Cover your candles to preserve the scent by placing a lid or glass cloche over the candle. Store your candles upright to keep the wax from shifting or becoming damaged. Store different scented candles separately so the scents don’t mix. Follow our other candle care tips for longer-lasting candles! With proper storage, you can get the best out of your candles until the last drops of wax! Our candles will burn clean for up to 70 hours when cared for properly. Soy Delicious Candles truly are love at first light...which one will you choose?

Smudging 101: How to Sage Your Home, Office, or Living Space

Burning sage (aka, “smudging”) to cleanse people, places, and energy is a practice that has been around for over 4,000 years. Many ancient cultures – and modern ones – burn sage to promote clarity, wisdom, and healing. And using sage in your home or office is the perfect ritual to reset your space or make a new home feel more like yours. Think of it this way – we work out and eat well to take care of our bodies. Think of smudging as part of your spiritual hygiene and one way you take care of your spiritual energy. Let’s dive into all things smudging, and why you should use sage in your home. What does burning sage in a home, office, or living space do? Burning sage in your home or office is used to help diffuse negative energy in the high-traffic areas where energy likes to gather. Smudging will help promote positive energy and healing, as well as reset the space. So whenever you have a party or stressful meeting, or the energy in the room feels crowded or negative, burning sage will help clear that out – freeing it up for more positive feelings and energy. What are the physical benefits of smudging a home or space? Smoke from burning sage disinfects the air by killing bacteria. Plus, sage smoke releases negative ions which have been linked to putting people in good moods. So you get to clean your air and feel good after burning sage! How do I sage my home? 1. Gather high-quality sage Don’t just go to Amazon and buy whatever smudging kit you can find. It’s important to use ethically sourced and cultivated sage. Because the intention in the cultivation is just as important as your intention for the ceremony. If you want sage you can burn multiple times, you’ll love our SAGE candle. It’s made with environmentally friendly and ethically sourced ingredients, comes in a zero-waste glass container, and is hand-poured to maintain integrity. With a 70-hour long-lasting, clean burn, you’ll be able to sage your living spaces many times! 2. Prepare your mind & the room When you sage your home, it’s important to have a positive mindset and clear intentions. One way to do this is to clean the room you plan to smudge. Don’t feel you need to rush this process. Take your time to set the space to whatever feels “right” so you can focus on having a calm mind for the saging ritual. If you need to, meditate after cleaning to calm your body and mind. 3. Open the windows & doors All that negative energy needs somewhere to go. By making sure you open up the windows and doors in the space you’re saging, the energy has a pathway to exit the room. Otherwise, the negative energy gets trapped, canceling out the positive effects of the smudging ceremony. 4. Light with care If using a sage bundle to burn, make sure you have a container to use to catch any ash as you move around the room and to place the bundle after you’re done. If you’re using our SAGE candle for your ceremony, you won’t need to worry about catching any ash! But it’s a good idea to read our candle care tips to get the most out of your candle, along with a few safety tips. 5. Move around the room As you move around the room with your sage, pay special attention to the corners, the front of mirrors, and anywhere the energy feels crowded. As you do, say a mantra, affirmation, or prayer to make the saging more powerful. It also doesn’t hurt to ask out loud for the negative energy to leave – this helps further set your intention both verbally and in your mind’s eye. And now your room has been reset – ready for you to enjoy and further build positive intentions and affirmations! Want to reset your living spaces even further?

Where To Place Candles In Your Home: The 3 Top Spots

Candles can provide a decorating final touch or the perfect scent to enhance a moment. Between the beauty of a candle and its amazing scent, it can elevate any room or occasion. But it can be difficult to figure out where the best place is to put your scented candle. To help take out the guesswork, here are the 3 best spots we recommend you place your candles in your home. First, some quick tips on candle placement: Consider the purpose of the room. Do you like to meditate and relax in the space? Do you work or read in the room? This can help you figure out which candle scent is best based on the activities you use the room for. Next, consider the room’s size. A small room (like a bathroom) will only need one candle. Even a travel-size candle or plug-in candle warmer would work in a small room. A medium-sized room (like a bedroom) can handle 1 to 2 candles depending on how fragrant the candle is. A large room can handle 2 or more candles. But consider both the size of the room and the height of the ceiling. You may need multiple candles (or multiple 2-wick candles) placed throughout the room to achieve your desired look and allow the scent to envelop the entire space. Bedroom Your bedroom is your oasis away from the stressors of the day. It’s where you go to relax and drift off to sleep. And it’s where the tone of your day is set when you wake up. So you’ll want a tranquil atmosphere that allows you to relax or meditate to prepare your mind and body. When thinking about where to place a candle in your bedroom, look at end tables, dressers, shelves, and desks. Just make sure to keep your candle away from any curtains, blankets, bedding, and other fabrics. And never fall asleep with your candle burning. Some candle scents best for a bedroom are: Lavender Vanilla Rose Sandalwood Jasmine Our Fleur candle will help create both a feeling of calm and romance (when you need it) with its smell of roses and a hint of jasmine. Living room Your living room is the space where you spend most of your free time. So it needs to be cozy, warm, and inviting. Look at end tables, coffee tables, and fireplace mantels as optimal places for candle placement. Remember to keep candles away from other decorative pieces and areas where they’ll be easily knocked into (or grabbed by children). Candle scents ideal for a living room are: Vanilla Pine Cinnamon Lavender Sandalwood Our Luxe Home candle is the perfect scent for your living room with its warm scent of sandalwood and hints of linen & jasmine. Bathroom Whether soaking in a bath or taking a steamy shower, your bathroom is the place for much needed self care. You want the space to be soothing with a spa-like atmosphere. Plus, a candle's soft light is perfect for a low-light bathing experience. The top places for candles are countertops, shelves, or on the back of the toilet. If your candle is small enough, it can also go on the edge of the bathtub. But make sure your candles are away from any towels or other paper products. The top candle scents for the bathroom are: Citrus Eucalyptus Mint Lavender Ginger Our Eucalyptus candle is the ideal scent to make your bathroom feel like a place of sanctuary. We hope you’ve found some inspiration for where to place candles throughout your home. Read our candle care tips so you get every moment of burning enjoyment out of your new candle.

Why Sage Candles Are Perfect for Cleansing for the New Year

Soy Delicious Candles understands that every New Year we make the decision of “out with the old & in with the new!” January is when we desire to cleanse, refresh, and renew our homes and ourselves. We decide to clear out all the past things that no longer serve us and make room for what we desire. If you’re feeling like you need a new start and you want to clear out the things that are not a part of fulfilling your purpose, then the fresh, earthy herbal scent of our Soy Delicious SAGE Candle will get you in the cleansing and refreshing mood! Be uplifted, inspired, and grounded by our delicious SAGE Candle. The citrusy scents with a hint of musk will help you tap into the flow of your creativity. Whether you need to clear your social media, electronic data, closets, or clear your mind, this candle is the perfect companion to get you started and motivate your senses toward accomplishing your decluttering goals. Sage has always been known for its powerful yet subtle cleansing and healing properties. Many people swear by sage as a treatment for cuts, wounds, bruises, and insect bites. Sage also has been known to help with inflammation and many other conditions, including arthritis. With all the natural healing elements sage possesses, it only makes sense to use it throughout your home to activate its many benefits no matter which room you’re in. If you are serious about creating a fresh, new YOU this new year, then why not burn a Soy Delicious SAGE Candle? It’s perfect for burning anytime — maybe in a new apartment for a fresh start, in a room to clear out any negative energy, or as you meditate on your new intentions. Using sage for cleansing may seem to be a fairly new trend in the spiritual and wellness communities, but it’s actually an ancient ritual the New Age movement and healing modalities have adopted. Sage cleansing gathered attention in the West only a few decades ago. At first, it seemed weird to Western analytical minds, but when the benefits of sage cleansing garnered results, more and more people started practicing the technique. This tradition has been around and used by almost all ancient cultures of the world – bringing health, newness, and prosperity. Using sage in a cleansing ritual is very simple, and anyone can practice it. Light your candle, set your intention, and allow the sage to fill the room. But the benefits of your Soy Delicious SAGE Candle doesn’t end with cleansing. You also get: A candle made with organic, human-friendly soy, cotton, and glass materials. A full-sized candle (10.5 oz) of soy wax for a long-lasting, clean burn for up to 70 hours. A bamboo spoon to help apply the luxurious soy to your skin for a perfect moment of self-care. From our hearts to yours, we wish you a happy, healthy, refreshing, prosperous year from the Soy Delicious Candle Family… Happy Cleansing!
