Exciting Updates!

We have some very exciting news.

First bit of news:  We want to let everyone know that our candles are now also being sold at The Emporium in Falcon, CO.  The Emporium is a lovely and homey embroidery shop where they also sell handcrafted items from local artists.  What a wonderful little niche in Falcon!  I think it’s a jewel.  The owners of the shop and the people who work there are fabulous, personable people that make everyone feel welcome the moment they walk in.  It is a wonderful place with excellent embroidery and unique hand crafted goods.

So, if you are interested in purchasing our candles, you may call or email us directly or purchase them at Salon 105 in Palmer Lake and at The Emporium in Falcon, CO.

Second bit of news:  To complement our all natural essential oil soy wax candles, we are now also offering 100% pure, certified therapeutic grade essential oils.  This has been one of our desires for the past couple of months, and it has finally come to fruition.  We are extremely excited to offer these essential oils to our customers.  For more detailed information about the oils we are offering, please visit our Essential Oils for Health and Healing blog.  You may also email or call me, if you’d like to chat in person to learn more or to get some samples of the oils.

Happy New Year!

The Aromatherapy Candle Challenge

We realize there are quite a few people who are sensitive or allergic to the fragrance put out by scented candles.  Most of the common symptoms associated with the sensitivity are headaches, a tickle in the throat, and some trouble with breathing.

We are very curious to conduct a test with any individual who may be willing to give it a try.  We are asking for people who are typically sensitive to regular candles to try one of our aromatherapy candles (the most natural scented candle that can be bought) and to let us know if they still have sensitivity. 

Here’s how the challenge works: 

You purchase one of our aromatherapy candles, burn it for four hours straight within two weeks of purchase, and immediately report back to us your experience.  If you experience any sensitivity or are unsatisfied with the candle for any reason, we will pick up the candle from you, and give you 100% of your money back.  If the candle works out for you and you decide to keep it, we will give you a 3 oz. aromatherapy candle as a thank you gift. 

It’s that simple. 

I have a neighbor who purchased one of our Lavender aromatherapy candles.  She expressed having sensitivities to regular candles.  When I checked in with her after she had burned our Lavender candle, she told me that she did not experience the usual sensitivity symptoms like she had in the past.  She said the candle did not adversely affect her in any way and was very pleased with it.

If you’d like to take “The Essential Oil Challenge”, contact us at your convenience and let us know.

Thanks so much!
