While on vacation visiting family- I was able to do something really cool that I have never done before; make my own candles! I saw candles all over my cousin's house and my aunt's house from a company (not mentioning the name, it is only in their state) so we decided to take a trip to the store! I made two of my own 8 oz. candles for $9 each- which I think is not a bad price! At this store, you could either buy them in 8 oz. glass jars, or make blend your own in a variety of sizes! You could also buy 4 candles in 4 oz. jars for $21 in a theme (Romantic, Beach, etc.) I blended 3 different oils with a natural soy base- came back an hour later, and voila! I had two custom blended candles.
Brown Sugar+Cinnamon+Sugar Cookie= Snickerdoodle Cookie
Marshmallow+Dark Chocolate+Graham Cracker=S'mores
Here are a few links to DIY candle shops that I found websites for, as well as tutorials to make your own candles. I also included some places to buy good quality candles online that I got high recommendations from youtube gurus, and blogs. *None of these companies are influencing or paying me in any way to link their company.*
