Look How Cute!

 Just wanted to show off one of my candles. Look how cute they turned out! The wax is all soy, and I colored it a light green. I sprinkled some candy on top for cuteness!

Candle Making In St. Louis

 Today was candle making day and while the last batch is cooling, before pouring, I thought I would post a few pictures. Most of the candles will be going to a new shop next week. The rest will be on Etsy and a local St. Louis shop called Le Shoe (yes they sell shoes, but I have a whole section just for my bath and body products!) Today I made:
Blackberry Fizz
Green Apple Candy
Sugar Cookies
Seaside
Georgia Peach

 Most of the scents are blends I put together. To say my basement smells interesting is an understatement!

The little red pitcher I purchased at Hobby Lobby last year. I am pouring (last batch) Green Candy Apple in them.

The little votive jars were bought to hold my votive candles, but my candles are too big for the container, so I am pouring the wax directly in the holders.

The last picture is the Green Apple Candy all melted and ready to pour. I am going to sprinkle candy sprinkles on the top.

Whew....I am almost done, and my feet need are killing me!

Spring Forward!

I don't know if it's because of all the dreary days St. Louis has had, or because of the upcoming snow storm forecast for tomorrow, but I am itching for Spring. I worked on my Spring line today and decided to play with some soap base. This soap was made with Tulip fragrance oil, but it smells more "green" to me, so I'm going to market it as a unisex (hate this term!) scent.

I colored the bars with teal mica and used clear soap for the middle. I love the contrast with the clear soap! I named the soap Spring Forward.My lip balm inventory is very low, so today I made several batches. Cola is a new scent and it smells just like Coke! I also made Cucumber Slices, Birthday Cake, Snickerdoodle, and Dark Chocolate.

I found these mugs at a local store, and immediately thought CANDLES! I made two of each: Blue = Clean Cotton, Yellow = Lemon Poppy Seed, and Pink = Peppermint Bark
All of these will be added to our new shop at Fusion, which is located in Chesterfield Mall (second floor, next to Sears), and to my Etsy shop.
