Years ago, when my children were young, they used to buy me my favourite type of candle. A beeswax rustic pillar!! Each Mother’s Day I would hint at the idea, and their father and the girls would find me what I so desired. At the time I didn’t really even know of all the health benefits of the beeswax candles. I learned of that much later. I just really enjoyed the brilliant light and the extravagant honey smell of these beautiful candles. I didn’t even know how to take care of the candle properly back them. If it began to tunnel, I would use a sharp knife and cut off the excess beeswax and unfortunately, throw it away. Then I was able to use the candle again. I’ve learned so much since those days and one day in April of 2019, I became inspired to make my own beeswax candles. I don’t understand where that idea came from, maybe divinely inspired, but I am forever grateful. Why not make my own?

I began researching and reading and began to accumulate the tools required to make these beautiful candles. I learned they release negative ions into the air to cleanse the air, they are environmental since you can burn then all the way to a very thin sliver (no waste). I use cotton wicking in the candles which do not harm our environment. They do not harm our home environment or our lungs and they always burn very bright. They burn quite a lot longer than their paraffin or soy alternatives.

I knew this is what I wanted to do now and later in my retirement. What a joy it would be to create healthy, beautiful candles in my retirement!!!
