I remember helping my mom cook, probably by request, not because I was a kind, giving daughter. I may or may not have had a bad attitude about it. She would always tell me "You can't cook angry, you will make the food nasty! You have to cook love into your food!"
Maddie and I think that philosophy is true, we also think it applies to candles. Have you ever smelled, burnt and enjoyed a hand poured candle? One made by someone who cares about the products they are using and the way each one turns out? If you haven't you will enjoy the treat at the end of this post. If you have you will want to stick around too.
Candles, hand poured, with love, sky rocket to the top of our favorite-products-to-buy Laundry List. Of those, I am a sucker for Wax Buffalo. I haven't met Alicia, the chandler (aka candle maker and also my brother's name.) but I have followed her work for a couple years now as she is a friend of a friend. The first candle I smelled was Sweet Tobacco and from there I was sold. She has a magical ability to make real smelling candles. I mean, she really collects the honest sent of something and sticks it into a candle.
I love buying candles because they don't last forever like a decorative pillow. They are the perfect room changing decoration that you can recycle when it's gone. They sent a mood in any space. Alicia's candles come in different kinds of containers and several scents making them perfect for everyone! Need I say more?
