How to make scented soy wax candles at home

 Who doesn't love a good candle? You use candles to scent your home or office, to unwind or even to take away smells of food and cigar or cigarette smoke. But have you thought of trying your hand at making your own candles? It's super easy and fun for the whole family. There are easy accessible kits at both your local department and craft stores, see this episode here , where I used a candle making kit from Walmart! With kits you can not control the type of wax you have but you can definitely get the wax you need and that I personally prefer from a craft section from the discount department stores or from the craft store online or in store.

One Fact About Baths You Probably Didn't Know About

 One Fact About Baths You Probably Didn't Know About


Have you seen our minis on YouTube? We've been playing with these shorts videos and as a result we're going to start rolling out different facts regarding bathing and skin benefits of certain additives or ingredients.






One fact that the video below states: is how soaking in a warm bath for at least 15-20 minutes will decrease your blood pressure by increasing the blood flow which in turn, will help to promote relaxation in the body.








You will find the longer you sit in the tub, the more your muscles will start to retract and loosen and you will be most comfortable with diminished tension in your body. 






Bathing promotes more health benefits than it does harm to the body. If you're interested in more bath facts, let me know in the comments what makes you wary or keeps you from taking that next step in totally submerging yourself in a warm bath full of just water or your favorite bath treats.

The Way of Color | Avatar : The Way of Water inspired cold process soap

The Way of Color is a soap collection solely inspired by the movie, Avatar: The Way of Water. It was a magnificent movie with lots of color and the most interesting looking creatures. The action and the graphics were top notch and you just can't forget about all the gorgeous water scenes. With that, inspiration took and I got to work on one of the most color collections I have ever put together; aside from making a 3 tier birthday cake ( SEE FIRST VIDEO HERE ), starting with the right bar soap.  When creating this soap in particular, I wanted you, the buyer, to feel where I was coming from and what I meant by "The Way of Color" being the name of this collection and the correlation with the Avatar movie. I wanted it to be vibrant but also sea-like, it needed color and lots of it. Colors that would pop and make the eyes excited. Once we got the perfect colors, we needed the best, most mouth watering scent to make your tastebuds excited. I concocted a scent blend of citruse...
