Up-Clycled Coconut Candles for your home and backyard

July 5, 2023July 10, 2023 Erin Sluka

If you appreciate environmentally-friendly brands that use up-cycled and natural products, then Backyard Candles is your new favorite! In every way possible, the shell, wax, fragrances and even packaging is 100% natural and recyclable in these coconut candles.

The candle vessels are made with coconut shells, reusable glass, ceramics, eco-resin, and tins. All crushed and reinvented into a candle base – that floats! Inside the coconut shell is clean-burning wax and 100% natural fragrances. Soy, coconut, and beeswax are 100% natural and clean burning when paired with its lead-free cotton and ethically sourced cedar-wood wicks.

Phthalate-free fragrance oils and therapeutic grade essential oils are used to create their 52 scent options in these coconut candles. To finish off, all of their packaging is biodegradable and/or recyclable.

I am burning 2 scents – Cucumber Melon and Citronella & Lemongrass. These really do float! This candle can float in calm water when buoyant by 1/2 inch. You get a great burn time. These are packaged well and make great gifts and a fun ambiance for the home or yard. Choose from indoor or outdoor candle types. Shop all Backyard Candles!

I was provided samples so I can experience for an honest review.

I love nothing more than to relax in a clean, fresh and organized room. With all of the wiping and cleaning I do, it is important I am not leaving harsh chemicals behind. If you have felt even a little bit worried about the ingredients that are in your cleaning supplies, especially bathroom and other surface cleaners, let me introduce you to Lemi Shine natural and non-toxic cleaners.

Lemi Shine has bleach-free, non-toxic and very effective cleaning products, which utilize the natural power of citric acid. I was browsing their products and noticed that many have The Safer Choice label. This means that EPA scientists have evaluated every ingredient in their products to ensure they meet Safer Choice’s stringent criteria for safe products. The natural ingredients such as citric acid and essential oils work to make sure you leave no toxins behind as you clean and disinfect.

Bare Candle Company uses natural ingredients and premium fragrance oils

June 27, 2022June 25, 2022 Erin Sluka

I am not sure what I am most excited about looking at my Bare Candle Company candles – burning these great scents or finding creative uses for these reusable jars when done. These bare candles are as natural as they look. Each candle is crafted with wax made entirely from soybeans grown in the United States. This reduces its carbon footprint while providing local jobs.

Bare candles are vegan-friendly, cruelty-free, and made with no paraffins, phthalates, parabens, or prop 65 chemicals. Aside from how sustainably made these are, the scents are fantastic.

I have 2 scents – Citrus + Fig and Eucalyptus + Spearmint. The scents are made with synthetic fragrance oils which protects natural resources as opposed to purely essential oils that take a lot of plants/earth to create enough scent for a number of candles. Bare Candle Co. scents are sustainable.

Every candle is made with 100% soy wax which offers a cleaner, longer burn. Visit bare Candle Co. to order your favorite scents and feel better about what you burn in you home around your family.
