Self Essentials' Soy Candles Have Been Reviewed In Sally Owen's "In My Opinion" Blog!

Recently I discovered a really lovely company that makes soy candles of every shape, size, color and scent. I am a particular fan of soy candles because of how clean they burn. I hate the black and sooty result of burning non-soy candles and many of my candles are not soy. Sooo, I end up having to wipe the insides of my jars when burning my candles to keep the black soot away.

Self Essentials is a company that is found in New York City and they hand craft all of their candles. I know so many people who RAVE about essential oils and I know how wonderful these oils are in lotions and creams. They also smell great so I was really excited to see how Self Essential's candles smell with these essential oils in them. So, for this review I was sent a Frosted Red Valentine's Day Soy Candle in a beautiful gift box. I had my choice of several scents (Chocolate Kisses, Lick Me All Over, Sensual Seduction, Rose Petals and Unscented) and I chose Chocolate Kisses.

My candle arrived the other day and upon opening the box I was greeted by a white gift box with a pretty red bow on top. The label on the box was very elegant as well. The candle itself was nestled in red paper "grass" and I could immediately smell chocolate. :) This is a 7 ounce candle that smells beautiful when lit. Self Essentials suggests letting the candle burn for three hours in order to create an even burn. Mine has now been burning for about 2 hours and the scent is wonderful. This candle looks really beautiful in a dark room when burning too...the red frosted glass glows very nicely and creates a very romantic ambiance. The Frosted Red Valentine's Day Soy Candle retails for $13.60 on Self Essentials website and would make the PERFECT gift for your Valentine.

So, in my opinion...Self Essentials really knows how to make a great candle. The scent is perfect and the price is just right. I love the Chocolate Kisses scent and it really infused my whole kitchen when I lit it. I can think of a number of people who would love to receive this candle as a gift...including me!! 

Self Essentials has offered to give a $20 gift certificate to one of my readers...good towards any product on their site! This giveaway will also be a Rafflecopter so I hope you all will enter! Thank you to Self Essentials for the generous giveaway. :)
