Burn Better with Salt Spring Island Candles

May 27, 2015

I have always been a huge fan of candles. Something about the way the flame flickers and the scent that fills the room makes me want to light them up year round. I usually buy my candles from Bath and Body Works but recently I got the chance to try out candles from a local brand- Salt Spring Island Candle Company

Their natural and high quality candles have a vintage look and unique scents! I picked “Yoga” and “Hearth” to try out.

Ingredients: I love that the wax is made from Soy which is a renewable energy (eco-friendly). The soy wax is actually GMO free which is even better. The scents are created using essential oils and natural fragrance oils.

Pricing: Quite comparable to Bath and Body Works and other premium candles.
4oz – $8.50
8oz- $15.00
8oz milk bottle- $20.00

Scents: There are currently 8 scents with fun names like Fleur, Moustache, Pomander in their tin cans. There are additionally 4 scents based on warm drinks that are sold in milk bottles.

I can definitely notice that the scent is more natural and less up in your nose. My mom usually hates it when I burn the Bath & Body Works candles but she quite enjoyed when I burned the SSI candles.


*In this photo the wax didn’t burn to the edge because my dad blew out the candle too early the previous time. It has since corrected itself and it burns fully to the edge.*

Hearth smells like an indoor campfire in the best way. It reminds me of old rich people sitting around and drinking whisky by the fireplace. It smells so good!

Yoga was interesting smelling. Maybe it’s because I’ve never gone to a legit Yoga studio before, but I didn’t imagine it would smell like this! I think this would be a great scent for meditation. It’s very earthy and reminds me of temples. (Not that I ever go to one)

*I posted an instagram video about the burn of this being too strong and black smoke coming out. I trimmed the wick and it solved the problem! The owner also explained that the wick is made of cotton and small paper filaments and the smoke is not soot or lead!*

If you are looking to try out new scents or wanting to support local business, I’d definitely recommend checking out what’s for sale at Salt Spring Island Candles. You can also find them on Facebook!

Where do you buy your candles from? What’s your favorite type of scent?

We made it on the kyo-train garaku by Hankyu and I We made it on the kyo-train garaku by Hankyu and I'd highly recommend boarding this train if you're transiting between Osaka and Kyoto. ❀️‍πŸ”₯🌸
No reservations are required and the fare is just the basic fare (approximately $4!) πŸš…
Check online for the most updated timetable but the most current is
9:32, 11:32, 13:32, and 15:32 leaving Osaka for Kyoto!
We showed up 30 minutes before boarding and was the first ones for car 5. Car 3 seems to be the most popular for the cherry blossoms!
Forget your eyeshadow palettes! This little single Forget your eyeshadow palettes! This little single eyeshadow from merit is all I need! πŸ’š
I've been using this a lot on my vacation and it stays on amazingly well all day even with the humidity.
I went for a more unique shade but all the basic browns and neutrals are available too!
.
Would you swap your current eyeshadow for this?

1. BUYING TICKETS 🎟 - Tickets are about $30 CAD each and you can purchase online directly. I'd recommend buying one month in advance to secure the 9am time slot!

2. WEAR A DRESS, if you want πŸ‘—- there's warning that the mirrors will reflect and your undergarments would show 🀭 but unless someone's standing right on top of you, it won't be visible. I wore shorts to avoid this but I think a skirt or dress would have been totally fine.

3. GO EARLY πŸ˜Άβ€πŸŒ«οΈ - I know, oldest tip in the book but it took us almost an hour to get there from shinjuku. We arrived at 850am for 9am entry and there was already a huge line. We got in around 930am.

4. READ THE PLAQUES πŸ“œ - either before or after the exhibits, there are plaques that explain the exhibit. Although teamlab is amazing for photos, it adds a layer of depth if you understand what the exhibit is trying to convey. A lot of the interactive artwork shows the connection of humans and the environment we live in. It's super interesting!!
