HeavenScent Soy Candles : Eco Friendly Love

Did you know burning Soy candles are more Eco friendly and tend to last much longer than regular wax candles? HeavenScent Soy Candles is a USA based manufacturer of soy candles, started by Lynne Trace in 2005 out of New Bloomfield, PA. I should mention the company has more than just candles.

Lynne explains the Benefits of Soy Candles:

Soy candles are made from all natural renewable ingredients. By purchasing soy candles you are helping American farmers. Once the soy beans are harvested they are pressed into wax flakes. HeavenScent Soy Candles uses these flakes along with natural dyes and scented oils to create a premium candle. These candles have a wide variety of benefits over traditional candles.

• Made from an all natural renewable resource
• Burns cleaner than traditional candles (No black soot around the top of the jar)
• Supports US farmers
• Lasts 50‰ longer than traditional candles
• Soy Candles are made with non-toxic materials

The benefits of soy candles extend beyond the renewable source and farm benefits. When burned, soy candles last longer because they burn cooler than traditional paraffin wax candles. Additionally, soy candles are less likely to trigger allergies because they burn cleanly and do not produce as much soot and smoke. You can clearly see the difference when one of our soy candles is burned along side a leading competitor’s paraffin candle. Our candles do not produce the black ring of soot that forms at the top of many popular candle

Colleen Attara Studio

Shop Name: Colleen Attara Studio

Location: Bucks County, PA

Name: Colleen Attara

Shop Link: http://www.colleenattarastudio.etsy.com/

Colleen describes herself as an "all or nothing kind of artist." Her art is perfectly imperfect. Color themes aren't chosen for their "ability to match", but instead chosen for bold and cheerful statements. Colleen uses reclaimed and discarded goods in her work. She has working relationships with local sign shops and plastic fabrication companies that allow her to do this. Using scrap plastics and pieces of old signs are elements that allow her work to become three dimensional! An old picture frame with dents and paint drips magically transforms into something new, left with the evidence of it's former life. Her colorful eco-friendly art is a must see and makes wall decor!

Colleen says, "When I am getting ready for a show, I have a few weeks where I do nothing but create. There is paint on my face and even on the bottom of my feet. Sleep and food become less important. Coffee, music and candles become more important. Pressure spurs me and makes me even more creative. By the time this frenzy is over, I will go weeks without picking up a paintbrush. I’m lucky to have a husband and children who tolerate the ebb and flow of my creativity."
