Aroma Candles

Today Mrs LG has been out for a lovely couple of walks with the Lil'Guys, it's a beautiful sunny afternoon (now that the fog has gone) after the howling wind and rain of the past couple of days.  Everything smells fragrantly fresh and Spring is just around the corner, the sunshine and gorgeous countryside lift the spirits and often provide inspiration.

Laura from Aroma Candles is another creative who is inspired by such things, here she answers a few questions.....




What do you do and how did you start your business?

I make true aromatherapy soy candles, using the highest amount of essential oils possible.

I'm actually a massage therapist! While performing aromatherapy sessions for my clients, I was using store bought aromatherapy candles. All of the candles I found were really expensive and not fragrant at all. So I figured, why not make my own? My clients, friends and family all loved them so much and kept insisting I start my own line.... So I did!

                

What are your favourite items?

Hmmm... My favorite item? It varies with my moods and needs. My body and mind really know what I need, so if I'm needing a certain therapy at that particular moment, I'm more attracted to that scent.

What inspires you?

I'm inspired by many things. Sometimes a client will mention an issue they are having, and I'll wonder "how can I help them when they leave my table?". Other times the inspiration comes from Mother Nature. I love being outside in my garden or in the forest preserve by my home. 

I'll catch scents from those places and have to find an essential oil that matches that smell.

Any news/plans for the business that you'd like to tell people about?

My goal is to continue making affordable aromatherapy candles. I've recently introduced a line of herbal teas that people are really enjoying.  Eventually I plan on adding essential oil all natural soaps to my line.  Who knows after that?!?!
