My favorite candle store Illuminations closed COMPLETELY a few months ago, no more in-store or online. They are fully CLOSED as a company
I was really disappointed when I found out because I absolutely love their Candles that are soy and essential oil based. But I am learning to cope because I still have a few extras stashed that I bought when they had a sale so I have a few to get me through but NOT forever!

So now I am on the new search for a good soy candle.

Why soy? Well here are a few facts:

• Soy is a renewable resource (made from soy beans not chemicals), whereas petroleum based Candles are not
• They burn longer and slower
• Less toxic than paraffin Candles
• burns “clean” and does not produce black soot or smoke

I’m not really interested in the Yankee Candle company, none of their scents really appeal to me and I’m pretty sure they do not carry a soy in any of their Candles. Their Autumn/fall scents are nice, but I dont feel like burning those type of scent in the middle of April ya dig?

So I am asking YOU! Help me find a good soy candle. Any recommendations? What is your favorite candle and scent? It is very hard buying Candles online because we dont have smell-a-vision so a candle listed as vanilla or pomegranate might smell totally different by the time it get to your house and is not as pleasant as you thought.

So I’m counting on you to help me find the perfect soy candle!
