Wicked Wicks of The East…

Ha! I freaking LOVE beeswax. I use it in all kinds of ways. Right now, it is finally the time of year where the sun comes up later. As an early bird, I love getting up and starting my day in the quiet of the morning before dawn. I treasure these dark, quiet hours for journaling, brainstorming, snuggling with my kitties and starting my day at a slower pace. To make the time even more special, I have some chunks of fluorite with holes drilled in them for votive or tealight candles. I also have one that is made totally from clear quartz crystals, and a tealight nestles right in the center. Lighting the candles is part of my pre-dawn ritual.

Back to the beeswax… and being a freak about the toxic crap in mass produced candles… I make my own. The beeswax comes from a local friend of mine who is, among other things, a beekeeper. (The honey his bees produce is amazing too!!) So I know where the wax came from and how his hives are cared for naturally. These things are important to me. I do buy tealight wicks made for beeswax. Spoiler alert… not all wicks are the same.

Back again to the beeswax… so my tealights are just pure beeswax. No smelly stuff in them. I get the draw of wonderful smelling candles, but those are mostly chemical scents that are a no-go for me (and are terrible to breathe in, by the way). Essential oils can be used, but for anyone who has fabulous felines around, cats are super sensitive to them, so mine are unscented.

C’mon baby, light my fire! (The Doors were awesome!) These beeswax tealights are just the thing to get my morning juju going.

They are also great for evening juju if that is your groove.
