Soy Wax Sundae Candles

With the unseasonably warm temperatures, I’m like most people and just loving it!!  It feels soooooo sumer like to me that I just had to make something new to celebrate it.  I’ve been playing with my Isight camera and Imovie and I did a video to show you my Soy Wax Sundae Candles that I made this last week or so.  Don’t laugh, well ok, go ahead and laugh, I know I look dopey on video and I stammer and stutter, but hopefully I got my message across.  Here’s the video

Pineapple Coconut Sundaes made on Monday

Well, last week I made some pineapple coconut soap in honour of our upcoming March Break.  Well, since they’ve been so popular I thought I’d make some Pineapple Coconut Sundae Candles.  This time I remembered to take my camera home so I could record the process.  Please, have a look at the video and try not to laugh too hard, remember it is my first time :)  Feel free to let me know what you think.  What should I do different next time, what’s good, what’s bad, you know, a little constructive criticism.  Would you like to see more videos like this?

Anyway, here’s the video.

Oh, and in the video, you will notice that there are 3 different sizes of sundae cups they seem to be Small, Medium and Large.  Well, keep this in mind the next time you go out and order a Large Sundae for dessert, they all hold the same amount!  If you noticed in the video I poured in 3 ounces of wax in the smallest cup, well 3 ounces is all that would fit into the other two cups as well.  It’s the size of the cup that is larger not the yummy goodness that’s inside it.  So my Sundaes will all be priced the same, but you get to choose which size of cup you’d like :)

With the coconut layer on top, that I guess looks more like whipped topping than ice cream, these are 6 oz candles.  To purchase one, click here —> Parson House Candles .

Thanks for watching :)

What’s in a Name?

Well, that’s where I need your help.  As some of you may already know I make my own line of candles and soaps for the store called Parson House Soap & Candle Co.  At least once a day a customer will come in and tell me how much they love the smell of my shop.  They ask what it is and which candle to buy with that fragrance.  Well, the fragrance is a combination of all the soaps & candles I make and they just blend together on their own.  Even though the individual fragrances are lovely on their own, they don’t have that distinctive scent that is “the smell of Sherry’s on Main”

Well, after much experimentation and fragrance blending, I give you…. ta da!!

the scent of my store

Ok, this is the part where I need your help.  As you will notice in the picture there are no labels on these candles, well that’s because I need a name for this fragrance.  It is my own proprietary blend of eleven, yes I said eleven, different fragrances and oils.  

Here are a couple of names I’ve come up with:

Atmosphere,

Mystique,

Eleven (I think I kinda like this one)

Please folks, help me come up with a name for this fragrance.  Please tell me if you like any of these names or what moniker you would give it.

 I coloured the candles a soft yellow because that is the colour of my store walls.  What do you think, should I stick with the soft yellow colour?

Thanks bunches folks, I can’t wait to read what you have to say :)
