I absolutely love candles and they are something I share a lot of on my blog. The latest candle to my collection is from Lily & Loaf, a brand who a Beauty, Health and Wellness brand who have the most amazing selection of products from candles and aromatherapy oils to skincare, hair care and accessories to name just a few categories.
I was kindly sent a selection of Essential Oils which I have to share in another post, but today I am sharing the Sea Salt & Oakmoss Soy Wax Candle, which is just stunning. Each one of the candles from the Lily & Loaf range is beautifully presented in a white box with silver detailing and inside, the candle is hand wrapped in Lily & Loaf branded tissue paper, so it is pretty much ready to gift as it comes.
One thing Lily & Loaf at proud of is that every candle is hand-poured for quality assurance and reduced waste and added to that they use Soy wax which gives your candle a much cleaner burn without toxins or carcinogens, it also means that your candle will burn at a much slower rate than those made with paraffin and for me, the scent is much stronger and the scent throw is much more potent.
As mentioned, I have the Sea Salt & Oakmoss Soy Wax Candle and it is described as being one which is reminiscent of a fresh, salty ocean breeze and it is all of that in one candle. Growing up beside the seaside leaves a very special mark on your memories and whenever I am feeling anxious of stressed, the one way for me to relax and unwind is being in or near to water, probably one of the reasons why I am usually found in the bath. This scent, even before the wick was alight, was really strong and oakmoss as a scent is one which is often referred to as being dry, earthy, green, and with bark-like qualities, almost as though you are wondering through a forest after a rainstorm has happened but when it is mixed with the sea salt it reminds me of the beach as the sea water batters the shoreline and as the tide comes in. Those are the times when I can just sit on the rocks and watch Mother Nature work her magic and turn soft calm waves into huge crashing ones which batter everything in its path.
This candle has a burn time of around 40 hours which is really impressive and it comes with a helpful guide to remind you on the importance of trimming your candle wick each and every time you light it, this helps to avoid that black soot effect forming in and around your candle.
Priced at just £15.74, I have loved using this candle and Lily & Loaf has the most amazing sounding Christmas Collection of Candles which includes combinations such as Cinnamon & Orange, Lavender & Geranium and Sandalwood & Amber and they are also priced at just £15.74 each.
