 Intro to My Review of 2 Christmas Candles from Aroma Naturals...
For my second Christmas review, I've decided to talk about the coolest candles I found from a company called Aroma Naturals. Aroma Naturals is my all-time favorite aromatherapy soy candle brand. Their candles are basically as natural as you can get except for a little bit of wax colorant they use here and there. I'm such a sucker for an all natural candle...I feel like it's much healthier for me and my family.
I haven't written on Aroma Naturals until now, so I'm very excited to introduce you to them. If you've never tried an aromatherapy candle before or have in the past and weren't happy with them, I'm here to convince you to TRY THE CANDLES you're about to become aquainted with in this review. If the scents sound interesting to you, I guarantee you won't be disappointed.
A few weekends ago, I was food shopping in my local Wholefoods store with my mom. When I was done piling my groceries in the cart, I had to swing by their selection of candles to see what they had for this exciting time of year. I was busy sniffing away when my enthused mother stuck a votive under my nose and said..."Smell this...it's called Wish...It's Peppermint and Vanilla!" It was SO strong for a votive. I instantly fell in love and asked, "WOW...what brand is that?" My mom uttered...some company called Aroma Naturals. I was thrilled to hear it was from my trusty old aromatherapy friend. I made a b-line for their display.
I was so excited to find this scent Wish because I was looking for the "best of the best" of Christmas scents to review and for my nose, this one fit the bill. I wanted to get something bigger than a votive to review though because I loved the scent so much. The Aroma Naturals holiday display had votives, pillars and candle tins. I don't normally like to burn pillars and since candle tins are one of my favorite types of candles, I grabbed one. The tin was only 4 ounces...pretty small, but I didn't have tons of money to throw around so I thought I'd see how this little tin would perform.
After I threw the Wish candle in my cart, I looked to see what the other 2 holiday scents were on the Aroma Naturals display. One was called Evergreen and the other was called Peace. I'm not much of a pine scent fan, so I picked up a Peace tin to see what the ingredients were. The label said Orange, Clove and Cinnamon. It smelled pretty good. I didn't like it as much as Wish, but I knew it would make a nice addition to our list of diverse seasonal scents up for review, so I bought it.

You can see my candles in the picture to the left. I think my 4 oz. tins have the most festive looking Christmas labels on the lids...I just love them. The label on my Wish candle (on the right) is red with white stripes...I'm sure it represents candy canes since that favorite holiday treat tastes like peppermint. The label on my Peace candle tin (to the left) is more of a pinkish shade of red with white snowflakes. Besides the sniff test in the store, I really wanted to review these candles because they looked so Christmasy! Speaking of Christmas, the wax color of Wish is pure white, just like snow and the wax color of Peace is bright ruby red.
e affect on the mind. I think it's also just from the combination of peppermint with vanilla...it's awesome!
