Cozy Winter Evenings on The Coast

Tumbler & Votives for holiday dining To enjoy completely an idyllic winter evening, we need to be relaxed and totally present, which is often just unattainable dream for most of us, while rushing from one task to another.

So, instead of blaming this wonderful period of the year for our bad mood, it is better for us to slow down a little bit and capture the infinite beauty of nature. Before moving on to the next, it is important to use every free moment to relax. To me, scented candles are inevitable ingredients for the perfect home atmosphere during cold winter days and long chilly nights. To warm me up, I enjoy the woodsy scents of our luxury Candles.
With Laguna Candles you do not only get a candle with the most exclusive ingredient, but also a intense fragrance that equals the one made by two standard-sized candles which burn at the same time.
Laguna Candles complex fragrances of our luxury candles are so powerful that I highly recommend you to take the favorite ones on a trip with you, just like I always do in order to complement the cozy atmosphere in the winter house.

2. Natural Scented Candles with clean burning soy wax and all-natural, lead-free wicks should be a perfect choice.

The Aroma Of Space

I started my company Laguna Candles for two reasons. My love for candles and scents and the  desire for a clean burning scented candle and a another important reason was I wanted my three daughters to have a choice to choose between working for someone or for themselves. For many years I also  sold Luxury Real Estate In the Coastal communities of OC.  I previewed some of the most beautiful homes in the US.  What surprised me the most, was how much people invested in the interior of their home, and yet what I  found was as beautiful as these homes  were,  so often the homes were void of scent. Typically when I walk into any home the first thing I notice is the smell.  Scent has always been a large part of who I am. From my days as a little girl mesmerized by the scent of Chanel No. 5 that my Grandmother (Lola) loved,  to walking in  one of my favorite luxury Hotels and smelling beautiful scents all through out.

Many years ago my husband Clarence’s  tennis buddy Herman told him one day, what he loved about our home was that it always smelled wonderful. That was one of the nicest complements that I have heard to this day. I recently read an article that I would like to share from Hotels Mag’s newsletter.  It was written by Sherri  Sheck-Merril, and she was gracious enough to allow me to share with  my readers.  Please enjoy.

The beauty of the Lemon

I am amazed at the the versatility of the lemon. In reading one of my favorite Journals I thought I would share some of the amazing uses. Just imagine, a product that can be used as medicine, cleaning agent, disinfectant, and a beauty treatment.
Lemons are a source of citric acid which is used as a natural preservative and to give a sour taste to food or drink. The lemons pith and peel yield pectin, which is used in the food industry as a thickener, emulsifier, and gelling agent. Additionally there is an oil extracted from the peel that can be used in food, pharmaceutical, and cosmetic industries. The list can go on and on.

One of my favorite things about the lemon is the scent.  Laguna Candles signature scent is ” Laguna Paradise.” It is our number one selling  soy blend scented candle.  It is comprised of  lemon, citrus lime and verbena.
People often overlook the importance of fragrances for the fullness of experience. That mistake can be fixed by letting the scent of Laguna Paradise  fulfill your personal space.  Laguna  Candles offers a wide variety of memorable aromas to tell the story about the infinite beauty of our planet. Made of domestically grown sustainable soybeans, Laguna  Candles ensures the cleanest possible burning, while providing room-filling, yet not overpowering flavor.

Laguna Candles, earth friendly all natural soy candle’s Founder Sharie Hendricks collaborated with local Laguna Beach Master Glass Blower, John Barber, who studied the techniques of the European Masters in Sweizel, Germany. Together, they have created one-of-a-kind candle vessels from the furnaces of John Barber’s Laguna Beach Studio.

The heirloom quality vessels feature Laguna Candles’ eco-friendly blend of all-natural waxes and are scented with popular fragrances from the Laguna Candles Coastal Collection, such as Laguna Paradise, Tide Pool, Coconut Paradise, Salinas in Bloom and Urban Citrus. “Every piece is unique unto itself, and bears the mark of John Barber as testimony of their heirloom quality,” says Laguna Candles Founder, Sharie Hendricks. The vessels come in 8 carefully crafted color palettes and are priced at $65 for a 20oz. vessel and $90 for a 40oz. vessel.

“Everyone at Laguna Candles is honored that John has chosen to work with our company,” beams Hendricks. “This partnership exemplifies our commitment to support the work of local artisans by creating unique and memorable heirloom quality keepsakes that allow both locals and visitors from around the world to take a little piece of Laguna home with them,” she shares. Owners of these elegant vessels will be captivated by their beauty as a careful reminder to pause from the hectic pace of daily life. Hendricks further commits to a sustainable experience as careful stewards of the environment, by offering to refill the vessels with a Laguna Candles fragrance once the candles have been enjoyed. This unique refill service is available for a nominal fee.
