Every once in a while big businesses come up with a great idea.  For example, American Express created Small Business Saturday to help promote local small businesses. Why? To help us recognize the importance of small businesses to our everyday lives. Small businesses contribute not only to our communities, but to our country’s economy. On November 30th we will be celebrating along with small businesses across the country. This year, we are offering: 15% Off Everything in the Store! That’s right, when you visit one of our stores located in Bedford Hills, White Plains and Stamford, CT you’ll get 15% off. When you come in you’ll be helping us to continue to support the communities that we love with great products and local contributions. Five Ways Small Business Impacts the Community While doing research for this article, I learned a few interesting facts that really drive home why small community businesses are so important to us all. Here are a few of the reasons that really struck home: Did you know that at least $68 of every $100 spent at a local independent store is reinvested into the community? Now compare that to the $43 that is reinvested by the larger, big box stores. The community gets a much bigger ROI from local merchants than those billion-dollar companies! Local owners care about the community that they do business in and, in most cases, live inside. When it comes to important community issues, they have a vested interest that the big retailers just can’t match. Local businesses use local goods and services such as banks, farms, etc. Working together with other neighborhood businesses create economic and social relationships for everyone, including schools, community leaders and residents. Since small businesses often offer locally sourced products, they reduce the carbon footprint since the need for transportation is reduced. Independent small business owners care about the people in their neighborhood. They get to know their customers’ names, tastes and needs which creates a vastly superior shopping experience for you. This holiday season is the perfect time to spread cheer and offer good tidings to your local small businesses. It just feels good to support the businesses that make up your community. Come join us for this terrific 15% off sale while finishing up your holiday shopping list. We’ll keep the light on for you.

It is that time of year again when the weather turns cold and nature seems to rest. As the leaves fall and the snow blankets the earth, it is natural to spend more time in your home where it is warm. This holiday season, make your time indoors warm and unforgettable through our decorating ideas. Wreaths It is not a surprise that wreaths have adorned homes for centuries as a means to add delight to any room. They can be an eye-catching display on your front door, greeting your guests with colors through fall leaves or pine cones. Whether you made or bought them, wreaths are a wonderful way to welcome your friends and family to your home. Wreaths do not only have to be on front doors, you can also use them inside against windows or to surround candles in a centerpiece. Centerpieces You can make a living space feel so much more festive with a centerpiece on your console table or in your kitchen. These centerpieces may consist of table runners or table toppers, vases filled with cranberries and orange slices, or candles that smell of apple and oak. Custom Candle Co. recently came out with new scents for this season. You can buy them all in a bundle at a discounted rate. If you enjoy creating your centerpieces, here is a collection of pictures to look at for inspiration.  Pillows, Blankets and more This year, consider decorating with items outside of the seasonal aisle at decor stores such as wreaths and Christmas trees. Instead, buy several burnt orange or brown pillows for your living room’s love seat to give the room a pop of fall color. Another idea, although it may seem simple, is to add a fuzzy throw you can cuddle up with while drinking a steaming cup of cocoa. Elle Decor has some amazing ideas on how to decorate your home this season that are small and elegant. Going Green There are limitless possibilities to decorating your home when you include natural objects. From a Christmas Tree to pine cones on the forest floor, there are so many options. You do not need a very creative mind to create your own decorations. For example, you can get a clear glass vase, fill it with cinnamon sticks, kumquats, cranberries and pine cones. It’s as simple as that and you have a decoration that will look great in the fall and winter. Do not forget one of the most stunning decorations nature has to offer, evergreen pine bowes. Snip some off a nearby tree and use them to surround one of Custom Candles’ fall or winter candles. Another way to beautify your home is through decorating your front porch. Instantly give a feel of fall with a bale of straw on your porch or a dried bunch of corn stocks. Include pumpkins of various sizes to complement your other fall decorations. Do not let the possibilities with pumpkins stop there, you can also use them inside as pieces to accent your home.  Candles It is during fall and winter, that candles are most often included in decorating. It is no wonder that candles have become a traditional decoration during this time of year. They give a certain warm and cozy feeling to any room with their bright flames and festive scents. To continue with the tradition, add a candle to your home through Custom Candles Co. Like their name, this company creates unique scents and styles that will match any festive decorations. Their Frosted White Square candle tied with a red bow is an elegant addition to any home. It comes in a variety of scents like pine, pumpkin ginger, cinnamon and apple. If you would like a more rustic feel, you cannot go wrong with the Travel Tin Candle that smells like banana nut bread. For those of you who have children running around or will during the holidays, sometimes it is too risky to have an open flame like a candle in your home. If that is the case, we’ve got you covered. Take a look at Custom Candle Co’s diffusers like their cedar leaf and lavender scent combined with eucalyptus. Because eucalyptus is a natural odor eliminator, you can place these diffusers in bathrooms to always keep your home smelling wonderful.  Remember that Custom Candle Co has got you covered when it comes to scents this fall with their new line of candles and amazing scents exclusively for diffusers. Visit their website today, so you can make this holiday season unforgettable for you and your family.

It is time to say goodbye to 2019 and hello to 2020 – and with the new year comes new resolutions. Most people like to make their new year’s resolutions about their eating or spending habits, but what about home decorating resolutions? You want your home to be an enjoyable and relaxing space, so what could be better than having decorating resolutions for your home in 2020? Here are 12 decorating tips you can incorporate into you home to give it a fresh, updated style to go with the new year! Go Green Give new life to a room simply by adding plants! If you have a large empty space in a room, add a floor plant instead of filling it up with more furniture. You can also accent a console table, shelf or desk with a small potted plant like a succulent, cacti or devil’s ivy. Plants can give a fresh new look and feel to a room. And they improve the air quality in your home! There are so many varieties of plants that you have endless options of textures, sizes and even scents for the new year. Declutter Your Home Clutter can make a room look uninviting and can also cause a lot of unwanted stress. Get rid of that stress by decluttering your home. Take some time out of the new year to go through your kitchen, bathrooms, living room and bedrooms and get organized. Get rid of the things you do not use or need. And look into storage bins or baskets to help you keep things out of sight and organized. A new year deserves a new, clean look. Spice Up Your Dining Room Decorating doesn’t always have to be complex. In fact, it can be quite simple! You can add a simple decoration to spice up your dining room – candles. You can use candles to make a simple but elegant table centerpiece. Or try using unique, up-cycled liquor candles to spice up a bar cart and console table in your dining room. They don’t just look great – they’re great conversation starters, too. Rearrange Furniture It’s a new year, and you may be ready for a whole new look. But that doesn’t mean you have to go out and buy new furniture. Look at what you have in the room and rearrange your sofas, chairs, tables and shelves. Try a different layout for a whole new look without having to spend a fortune! Make It Personal Go for a personal look this year with artwork made by you or your family. Display artwork on the wall or shelves. Or if you aren’t exactly the artistic type, you can also opt for personal photos of family, pets or scenic pictures taken by you. Art pieces and photos make great focal points. You can even get customized candles with personal quotes or pictures to display on tables. Consider making a gallery wall or decorating shelving space in your home. Make it personal for a nice, homey feel. Transform Your Bathroom Your bathroom doesn’t have to be drab. You can transform it into your own relaxing haven. Add bath salts and scented candles or diffusers to your bathroom. Use soft colors like light blues, greens or grays for a more relaxing ambiance.  And give it a luxurious feel with a plush robe and slippers. Paint Your Walls Are you ready for something completely different? If you are ready for a big change, why not try a new paint color for your walls? Colors can bring about different moods to a room. And depending on the room you are painting, you will want something different. For example, you would want your bathroom and bedroom to have a calm and relaxing feel to it. Blue hues can be calming, while yellow brightens and increases energy. And white can make a room feel more spacious, while green can reduce anxiety. Be bold and try different colors for a whole new feel! Revamp With Bright Colors You don’t always have to change the paint on your walls to make a statement. If you aren’t ready for a big change, you can give pops of color to a room by switching out the pillows on your sofa. Choose new pillows with bright colors to compliment what you already have in the room. Use Your Fireplace Fireplaces are a beautiful focal point in a room, but more often than not, they go unused. This year, decorate and use your fireplace without having to deal with all the soot and ash from burning wood. You can still make the fireplace a focal point by decorating it with liquor candles. Put a variety of different sizes on the mantle, large candles in the fireplace or on either side of the fireplace. Make the room feel warm and welcoming without the mess. Use Different Textures Different textures can bring warmth to a room. Use different textures for your throws, pillows and rugs to prevent rooms from feeling lifeless and cold. Try a knitted pillow or a fluffy throw for some variety. Textures add dimension to a room which makes a room more interesting. Decorate Forgotten Spaces When decorating, people don’t often have the garage, basement, entryway or mudrooms on the top of their list. This year, revive these spaces to make sure every corner of your home gets a little love. Something as simple as new storage bins, a new rug or fresh coat of paint can give that forgotten space in your home a new facelift. Accent Wall Accent walls break up a pattern within a room. Walls are typically painted a single, flat color and can be rather boring. However, you can make a room much more interesting by having an accent wall. If you are ready for more excitement in your room, try an accent wall. You can paint one wall a different color or opt for wallpaper with a pattern. Make this new year special with these 12 decorating resolutions for your home. There are plenty of simple or big changes you can do to revamp each room in your house. Get ready for a whole new look this year!

Get ready to pucker up! February is on its way – and that means Valentine’s Day is just around the corner. Although showing how much you love someone can be done on any given day, Valentine’s Day has become the one day that everyone tries to make extra special. Many people celebrate Valentine’s Day for good reason. It may be to show a family member how much you love or appreciate them. Or it may be to show how much you enjoy someone’s friendship. But it can also be celebrated in order to help reignite a spark in a relationship. Here are five Valentine’s Day ideas that can help rekindle romance in a relationship.  Show Your Appreciation Show your loved one that you appreciate them. Often times, couples who have been in a long relationship forget to show appreciation because it can be easy getting caught up in the bustle of everyday life. Learning how to show appreciation can help strengthen a relationship! Here are some small gestures you can do for your partner to show them your appreciation. Say thank you. These simple words can make a big difference! Say them often and mean what you say. Write a note. Write out a note or a letter and leave it on the table, in their work bag or by the bed. Give a gift. A small box of chocolates, flowers or nice scented candles like Love Spell, Fresh Cut Flowers or Amber Romance can make someone feel extra special. Add a Dash of Romance to Hold On to Intimacy Being intimate doesn’t always have to mean jumping between the sheets. Simple things like holding hands, embracing one another for a longer period of time or kissing can do the trick in developing intimacy. Physical affection with your partner makes you both feel more connected. It helps to promote and strengthen feelings of trust, love and devotion. Go On a Date When was the last time you went out on a date? After being together for a long time, the amount of dates a couple goes on tends to dwindle. But dating is often times what helped bring couples together to begin with. Think about the things you used to do with your partner when you were courting one another and try to continue that. Don’t have time to go out? That’s okay! Cook a meal at home, light some Valentine’s Day scented candles and have a romantic night in. Have a Conversation Take the time to sit down and really talk. Talk about things that are on your mind; how you feel. Take the time to show interest in one another and discover something new. When you talk to each other and have deep, meaningful conversations, you are building and strengthening your bond. Romance Can Be Adventurous Things can become predictable and routine after being with someone for a while. You think you know everything there is to know about your partner. However, when you put yourself out there and do something different, you get to see one another in a different light. And doing something adventurous or different like going to an amusement park or even going bungee jumping can shake things up in your relationship. When it comes to romance and relationships, things can get tricky. Keep the spark alive in your relationship by really putting in the time and effort to make things work. Whether it be doing something adventurous, leaning in for a kiss, or setting up a romantic night in with dinner and candles, make it count. And if you do opt for a candle-lit  dinner or a gift to show your appreciation, let Custom Candle Co. be the one to help you in rekindling the romance in your relationship!

The holidays are over and the trees have come down. There seems to be a void of activity and festivity. It can almost get you down if you aren’t careful. But just because the season’s over for another year doesn’t mean you can’t hold on to a part of it. You can still enjoy the clean, fresh scent of pine in your home. Our pine candles and diffusers are the perfect pick-me-up for the post-holiday doldrums. Pine Candles Bring the Outdoors Inside Winter can be beautiful, but the weather is often restrictive. Cold temperatures, rain, gray skies and piercing winds keep us cooped up indoors for days on end. Burning a pine candle when it’s too harsh to venture outside can help you keep that connection with nature. It’s a great way to feel like you’ve had a romp in the woods without risking frostbitten fingers. Keep Things Fresh While pine is a staple holiday scent, it is not exclusively reserved for the holidays. Pine-scented cleansers and air fresheners testify to that fact. There’s just something about the scent that feels clean and refreshing. Even if your home is a little disheveled after the parties and decorations, the smell of pine can make it seem more organized. Calming and Attractive All kinds of candles look nice, whether they are burning or just sitting as a part of your decor. Our pine candles are poured in beautiful glass jars in a gorgeous green wax. Experts agree that green is a soothing, calming color. It helps induce a sense of harmony with nature and reduces stress. The color combined with the scent may be just what you need to decompress after a long day. Pine Candles Can Go Anywhere in Your Home Because they have such a natural, neutral scent, you can place our candles in every room of your home. They are particularly great choices for bedrooms, bathrooms and living rooms. Even your laundry room can feel like a special place with the simple addition of a pine candle. As you can see, you don’t have to pack away your favorite scent just because the holidays are over. Enjoy the smell of pine all year long by adding several candles around your home. You can also try out our diffusers for months of fresh scent at a time. Whichever product you choose, you can’t go wrong.

When candles and romance are mentioned, many people picture a candle-lit dinner for two. Candles are often associated with romance because they can create special moods and spark romantic feelings, but that has not always been the case. Candles were not really connected to love and romance until the 21st century. In fact, a closer look at the history of candles would show that they weren’t very glamorous at all when they were first used! How candles are viewed and used have come a long way since their early origins. Early Candles and Romance So, where did candles get their start? Going back to around 3,000 B.C., ancient Romans are credited with developing the first wicked candles made of rolled papyrus and animal fat. Other early civilizations in China and Japan are said to have also made wicked candles made of other natural substances. Candles back in the day were used as light sources to light up homes. They were also used to help light the way for travelers and were used in religious ceremonies. As for early romance, love and romance was popular around 1,570 to 1069 B.C. as a theme for stories and poetry. And although many relationships were arranged, evidence of romantic relationships can be found in different areas. For example, images of couples showing their love through hand gestures or expressions in Egyptian art and stores of love in ancient Chinese stories exist. But as for candles lighting up the room to set the mood for a romantic date? Not yet! Candle Odor or Chivalry, Anyone? Back in the day, candles were mostly made from animal fat, but, as you can probably imagine, they did not have a very pleasant odor! When the Middle Ages came along, a new candle was introduced in Europe – beeswax candles. They burned pure without producing smoke and had a pleasant smell. However, the candles were expensive and were mostly used by the wealthy or for special church ceremonies. The Middle Ages introduced beeswax candles, but it had nothing to do with romance. Romance at the time was found in stories of chivalry. Courtly love, including flirting, chivalry and dancing, was also present at the time. And the act of giving and receiving love tokens such as rings, brooches and knightly favors occurred during the Middle Ages. Going back to candles, it was later that colonial women in America made a big discovery. They found that they could make wax from certain berries that produced a sweet-smelling aroma when burned. Producing that wax was very difficult, so its popularity did not last long. However, its discovery was one step closer to the fragrant candles we have today. New Candles, New Courtship In the late 18th century, another change in candles occurred due to the big whaling industry at the time. Spermaceti, a wax created from sperm whale oil, was more readily available for candle-making use. It was similar to beeswax in that it did not have an odor and burned clean. It was also harder and believed to be the first standard candles. And Romance in the 18th century changed as well. Society began to move away from the practice of arranged marriages and started to encourage young people to choose their partners for themselves. This resulted in an evolution in courtship. What did courtship look like in the 18th century? A popular Valentine back then was a homemade love letter in the form of a puzzle; a folded paper that revealed feelings as each section was unfolded – swoon! Then came the 19th century, when the development of stearin and paraffin waxes meant clean, hard and durable burning candles could be made. Machines that made candle production a lot easier also came about, making candles much more affordable for everyone. But at the time, love letters, not candles, remained widely popular. The Fall and Rise of Candles The chances of you reading this by candlelight are slim. That’s because candles are no longer the go-to for light sources! In 1870, the introduction of the light bulb resulted in the steady decline of candle use. There was no longer a real need for candles after electricity made its way into people’s homes. However, something happened in the first half of the 20th century. An increase of paraffin and stearic acid helped give candle popularity a boost. It was during the ‘80s and ‘90s that candles became popular again. People were finding new uses for them. More and more people were starting to give candles as gifts, use them to create certain ambiances and to decorate spaces. It was around this time that people were using them to create relaxing atmospheres in their homes and even romantic evenings with loved ones! Candles and Romance Today These days, candles are common gifts and decorative pieces. They are used for lighting up a room, religious ceremonies, relaxing and yes, romance. Candles have had a long history as being a source of light. But why exactly have candles become associated with romance? Just Relax. Candlelight is not as bright as your typical room lighting; and your body responds to it differently! Low lighting tells your body to relax. It is like replicating lighting at night when your body is ready to wind down for bed. Your body relaxes and it can also help reduce stress levels, making a romantic night in more comfortable and enjoyable. Get Intimate. Candlelight creates an intimate space. Since its light reaches a relatively small area, it helps create an environment where a couple can truly focus on one another. You are less likely to get distracted by your surroundings when basking in each other’s presence by candlelight. Feel the Warmth. Candles don’t give off much heat, but they still create a sense of warmth. The simple flames can induce feelings of warmth and emotional intimacy. Stimulate Your Senses. People are sensitive to certain smells. They can bring back memories, revitalize or calm our minds. And romantic aromatic candles like Amber Romance, Love Spell or Fresh Cut Roses from Custom Candle Co. can stimulate your senses in a sensual way. Use Your Bedroom Eyes. Reduced lighting can cause your pupils to dilate. When pupils dilate, it is often due to excitement or attraction, and many people find these bedroom eyes to be attractive; setting the mood for love. Let’s Light That Fire Around this time of year, many people think about love and romance. Romance and candles have changed a lot throughout history. And now that candles produce pleasant aromas and come in different shapes and sizes, it is easy to incorporate them into romantic settings because of their allure. They are perfect for creating the right mood for a lovely night in with someone special. Visit Custom Candle Co. to find the perfect candle to incorporate into your own love life today!

For the groomsmen and best man, a custom duffle bag, backpack or watch is sure to do the trick. Wedding Favors A small thank you is a great way to give a token of your appreciation to all those who supported you and your new partner on your special day.

According to Wikipedia, “Bursera graveolens, known in Spanish as palo santo (“holy stick”), is a wild tree native from the Yucatán Peninsula to Peru and Venezuela.” The wood from these trees can provide you with a wide variety of health and wellness benefits. The following are five reasons to use Palo Santo wood. 1- Meditating Palo Santo-Style If your goal is to purify the energy in a room and/or promote healing, burning the wood is a great way to start your meditation session. When preparing your area for meditation, many people find it helpful to burn the wood before your actual session. In this way, you’ll benefit from the pleasant aroma without compromising your breathing. Doing so beforehand will also ensure that you won’t be distracted by the sounds of the burning wood being consumed. The scent from the wood can help you concentrate, and provide you with the clarity that is required for meditation. 2- Relieving Stress Palo Santo wood is available in the form of essential oil that can be applied to your skin. Using it as an essential oil can help you relieve stress, anxiety, and sadness, as well as improving your mood. Much like sage, burning the wood is an excellent way to improve the energy in a room and create a peaceful environment. 3- Medicine The medicinal properties of Palo Santo wood is useful for treating several different ailments. Applying the oil on an affected area can help treat acne, wounds, sun damage and sprains. The oil has anti-inflammatory, antioxidant and antiseptic properties that are beneficial for your skin. 4- Palo Santo for Repelling Insects Palo Santo wood is a simple and effective way of repelling insects. You can burn the wood to cause nearby insects to fly away. You can also mix the oil with water to thin it out and apply it to your skin to keep insects away without using chemicals. 5- Boosting The Immune System You can even use the wood to make a tea that is great for boosting your immune system and aiding in the digestion process. This is a delicious tea that is useful for people that are sick, people with compromised immune systems or for people that are looking to be extra cautious during flu season.
