As we all know, candles have been used for centuries to set the mood and transform a space into something special. However, not all candles are created equal and for the best possible experience, it is best to opt for pure, clean-burning soy wax candles. Not only are they better for the environment but they also last much longer than other types - up to 50% longer, in fact!

When it comes to creating a relaxing environment, scent is key. Aromatic candles can help to uplift the atmosphere and create an ambiance that is peaceful, calming and inviting. Soy wax candles come in a variety of scents that can help to set the tone for your home retreat - choose fragrances like lavender or chamomile to inspire relaxation or opt for something more uplifting like orange blossom or geranium to add an air of excitement to your space.

Once you’ve chosen your candles and got them lit, you need to ensure that you have everything else you need for your retreat. To really get into the spa experience, why not add some blankets and cushions around the space so you can curl up and relax? Take some time out with a good book, the book club candle, enjoy some soothing music or pick up some magazines and catch up on the latest news – whatever takes your fancy!

Soy wax candles are an excellent way to create a relaxing atmosphere and if you’re looking for something extra special, why not go for scented tealights? Tealights offer all the same benefits as larger candles but they can also be dispersed around different areas of your home so they offer more flexibility when it comes to setting the scene. Arrange them around a hot tub or spa pool – what better way is there to relax with friends?

Once your home retreat is set up, it’s time to switch off from the outside world and truly relish in this special time away from it all. Give yourself permission to take this time out – nothing else matters now but relaxation! Allow yourself an hour or two of uninterrupted

‘me-time’ so that you can enjoy every second without distractions. Put away your phone, turn off the TV and be present in this moment – here and now.

Soy wax candles are an easy way to create a relaxing home retreat without breaking the bank. They come in a variety of sizes and scents so you can tailor them to suit your own personal needs. And with their clean burning nature, you can rest assured that their impact on our environment is minimal – it’s win-win! So why not take some time out today – let yourself have a few hours of ‘me-time’ with some beautiful scented soy wax candles and re-charge those batteries!
