Every candle has a story, and SOSA's began with a flicker of inspiration one Christmas. Picture this: a cozy living room, twinkling lights, and a less-than-fragrant candle sputtering away. That's when I thought, "Why not create candles that truly capture the essence of Christmas?" And voilà, SOSA Candles was born!
A Day in Our Winter Workshop
At SOSA, every day feels like Christmas, especially during the festive season. Our workshop is a winter wonderland of wax, wicks, and whiffs of magic. We start our day with the scent of fresh pine and a team huddle, where we share our 'scent-sational' ideas. It's like Santa's workshop, but with more candles and less elves!What Makes SOSA Candles Ho-Ho-So Special?
We believe in candles that not only smell good but do good. Our unique selling points? Eco-friendly waxes, wicks that burn cleaner than Rudolph's nose, and fragrances that bring the Christmas spirit right into your living room. Plus, we're big on community – each candle sold brings a little more light to someone's life.Crafting Your Own Christmas Candle
Choosing the Right Ingredients
1. Waxes: We love soy wax for its clean burn and eco-friendliness. Beeswax is another great choice, especially for that subtle, sweet scent.
2. Wicks: Cotton or wooden wicks work wonders. Remember, the right wick size is crucial for an even burn.
3. Fragrances: Think cinnamon, cranberry, or pine. The more festive, the better!
The Making Magic
1. Melting the Wax: Gently melt your wax. Remember, patience is key – no rushing this step!
2. Adding Fragrance: Once melted, stir in your chosen fragrance oils. My go-to Christmas blend? Cinnamon, orange, and a hint of clove!
3. Wick Placement: Secure your wick in the center of your chosen container. A little glue or a wick sticker helps.
4. Pouring the Wax: Slow and steady wins the race. Pour your wax into the container, leaving a little room at the top.
5. Curing Time: The hardest part – waiting! Let your candle cure for at least 24 hours.
Candle Care and Safety Tips
1. First Burn: Let it burn until the wax pool reaches the edges.
2. Trim the Wick: Keep it to about 1/4 inch.
3. Safe Spot: Away from drafts, kids, and pets.
