Our Commitment to Sustainability

When I started this candle business, I knew that being eco-friendly wasn’t just a nice-to-have—it had to be at the heart of everything I do. Sustainability isn’t just a buzzword for me; it’s a commitment to creating beautiful products that respect the planet. Here are some of the ways I’m working to keep my candles as green as possible.

1. Choosing Clean, Natural Ingredients
My candles are made with a beeswax-soy blend, a natural and renewable resource. This blend burns cleaner, produces less soot, and has a longer burn time than traditional paraffin candles. Plus, the soy is sourced from sustainable farms, and the beeswax is a byproduct of beekeeping, supporting the vital role bees play in our ecosystem.

2. Reusable and Recyclable Packaging
Every part of my packaging is designed with the planet in mind. From glass jars that can be repurposed to recyclable boxes, I encourage my customers to reuse or recycle their candle containers. I’m always looking for ways to reduce waste and minimize my environmental footprint.

3. Ethical Sourcing
I carefully source materials from suppliers who share my values. This includes using fragrance oils that are free from harmful chemicals and working with partners who prioritize ethical and sustainable practices.

4. Small-Batch Production
By making candles in small batches, I can ensure quality while reducing waste. It also means I’m only producing what’s needed, avoiding overproduction and unnecessary resource use.

5. Encouraging Sustainable Habits
I love sharing tips with my customers on how to reuse their jars or recycle leftover wax. Little changes, like repurposing a jar as a planter or organizing container, can make a big difference over time.

Sustainability is a journey, and I’m constantly looking for ways to improve. Every candle I make is a small step toward a brighter, greener future. Thank you for supporting my business and being part of this journey—together, we can make a difference!

With love,
Home with Hunny

Candle Safety: What Every Candle Lover Should Know

Candles bring so much warmth and joy to our lives, but it’s important to remember that they’re also an open flame. With just a little care, you can enjoy your candles safely and keep your home cozy and secure. Here are some essential candle safety tips that every candle lover should know. 1. Always Keep an Eye on Lit Candles Never leave a burning candle unattended. Whether you’re stepping out of the room or heading to bed, make sure to blow out your candles before you leave. A little mindfulness can prevent big accidents. 2. Trim the Wick Before lighting your candle, trim the wick to about 1/4 inch. A trimmed wick helps the candle burn evenly, reduces soot, and minimizes the risk of a large flame. It’s a simple step that makes a big difference. 3. Place Candles on a Stable Surface Always put your candles on a heat-resistant, flat surface. Avoid placing them near the edge of a table or on anything flammable, like paper or fabric. Stability is key to preventing spills or accidents. 4. Mi...

The Science of Scent: How Fragrances Impact Our Mood

 Have you ever walked into a room and felt instantly calm, energized, or even nostalgic? It might not be the décor or lighting—it could be the fragrance in the air. Scent has a powerful effect on our emotions and well-being, and it’s something we often overlook. As a candle maker, I’ve seen firsthand how different scents can transform not just a space, but also the way we feel. Our sense of smell is intricately linked to the brain's limbic system, the part responsible for memory, emotions, and behavior. This is why a particular fragrance can instantly bring up a memory or change our mood. Whether it’s the smell of fresh lavender or the warmth of cinnamon, scents can have a profound impact on how we experience the world around us. Lavender: The Calm in the Storm Lavender is widely known for its soothing properties. It’s often used in aromatherapy to reduce stress, anxiety, and even help with sleep. Personally, I’ve found that lighting a lavender candle in the evening helps me unwind...
