CT River Candles Review & GIveaway




I have always loved burning candles.  For me, they are not just a way to make my house smell pretty. I love gazing into the flame and feeling the power of the element of fire.  I use candles for magic and meditation just as much as I use them home decor. At CT River Candles, I found the perfect candles to suit all my needs. Their candles for made from clean, natural soy and the finest perfume oils infused with essential oils and come in a wide range of scents that are perfect for any occasion. Their fruity scents and bakery varieties are great to have in my kitchen, but they also have some unique combinations that were just what I needed for meditation.




For my review, I picked out the Dragon's Blood candle. Its a nice, earthy fragrance that merges orange, patchouli, and cedar wood essential oils. This is one of my favorite scents for incense, and its especially nice for mediation. But with a new baby coming, I probably won't be able to burn incense for at least a few months. This wonderful candle is the perfect substitute, and in a lot of ways better than the incense. There is smoke or messy ashes to clean up afterwords and the scent lingers long after its extinguished. I have been burning the 16 oz jar for a least a few hours every day for the last five days, and half the jar is still full. And since they are soy based, there is no black soot left behind when you blow out the flame.




 The Dragon's Blood is only one example of the unique scents you can find at CT River Candles.  Some other varieties I would love to try are the Bergamont and Coriander, Asian Amber, and Antique Sandalwood. But if you prefer the more traditional scents, you can also pick from things like Clean Cotton and Very Vanilla. All the candles are available in jars, tins, tarts and melts. You can also find accessories like tart warmers, wick trimmers, fire starters, and more. Candles are always a great gift and you can never have too many for yourself. So head over to CT River Candles and check out their amazing selection today.
