Have You Tried Salt Spring Island Candles?

January 18, 2018~ Decor, home & living

You all know I love a good candle. Do any of you remember that horrific post I wrote 3 years ago about candles? I’m too embarrassed to even share the link as a throwback, but good god was it funny. It was me waxing lyrical about the candle light, dancing flames, soft glows, and alluring smells. Yada yada yada. All of that is still true, but this time I’m actually talking about candles that I have tried and tested and absolutely love. Have y’all ever heard of Salt Spring Island Candles?

*Salt Spring Island Candles sponsored this post, but all thoughts are my own. Thank you for supporting the brands that make PMQ for two possible.

Salt Spring Island Candles are the little gift that keeps on giving. When was the last time you shopped for a new candle scent? Give some of these a try and you'll be blown away by the quality (100% soy and essential oils), production (made in Canada) and story behind the brand. Plus, ya know, they smell amazing.

I first discovered Salt Spring Island Candles at Blog Podium in 2015. There was a booth at the conference, and then they graciously gave us each one in our goodie bags. I have treasured and nursed that candle for 3 years y’all. I’ve picked up a few other scents along the way, but the hearth candle is everything that Christmas is about.

The company is run by an adorable husband and wife duo, and they make candles that smell like the goodness of Canada’s West coats. They even have one named after their daughter Anjali (which smells effing amazing).

If their adorable story hasn’t sold you, the scents will. If you’re like me, you need to start small before committing to a big candle, so you should totally do that. They sell little 4oz tins that are a great way to wet your whistle. You can then upgrade to the 8oz tins, or try the milk bottles (which have their own custom scents).

I tried the Sitka scent for the first time with this order and am in love! It’s wintery without being Christmasy – and that’s key. Don’t you find most scents are created for holidays, and there isn’t much beyond the generic vanilla, for the rest of the year? I do, and that’s why I love discovering the aroma inventory from companies I know and love.

Sitka is a blend of western red cedar + spruce + douglas fir scents, and all of their candles are hand poured with 100% essentials oils and 100% soy wax. It’s that goooood stuff yo.

I was also very interested in sampling the Anjali scent. They originally created it to raise funds for their daughter’s coding and robotics studies, but it was a knock-out so they continued making it. I am 100% about women in STEM, so this was a no brainer.

Salt Spring Island Candles are a nice little treat for yourself at any time of the year, but I especially love candles at this time of year when their warmth and light contributes to all my hygge feelings. While this shoot was 100% staged, it started out that way and then ended with me laying on the ground listening to Rod Stewart & Sly and The Family Stone. That’s a pretty good way to end the day if you ask me.

JB’s Montessori playroom is looking pretty good, JB’s Montessori playroom is looking pretty good, especially now that all the Christmas decor is gone. Bear in mind, this is what it looks like before a child has actually had a chance to play in it 😂

I think we’ve all been feeling a little powerles I think we’ve all been feeling a little powerless these days, but @laybabylay made a great point in her stories the other day: you can always do something nice. You can buy the order of the person in line behind you at the drivethru. You can donate to charitable organizations doing things you believe in. You can make a meal for your neighbour who might be having a hard time with lockdown. It’s amazing how much better I feel when I do something nice, and I bet you will too ❤️

“Life is what happens when you’re busy making “Life is what happens when you’re busy making other plans” - John Lennon. 😎 As a family who moves a lot, we’re ready for a new chapter/ new house, but I’m not sure if I’ll be able to leave all the memories! We brought June home here 😭 she learned to walk here, and said her first words here. I wonder what other “firsts” she’ll have before we move. [pictured, June in a messy kitchen last year]

*insert pun about light* AD: our Kai sconces from *insert pun about light* AD: our Kai sconces from @mymitzi make this wet bar. Sure, secret thing else contributes to the #retroaesthetic , but lighting sets the mood. These brass sconces blend right in when they need to, but gleefully take center stage after dark. What do ya think?
