Last week the innovative ‘Top Drawer on Demand’ event took place online. Usually Kensington Olympia is the prestigious location for the UK’s business, networking and buying fair for the creative fashion and home furnishings industry. This season in the UK the government’s lockdown restrictions continue, in order to reduce the spread of Covid-19. To ensure social distancing and embrace the need to work from home, this February’s bi-annual extravaganza was held using video calling technology.
Pips Taylor from Top Drawer presented a wonderful interview via webcam with Christina Brand from The Candle Brand on Friday 29th January. We joined Christina as she demonstrated one of her top sellers ‘the flower diffuser’. A glass jar containing beautifully scented liquid holds sola wood reed wicks which come complete with sculptural wood flower tops. The light coloured posy cleverly distributes fragrance automatically, thanks to the reed wicks and a cotton rope.
The reed takes up the delicate juice from the jar ready to transform any space with pretty floral, fruity and herbal scents, depending on which of Christina’s tempting flavour combinations is chosen. This attractive spray of blossoms has no ‘nasties’ and is eco friendly with sustainably sourced ingredients. Her UK made items are reasonably priced too as the flower diffusers are £21.99 and the bottles are £12.
The Candle Brand is based in Norwich close to the beautiful Norfolk countryside on the east coast of England. Christina started her company in 2018 after going on a candle making course while she was on maternity leave. “I have always been creative so it all just made sense.” she said with happiness about the lifestyle transition she has bravely made along with her husband Colin. Mrs Brand’s commercial experience includes banking, property consultancy and animal welfare so she is well placed to manage a new business, with all the different skills that this challenging role requires.
Minimising the impact on the environment is key to the company’s philosophy. “We make our products by hand using traditional manufacturing methods, and with high quality materials. We make conscious decisions about every part of the business – from the materials we work with, to the eco-friendly packaging we use.”
Coconut, soy and rapeseed wax and family safe fragrances are examples of the botanical vegan friendly ingredients in the hand poured candles. The Candle Brand website confirms that all the items are non-toxic and are free from phthalates, palm oil, beeswax, dyes and synthetic additives.
Christina recommends her invigorating eucalyptus and lemon fragrance is a “good all rounder” place to start when choosing from the 14 scents available. The Candle Brand’s selection includes a ‘pick and mix’ option which comes with cotton bags full of squares mini melts.
The magic encapsulated in these wax melts is formulated using coconut and all of the packaging is biodegradable. It is intended that small ceramic burners can be used with tealights to gently warm and release the melting wax scents into the air slowly. The traditional burners can be purchased from this thriving British small business. Mrs Brand also reveals that an electric powered wax melt burner is also available soon.
‘The Burn & Bloom 20 Hour Candle’ is another product in the range which comes in a variety of fragrances such as ‘Lavender with Clary Sage’ and ‘Norfolk Gin. The attention to detail is impressive particularly considering the £11.99 price point. The labels on the candle jars can be planted as they contain wildflower seeds. Larger 35 hour and 55 hour candles are also best sellers and good value at under £21.99. Four different gift sets in stylish wooden boxes are offered for under £40 each, so there is something to suit everyone’s tastes.
It was announced this week that The Candle Brand’s flower diffuser has just won ‘The Gift of The Year’ prize in the Top Drawer awards for the gift category. The judges loved the ’20 Hour Burn and Bloom’ which makes an ideal present for a friend or loved one.
This innovative group venture involves Colin Christina’s husband and Kirsty who is Christina’s sister in law. Two generations work together as Kim Colin’s mother is also part of this hard working and close knit clan. Ellie is Christina’s sister and part of the family at The Candle Brand. Ellie writes about “scent escapism” being the perfect way to calm and relax at home at this time where all our lives have been touched by the extraordinary events in the world. People of all ages are looking at ways of supporting their local makers and manufacturers this year.
There is a real demand for interior objects that bring spiritually uplifting vibes into our houses at the moment. Our properties have become everything from offices and restaurants to spas during the lockdowns. Filling rooms with inspiring and comforting aromas is a great way to support mental health and wellbeing. Warming scents can transport any household to a more peaceful ‘hygge’ place. We sense that The Candle Brand can look forward to many bright years ahead and the Brand team will continue to blossom and flourish in the future.
]]>Wax Melts are a really cheap and effective way to use your sense of smell to alter your emotions, and feelings within your space, in this blog post I will be giving you some ideas on how you can use some of our products in your home.
With 2020 having been such a tough year for everyone, it is important that from here on, we focus on caring for ourselves. There is a lot going on in the world right now that we cannot control, so let’s focus our energies on getting our heads in the right place, focussed, grounded and re energised.
With a lot of people in the world being stuck at home most of the time, with really nowhere else we can go to escape mentally, scent escapism is a really good way to get started, to take control of the one thing we should, our mental wellbeing. In 2020 during the pandemic, our living rooms became our classrooms, offices and relaxation space. Our homes started to feel less like home and more like a trap. This needs to change in the upcoming new year, and we can help you with that!
We all know how tingling our different senses can alter the way we feel, a massive one being our sense of smell! Here at The Candle Brand we have created a wide range of scents which evoke your emotions in different ways.
Have you ever thought about the fact that you could have different scents in different rooms, at different times of day? Each room can create a new feeling, a new atmosphere, its all about getting the ‘feng shui’ right, and this is more important than ever before.
Kitchen
Wake up to a zesty lemony fresh smell to get you motivated for the day and recharge those senses. We have ‘Eucalyptus and lemon’ here at The Candle Brand, if you placed one of our flower diffusers in your kitchen (let’s face it, the kitchen is the one room we really need to feel motivated) then when you get up in the morning and go to make your morning tea or coffee, you can instantly feel invigorated when you smell that fresh zesty aroma!
For a more ‘homely’ and wintery vibe, we have a wide range of wax melts that can fill a room with aroma. Wax melts are great for relaxation, with that warm flickering flame of the tea light and the calming sensation of watching the wax melt away in the burner, leaving the beautiful botanicals revealed and graciously floating in the oils.
Living Room
Whether you need a calm in your storm during home schooling, or need to reset your mind after a stressful morning of working from home, or even if your children have created chaos in your living room and you just want your house to smell clean at least (as long as your house smells clean, its clean right?) then pop one of our ‘Jasmine and Frankincense’ wax melts in your burner, these a safe to burn around the family, as long as your burner is out of little hands reach of course. Jasmine and Frankincense will help you and your family focus, keep your mind grounded for the rest of the challenges that the day might bring. Our fragrance ‘Lilly and white rose’ is another scent we have created which will uplift your mind and revive your thoughts; Get your mind back on the right track and inspire those positive emotions to flow.
When the study books are tidied away, your laptop is closed and you are off the clock, try lighting a ‘Norfolk Gin’ Wax melt or one of our candles, this will help you to detoxify your mind, unwind and refresh your space.
Bathroom
As we cannot go to a spa right now, and are yearning for the escape of our reality, get that spa feeling in the safe sanctuary that is your bathroom! In the evening when all the jobs are done, and you are winding down from the day, burn one of our ‘Chamomile and Cedarwood’ Wax melt cubes alongside some mellowing music in your bathroom while you are having a hot relaxing bath, close the door and take some ‘me time’, let your bathroom become a safe space to wind down and gather your thoughts. Chamomile is so calming, it will help to minimise your anxious feelings, calm your mind and body, and allow your thoughts to fade away into a bath of relaxation.
If you aren’t a bath person, keep a Chamomile and Cedarwood diffuser in your bathroom, have a hot steamy shower, and get ready for those calming aromas to fill your bathroom in the steam of your shower, get that steam room feeling!
Alternately, you could have ‘Very Vanilla’ in your bathroom, which helps to calm, compose and recharge!
Bedroom
Lavender is renowned for its relaxation properties, it’s also great to smell just before you go to bed. To calm your mind and your senses, burning a ‘Lavender with Clary Sage’ Wax melt in your burner before bed will fill your Bedroom with an aroma of relaxation. Be sure to blow it out before you drift off into your now deep and fulfilling sleep. A Lavender with Clary sage Flower Diffuser also would be great to have on your bedside table, to smell all night long, contributing to a long restful sleep.
I have only listed a few of our stimulating scents during this blog post, however we have so many more that can do so many things for you and your emotions, here is a list below of the other scents we have available and how they can affect the way you feel.
Lychee with Peony - Regenerate, enhance and soothe.
