What's Em Burning Now?

What's Em Burning Now?

Hey there Lovelies. Lately, I've been trying to manifest a few things that would make life in general more comfortable. Yeah, comfortable would be the word I'm looking for. I'll just come out and say it. I've been trying to get a new car. So I've been burning a combination of Lakshmi, Blessed Herbal Attraction, and Blessed Herbal Stability, all of which I've anointed with Blessed Herbal Attraction Oil, Witch's Brew Dragon's blood oil, and Motor City Hoo Doo Road Opener Oil. I wrote my intention on all three candles with a push pin. My Lakshmi has been torching pretty hard.

Em's Picks: Oils and Burners

Em's Picks: Oils and Burners

If you in anyway follow my blog, you know my obsession with versatility in spiritual tools. Todays topic revolves something that can be both spiritual and non-spiritual. You can simply use them to create an AMAZING smelling environment. I am speaking about essential oils/oil blends, and oil burners. 

In my time working for the Candle Wick Shoppe, I have encountered many customers who were interested in oils and burners for various reasons. Not all of those customers knew how to use an oil burner or even the oils. 

Let's start with essential oils. There are so many uses for essential oils, that this humble blog post may have to turn into a series just to do them an ounce of justice. I always recommend research before using any product. When it comes to oils, I recommend researching if a chosen oil is skin safe, artificial, blended, etc., so you will know what type of use can be applied. I like to make sure my oils are skin safe. Why, you ask? Because I like to wear my oils as well as use them in an oil burner. They can be used for anointing during rituals, or used in place of perfume or cologne.I have my favorite oil blend which has it's own intended purpose.b2ap3_thumbnail_005_20140329-184215_1.JPG

 

When it comes to oil burners, you want a sturdy, stable base that is heat/ flame proof and safe to burn a tea light candle under. NEVER leave a flame UNATTENDED!!!! That is extremely important. When it comes to the bowl that holds the oils, I prefer one that is detachable to help with easy clean up, but that is simply a personal preference. When heating oils, I always recommend placing a small amount of water in the bowl as well as a few drops of oil. This does a few things. One, it insures a customizable level of fragrance. Two, it prevents the oil from scorching and leaving a horrid burnt oil smell. Three, EASY CLEAN UP!!

Here at Candle Wick, we have a great variety of oils, and more than a few burners. Why not stop by and peruse our selection.
