Rainbow Soy wax Candles for creatives- part one

"I have set my bow in the cloud and it shall be a sign of the covenant between me and the earth"

                                          Genesis, 9-13




Rainbow is a covenant 





Rainbow is a promise 





Rainbow is all the colors of white light.



The colors of the rainbow are bright and fresh, cheerful and deep. The primary colors are blue, yellow and red and from them emanate orange, violet, indigo and green. Each color has its own effect on feelings but all together, I believe they provide a perfect scene for creativity.



Looking at a rainbow, even if it's not full, makes me smile and always lift burdens off my heart even those I didn't know were there. I always try not to point at the rainbow as someone once told me it might bring bad luck, although "Hey look! A rainbow!"  Always spills out of my mouth unintentionally.

And so when I thought of  unique candles for creative's which will combine inspiration, good energy and a non digital way to measure time I came up with the idea of rainbow soy wax candles. Each one of the candles will measure the time differently. For instance this one will be about two and a half hours of normal time for the burning of each color.



These first candles are Vanilla scented but you can ask for the scent which you love best and makes you most inspired and focused.

P.S
Of course if the Rainbow doesn't work for you, the same candles with the same way of  "time measuring" can be made with other colors.

The first ones are now posted for sale in my Etsy's shop

Scents and Sensibility

How to use scents sensibly? Looking at myself and others we tend to surround ourselves with artificial scents, perfumes, air fresheners, scented creams and soaps, and of course scented candles. Sometimes I realize I get carried away using all sorts and forms of smells to cover up our natural scents. I tend to forget the good smell of sweating during a workout or good sex. If a shirt is left alone with the sweat to get sour it needs washing not deodorant underneath.


 If I enter into a closed carpeted room and it smells moldy, clearly it has mold in it so the most sensible thing to do is to thoroughly clean it, maybe let some real fresh air in and not only light a heavily scented candle or use a strong air freshener spray to cover up 



the unpleasant smell. Mold is not good for us so better try to get rid of it and then maybe light a slightly scented candle for a last touch of cleaning like a dessert at the end of a good meal when you are not too stuffed up to enjoy it.



I am not a religious person yet one of my favorite philosophers is one of the greatest Jewish Rabbis ever, Maimonides or the RAMBAM as we call him in Hebrew, who in the 12th century taught of "Golden Mean"- the middle path in life which is good for soul as well as for body (he served as the personal doctor of the king of Spain).


 I try to lead my life accordingly and my approach to scents in candle is no different.  So I try to make my candles as friendly as possible without them being too invasive in their scents.



I try to make them as scented as spices and herbs in good cooking and not as heavily scented as air freshener for the loo. I must tell you that when you enter my house you can feel their presence but they will not be able to compete against my famous chicken soup or the dreamlike scent of blooming Jasmine at night time.

Yet this is me and my taste, if you feel differently you can always contact me and I will be happy to follow your wishes and dreams and expectations from scented candles.

I will love to get your feed back and opinion so please leave a comment.
