What's Hot?

What are the candle trends of today anyway?
I have noticed a big serge in all natural waxes. Soy wax (a vegetable wax) being the most popular at the moment and beeswax. Beeswax is very expensive, soy wax is much more affordable. Both waxes burn cleaner than paraffin waxes do. Plus using an all cotton wick also helps with a cleaner burning candle.
"Spa" like packages are also in vogue today. Scents meant to energize you, relax you, purify you, etc. These candles not only have to smell good, but must also do their job! Aromatherapy at its best.
Reed diffusers are also on the rise. These are perfect for those who do not want to light a candle. You can still get your favorite scents in form of the reed diffuser. They are also becoming fancy with different colored oils or pretty stones in the bottles. My reed diffusers are now available with wood roses to add with the reeds. They work well in the diffusers & look very pretty. (My reed diffusers will be up on my site soon, but if you want them you can still order them if you email me at mariesgelcandles@aol.com )
What other trends can you think of?? Any ones that you like or dislike?
