It’s a NEW Year!

It’s a New Year and I am excited to get it started!

I have been busy these past few months. My family and I moved into our new home and couldn’t be happier!! I am still working for Dick Scott Automotive Group and now so is my husband, Nick in the Sales Department :-)

Our two Son’s are 3 years and 6 years now, and I still can’t figure out how that happend, lol. In my spare time I am still making candles and runing Simply Soy by Nikki Business is picking up so it’s a lot of work doing it all, but so worth it!

I love my business and all the amazing people I get to meet and events I have been privileged to attend! I am so lucky to have been invited into two Local businesses. So now you can find my candles at the Green and Glamorous Boutique in Canton and The Great Escape Spa in Dearborn! And of course www.SimplySoybyNikki.com

Soy Wax vs. Paraffin

According to many sources, soy candles last 50% longer than candles made of petroleum-based paraffin, the ingredient found in most candles. They also burn slower and cooler (helping to better distribute fragrance), are non-toxic, less likely to trigger allergies, clean up with soap and water, and produce little to no soot. These factors tend to make them more animal and child-friendly than traditional candles.
Soy wax is also very popular with people who are very aware of the environment. It is made from soybeans, it’s naturally biodegradable, a renewable resource, and is found right here in Michigan. I also live in Michigan; almost ALL of my products used to make Simply Soy Scented Candles are purchased from local distributors. Buying Simply Soy candles supports our local economy!
Paraffin wax, on the other hand, is made from petroleum, and produces carcinogens and soot when burned. In fact, one air quality researcher stated that the soot from a paraffin candle contains many of the same toxins produced by burning diesel fuel. Even many of the seemingly healthy, aromatherapy candles sold today can do more harm than good.
The newly popular gel candles are also petroleum-based and, though contrary to widely circulated emails, they are not likely to explode, they do pose a danger. If sufficient heat builds up, the glass container housing the candle can shatter.
Beeswax is another popular alternative to paraffin candles. It is also less likely to trigger allergies and does not produce toxins or soot when burned. It is generally more expensive than paraffin but burns longer. However, very few beeswax candles contain ONLY beeswax. Most contain a significant amount of paraffin.
Soy candles appear more opaque with a whitish film. Soy candles also will never look “Perfect” like paraffin candles. This is because soy wax does not contain any of the chemical fillers other waxes use. This lack of chemicals prevents soy wax from appearing smooth on top before and after burning. However, this “Imperfect” appearance is exactly what makes Simply Soy Scented Candles a Healthy, “I’m-Perfect” choice for you and the environment!
