Beeswax Candles

         The other day I bought some nice smelly candle melts in order to give our house a lovely fall scent of pumpkin and spices. I should have left that up to the pumpkin bread I had baked earlier that day. We have eliminated basically all chemical based products from our house. From household cleaners to personal care products, and now...smelly candles. I woke up in the middle of the night with my asthma and allergies triggered and had to pop an allergy pill. I started doing my research, as I always do when I'm about to be rid of yet another chemical based product. Before I started on this journey to try and make the products we use healthier, and I do make a lot of my own, my body was not bothered by many of the dangerous products that line store shelves. Today that's a completely different story. I have grown sensitive to many of the products I used to use. It's actually an incentive now to stay away from them. Not to mention that I enjoy making my own stuff!
           What I found when researching candles, is that many of the fragrances and whatnot that are in candles we buy at most stores, are not good for those who suffer from Asthma and allergies. Not good for anyone really!
         I found that beeswax, when burned, will help to cleanse the air in your house. What's even better, beeswax candles only require a few ingredients and are super easy to make. Now, I haven't made any yet, but will be on my way to find those ingredients later today. Once I get them made I will post the recipe I use and pictures. I can't wait to get started on this next project. Should BEE fun!
