Give the Gift of a Refillable 100 % Pure Beeswax and Essential Oils Candle That Comes in a Beautifully Handblown Jar from Bluecorn Botanica Candles This Holiday Season -- You Can't Have Enough Candles! (Review)

Disclosure: I was sent a sample from the vendor in exchange for an honest review. All views shared are mine and mine alone.

What is one thing you can't have enough of?  For me it candles.  I have two full shelves of  jar candles, votives and wax melts.  Where we live in the country, the littlest wind can knock out our power for a few hours to a few days.  So, it is a necessity to have candles on hand to light and provide light and warmth.  And, when we don't need them for when the power goes out, they are nice to have and light to make the house smell warm and welcoming, especially during the holidays when you seem to get a lot of unexpected guests stopping by.  Don't ask me if I have a favorite scent, as I have so many favorites.  They seem to go hand and hand with the seasons and holidays.  For fall I like to burn apple, cinnamon and pumpkin scented candles.  And, then once Thanksgiving is over I go into full Christmas mode.  I shift my candle stash around, moving my festive scents to the front, which include balsam and fir scented candles to burn near our artificial tree to give the living room a woodsy tree scent to feel more homey.  I also love burning scents like Christmas cookies, hot chocolate and other fun baked goods scented candles.  I usually have one candle burning throughout the day in the kitchen as I love to walk through the house and smell fresh baked cookies even if I am not baking anything.  There is something about this scent that just warms the soul and makes you feel cozy and relaxed.

Like I said, you can't have too many candles.  So, when I was asked to try out a line of candles unfamiliar to me, I jumped at the opportunity.  Have you heard about Bluecorn Botanica and their line of 100% pure raw beeswax and essential oils candles?  This candle was born out of the desire to provide simplicity to the candle word, while making a point to source only the finest of beeswax that is "lightly filtered to remove any particulates, while leaving the sweet scent and vibrant color intact."  While it seems like a lot of steps go into making these candles, it really is a simple process, but produces an amazing smelling candle that you'll love to burn in your home, and gift to family and friends this holiday season. 

In addition to using pure beeswax and essential oils, the candles from Bluecorn Botanica also come in refillable, hand blown glass holders.  You can really feel the weight of the blown glass when you hold their candles, compared to other candles you own.  

I really like the look and feel of the candle jar, along with the cork top that fits snuggle into the jar.  The 22 oz. candle has 3 wicks, and burns clean each and every time you light the candle.  There is also a smaller 8 oz. single wick candle that also comes in a hand blown jar, and is perfect for gifting as part of a pampering gift, or could even be used for baby or wedding shower favors.  I, for one, always make a point to have small candles in my gift closet for last minute gift giving.  And, after sampling the Bluecorn Botanica beeswax candle, I will definitely be making a point to pick up a handful of the different scented 8 oz. candles to stash for gift giving, while also picking up a few more 22 oz. jars to burn throughout the holidays and into the winter months.

After having experienced this candle and loving the handmade blown glass jar, I was excited to learn that you can buy refills of the different scents directly from Bluecorn Botanica Candles, to pop into your candle jars once you have used them up.  At 30% off the cost of a regularly priced candle, you can't go wrong with helping save the planet from excess waste by reusing your glass candle jar and burning these 100% pure beeswax candles.  And, if you subscribe to get refills, you will also save an additional 10%.  So, it is a win win all around.  Your house will smell amazing, the planet will thank you, and you will save, so you can buy more candle refills. :-)

More about Botanica Beeswax Candles:

"These blown glass vessels, each a unique work of art, are our way of celebrating the divine alchemy of bee and blossom. Hand-crafted by artisans in Mexico, this amber glassware is made from 100% post-consumer recycled material, looks like molten honey, and reveals the maker's hand in every bubble and curve. These candles really are breathtakingly beautiful - something you are sure to hear from friends, family and party goers. 

Our Botanica beeswax jar candles are a clean, simple blend of raw beeswax and pure essential oils - nothing more. The large, 22oz 3-wick candle, is a visually striking centerpiece and will produce a stronger hot throw (scent strength while burning) because of the larger burn pool. The smaller, 8oz single wick candle, is great for spreading the light (and scent) throughout a space and of course, for strategically combining with other Botanica scents.

We know this gorgeous glass is an investment, that's why we've made custom refills for up to 30% off the full candle price!
