Beanpod Soy Candle Recipe of the Day: Relaxing Retreat

We all need a little retreat once in a while. Maybe we can't always arrange for that long-spa weekend that we feel we deserve, but maybe just a mini-vacation in your own bathroom will be enough to rejuvenate your spirit until you can make that trip a reality!

To create your own Relaxing Retreat you will need:

1 quiet hour

1 large bathtub

1 bottle of bubble bath

1 fluffy towel

Assorted glass holders

(2) boxes of Beanpod Candle Solitude tealights

Mix it up a little and grab a book, or beverage if you'd like. Maybe pop in a relaxing CD to listen to - whatever is going to help you relax. Everyone is entitled to a little "me" time, you're no exception! Make your own retreat today!

Beanpod Soy Candle Recipe of the Day: Raspberry Margaritas

Mmmmmm.... margaritas. Is there something I like more than a margarita on a warm sunny day? I don't think so! Of course it's not always "appropriate" to carry tequila with you everywhere, so if you want to enjoy the aromas of a tall pitcher of Raspberry Margaritas, just try this: burn on candle each of Beanpod's Raspberry Lemonade, Lime Cooler, and Lemon Citrus and suddenly you're on a warm Mexican beach being served a frosty glass by your favorite pool boy, Juan Carlos. Hold the salt, please Juan!

Beanpod Soy Candle Recipe of the Day: Banana Split

Mmmmmmm... I could go for something sweet. Anyone for a banana split? OK, maybe not an actual banana split. That would be a lot of calories. Plus it's not quite warm enough out there to truly indulge in an ice cream treat. But that doesn't mean we can't surround ourselves with the decadent fragrances! This is a fun one, because - just like making a real sundae - you can go as crazy as you want. I recommend starting with Beanpod Candle's Vanilla, Chocolate & Banana Cream Pie flavored soy beads. Depending on your preferences, you can also add Toasted Hazelnut, Strawberry Cream, Orange Vanilla, Angel Amaretto or Whipped Cream! Have fun with it!

Beanpod Soy Candle Recipe of the Day: Long Winter’s Nap

Boy, oh boy have we been spoiled? The Northeast has had a positively spectacular end to winter with unheard of warmth and snow melt starting in late February and continuing right through this past week. Never can I remember packing up my snow shovels and rock salt as early as St. Patrick's Day, so this week's wintry chill should not surprise me. Surely, we're not heading full-force back into winter, but it's enough to give us pause and enjoy this last throes of winter as it waves goodbye. It makes me think of those restful, clean fragrances I love to burn on chilly winter days and inspired today's recipe: Long Winter's Nap. To make this scent, start with Beanpod Candle's Solitude scent and combine it with their new 2010 fragrance, Pink Petals & calming favorite Lavender. Now curl up and dream of those warm Spring days which are waiting in the wings!

Beanpod Recipe of the Day: Spa Day

I don't know about you, but it seems like the weather in this country has done a flip-flop. I'm hearing reports of snow in Tallahassee, and up here in New Hampshire, it's practically Spring-like. To that end, it puts me in the mood for new, Spring-y scents like this one using one of Beanpod's newest fragrances: Fresh Water. To make Spa day, just combine Aloe Vera, Fresh Water & Lavender soybeads in your favorite melter and breath in the soft, fresh aroma. It's as relaxing and rejuvenating as an early Spring!

Christmas is only 2 weeks away!

Tis the season for a new recipe! Try this one: Start with your favorite melter an pour in a tablespoon each of Candy Cane and Angel Amaretto soy beads, then just a sprinkle of Evergreen beads on top. Warm and enjoy all aromas as the mingle and dance about the room!
