This Just In! Palm Wax tapers NOW AVAILABLE online!

We hear it all the time: Where can I get a Soy Wax taper? Well, we haven't found any quality 100% soy wax tapers, yet. Because Soy Wax is so soft, it naturally wants to liquefy when lit, and needs to be to be contained as with a jar or cup. The best answer we've found is Palm Wax tapers! Palm Wax, much like Soy Wax, burn cleaner and longer than Paraffin tapers and contain 100% cotton wicks. Palm Wax is a 100% vegetable renewable resource, derived from the fruit bunches of the oil palm tree. The oil is steam-pressed to create a white-flaked hard wax which has a beautiful crystalline appearance. We've carried these candles for years and always get a clean, dripless, long-lasting burn - about 10 hours per taper! We now can offer them online to all our customers who aren't lucky enough to live locally! They come 4-to a box, for $6.99 per box and are available in 10 gorgeous colors.

Here's how to get the scent of a scrumptious hot fudge sundae: Start with a Vanilla candle and sprinkle Chocolate and Whipped Cream soy beads on top of it to "season" it. As for the cherry on top, well, that is one indulgence I'll allow myself!
