Beanpod Soy Candle Recipe of the Day: Peace & Quiet

Many of our faithful in-store customers, or faithful blog readers, are already acquainted with my daughter, Ryan. She is turning two years old this week! I can hardly believe it! She's a semi-permanent fixture in our North Conway store, coming in to work with me 3 or 4 days a week. However, she's spending this week with her Grandparents, being spoiled silly no-doubt! And for some reason this inspires today's recipe: Peace & Quiet. To make this recipe, sure to transport you to a restful and relaxing place, you get to use June's Fragrance of the Month! Just burn one candle each of Beanpod's Solitude, Harmony, and Serenity in close quarters (or combine the scents using soy beads) turn off the TV, disconnect the phone and sink into the silence!

Beanpod Soy Candle Recipe of the Day: Sugar & Spice

Many of you who have been in our store are already familiar with my daughter, Ryan. She comes in with me several days a week and has become sort of a Soyfire mascot over the past two years. As the old saying goes, Ryan is definitely sugar & spice & everything nice, and - as such - she is also the inspiration for today's recipe. To make "Sugar & Spice" start with Beanpod's Sugar Cookie jar candle and "season it" with Whipped Cream & Cinnamon Spice soy beads. Ryan highly recommends it!

Beanpod Soy Candle Recipe of the Day: Ryan's Recipe

Today's recipe is inspired by our store mascot, my 22 month old daughter, Ryan! Many of you who have been in our flagship store in North Conway, NH have had the pleasure of meeting her. She's cute as a button and spends most of her time asking to be held by her Mother and sniffing the candles - often at the same time! She very carefully requests each scent - one by one - working her way around the perimeter, however, when she reaches the Fruit section (the store is arranged by scent categories) she outright demands to smell both the Lemon Citrus and Honeydew Melon candles together. It amazes me that she can be so insistent on this point. She has no use for either scent alone, but together she is in heaven! And let me tell you something, she's on to something! These two scents mixed together are so summery, clean & sweet that it makes me feel like it's suddenly the middle of July! So give it a try, Ryan is sure you won't be disappointed!

Our New Employee

Ryan, my 20 month old, is a familiar face to many of our shoppers. She comes to work here 3-4 days a week and almost always has a smile and a warm greeting for our shoppers. Luckily, she's also highly trainable!
