Beanpod Soy Candle Recipe of the Day: Brownie ala Mode

It's the weekend (well, not for me, but for most of America!) and a gorgeous one to boot! What better way to treat your selves with a little "Brownie a la Mode?" To make today's recipe, mix Beanpod's chocolate soy beads with vanilla and whipped cream soy beads in your melter. It's as indulgent as the classic summer dessert, but 100% calorie-free! Not a bad deal, huh?

Beanpod Soy Candle Recipe of the Day: Spring Air

Now that Spring has finally arrived in North Conway in all its glory, I am revelling in it! The grass is greener every day, buds are forming on the trees, and - my favorite part of spring - windows are starting to open up here and there. Aaaah... fresh air inside the house! I remember you! It is with that in mind I bring you the recipe for "Spring Air." Mix Beanpod Candle's Lilac, Earthly Embrace, and Fresh Linen soy beads in a melter and warm. If you really want to get crazy, you can warm it with an Ocean Mist tealight and add a fourth fresh scent into the mix. It'll smell like the sun is shining, the lilacs are in bloom, there's a fresh load of laundry drying outside, and all is right with the world! Hooray for Spring!

Happy Earth Day!

Hope everyone out there is having a wonderful Earth Day!

Get out and enjoy the sunshine, if you have it, and if not, enjoy the fact that every drop of rain makes the new grass that much greener! Why not celebrate today by lighting a petroleum free, biodegradable, American Farmer-supporting Beanpod Candle?

Beanpod Soy Candle Recipe of the Day: Apple Pie ala Mode

Mmmmmm... What's better than Apple Pie? Well, Apple Pie ala Mode, of course! Doesn't ice cream make everything better? It always works for me! And it's the same for candles, too! Beanpod already makes an amazing Apple Pie scented soy candle, but here's how you can make it even better, just "season" it with whipped cream and vanilla soy beads and suddenly it's not just the sweet, warm scent of a fresh baked desert, but a truly indulgent aroma.

Beanpod Soy Candle Recipe of the Day: Cape Cod Breeze

Every year my husband and I try to take a little time off and head to the Cape. It's where we took our honeymoon and it is a very dear place for us. We usually wait until just after Labor day to avoid all the crowds, but inevitably I start thinking about getting away come the return of warm weather. So today, as my thoughts drift ocean-side, I present today's Beanpod Candle soy bead recipe: Cape Cod Breeze. Combine Ocean Mist, Fresh Linen, and Serenity soy beads in your favorite melter and dream of lazy vacation days stretched out on warm sand. Oh yeah... I'm there!

Beanpod Soy Candle Recipe of the Day: Forest Trail

Aaah... life in the White Mountains! At this time of year, I love to get out and take a leisurely walk though the woods and take in the smells of Spring. Today's recipe will comfort those of you who share my love for this fresh, piny, earthy scent. Start with Beanpod's Adirondack Mountains candle and season it with Evergreen and Bonsai Tree soy beads. The balsam fragrance of the Evergreen and the earthy, mossy scent of the Bonsai Tree blend so nicely with the sharp scent of Scotch pines in Adirondack Mountains that you get the full forest aroma.

Beanpod Soy Candle Recipe of the Day: Citrus Punch

Did you know that citrus scents were very energizing? Well, you would if you were one of our loyal blog readers! Anyhow, I'm feeling in need of a little pick-me-up today and the usual caffeine route is just not getting it done, so - as always - I turn to candles! Today I'm making Citrus Punch, which involves Beanpod's Tangerine & Lime Cooler scents. Instead of using the traditional soy bead method for blending the scents, I'm just burning the two scents in side-by-side jars. Just as effective, and a teensy bit less effort which suits me fine on this sleepy day! Happy weekend, everybody!
