#Workshop - March 7th @ 8:30pm: D.I.Y. Body Products (Massage Candles and Sugar Scrub)

By this point your wax should be cool enough to add the fragrance to. You will be

adding roughly ¼ cup of fragrance oil or essential oil. For my candles, I have

chosen a combination of French Vanilla and Patchouli oils. These combine to

create a dark vanilla scent similar to that of the JJ Dark Vanilla candles. (I

prefer to work with a plain vanilla oil, but this is what I had the most of.) Add

the oil directly to your wax mixture and stir.



(If you have chosen to add essential oils, it is important to ensure that they

are non-irritating, or are diluted enough to use on skin safely. Some of the

oils I use are possible skin irritants, in which case, I mix them in low quantity

with non-irritating oils, and use slightly less than is called for, or combine

with a small amount of carrier oil such as almond or jojoba. I do have

information on many different essential oils, I will include info on some

commonly used essential oils, as well as butters, carrier oils and exfoliants at

the end of my workshop.) less

Once your wax has set completely, you can remove your skewers from the wicks.

Your candles should look thick rich and creamy, almost good enough to eat!



You now have the choice of either leaving your wicks as they are until you burn

your candles, or trimming them to 1/3 of an inch from the surface of the candle.

You will eventually have no choice but to trim your cute curly wicks though.

Congratulations! You have made your first Massage Candles! less

OMG I love smell of grapefruit. At Bed, Bath & Beyond that is the aroma I buy when it comes to their lotions and splashes. At Victoria Secreat their was one that had grapefruit in it, if I see the bottle I can recognize it. I love that aroma for some reason that along with lemon/lime and cucumber. less
