Who doesn’t love the sight and aroma of a freshly burning candle? I think most people can agree that candles are lovely additions to dining rooms, living rooms and bedrooms, and that they can give any home an amazingly cozy feel.

Unfortunately, most scented candles on the market today are full of toxins and chemicals that are very harmful to our health. The ingredients used in the wicks and wax of these candles can contain hazardous substances that are tied to hormone disruptions, behavioral and learning problems, and many other health issues.

Fortunately, there are healthier options that are much safer for us to burn. Nura’s candles are made with plant based soy wax and phthalate-free fragrances. There are no artificial dyes or additives used and paraffin wax is never used (so no toxic fumes or hazardous chemicals are emitted!). As you guys know, I’m super picky when it comes to the candles I burn in my home. These candles pass the “clean” test for me, as well as the “cute” test! They look adorable and smell amazing. Plus, the scent names are so cute! Kiss is my new favorite.

These would make a perfect Christmas gift for your loved ones or they would be the perfect candle to burn in your home during the holidays! Made locally and hand poured in LA, purchasing these candles would be the perfect way to support small/local business this holiday season! Do me a favor and check out Nura’s candles!
