All Candles Are Not
Created Equal

A few weeks ago we wrote about the Delta Made marketplace at the Clinton Center. It was fabulous. The students did a wonderful job coordinating, and we hope that they do it again and that it continues to grow. It was a wonderful way to introduce Central Arkansas to some of the wonderful products made in the Delta.
One of the products we picked up was a soy candle made by Belle Candles in West Memphis. We admit, we love candles. We burn them every day. They are ambiance, romance, light, and smell. They just make our day better. So when we saw the table full of candles, we were pulled like a magnet. They had many different scents. From fruits to flowers to aromatherapy - these scents are exquisite. We settled on Tranquil - a soothing blend of rain, chamomile, lavender, rose, and lilac.
We've lived with this candle for a while now - and we love it. The scent makes any day better - especially the more stressful ones. And the soy base burns clean and even. Soy candles are a great invention. They really do burn slowly and evenly - producing a longer lasting candle and an exceptional scent. Plus, they're cleaner on the environment.
We are thrilled to support local products and local entrepreneurs - and Belle Candles has made a quality product. We hope you try them and love them, too.
