Chrsitmas Cookie Candles

I have four cooling in the kitchen! 5 lbs of wax looks like it equals to 6 or 7 big candles.

This is so exciting! So, it turns out that it's pretty easy to make vegan candles!

Soy Candles

I've ordered the soy wax chips and fragrance. Now, I just have to wait for it to arrive, glue in a wick to a jar, heat the wax, add the fragrance, cool and light.

Candles free of stearic acid and cetyl palmitate, and soot.

Ice Cream & Chocolate

Turtle Mountain Chocolate Peanut Butter Swirl is amazing!

The coconut milk takes the place of soy milk found in most other vegan frozen desserts. This is important for people trying to avoid ovarian cysts. Too much soy might = ovarian cysts.

Endangered Species Chocolate
Smooth Organic Dark Chocolate with Cherry

This is yummy! The cherry flavor is in the chocolate. And they donate 10% of their profits to help support species, habitat and humanity. This is my new favorite chocolate bar; I like it even more than their mint, non-organic, version.
