Sometimes We All Need a Little Pick-Me-Up

Today Hartley House Candle Company introduces the first in its All Natural Aromatherapy line! These candles are made from 100% certified organic, GMO free soy wax, soy based dye for color shading and essential oils for scent that have been certified organic-free from all carriers and diluents. They have been harvested from the freshest materials within clean distilleries.

These candles offer the same luxurious scent as Hartley House Candle Company's other line but with added therapeutic qualities and commitment to green living.

Our first release is a Hartley House blended oil, Grapefruit & Bergamot. I have chosen these complimentary oils for the first release for many reasons. Grapefruit essential oil is a refreshing scent that evokes warm feelings and lifts a sour mood and Bergamot is an uplifting, confidence building scent. Grapefruit oil is also reported to aid in weight loss, curbing your desire to eat to suppress emotions. Blended together these citrus based oils will lift depression caused by unreleased tension and fatigue and help ease those bottled up negative emotions leaving you feeling refreshed, slightly energized and ready to face your day with confidence. For added ambiance and therapeutic qualities, these candles can be made with untreated wooden wicks :) To order, please visit Hartley House Candle Company at Facebook or my Etsy shop, Hartley House Candle Company on Etsy.

After the week we have faced here in the Northeast, we could all use a little pick-me-up! For me, watching the super storm and its aftermath unfold while friends and family were already dealing with their own personal tragedies has been emotionally draining. It is difficult to not feel powerless (no pun intended fur the millions left without power) in times like these.

So I light this candle in the face of the storm, both Sandy and everyone's inner storm, and I say let it lift our spirits above us and help guide us to brighter days.

I would also like to remind everyone to please contribute to the disaster relief and recovery efforts for Hurricane Sandy. There are many large charities, like The American Red Cross, and hundreds of collections/donations/shelter spots popping up across the tri state area.

Our Cities are in ruin, but we will rise up Jersey strong.


Give what you have. To someone, it may be better than you dare to think.

May you find a sense of peace this week.  God Bless!
