Make your house smell like a mermaid's tail
Do you like scented candles and wax melts? Author Lindsey R. Loucks has
joined her love of story-telling with creative, eco-friendly candles,
wax melts, lip balms, and other products with her company
“turtledinosaur.” Her candles and wax melts are made with renewable,
American grown soy, and include such whimsical names as Make Friends
With Vampires, My Mermaid Tail Is Better Than Yours, and Book Boyfriend.
Each candle and wax melt comes with a short story to explain the name.
When asked what tips she'd give to other aspiring candlemakers, Lindsey answered:
"For example, Book Boyfriend is a mix of oud wood, leather, musk, and a scent called Fierce. It took a while to get the proportions right, but once I did, BAM! Book Boyfriend was created! I knew ahead of time kind of how I wanted it to smell, and I got it!"
One lucky reader is going
