It's time for a new BLOG GIVEAWAY!!
I am thrilled and honored to host this fabulous 
event for my friend Wende who is the owner 
and handmade maiden of MIREIO on Etsy.
Wende is giving away one of her beautiful 
MIREIO is also having a special  
15% OFF SALE

***
Find gifts for your bffs, coworkers, teachers, 
neighbors, friends and families. The holidays are
just around the corner...so stock up and save!
These candles would also make the perfect 
gifts for birthdays, weddings and bridal showers.
Wende's shop is overflowing with beautiful 
handmade creations that are incredibly luxurious 
and eco-friendly. It's like walking into a boutique 
filled with your favorite scented candles and 
colorful accessories for your home or office. 
Everything created by Wende is gorgeous...from 
her little Acorn Sachets to her handmade Pillows 
to her Soy Candles and her images are like candy 
for the eyes. 
I've asked Wende to share her story and the special
reasons why she decided to open her shop on Etsy. 
It's peak into the spark that started Wende on this
journey to develop her own handmade line of spa
candles, luxurious pillows and collectibles for the home. 
 
We could all use some les choses de luxe because 
life should be filled with beauty that inspires us. 
Our home is a special place where we gather
our thoughts and the place where our dreams
come to life.
 What inspired you to create this new line of candles?

Mireio has always made amazing soy candles--- usually 
in upcycled or recycled glass. But for the longest time, 
I’ve been craving something more evocative of spa like 
the fragrances Mireio is best known for creating. 
Something that is long lasting and soothing—something 
that lets you take the spa with you. And I don’t think 
any glass says “Spa” like the frosted tumbler.

 What are the ingredients in your handmade candles?

I always start with eco-friendly soy wax. Did you know 
that soy burns cleaner than paraffin wax? And it also 
burns differently. In fact, I have a great tutorial on how 
to best burn your soy candle ---and how to salvage it 
if your candle accidentally goes awry. 
As well, I only use a cotton wick to keep the sooting 
at a minimum. It’s easier on the environment and it’s 
easier on your lungs. As always, Mireio candles feature 
only the best of fragrances---and this line is poured into 
the loveliest of frosted glass. When you’re done, a quick 
clean-up and you can reuse the glass in a number of ways. 
I think they make lovely little vases for a handful of flowers. 
Just the right size for my desk in my studio!
What is the handmade story behind your desire 
to create
these lovely products and to share them with others?
I’ll confess, I’m a candle addict! And there is nothing more 
disappointing than to get a candle home from the store and 
not have it “perform” properly. Whether it doesn’t smell as 
good burning or it doesn’t burn correctly---it’s maddening! 
So, three years ago, I decided I would create my own line 
of candles that would both smell amazing AND have a long 
life. I spend a lot of time sourcing just the right ingredients to 
create a long lasting and still eco-friendly candle. My customers 
rave about Mireio’s Spa Fragrances. I’ve chosen to focus on 
just a few really amazing fragrances, and I only add new scents 
that live up to my standards. We do a lot of fragrance blending 
and testing at my house!
