Soy, Soy Good!

I'd like to take a blog to pimp my girl, Lori Jean and her deliciously scented soy candles!
All her candles are made of soy, so they burn clean! Woot!
She makes all the candles by hand, they are not made somewhere by highly skilled Chinese babies and then resold. She makes them! With her own two hands!
Previously, I was a Yankee Candle kinda gal, but I have to say that Lori's candles put them to shame - to shame!
You can pop on over to her site here: Lori Jean's and order up some yummy candles!

Here is a blurb from her site touting the upside to choosing soy candles over paraffin (petroleum based) candles:

Our candles are handmade with only the finest soy, and top of the line cotton wicks. These candles are, among other things, environmentally safe, non-toxic, and non-carcinogenic, unlike most household paraffin (petroleum) candles. Soy candles not only burn cleaner but also happen to be 90% SOOT free. The containers are easily cleaned after the candle-life with soap and water, to be reused. Since the soy candles burn cooler than the normal paraffin candles, they burn longer and hold more scent, not to mention that they burn down ALL the soy. By enjoying soy candles in your household we are helping farmers across the nation and making a healthier choice.

Happy Candling?
Jenn
