Join us at my Raw Candle Bar and learn how to make retail-ready Aromatherapy Candles for your business.  If you already have a pulse on the candle market, you know that wellness candles are the next big thing. Today’s health-conscious candle lover is seeking out candles (much like they do diffusers) to enhance their environment and their well-being (think Meditation Candles for homes and spas).  Our well-being has now become one of our top priorities, and we must always make sure it is taken care of properly. One way to do that, is by burning wellness candles in our living spaces.
