Youth Sports and Academic Fundraising

Are you tired of those wrapping paper fundraisers or the fundraiser that has lots of gadgets you don’t really need?  Do you know of any organization or individual looking to raise some money for a good cause?  This could be a person who wants to go  on a special trip like one from the People to People Ambassador Programs.  It could be a scouting organization, a youth group, a school, or just about anything.  Are your children trying to raise money for that band trip or a trip to a big sporting event?

I know what it is like having 2 kids of my own that are always needing money for this fundraiser or that. Whether it is for school, swimming, or baseball one organization or another wants my money.

Well, we can help!  We do fundraisers with all natural soy candles.  They make great gifts.  They are great to burn in your home without any soot or toxins.  They burn cleaner and cooler than paraffin candles.  They wipe up with soap and water and they burn up to 50% longer than paraffin candles.  A 10 ounce canlde can burn up to 70 hours.  That is a lot of  burning pleasure for your hard earned money.

NVSoy™ vs. Paraffin Wax Candles

Did you know that paraffin that is in most candles consumed by 98% of households and candle consumers is a by product of the oil industry?  Paraffin is from the sludge at the bottom of the barrel of oil.  Chemicals and bleach are added to this sludge and then fragrance and a wick are added to call it a candle.  Since paraffin is from oil that is why you see all that black soot on your candle jar and in and around the areas of your home where you burn paraffin candles.  Smoke from the paraffin candles even stains cloth and clothes.  Paraffin candles are the number one cause of indoor air pollution.  Studies have shown that lighting a paraffin candle is like starting a diesel engine in your home.  YUK!!!

 

Do you want to continue to support the oil industry when you could GO GREEN and support the American farmers?  NVSoy™ Wax (Natural Vegetable Soy) is an all natural product that is biodegradable and a renewable resource.  Candles made with NVSoy™ burns much cooler than paraffin candles; therefore, it burns up to 50% longer.    NVSoy™ is non-toxic and does not emit any carcinogens or black soot.  NVSoy™ candles burn completely so you can even recycle the jar easily.  Also, if you spill an NVSoy candle it wipes up easily with a paper towel and if necessary with soap and water.  Finally, NVSoy™ wax releases fragrances naturally, faster and longer so these candles smell great and you can smell the fragrance for the entire burn of the candle.

 

With all these facts, why would you want to burn another paraffin candle when you can burn a healthy alternative that is safe for you, your family, your pets, and the environment?  Switch today and burn a healthy NVSoy™ candle!  You will be glad you did.

5 Building Blocks of the Container Fill Candle

The five building blocks for a container fill candle are as follows:

#1 – Wax, #2 – Wick, #3 – Fragrance Oils, #4 – Color, #5 – Container

Each of these ingredients makes up the container candle and they are all very important.  You can read about each building block in its own blog.  The most important building block is the wax.  We have found that CandleWealth’s NVSoy™ is a terrific wax and probably the best on the market.  As distributors of CandleWealth we also have a research and development company at our disposal to help us with our home candle businesses.  If you want to learn more feel free to contact me.

Building Blocks of a Container Fill Candle – #1

Believe it or not, the wax you use is the most important building block of a container candle. You will find that Soy Wax is much more forgiving and easy to use. CandleWealth’s NVSoy™ wax has made making candles at home easier. Paraffin wax is more difficult. All soy waxes, though, are not the same. 100% soy wax is not ideal for candle making because is can crack when it cools, and syneresis occurs more in 100% soy wax. Syneresis is when the fragrance sweats at the top of the candle. Soy blends work better (soy and other natural vegetable mixed), but some companies blend soy wax and paraffin. If clean burning is important to you, look for all natural soy wax blends. NVSoy™ wax is a natural vegetable soy that is easy to use and allows the fragrance to throw better all the way to the bottom of your candle.

Building Blocks of a Container Fill Candle – #2

The second building block of a container candle is the wick. Wick choice for your candle is another very important consideration. The size of the wick is not determined by the height of your candle, but by the width of the container. The rule of thumb is the wider the container, the thicker the wick.

Thin wicks absorb less liquid wax, therefore produce less vapor fuel and a smaller flame. A thicker wick absorbs more wax and produces a larger flame. This becomes important when your container is wide. A larger flame produces a more even burn circle out towards the edge of the wide container.

When you purchase your wicks, they should be marked with the recommended container size. If they are not, compare the options that you can find. Containers in excess of 3.5 inches should have the thickest wicks. Containers between 2.5 inches and 3.5 inches should have a medium sized wick. And, jars less than 2″ need only the thinner wicks. Of course, it doesn’t hurt to have thicker wicks in smaller jars, but they will burn off the wax more quickly.

No matter what container or wick size you choose, it is also very important to center the wick as perfectly as possible. CandleWealth provides a measured “target”. I place the candle (this works best with glass jars) on the target so that the perimeter of the candle matches one of the rings. The center dot in the target then matches the exact center of the jar. This is more accurate that eyeballing it. Then, use a popcicle stick with a small hole in the center to hold the wick while you pour and while the wax cures.

Building Blocks of a Container Fill Candle – #3

The third building block of a container fill candle is the fragrance. Most of us burn candles because they smell good, so it is very important to use a quality fragrance oil. There are thousands of raw materials available to make fragrances. Different oils burn differently. The key in fragrance oils is that the materials work well together. Fragrance oil selection is critical to get a candle to burn properly. No two fragrance oils ever burn the same. The fragrance oil determines how the wick and the wax perform together. Carrier is an ingredient in the fragrance oil that helps the oil to solidify and blend into the wax more efficiently. If the manufacturer uses a carrier of lesser quality, then the blend and burn performance of the wax and wick is directly and negatively affected. If you notice a big price difference in certain fragrances, the type of carrier used may be of lesser quality in the cheaper formula.
