Self care days are so important for your wellbeing, and there is no better way than a spa day. It's recommended to have a self care day at least once a month, but you shouldn’t have to worry about breaking the bank every month to go to the spa. Instead have an at home spa day.
At Ebony and Ivory Candle Co. we provide everything you need to have a relaxing spa day without stressing about breaking your budget. Aromatherapy is an amazing method to destress. Smell receptors in the nose allow for certain scents to send signals to the brain and trigger the relaxation hormones. We have an assortment of scented soy candles that have those relaxing scents, but that's not all. At our store in Lethbridge Alberta and Medicine Hat Alberta we have bath bombs, clay bath soaks and masks, and mineral bath soaks. These items are available anywhere meaning you can have an at home spa day no matter where you are in, or out, of Canada.
It’s important to know which scents will trigger your body to go into relaxation mode when picking out a soy candle, bath bomb, or bath soak. Here are a couple of the best scents to put your feet up to.
Lavender
Lavender is well known for its stress relieving abilities. Lavender is amazing because it can invoke a calming sensation without sedating. It's scientifically proven that lavender antioxidants reduce the stress hormone. Our Amazing Grace soy candle is the perfect lavender candle with hints of cardamom and cedar. With little lavender buds sprinkled on top this candle is sure to put you into a bliss of relaxation.
Jasmine
Jasmine has an effective calming nature that helps reduce restlessness, insomnia, and irritability. Jasmine is a fragrance that will help put you into a deep sleep more effective than a sleeping pill. Our Dream On Soy candle is made with jasmine, lavender and vanilla. It is the perfect combination to put you in a relaxing state, and might put you to sleep.
Vanilla
If floral scents aren’t for you, vanilla is a great alternative to help you unwind. Vanilla’s fragrance can help slow down your heart rate, reduce blood pressure, and help with muscle tension. Chill’n Vanill’n is a beautiful scented soy candle that is a simple but effective way for you to chill out.
Citrus
Citrus is the perfect scent if you are feeling down and need a mood booster during your spa day. Citrus fruits such as oranges are filled with vitamin C which is proven to reduce stress and improve mood. Sicilian Citrus soy candle is a melange of orange peel, lemon peel, lemon, and mandarin blend to create a citrusy orange aroma, accompanied by vetiver and cedar green undertones. Bergamot and a hint of grapefruit make the fresh scent ideal for a Sicilian escape -- without leaving home!
