What's your Spaghetti Policy?

Today was eventful, I got some much needed things done with my animals and what not.. but lets talk about beeswax candles. There's a lot of information I didn't know about until recently.. but it all makes sense now. 

Paraffin (which most candles are made out of) is made from the sludge at the bottom of barrels of crude oil, which is then treated and bleached with benzene and other chemical solvents to ‘clean it up’ for use in candles” and “the soot, smoke, and chemical residue from ‘regular’ candles can stick to walls, ceilings, and ventilation ducts and gets re-circulated whenever the heating/cooling system is in action, exposing you to these pollutants even when the paraffin candles aren’t burning.

So how does beeswax candles help you? when beeswax burns it gives off negatively charged ions. Static electricity? The little dust particals that float around in the air? They only float around because they are positively charged. When beeswax burns, and the negative ions counteract the positive ones, all the dust falls out of the air, its that simple.

Big wig companies that have commercial air cleaners use the same technology, just not with beeswax candles. The beeswax candles that we make have an extremely long burning time, for a 2 oz candle it lasts about 8 hours.. compared to a regular votive candle only lasting 2 hours tops? and a tea light candle only lasts for about an 30 minutes to a hour, where our tea lights last about 2 hours.. and then if you include the fragrances and the oils that are put into the candles, the aromatherapy qualities of the candles just make them perfect for relaxing and enjoying life, which is what being hippie is all about =] and I can do it and not be sneezing because of dust and animal dander all the time.


I am deathly allergic to cats, and dogs, and anything with fur.. (which is probably why I love my reptiles so much" and burning these candles, the cat inside the house doesnt even bother me, i can even sit on the same couch as the cat lays and not be burdened with a stuffy/runny/scratchy nose all night. I can enjoy my Always Sunny with a smile.



Okay, so now you guys know a little bit more about beeswax, now.. I know that candles are expensive.. Look at Yankee Candle... 27.99 dollars for one of those big ones, that are made out of paraffin wax?  ours is 27.00 and made from beeswax, that still smells awesome. Give us a break here, yeah yeah we don't have nearly as many fragrances, but stick with us and we will sooner than you know.


Anyways, I just looked up the actual definition of hippie.. and woah. I don't exactly like this one, I was under the impression that a hippie was just a person devoted to nature and peace and love for all? Even if some of them used hard drugs (nothing that grows from Nature's green earth is a drug.)

Look at this...

hip·pie
ˈhipē/
noun
  1. 1.
    (especially in the 1960s) a person of unconventional appearance, typically having long hair and wearing beads, associated with a subculture involving a rejection of conventional values and the taking of hallucinogenic drugs.
    synonyms:flower childBohemianbeatnik, long-hair, free spiritnonconformist,dropout
    "yesterday's hippies are today's ad execs"







Seriously? They werent all like that.. at least I'm not. I guess instead I should call myself a free spirit? Maybe that is better lol Just read an article about humanism.. that's pretty interesting as well, but another story another time I guess. Goodnight Folks.
