As you know, I am a candle maker, but an obsessed candle buyer too! And when the candle is fully burned & ends up, I result to stock a lot of empty candle jars & containers that I just can’t bring myself to throw away. I’m going to assume that you’ve purchased a few candles or received some lovely ones as a gift and now they are just languishing somewhere at the back of some cupboard because they brought you joy at some point and it just seems wasteful to toss them out. Is this a common sense?
When designing a new product, except for its main reason of use I also take into consideration its practicality! I want my products to give customers joy & offer long-lasting quality & versatility; products that work across multiple uses! But what do you do with candle jars when the candle is all but gone? Instead of tossing them in the trash, why not turn them into something handy? Ι love repurposing and reusing my old jars as well as empty candle containers but sometimes they pile up with me not being sure what to do with all of them. That’s why I thought it would be really helpful to create & share with you a list of incredible & practical ways on how to repurpose your empty candle jars. Stay with me & check out the list below!
UPDATE! We have new adds in our Soy Candles Collection!Check out the updated collection!
1. Store Your Nuts, Spices & Herbs Use empty candle jars as a nuts holder in your kitchen! Store your almonds or walnuts in a jar and leave it in your cupboard for easy access.

Bathroom Supplies Holder/ Storage When you candle is totally burnt and after removing the wax remnants, a smart way to reuse your candle holder is as an utensil for your cotton swabs, makeup remover pads etc. 3.

Vitamin E – or in the world of beauty a-tocopherol - is usually produced in a synthetic way but it can be also found widely in many natural products. Avocado, pumpkin & wheat germ oil are excellent sources of vitamin E for both external & internal use. In skincare, vitamin E is commonly found in an oily or cream form and more specifically in topical antioxidants or moisturizers.
SKIN BENEFITS FROM VITAMIN E
HOW YOU CAN USE VITAMIN E IN YOUR SKIN CARE TREATMENT
- If you have a scar or area you want to heal, pierce a vitamin E capsule & just apply the serum to the suffering area for a few weeks.
- Vitamin E is highly regarded for its wonderful antioxidant & its action against premature aging. In case you have sensitive skin, you can simply use it in small quantities. If you experience acne or redness, it may be a sign that your skin doesn’t tolerate it.
KEEP IN MIND that people with oily or acne prone skin should be careful on how they use Vitamin E. Too much quantity of it can cause acne breakouts.
BLOOMEY LOVES VITAMIN E
Bloomey do believe in the power & skin benefits of Vitamin E. For this reason, we have incorporated in a wide range of products, from face cleansers to body moisturizer.
In the above gallery you can discover some of them. Tap for details & discover more!
VITAMIN E: ECZEMA & PSORIASIS
Vitamin E can relieve dryness, itching and flaking associated with eczema or atopic dermatitis.
Study has already found that potable vitamin E supplements could improve significantly eczema symptoms. Although vitamin E oil has not been well studied in eczema treatment, it can improve the effectiveness of topical moisturizers.
Regarding to psoriasis, a study has also found that the topical use of vitamin E can help to psoriasis symptoms alleviation without any serious side effects. However, the effects of vitamin E on psoriasis are not as good as most treatments available. Vitamin E oil can be a good choice for people who want to avoid prescription drugs and who have mild psoriasis.

6/10/2020
What does relaxation really mean & how a cozy place looks like for you?
Whether it’s reading a book, checking Instagram or just staring off into space while sipping a cup of tea, sinking into a sofa in a cozy place just seems to melt the day away. Taking the time to relax and just BE in an inviting space, calms the nerves and allows you to regroup.
Creating a cozy space doesn’t mean overhauling your place or doing any kind of renovation. You can easily add small touches to your living or work space to make it feel warmer & more inviting.
Now t's the perfect chance to revamp your space! Do small steps of wellness by keeping your home freshly scented with safety!
Did you know?
Scents have the power of creating a calm space at home! Being at peace in a relaxing environment is really important in order to be happy & productive!
Personally, each time I feel that I am overwhelmed or stressed out when being in a certain space, I take a look at my environment. A cluttered space with stuff we usually don’t need or use, make us feel anxious & not at ease.
Are you in need of creating a calm environment that brings you stress relief?
Some minimal, stylish & scentful elements can help you complete your home décor with the details that will turn your place into a work-from-home paradise & an oasis for relaxation!
Furthermore, don’t forget that…it’s all the little things that matter most in life!!
I highly recommend you incorporating scent notes into your home!
Fragrances promote wel-lbeing & boost emotional health. Scents also have the unique power to evoke vivid memories. A whiff of a familiar scent instantly zaps you to another place or time!
Is that feeling familiar to you?
There are many ways to use scents to create a cozy place to live, work & relax! Using an eco-friendly diffuser is one of my favorite -and safe- ways to scent the room and bring relaxing vibes!
Reed diffusers are a simple & decorative way to fragrance your home in a sophisticated style. They are now an accessory trend for home, office or any other living space. Bamboo stick diffusers are the perfect way to subtly scent your place for approximately 1,5-2 months.
"All it takes is... one scent to bring back a thousand memories!
ReFILL your home fragrance

10 Things I Did During My Quarantine Life & I Will Surely Stay Stuck With Them After The Pandemic
5/6/2020
Quarantine Ritual: My ways to make the stay-at-home challenge more pleasant!
Putting things in order -sometimes like waiting for guests-, was something that really filled me with joy & made me proud of myself to see my place well organized!
Organizing my space & decluttering it from things I don't need or use is a spimple activity that not only helped me to fill out my day but also kept my psychology in a good mood!
When we get rid of things we don't need ot change the way or the position of some things, we help our home to become more functional either for working or relaxing!
2. Journaling
With so much time available while being in social distancing, I believe that each of us could write the story of their life! However, I just started with a simple gratitude list! It may sound a little bit strange, but you will be surpised how many things come in mind every day, for which we can be grateful for! You will see that day by day this list will become longer & longer!
And in case you are one of the lucky ones who live in the countryside or have a garden or balcony, take advantage of it by journaling under the sunlight or blowing air. A nice scenery can make the process more revitalizing & inspirational!
3. Creative Self Expression-Drawing
Sketching or drawing something very small without that meaning it has to be a masterpiece, is a really relaxing activity. It helps the mind not only to concentrate but also to get rid of useless thoughts.
I foubd this activity very interesting & a good way to help myself to live in the moment and not to be be distracted by thinking the past or future.
4. Cooking
Personally speaking, my desire for snacks beame more frequent during quarantine, that made kitchen even more busy! However, during all this period I grab the opportunity to create healthier meals & get inspired by some new gastronomic ideas! I truly believe that taking care of our diet with homemade and healthy cooked meals, is a sign of self-care!
One of my favorite parts of a typical quarantined day was combining the creative process of cooking with my favorite music in playlists, as it was the detail that took the whole experience to the next level!!
Tip: Enjoying a meal-especially lunch which is one of the most imporant meals during the day- without any distractions from electronic device (TV, laptop, smartphone etc.), really helps to concentrate to the process & enjoy it to the full.
5. Movies
Netflix on fire & movie nights at home!
Just by googling for the top 10 movies of the last 5 years & I discovered movies I've never noticed. Some other nights, I decided to watch again some of my favorites to laugh, be comforted and forget the hard time we all globally face.
6. Self Pampering
Put on your skin products that foster wellness & smell great! Clearly the smell of a skincare product plays an important role, as it is what makes us feel good!
7. Stretching
Inevitably, our life during quarantine became more sedentary than ever!
A simple way to calm my body & relax was stretching on the floor while listening to my favorite playlist! The whole process really let my mind travel through the music & bossted my wellbeing status!
8. Meditation
Another way to help body & mind to calm down, is to maditate.
The more we detox from screens and devote time to our personal well-being and relaxation, the better psychology we have! A candle or a reed diffuser with scent notes of our taste can really upgrade the experience!
A great app I recently discovered & helped me to meditate during quarantine, is called "Insight Timer", where you can discover a whole library of meditation sessions! It really worths downloading!
9. Communication
What I also marked as significant during my quarantine life, is communication with my loved ones-friends & family! Whether by video call or just a simple phone-call, once a day or more, this is something I tried to do more consciously than before! Although I'm not a phone-type person, these days of social distancing I used technology even more, as I don't think it makes sense to just send a typical SMS to a friend to get information about what's going on, how do you do etc
I realized how important it is to feel closer & together with your beloved ones in hard times like this.
10. Book Reading
I found the time to clear up my bookcase & discover some "diamond" books I didn't have the time to read before! I have an obsession to self-improvement books!! Quarantine was the perfect chance to do it!
Book reading not only helps the mind to escape from reality but it is also a source of knowledge & inspiration! It is good to try to incorporate again this habit into our daily life. At the beginning, you may not be able to concentrate & manage to read no more than 4-5 pages, but day by day you will get used to it & you will get captivated from the reading experience!
Keep on feeding your mind & soul!
