Who doesn’t like the smell of a scented candle?
With the holiday season coming up, candles make a great gift and can be a great way to make a home smell like the holidays.
November 1 is International Scented Candle Day, and three Dracut businesses can fulfill your candle cravings. Tell them Dracut Economic Development sent you.
Cloverland Home is a sustainable and vegan-friendly online shop founded by Laura Gaudette out of her Pleasant Street home. She comes up with the scents, and they are poured by professional candle makers on the West Coast.
You can choose from four categories of scents: floral, fresh, amber and woods. All are made from coconut and soy wax. Visit www.cloverlandhome.com to check out what Cloverland Homes has to offer and to place your order.
Moonlight and Mindfulness is a storefront that opened this year in the Beaver Brook Mill, 91 Mill Street, Unit 7. It’s not just candles, as Moonlight and Mindfulness offers metaphysical and holistic healing products and services, meditation and yoga.
Owners Nikki and Tyler Rutledge believe candles are an important step on the path to wellness. Their candles are made from soy wax and are carcinogen-free. They also hold candle-making classes so you can do it yourself. Visit www.moonlightmindfulness.com.
Red’s Apothecary is run by Adrienne “Red” Levesque out of her Primrose Hill Road home. Red’s candles are made and poured by her from all-natural soy wax, and the names of the scents make sense. (As her website says, “who actually knows what a Midsummer’s Night Dream smell like?”)
You can find Red’s candles at Brox Farm and Lupine Designs in Dracut, or you can visit www.redsapothecary.org.
Wax on!
