Hello, cozy souls! If you’re reading this, chances are you’ve got one of our lovely Meraki Designs candles ready to bring warmth and magic to your space. (Yay!) But did you know that taking care of your candle can make it last longer, burn brighter, and smell even dreamier?

Why We’re in Love with Soy Wax Candles ✨

There’s something magical about lighting a candle, isn’t there? That soft, flickering glow. The gentle aroma that fills the room. It’s like an instant ticket to coziness. But here’s a little secret: not all candles are created equal! At Meraki Designs , we’re head over heels for soy wax candles , and today, we’re spilling all the reasons why they’ve stolen our hearts. πŸ•―πŸ’› 1. A Hug for the Planet 🌿 Did you know that soy wax is made from soybeans? That means it’s a renewable, plant-based resource—and totally biodegradable! Unlike paraffin candles (made from petroleum), soy wax is a much greener option. When you light a soy wax candle, you’re giving Mother Earth a big, warm hug. Isn’t that sweet? 2. Longer Burn, Longer Love πŸ’• Soy wax burns slower and cooler, which means your candle lasts longer. (More time to enjoy that dreamy scent? Yes, please!) It’s like having your favorite cozy movie night that just keeps going. 🍿✨ Plus, a longer burn means better value for your money—and we all ...
