The environmental benefits of soy candles are that you will not have the strong smell of soot or walls covered with a film of soot. The candles burn cleaner and are not toxic. The paraffin wax candles can cause toxicants in the air if you burn too many at a time. The soy candles have ninety percent less soot. If you have breathing, problems the soy candles are better for your lungs.

Another benefit of soy candles is that they burn longer than most wax candles. It is possible for a soy candle to burn three times longer than a wax candle. The scent is also stronger with a soy candle than it is with the wax candles. The benefits of soy candles will benefit you more than a wax candle will.

The brushes that come with the starter kit are designed to spread the minerals over the face without clumping or rubbing. Depending on the kit, after purchasing mineral makeup starter kit, you may not need to buy brushes again. When you run out of the mineral makeup, you can just buy refills without the brushes.

There are many different companies that sell the starter kits, but you have to choose the one that is all mineral makeup and look for no fillers. You want the makeup to be pure to be beneficial. Some manufacturers offer starter kits that are not all pure makeup and they do not supply the right type of brushes that are specially made for mineral makeup applications.

Protecting your skin from the sun’s harmful rays is important during summer time. Most people spend more time out in the sun during the summer months, which means your face is exposed to more of the sun. The sun can have damaging effects on your skin. It can cause age spots, wrinkles, and worst of all skin cancer. Your face is the number one are of your body that is exposed to the most amount of sun. This is why it is important that you wear SPF on your face to protect your skin. One the best options for summertime is wear mineral makeup that has SPF in it.

Mineral makeups are quite popular nowadays as they offer great coverage but are all natural, so you don’t have to worry about added chemicals on your skin. Whatever is put on your skin, your body absorbs and that it true for makeup. If you were to put a normal foundation on your face that contains oils and fats and extra chemicals, your body is going to take in those oils and fats along with the extra chemicals. Instead of having those foreign substances being absorbed by your skin, you can wear all natural mineral makeup.

For summer it is really important that you wear makeup that has SPF in it. Some people think just because they are wearing makeup, their skin is protected from the skin, but this is absolutely not true. You still need to have a product that has SPF to get protection from the sun. Mineral makeup with SPF offers a great solution to having natural ingredients on your skin along with protection from the sun. Instead of having to put on SPF lotion, which could actually irritate your face, and then makeup, you can simply wear only your makeup with SPF. It saves you both time and money.

Protect your skin from the sun and get all natural coverage with mineral makeup with SPF. It is a essential for any woman’s beauty routine.

Mineralicious! has sun protection, but no SPF rating. Our Matte foundation holds the most sun protection of all the foundations without leaving your skin feeling heavy and greasy.

Reading a Book
Some people find that simply laying out in the sun enjoying a good book is the way to go. If this sounds like something that you would enjoy, then be sure to schedule a day with your family in which you take time and you enjoy your book while basking in the sun. If you don’t enjoy the sun, then find a nice, cool shady spot somewhere in your yard or even at your local park.

Pedicures
There are several kits nowadays that allow you to give yourself a home pedicure for about half the price it would cost at your local day spa. Even if you don’t have a pedicure kit, you can still give yourself a professional pedicure with a file brush, foot and cuticle cream, and nail polish. You can even have a little pedicure party with a few girlfriends in which you enjoy some drinks outside and give each other pedicures.

Catered Lunch or Picnic
When you hear a catered lunch, you may think it cost a lot of money, but catering is very proud term. Catering could mean going to your local sub shop and getting a few sub sandwiches or having getting a big salad and bread sticks from you favorite pizza place or Italian restaurant. These are cheap options for lunch and best of all you don’t have to make anything. Invite a few close girlfriends over and have a picnic in your yard or at the park. Gives you time to catch up on gossip and enjoy a nice lunch.

Every one deserves a little pampering every once in awhile. This is especially true for moms who may have to deal with the kids being home from school in summer, as they need the time away to focus on themselves.

I ordered 2 jar candles. 1 in snickerdoodle and the other banana bread. Now I am not a fan of banana stuff, so I was a little leery of that choice. But I let me daughter help choose the scents. lol

Snickerdoodle tends to be a scent I go with for many companies to give a try. It gives me a stock scent to compare. I have to say that this one held up pretty well. To be fair, it is Summer and there are so many windows. It’s not like during the Winter when the house is in lockdown. So, it’s really hard for me to compare the scent throw. But I do have the last of it burning right now and I can smell it behind the scenes so that is a very good thing with the house wide open tonight. The scent is nice and mellow like snickerdoodle should be. Not overpowering at all. But still a decent scent throw. The scent is not a cheap scent either. It’s quality oils and wax that I am smelling.

The banana didn’t have a very strong scent throw I have to say. I burned that in the kids bathroom so it was a small room that should have been totally stunk up with it. But not so much. It did have a nice mellow scent, but not the powerful one I expected upon opening the lid of the candle.

Now Tamara also included a tart with my order and I’m afraid I forgot what the scent is. Which really is annoying because I want to order it now. The tart blew both the candles out of the water for scent throw. I don’t know that I’ve ever melted a tart that was so powerful with scent. I LOVED IT!

All said and done. I will order from Homespun Hearts Grubby and Prim Candles again. Between the awesome customer service, fast order delivery and quality products I’m looking forward to trying some other scents. I’m really dieing to try out the cookie tarts. They are very cute and I know I’m probably just a pyro-weirdo, but it’s cool to watch the fake food stuff melt down.

Happy Mother’s Day from Moms Indulgence!
