Yesterday, I was at ResCare Industries getting information for an article that’s going to run in Friday’s paper.
The article will be about the kinds of things the persons served there make. One of the things they make are candles — although when I was out there Tuesday they weren’t making candles, but I had the opportunity to sniff a few of the scents. The line is called Radiant Light Candles.
My favorite scent they make is the cinnamon. I haven’t smelled all the scents, but I really like this one. The photo shows it burning after I took it back to the office. The nice lady at ResCare gave me this candle, which sells for $2. I think that’s a very reasonable price.
The scent reminds me of cinnamon gum. I really like it. I burned it at work yesterday and received positive comments from people walking past my desk.
With the scent, I detect some fruity, minty and floral undertones, as well as the cinnamon.
Other scents they have that appeal to me include Apple Struedel and Lavender. They also offer Vanilla, Grapefruit, Ocean, Black-Cherry, Blueberry, Cucumber Melon and Strawberry Cheesecake. Their brochure says other scents are available upon request. People also can bring in their own containers to get them filled for 90 cents per ounce, and people can get a discount for bringing their candles back to ResCare for refills.
“Will make just about any candle you desire,” the brochure said.
While there, I sniffed the Cucumber Melon scent, which smelled fresh and clean.
Candles can be purchased at Peace Connections in downtown Newton or at the main ResCare office at 700 E. 14th.
The candles are made from soy wax and have lead-free wicks. The candle I burned had a very nice wax pool after a while. I’d recommend purchasing these candles, especially since they benefit a local organization and smell and burn great.
Until next time, happy quilting!
