Paige & Co.

"There are two ways of spreading light: to be the candle or the mirror that reflects it" (Edith Wharton).

Not too long ago, there was a girl who decided that she'd stop being the mirror. She wanted to share her own light with the world and she thought, why not make candles and sell them?! So she did just that. She learned and mastered the skill of candle-making and started a business.

Paige & Co. is a small business based in Trinidad and Tobago that takes pride in producing home and linen sprays and their main product of soy based candles. Soy based candles have a notably longer and cleaner burn than other candles, without any visible soot. Soy wax has various advantages over the paraffin wax that is used by many mass producers of similar products. Paraffin wax is a by-product of petroleum and is known for emitting harmful vapours while burning. However, soy wax is extracted from vegetables which is beneficial for you (the consumer) and the environment.

Fun Fact: The business' name is also the middle name of the owner! Minus the '& Co.' of course!

Just imagine you come home from a long, hard day at work and all you want to do is relax. A way to help you get into a relaxed mood quickly is by lighting a candle and breathing in the lovely scent that penetrates the air. According to Sleep.org, scent is a great tool for helping you sleep. Sleep.org also stated that some of the scents that make sleeping better include lavender, jasmine, vanilla or any scent that you love! And guess what? Paige & Co. has all these scents and much more for you to choose from so finding a scent that you love may be easier than you think!

Date Night: Staying In Vs. Going Out

This is a short one! Don't forget Valentines Day is soon! I hope you have a great one filled with lots of sweet things. Such a day was created to tempt persons like me to steer away from our diet but i'm stronger than that. You will not defeat me this year sugar! It's quite possible couples may have a date night to celebrate Valentines Day and the restaurants will be filled. If you're into waiting for a table and you like going out much, then do you boo. But I prefer staying in. Basic, but whatever. I just like the whole idea of ordering the same food from your favourite restaurant (that you would buy if you go out) and having it in the comfort of your own home. Put the food on some nice plates, light some candles, throw some rose petals on the table, play some romantic music and have a nice dinner. You see it in the movies all the time and I know it seems corny and cheesy but have you ever had cheesy popcorn? It's a great combo! Ha! I really have t...

An Open Letter to Myself.

Wow! It's been a minute since I last posted on this blog and I am terribly sad that it took me this long to get back to something I truly enjoy doing. This entire time I was freaking out thinking what should be my first post for when I return? I didn't know exactly what to post and little did I know that the answer was sitting in my inbox for over one year.... I'm glad I'm back, though. I see Blogger has made some upgrades and what not. Anyway, back to why I'm here today. I usually send myself emails. I'm not sure if one would consider that as talking to yourself, but quite frankly, that's needed from time to time. And even if I was doing it for a while, it was confirmed as seemingly or somewhat normal when Golda Lee Bruce announced that she does it all the time, LOL. Phew! Anyway, let me just share what I sent myself, maybe me speaking to me will help you have the conversation you need to have with yourself. The subject of my email was "You'll Mak...

Tutorial: DIY Emoji Piñata

I made a piñata for a family event and decided I should share the process with you guys! So here's a quick guide on how to make a piñata for yourself! Now I am by no means a professional DIYer, but at least I can say that I tried! You'll need: A pair of scissors Tape/ Glue Cardboard or any type of sturdy material for the piñata itself Treats/Goodies Tissue/Kite/Crepe Paper (any paper of your choice) Step 1: Prep Cut the cardboard into two circles and some strips for the sides. The size of the circles depends on how large you would like the piñata to be. Similarly for the strips, the length depends on the circle's size. You'd have to make sure that the strip/s can go around, just about the entire circle. You'll see why a little further down. Read on! Step 2: Making the Frame Now you'd have to tape up the strip for around the circle. A trick is to tape the cardboard strip up on the sides first (vertically) so that i...
