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.

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...

Dear Wanderlust, The Series Continues

" Travel makes you modest. You see what a tiny place you occupy in the world, " - Gustav Flaubert. Dear Wanderlust, The series continues....... Meet Kelsey and her beautiful daughter! Last time your eyes were glued to this blog, you read about a daring, young woman who gave her life wings and travelled all the way to Spain from a tiny speck on the world map, known as Trinidad. Now moving there on your own is a whole experience in itself, but what if you moved with your immediate family too? Would that make you feel less homesick with them there? Let's find out in this interview with Kelsey, who moved to Vietnam - from Trinidad - with her family. Yes, you read that correctly. V I E T N A M. 1. Location: Q. Where are you from originally and where did you move to? A. I was born and raised on the beautiful island of Trinidad and Tobago. As far as places to be born, T&T is as good as it gets. However, for a year now, my family and I have...

Just Snap Out Of It

"What's on your mind?" That's the infamous Facebook prompter for users to update their status. But, what's really on your mind? Would Facebook - and all who follow you - really like to know what's on your mind? If you haven't guessed it already, this post is about mental health. I know, it's early in a New Year and this is a heavy topic but it must be talked about. My little random blog is probably not going to make such a drastic change in the world but i'll be sure to discuss real issues and somehow influence you guys in some way to feel comfortable enough to share your thoughts with someone. It's healthy - contrary to the way we were raised, right? In some way, speaking about how you felt was taboo. I remember my first panic attack. I was seventeen and in a classroom on my laptop. We didn't have a scheduled class at that time, so I think I was playing a game. All my classmates were in their worlds doing whatever and I just ...
