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!

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?

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.

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
