As the leaves change and a crispness fills the air, one scent captivates our senses and transports us to the cozy embrace of autumn with the warm and comforting aroma of pumpkin. Luxe Intuition, a renowned brand in the world of luxury candles, has harnessed the essence of fall with its exquisite collection of limited-edition fall candles kissed with the perfect touch of pumpkin scent. These handcrafted creations, infused with the finest ingredients and thoughtfully designed, offer an unparalleled sensory experience that evokes the season's spirit. Let's delve into the captivating world of Fall pumpkins and how to embrace their magic this season. 

Embracing the Power of Pumpkin

The allure of pumpkin extends far beyond its use in candles. Pumpkins have long been associated with the fall season, evoking nostalgia, warmth, and celebration. Luxe Intuition understands the power of this beloved gourd and harnesses its essence to create candles that capture the spirit of autumn.

The Symbolism of Pumpkins in Fall

Pumpkins hold a special place in the hearts of many during the fall season. They symbolize abundance, harvest, and the cozy comforts of home. Pumpkins have become integral to our fall traditions, from cooking and carving to decorating and sipping pumpkin spice lattes. Luxe Intuition celebrates this symbolism by infusing its candles with the captivating fragrance of pumpkin, allowing us to embrace the spirit of the season in a truly immersive way.

The Journey of Pumpkins: From Native American Cultivation to Fall Icon

The history of pumpkins in North America dates back thousands of years, long before the arrival of European settlers. Native Americans were cultivating pumpkins before beans or corn even came into play. They found every possible pumpkin use, from boiling and roasting them to using them as containers. Pumpkins became a staple in their diet and held significant cultural importance.

European explorers encountered this vibrant orange fruit when they arrived in North America. French explorer Jacques Cartier described them as "gros melons," which eventually evolved into "pompions." Over time, the word transformed into "pumpkin," the name we know today. Pumpkins have been ingrained in American culture and cherished ever since.

Pumpkins: From Rural Nostalgia to Urban Comfort

As society transitioned from rural to urban living, pumpkins remained associated with the rural lifestyle. Farmers used pumpkins to feed livestock, and their presence on the farm reminded city dwellers of a simpler time. The nostalgia for farming steadily grew and made its way into cookbooks, where the first recipe for pumpkin pie was published in the 1796 cookbook "American Cookery." Pumpkin pie became associated with the North and took on symbolic meaning for strong abolitionist women, representing the strength of farmers and Northern ideals.

Today, pumpkins are unique in our hearts and homes during fall. We decorate our homes with pumpkins, design menus around them, and indulge in pumpkin-spiced treats. Luxe Intuition's pumpkin-scented candles capture the magic and essence of this beloved gourd, allowing us to celebrate the season and create a warm and inviting atmosphere in our spaces.

Elevate Your Fall Decor: Creative Ways to Decorate with Pumpkins

In addition to Luxe Intuition's exquisite candles, there are countless creative ways to incorporate pumpkins into your fall decor. Explore some ideas beyond the traditional Jack-O-Lantern and orange pumpkin arrangement, transforming your indoor and outdoor spaces into autumnal havens.

Put a whimsical twist on your pumpkin decor by carving owl pumpkins or transform your pumpkins into enchanting votives by carving out space for tea lights. You can float pumpkin votives in water or scatter them around to create a mesmerizing fall ambiance.  Light the way with stacked pumpkin hurricanes or make a bountiful centerpiece.

It’s no secret that candles help set the mood for a sensual and romantic evening.

Candles can be incredibly useful when it comes to creating an intimate, romantic ambiance. From the twinkle of the flame to the pleasant warmth they generate, these fixtures can be seen in many romantic films and restaurants.

Humans are very sensitive to changes in light, and the human circadian rhythm can be affected by these changes. Low light can help us relax and make us feel more comfortable in our environment, which is ideal for creating a romantic atmosphere. Candles can be a great addition to a dinner date, as they provide just the right amount of light to focus on the food and the other person, while still dimming any distractions from the surrounding area.

What Role Does Scent Play?

Candles may not give off a great deal of heat, yet they can still generate a sense of warmth. The allure of candlelight combined with a powerful aroma makes for the ideal environment for romance. It's not only the glimmer of a candle that plays a role in producing a romantic atmosphere; the scent of the candle also works to tap into humans' emotional depths. We are typically drawn to smells that evoke certain emotions in us, so if a candle has a special scent, it will likely help to establish a romantic setting.

If you are using a fragrant candle during a romantic dinner, be sure that it won't overpower the smell of the food. Therefore, it might be better to choose a lighter scent such as our Eunoia Candle or The Sophisticate Candle. Scented candles don't just need to be utilized for romantic meals. You can give your partner or date a calming massage with a scented candle lit in the background or help them relax after a hard day with a candle-lit bath.

What Romantic Candles Should You Choose?

Choosing candles to set the mood for a romantic evening should be an enjoyable experience. When selecting the best candles, it’s important to consider options such as wooden wick candles, vegan candles, and those that are toxin free.  Wooden wicks produce a gentle crackle sound and can be used with any type of wax, while our exclusive coconut | apricot wax blend creates a healthier & longer burning candle experience than most candle waxes on the market.

Luxe Intuition wooden wick candles offer a variety of luxuriously elegant and custom blended vegan friendly scents to choose from that will add an extra touch of romance to the entire experience. With so many options available, you can easily find the perfect candle to make your special night even more romantic. Check out our selection of carefully curated romantic scents that will inspire you HERE.

Best Ways to Relieve Stress

Hello weary traveler, we’re so glad that you are here! Today, we have one goal: to provide you with the necessary information to help ease your worries and put a smile back on your lovely face.

It goes without saying that the years 2020 and 2021 have been tough on all of us. Indeed, these trying times have proven chaotic, scary, and uncertain. And to make matters worse, we’ve recently undergone the added stresses of the holidays. If you’ve found yourself carrying the weight of the world on your shoulders, you’re not alone. We all go through it, especially with everything that is expected of us on a daily basis. Luckily, you don’t have to feel powerless over stress any longer. There are unlimited activities and techniques that are proven to thwart those negative vibes and empower you to take back control of your life. Oftentimes, we simply accept discomfort rather than look for ways to rise above it. While it’s perfectly okay to sit in your feelings for a short while, you must not let your spirit stay broken. There’s too much beauty to be seen, too many wonderful memories to be made, and far too little time for do-overs. So, let’s take a deep breath - inhale, exhale - and get into the best ways you can begin relieving your stress. What better moment to initiate your transformation than now? With 2022 just beyond the horizon, this New Year can be the start of a new you!

Meditate

Meditation tends to be the first thing people think of when they contemplate how to curb their stress, but it’s often considered intimidating for new beginners. Why is that? A lot of the anxieties associated with meditation stem from our inability to shut our brains off. We spend most of our energy worrying about bills that need to be paid, about that overdue work assignment, or about our significant others and children. Have you ever tried transcending to a state of tranquility when you have your afternoon conference calls stewing in the back of your mind? It’s no easy feat! Being a newb to meditation might be unnerving, but we can assure you that, once you get the hang of it, you will be hooked. Meditation not only reduces stress and symptoms of stress-related conditions, but also increases your attention span and lowers your blood pressure. Once more, a fantastic perk is that you aren’t expected to figure it out by yourself! As a matter of fact, there are thousands of online instructors who generously post simple to follow guided meditations. We understand how challenging it can be to find a few minutes to break away from the daily hustle, but the relief you will find will be well worth it. Send the kids out to the movies, load your go-to ambient playlist, light a candle, and permit yourself to disconnect from the many troubles you wrestle with day in and day out. You never know, you might even learn something new about yourself!

Journal

Another great approach to reduce stress and tension is by journaling. Journaling is a powerful stimulant that drives creativity and allows us to document, put into perspective, and even reshape our experiences. While some people use their journals to express every fine detail of their day, others use the blank pages to compose meaningful poetry or write fictional stories. What’s truly astounding about journaling is that it doesn’t matter whether the content you are writing is a brilliant masterpiece or not. What actually matters is the ingenuity, expressiveness, and artistry you channel from within yourself as you drift off and find comfort in your writing. Nobody expects you to write a Shakespearian sonnet or be the next Stephen King. Nobody expects anything because the journal is your realm; your very own hidden oasis to blow off steam, ignite your imagination, and be your true self without fear of judgment. Journaling has been associated with increased memory retention, creative stimulation, and has even been shown to exercise and coordinate the brain’s hemispheres. There’s nothing more liberating than jotting down all of your thoughts after a hard, tiring day, specifically in a safe space that is yours and only yours. It isn’t healthy to keep all of that anxiety or worry bottled up. Honestly, if you want to shake that stress, grab a pen, gather some paper, and allow yourself to become a tiny bit unhinged!

Exercise

If meditation is too difficult and journaling isn’t quite your thing, we recommend turning to some good ol’ fashioned exercise to put that stress in its place. Whether you decide to practice yoga, lift heavy weights, go for a jog, or spend your morning swimming laps at the recreation center, exercise has been proven to reduce stress and any risk for depression by releasing endorphins and dopamine through your body. Everyone has heard of the “runner’s high”, but have you tried it for yourself? There is a weightlessness and freedom, very similar to meditation, that can be achieved when we focus solely on the exercises we are performing. In that perfect instance of sheer intensity, nothing else matters in the universe. By working out our muscles and forcing ourselves to focus on other things, such as our breathing, we tend to forget about the problems that caused us stress in the first place. As humans, we love to spend every waking moment overthinking and overanalyzing, but it’s crucial to take a break and let your mind steer on auto-pilot. Rome wasn’t built in a day, so you shouldn’t expect yourself to solve all of your problems in one workout. Exercise primarily gives us an excuse to stop obsessing and instead focus on something more beneficial. Besides, who is going to complain about toned abs and tighter buns as a result?

Eat Healthier

This may come as a surprise to some people, but eating healthy has been proven to alleviate stress and even improve mental cognition. Now, we know how delicious chocolate covered peanuts, fried chicken, and caramel popcorn are! We would never dream of taking all your favorite treats away from you, but it’s important to balance all of the junk food we eat with nutritious meals full of protein and vitamins. We get it: boiling water for a cup-o-ramen is effortless and only takes a few minutes, but having a diet consisting solely of salty or sweet items is only going to bury you deeper in your gloomy state of mind. It’s a sad but common misconception that eating junk food relieves stress. While yes, it is true that our brains release dopamine when we eat something we enjoy, those unhealthy foods we go cuckoo for ultimately make us more sluggish and irritable. Having a healthy, well-balanced diet not only makes our bodies happy, but it helps us think clearly and even improves our ability to concentrate. Choosing to eat healthy can be burdensome and inconvenient, especially during the holidays. We promise, however, that you will feel a lot better if you eat your veggies and fruits! Also, it is worth mentioning that turkey bacon really isn’t that bad. (We tried to make that sound as convincing as possible. Did it work?)

Light a Candle: A Luxe Intuition Candle

We could go on and on about countless complex methods of doing away with stress, but sometimes just sitting in silence with a lit candle nearby is all you need to ground yourself and find your inner-balance. Moreover, some candles are made with essential oils that have several healing properties. Utilizing the scents of candles to lower your anxiety and stress is considered a form of aromatherapy and is extraordinarily effective. At Luxe Intuition, we use high grade essential oils in our luxury wood wick candles. When you burn one of our candles, you aren’t just smelling something amazing, you’re experiencing something amazing. Take our Pure Luxe candle, for example: we infuse sweet notes of orange marmalade and honey with earthy aromas of tobacco and clove to create a well-rounded candle that livens up any environment. Additionally, we use cedar wood and fir needle essential oils to help diminish any pent-up stress that you have been dealing with. Another incredible candle for relieving stress is The Sophisticate. This sophisticated candle is handcrafted with notes of pear, mandarin, and patchouli. The Sophisticate contains bergamot and ylang ylang essential oils to relax the mind and boost creativity. As impossibly bizarre as it may seem, pushing free from stress can be as simple as lighting a candle, closing your eyes, focusing on the quiet crackling of the wick, and letting the essential oils work their divine magic.

You Are Worthy?

It isn’t always easy to admit that we are stressed, but that doesn’t mean you should continue to suffer in isolation. There are so many options for absolving stress out there, it’s just a matter of finding what works best for you.

Aromatherapy Candles: Essential Oils

It’s truly astounding how powerful and influential our sense of smell can be to our overall well being. When you’re bedridden with a nasty cold, there’s nothing that warms your soul like the smell of grandma’s chicken noodle soup wafting from the kitchen. How about when your chest feels as if there is a fiery war waging within it? The soothing scent and icy sensation of Vicks VapoRub will surely do the trick of providing you much needed relief. So, why does what we smell have such an effect on how we feel both physically and emotionally? The truth is that this phenomenon has been studied for thousands of years, and not only that, but we have figured out ways to use it to our advantage. Take for example, aromatherapy - aromatherapy has been utilized for many things, including therapeutic, cosmetic, and spiritual purposes, for more than 6,000 years!

Aromatherapy is a holistic practice that seeks to implement the healing properties of essential oils to improve your quality of life. In fact, using essential oils has a number of health and mood benefits for just about anyone. At Luxe Intuition, our passion is not only making sustainable, luxury candles and wax melts, but also providing you helpful information that could enrich your day to day. Life is wonderful, but can be frantic. With the constant madness of juggling a multitude of tasks, it’s important to find ways to take care of yourself! Remember, even Superman had a weakness. Whatever your Kryptonite is, you have no need to worry because feeling better and rejuvenated doesn’t have to come at a high price or take up much of your time. Actually, it can be as easy as applying an oil to your temple or better yet, lighting a candle! Aren’t you just bursting with excitement to learn more?! Now that we have your undivided attention, let’s delve further into aromatherapy and the essential oils that make aromatherapy such a hit.

What Puts the Essential in Essential Oils?

Aromatherapy refers to the application of essential oils through skin absorption and your sense of smell. Special body oils, creams, candles, and diffusers can be used to introduce the essential oils into your system, depending on what you are most comfortable using. Essential oils are compounds extracted from plants that capture the plant’s scent and flavor, each of which is unique to the plant’s aromatic essence. This is why eucalyptus essential oils smell and act differently than rosemary essential oils; the oils themselves are characteristic of the plant they were distilled from. The application of aromatherapy is increasingly instrumental to us because it uses the medicinal attributes of essential oils to relax and subdue discomfort. The emotional, mental, and physical prosperity of those who use aromatherapy tends to advance as they grow progressively accustomed to the essential oils they enjoy. The already vast universe of aromatherapy is only expanding. To date, there are more than 90 essential oils for you to choose from in order to find the best aromatic fit for your lifestyle!

With so many essential oils to choose from, it can be a bit overwhelming. Don’t panic! We can assure you that when you’ve finished reading this article, you will have a stronger understanding of essential oils and how they might be a solution to your particular situation. Like with any crucial decision, it’s always a great idea to do research beforehand, so allow us to be of service by highlighting some of our favorite essential oils and exploring their valuable effects:

• Lavender is one of the more popular and widely known essential oils. Most people use this subtle oil to relax and sleep, but lavender is equally useful in alleviating headaches.

• Rose is a saccharine, floral essential oil that has been shown to reduce anxiety. The rose essential oils contain antioxidants that treat acne, giving your face a younger look. Seriously, who doesn’t want to look younger? We bet the Kardashians have an endless supply of this beloved nectar of the gods.

• Ylang ylang offers a spicy and sweet aroma that has been associated with relaxation and confidence boosting. To boot, ylang ylang is found in a number of cosmetics and beauty products because of its gentle treatment of delicate skin and its positive effects on hair growth.

• Myrrh isn’t just one of the three gifts from the Wise Men. Most people use myrrh essential oils to combat acne and dry skin. It is likewise capable of treating that ever-elusive athlete’s foot, making it the ideal essential oil for the athlete always on the go!

• Cedarwood doesn’t just smell like a fancy log cabin tucked away in the magnificent mountains of Colorado. As a matter of fact, there are a number of beauty and health perks associated with cedarwood. Notably, it has the ability to fight acne, treat eczema, and even reduce the presence of dandruff. Cedarwood has been shown to diminish the effects of arthritis and relieve intense coughing bouts.

Essential oils do far more than smell absolutely breathtaking. As you can deduce, many essential oils have earned their fame and popularity by aiding countless people for centuries upon centuries. We all know about lavender because at one point or another, each of us has struggled with falling asleep and have needed to use it for a good night’s rest. No matter what generation you’re from, it’s highly likely you have heard mention of myrrh and frankincense, especially around the holidays. Aren’t you curious to see what all the fuss is about? Better yet, wouldn’t it be awesome to revamp how you feel daily and treat your nose to some sensational scents?

Psychology of Smell: The Power of Scent

Have you ever inhaled something lovely and wondered why it makes you feel so warm and fuzzy inside? If your answer is no, you’re not the only one. In fact, most people have never taken a moment to ponder, let alone explore how important our sense of smell is. The truth is that our sense of smell affects our mood and emotions just as much, if not more than any of our other senses. It’s easy to feel gratitude for the sensation of touch, the beauty of sight, the delight of taste, and the excitement that comes from hearing, but how often do we stop to appreciate the gift of scent? As bizarre as it may seem, our noses effectively determine how we observe and respond to the atmosphere and many sensations surrounding us.

After a long, sleepless night spent studying or tackling a big project, it’s the wafting scent of your morning coffee brewing that pulls you out of your zombie-like state. The bold, refreshing smell of your favorite blend somehow flips a switch in your mind and before you know it, you’re ready to take on the tasks ahead. When you’re wearing your preferred perfume or cologne, you may find yourself walking a little taller and speaking a little louder. Amazingly, giving off a pleasant scent not only boosts confidence, but can make you feel more attractive. What smell does to us, psychologically, is fascinating. How captivating is it that a single smell can change the course of your entire day or make you react in a particular way? Our noses acknowledge the lingering scent of newly blossomed flowers and rainfall, all the while reminding us of the beautiful aromas that compose our daily lives. We truly do not give our noses enough credit for filling our mundane routine with scented wonder and keeping us connected with what’s happening around us at any given moment. After reading this article, we hope you’ll reconsider the significance of that adorable, hard-working sniff engine on your face. We’ll also take you on a walk down memory lane with our finest Luxe Intuition candle and wax melt scent combinations. So without further delay, prepare to have your mind blown and your senses awoken!

Welcome to Our Olfactory Laboratory

The bright, zesty fragrance of a freshly peeled orange; the stiff bite of an oak-aged whisky; the sour plum of expired milk - upon the very mention of these various smells, they are recalled in your memory without hesitation. It’s as if you can even smell subtle traces of them now, but why is that? How are we able to distinguish and associate scent profiles with such ease when we have difficulty remembering the color of someone’s eyes? Our olfactory sense is an ancient evolutionary adaptation that, at one point, helped mankind to avoid eating things that might not taste good or, even worse, that could be poisonous. More so than our eyes, our noses have become our own miniature private investigators, toiling 24/7 to protect us from unsafe situations or immediate dangers. Imagine the trouble we would find ourselves in without our steadfast schnozzles! Think of all those instances when you’ve avoided an upset stomach by discarding that piece of spoiled cheese, and let’s not forget about dodging the disaster of a house fire after smelling incinerated food and rushing to turn the stove off. Hey, we’ve all been there!

              The psychology of smell is of the utmost importance because it reveals the relationship our nose has with the rest of our senses, as well as our capacity to create and preserve memories. Many psychologists and biologists agree that smell is the only fully developed sense a fetus has access to within the womb, so it makes sense that a child’s perception and understanding of the world around them is formed by their ability to smell. Picture it this way: when reminiscing about your childhood, you may not be able to make out certain details, such as how your mom always wore her hair. However, what will remain forever in your memory is the distinct, citrusy smell of Herbal Essence shampoo that brought you comfort every time she reached in for a hug. From the very beginning of our existence, our meticulous muzzles set out to shape our experiences, our awareness, and even our identities.

              So, what is it actually called when a smell triggers a memory? Why does the scent of chocolate chip cookies baking in the oven instantly transport you back to your grandma’s kitchen? There’s a technical term for this strange and extraordinary peculiarity: odor-evoked autobiographical memory, otherwise referred to as the Proust phenomenon. The Proust phenomenon, in layman's terms, takes place when a currently observed odor prompts the spontaneous recollection of a past event. Are you ready to fall even further down the rabbit hole? The amygdala and hippocampus are complex structures in our brain that respectively deal with both emotion and memory. When your nose picks up on any smell, that smell then travels directly to the amygdala and hippocampus. This magnificent song and dance allows for the scent to be stored in your brain as a memory, right along with a specific experience or emotion. Today’s lesson in neuroscience brought to you by your friendly neighborhood nerds!

              In addition to being the sense most closely associated with memory, smell is intimately coupled with our emotional sensibilities. You can’t deny that the way a person smells directly affects your initial opinion of them. For example, we want to snuggle a bit closer to someone who smells nice, but actively steer clear of individuals who seemingly haven’t bathed in weeks. If you’re getting major Oscar the Grouch living-in-a-trash-can vibes, same! Scientists and psychologists agree that pheromones, or body odor, subconsciously affect our attraction to one another. Surprisingly, the very act of kissing was once a process of intense sniffing to determine whether or not our partner’s smell was appealing. Who would have thought that our suspicious snoot could double as a match-maker?

Reignited, and It Smells so Good!

            At Luxe Intuition, we have enthusiastically researched and studied the psychology of smell. As a matter of fact, our deep, impassioned belief in the power of scent is the inspiration behind all of our handcrafted candles and wax melts. We use only the highest grade fragrance and essential oils to create complex aromas that are sure to embrace you with a sense of nostalgia. Every scented note has a purpose; every delicate tincture of aromatic bliss has been deliberately applied with love and care. Why do we put so much thought and attentiveness into our intricate small-batch blends? Well, the answer is simple: bringing you joy brings us joy. Our devotion to our craft is constantly evolving, just as our scent combinations are endlessly developing. Not only do our candles and wax melts smell amazing, but they are ethically made and responsibly sourced using coconut-apricot wax. Coconut-apricot wax is a healthier, more sustainable alternative to soy or paraffin wax, so you can have peace of mind that when you burn our candles in your home, you are not breathing in harmful, toxic chemicals. Now that we’ve given you a glimpse into our magical, candlelit universe, please join us as we highlight a couple of our custom, unique Luxe Intuition luxury fragrance blends.

Luxe Intuition Candles and Wax Melts - The Sophisticate

              The cool night breeze felt like a feather brushing against your skin, the stars were an ocean of glitter sparkling above, and you had just returned home from the most romantic evening you could have ever dreamt of. You often find yourself replaying in your mind the stunning bouquet of flowers you received, the candlelit dinner, and the delectable poached pear you shared for dessert. What better way to relive that cherished memory than with The Sophisticate? The Sophisticate candles and wax melts are a sophisticated fragrance fusion of fruits and exhilarating florals. The crisp aromas of yuzu, pear, and mandarin merge beautifully into the overtones of ylang ylang and plum blossom. With the finishing touches of hinoki, apricot wood, and patchouli, The Sophisticate is a floral-forward candle that is sure to take you back to that breathtaking date that you never want to forget.

Luxe Intuition Candles and Wax Melts - Pure Luxe

            Our Pure Luxe candles and wax melts are the epitome of pure luxury and decadence met with cozy and carefree. A perfect pairing of smokey and sweet, the tenderly crafted scent profile of Pure Luxe helps rekindle fond memories of you and your loved ones. Perhaps you’ll recount sitting beside your dad on the porch, talking for hours while he slowly sips on a glass of Maker’s Mark and puffs on a cigar. While indulging in this hand-poured scented treasure, you’ll find gentle tinges of orange marmalade, tamarind, and honey that flow effortlessly into the dynamic aromatics of bourbon, coumarin, and clove. Finally, you’ll be immersed in a bittersweet finale of brown sugar and tobacco. The next time you catch yourself missing your old man and getting to hear his wild stories, let Pure Luxe be the light that illuminates those distant, yet timeless precious moments.

A Memory Never Forgotten

            Wow, what an adventure we have gone on together: we nose-dived right into the psychology of smell, we did some sniffing around and discovered the power of scent, we even took a ride in the magic school bus to traverse the human brain and uncover the mystery of why smells are linked to our past. Sadly, our sense of smell tends to get no love, but we have learned that our noses are just as vital as any other part of our body. Indeed, our loyal conks warn us of incoming trouble, award us heightened experiences, and essentially allow us to travel back in time to revisit all the wonderful occasions that brought us such happiness. Enthralled by this curious phenomenon, we at Luxe Intuition strive to capture and offer alluring scent combinations, such as The Sophisticate and Pure Luxe. Made with only the best essential oils and fragrance blends, our wood wick candles and wax melts will take you on a peaceful journey through all those unforgettable memories that you hold near and dear to your heart. As we come to the end of this blog, we urge you to follow your intuition, find your enchantment, and pamper your senses with Luxe Intuition!

    Greetings, readers! As we venture into the month of November, many of you early bird holiday shoppers are already preparing your holiday gift list, maybe even checking it twice. With the festivities of Halloween coming to a creepy, crawly end and Thanksgiving just around the corner, getting a head start on all your holiday purchases is the best gift you can give yourself this year. If you’d rather be gobbled up by the abominable snowman than experience the terror of last-minute holiday shopping, you’re not the only one. What’s more, there’s probably a few people on your list that are particularly more difficult to shop for, due to their love for all things eco-friendly.

For your dapper gentleman, their Men’s Shave and Soothe Gift Set is an affordable and thoughtful purchase that includes shaving soap, coolness aftershave lotion, and knuckle balm.

     These eco-friendly and resource-efficient gift options are fantastic, but before you rush to grab your wrapping paper, scissors, and tape, let’s sniff out and uncover some other hidden gems for your holiday gift-giving endeavors. Our Luxe Intuition luxury wood wick candles and wax melts are the perfect gifts and just what you need to sleigh the season.

4 - Luxe Intuition Candles - Coastal Allure

     At Luxe Intuition, we offer an enchanting selection of ethically made artisan wood wick candles and natural wax melts. Our candles and wax melts are not only sustainable and environmentally friendly, but are handcrafted using the most luxurious ingredients. When it comes to choosing a gift that will ignite feelings of gratitude, candles are the way to go. We’d even wager that you’ll have more of a chance of spotting Santa Clause than coming across someone who doesn’t like candles. Now that we’ve covered how LIT candles are (yeah, we went there), we’ll introduce you to a couple of our in-shop favorites.

     Snowy days and winter wonderland displays are not for everyone. Others may not share in your excitement as the first snowflake of the year gently drifts from the opalescent sky. It never fails that, at the initial indication of frigid weather, several of your family members rush to book their yearly getaway to Hawaii. They long for nothing more than to dig their feet in the sand, sip on Mai Tais served with cute, little umbrellas, and breathe in the salty ocean air. Our Coastal Allure candle, with fragrance blends of lime, lotus coconut, and guaiac wood, is an aromatic recreation of an idle day at the beach. By gifting this island-inspired candle, your cherished relatives can escape to their tropical paradise right from their living room. Christmas in Hawaii never came so cheap!

5 - Luxe Intuition Candles - Moonlit Zen

     We all have that one friend who does it all: on top of working a nine to five job, they somehow manage to parent, coach the gymnastics team, and run a crochet club. From outward appearances, they may seem to have everything under control, but we can agree that everyone has a breaking point. Our Moonlit Zen candle will help your frantic friend transcend from chaos to a state of calm and relaxation. After a long, grueling day, they’ll be eager to retreat to their room, open a book, and indulge in the calming aromas of orange, magnolia, and anise. With hints of lemon, pine needle, and fir balsam, Moonlit Zen is also great for meditation, manifestation, and mindfulness. This holiday season, you can empower others by giving a gift that encourages them to slow down and be present in the moment.

Coconut-Apricot Wax - The Gift That Keeps Giving

     Here at Luxe Intuition, our candles and wax melts are created using coconut-apricot wax, a safer alternative to the mass-produced soy wax and toxic paraffin wax found in candles at most popular store chains. Coconut-apricot wax is not only organic, sustainable, and harmless to the environment, but it’s application allows for a longer, fresher burn for your candle. This high-grade luxury wax burns 80% cleaner than soy wax and is toxin-free. If this is your first time learning about coconut-apricot wax, we are genuinely happy for this opportunity

to inform you of all it’s wonderful, eco-friendly qualities and benefits. In knowing that there are health-conscious candle options available, you can now have peace of mind that your beloved clique and kinfolk will not be breathing in nasty chemicals that are detrimental to their respiratory health. Just remember, paraffin and soy wax: naughty - Coconut-apricot wax: nice.
