Remember when mom used to tell you to take your vitamins to avoid getting sick? While WP's Vitamin Sea won't keep any colds away, it will certainly keep boredom and monotony at bay. Tropical coconut and tart lime come together to bring you another great WP beach fragrance. Trust us- it's just not possible to lead an uneventful life as long as you take your Vitamin Sea. Up to 60 hour burn time.

The poem on the label is as follows"

I put de lime in de coconut and drank them both together,
and the wonderful concoction changed my outlook altogether;
in an instant I was on the beach and the sun was warming me,
giving me a delicious shot of nutritious Vitamin Sea.

"Vitamin Sea", imagined February 2010


In 2005, I began making candles and formed the company Waxing Poetic out of a desire to create the best candle possible for my home, in scents that I couldn't find elsewhere in stores. Things may have changed a bit and some of the fragrances may seem familiar to other candle companies, but I strive to blend the most fragrant, balanced, and true to life scents possible.
The company name is a play on the idea of candles (wax) and poetry together, while maintaining the idea of "waxing poetic" about a better ideal- in this case, a better candle. I use a cotton core, lead free wick, phthalate free fragrance oils, and zero dyes to make what is possibly the cleanest burning candle you've ever had. Why do I not use dyes in my candles? Because there's no such thing as a safe candle dye. Dyes contain benzene- a toxic substance- that is released into the air in minute amounts as a candle burns. Even if you've tried other soy candles and still have headaches or allergies, it's quite possible that you're not allergic to soy per se; rather, you might be experiencing a reaction from the wax dyes in your candle. And really- do you need a candle to be orange to tell you that it smells like pumpkin pie? No. The candle should speak for itself!
The "Poetic" part of Waxing Poetic is tied to the label on these Classic candles. In addition to giving each scent a fun or unique name, for every Classic candle scent I write a poem about that candle or fragrance, or the inspiration behind that candle, or what the scent reminds me of. Most of the time they're funny or tongue-in-cheek poems, but sometimes they're simply memories that I think everyone can relate to. Please take your time on the site, check out the poems posted that are on each label, and enjoy yourself! Until they invent a computer that can transmit scents and smells, I hope my descriptions of the fragrances will suffice. Waxing Poetic- the best thing to happen to candles since the wick!
