Gone are the days when candles were mere sticks of wax, simply used to illuminate a room. So much more today, candles are part of our daily routines. Their therapeutic fragrances can give us an early morning pick-me-up or help us to unwind after a stressful day. When it comes to something that plays such an important role in our mental and emotional wellbeing, we deserve the best. Blossom and Burn Co. gets it. A female, Native American-owned candle company operating out of Bradenton, founder and maker Lindsay Wood crafts candles that provide an attention-worthy centerpiece for your home, all while keeping it free of harmful chemicals. Armed with a mission to create non-toxic yet stylish candles that you can enjoy and feel safe using, Wood hand-pours Blossom & Burn’s candles in small batches of 100% non-GMO soy wax—free of lead, parabens, zinc and phthalates. 

If you’re eager and ready for your beloved autumnal scents already, Wood recently announced the launch of her Fall-scented candles which include Pumpkin Spice, Apple Cider Donut, Autumn Bonfire, Hello Fall and more. These new candles can come in her original clear glass jars, or, her new modern, colored clay vessels made by Chasing Stone and The Wooden Wick Co. And if you’re looking for a less seasonal, more ubiquitous scent, Wood recommends her best-seller: Hello Sunshine. This scent contains notes of citrus, mandarin, and grapefruit. What better way to start or end a day in the Sunshine State than with a jar of solid sunshine?
