In a microwave, melt all ingredients on low, stirring often. Make sure the wax/oils don't get too hot! When melted, add 1/4-1/2 tsp of essential oils (lavender, sandalwood, ylang ylang are good ones (or a combination).
Pour into containers and insert wicks in the middle. Set 24 hours then it's ready to burn.
How to use: Let candle burn for awhile (20 mins?) until enough of it is melted to pour onto the body. Try not to pour too close to the skin. It will be quite warm but it won't burn you. Enjoy!

Soy wax can usually be purchased at craft stores but try ebay too! It always comes in pellet form. Just remember not to replace the soy with parrafin because that will burn your skin! Soy doesnt get as hot :)

Hi Lisa,
This sounds so interesting! But I have a few question that I hope you can help me with please:
Where do you buy soy wax?
Where would I buy the kind of wicks you mention?
Can you use these candles just for burning and scenting a room?
Thanks in advance! I think you're right; these would make perfect, personal Valentines day gifts, and also gifts for showers, Christmas, etc.
Smoochie
