Sales were fantastic as people understood about the beneficial properties of natural beeswax candles. Dragon’s Breath received praise from the chairman of the show, saying that we “added an extra dimension” to the show. Many many people praised the quality of my beeswax candles and how attractively packaged and presented they are.

Click on the link to the National Honey Show and look at the slide shows, especially 2, 3 and 6 where Dragon’s Breath natural beeswax candles are photographed. Also have a look at slide show 6 where the cups are presented; I particularly liked the pyramid display which was beautiful and the honey looked like gold as the sun shone through the window onto it. Also well done to Chalfonts Beekeepers for a successful event and winning so many awards.
I would also like to thank my willing helpers: Lou, Jane and Derek, staff and other traders for the support, laughter and camaraderie during the three days.
If you visited my stand and picked up a card or bought candles or a candle making kit – thank you. Please leave a comment to let me know your thoughts.

Natural beeswax candles also give a warm glow, and being non drip, will be exactly what you need on your Christmas dinner table or to light your cosy evenings by the fire.
See you at the show, or contact me for candles by post.

Paraffin-based candles produced “clear sharp peaks” for many chemicals, mainly because burning candles does not produce high enough temperatures to combust hazardous molecules such as toluene and benzene.
The scientists suggested switching to candles made from beeswax or soy, which did not release significant levels of the chemicals.

First, if you shut off as much as possible all access to natural light, and thereby create a need for artificial light, what industry in France will not ultimately be encouraged?
]]>I’ll admit that I never quite thought about an eco-friendly bedroom. Green means saving money on electric and water bills in the kitchen and bath — but bedrooms? Well, yes. Green means taking care of toxicity issues throughout your home. “The bedroom is not the place to ignore when it comes to environmentally-conscious decisions,” says eco-expert Sophie Uliano, author of book and blog, Gorgeously Green. “After all, we spend half our life with our head buried in our pillow.” Here, she offers tips on how to get a healthier night’s sleep. read more
