Come on Baby Relight my Candle!

 I am so lucky to have many taleneted and super creative friends, but the one I'm gonna talk about today is my friend B.J. She is a girl of many talents: She is a well known photographer, amazing stylist and last. but not least, candle maker.

I have mentioned her before, and her candle line, Relight Candles. Before B.J.'s candles, I was lost... Seriously! I love candles, especially good smelling ones, but the good smelling ones always came in ugly jars, so how can you both hide, and smell, a candle at the same time? It's not possible! So I had to display an ugly jar with an ugly decal on it, or go very much "90's" style with pillar candles, but no good scents... See, I really was in a pickle before Relight candles!!
Relight candles are hand poured, 100% soy wax, in vintage glassware.
Each vintage container was specially chosen because of it’s own special beauty and uniqueness.
When you are finished burning the candle, please recycle the glass. Simply wash out in hot, soapy water and reuse. (but never the dishwasher)

 It's fun to shop with B.J., and together we can spend hours in vintage stores, antique stores, and thrift stores! She always run straight towards the home goods section, to search for vintage tumblers/glass ware and planters to make her amazing candles in!

Honestly I don't think she knows LA by neighborhoods, but by thrift stores. She knows about the most absurd little junk shops and "ohhh, I know where that is at, it's right by "John's Junk O'Rama"
She shares my interrest in decorating, clothes, etc. and she has the cutest and best smelling house in Hollywood,  from where she runs her candle business.

My favorite scentse are: Baby Powder, Currant/Fig, Gardenia, Lavender, Orange, Rustic Woods and Vanilla.... Can you smell my house from here?
"snif snif… scratch your monitor and guess the scent" ha ha
