Beeswax Jar Candle Making

I recently hosted a Beeswax Jar Candle Making event, and we had a blast!  Many of my blog readers don't live close enough to join me in person, so today's blog is for those who want to make SAFE and harsh chemical free candles - and it's super easy when you make them in jars! 


SUPPLIES:
HOW-TO:

Set a wide, shallow dish on the stove with water and heat to medium-low, very gently boiling. While the water heats, prepare your jars by adding a sticker to the metal ring of the wick and press firmly into the middle of the bottom of your glass jar. Align the wick holder on the top of the jar to keep the wick from moving to one side.

Pour about 1/3 of the jar full of beeswax pellets, then add 1/2 tsp coconut oil. Repeat the layers, finishing with the beeswax to near the top of the jar. As you fill the jars, make sure that the wick remains in the center. The coconut oil is optional but helps to slow the burning of the beeswax so your candles will last longer.

Once the water is boiling gently, place your jars in and allow the wax and coconut oil to melt. Add more beeswax pellets as needed as the wax melts and naturally lowers.

Once the wax is melted, remove from the water bath and place on a baking rack to cool. Add essential oils if using, dropping them in all around in the wax. Allow the wax to cool and harden, then tie with twine and a sprig of rosemary for a lovely gift!

A Second Option for making these is this: 
Using the same supplies above (except the coconut oil) - melt the wax and pour into jars with wicks attached.  Then add the essential oils to the candle and stir in while the wax is melted.
Here's what you'll need for melting the wax:

Let me know in the comments if you make the candles and which oils you choose (if any).  We are choosing oils for a Fall scented candle (Clove, nutmeg, cardamom, cinnamon) and Winter scented candle (Pine, Christmas Spirit, Cassia, Peppermint, Cedarwood, Orange)

My Story

 
For decades, I navigated a high-stress world as a court reporter, balancing 80-hour workweeks with being a single mom. The relentless pressure, long hours, and emotional weight took a toll on my body and mind. Chronic stress led to burnout and eventually an autoimmune issue that compelled me to reevaluate everything.

When I left that profession, I realized I needed more than just survival—I needed true healing to regain my vitality. I was determined to manage stress naturally and support my body to reverse years of high-pressure living.

Embracing natural wellness approaches, I turned to essential oils, targeted nutrition, and mindful self-care. Through these simple swaps, I found a way to regain control of my health and energy.

What I discovered on my journey is what I now share with others: We are not meant to live in constant stress and depletion. Healing is possible. Balance is possible.

I’ve walked this path myself, and my passion is helping others find their way to renewed energy, resilience, and well-being. 

If you're struggling with the effects of long-term stress, know that hope is within reach—and there are natural, effective solutions to help you feel like yourself again.
