I am a lifetime student, and when I decide to learn something that I love, I do a deep dive. Many of you are ahead of me with your gardening knowledge, and I look forward to hearing your tips and tricks for bringing kitchen gardens to life. Be sure to share with all of us in the comments!

So, what is my current garden mission? To get everyone I know (and beyond!) to experience the joy of having a flourishing herb garden. Herbs are easy to grow and take little space, and there's just nothing like stepping outside and snipping fresh herbs to elevate your cooking.

Walking down the cleaning aisle at the grocery store was a nightmare, and even a quick spritz of commercial room spray would trigger headaches and a stuffy nose. Yet, I have two cats and a new puppy, and with friends and guests visiting often, I knew I needed a solution to quickly freshen my home without harsh chemicals.

How to Make Beeswax Candles https://liagriffith.com/how-to-make-beeswax-candles/ https://liagriffith.com/how-to-make-beeswax-candles/#comments Sat, 01 Feb 2025 08:00:00 +0000 https://liagriffith.com/?p=82587 Okay, I’ll admit it – I’m a little obsessed with making beeswax candles! It all started with my pottery class. I was churning out these cute but less-than-perfect little pots and didn’t know what to do with them. Then, inspiration struck: candles! Now, several times a year, I melt down a batch of beeswax and turn those pots into fragrant, glowing treasures. And don’t worry if you are not learning to be a potter like I am; you can use recycled containers, old jars, or any small vessel that can take heat.

But my candle-making journey hasn’t been without its bumps. I’ve made my fair share of mistakes (sinkholes, cracks, you name it!). So, I’m here to share my hard-earned wisdom and help you create beautiful, natural candles that burn evenly and smell divine. Trust me, these make wonderful gifts for almost anyone – and they’re a treat to keep for yourself, too!
