Who are your favourite Scented Soy Local Candle Makers?

Suga has lost track on how much time and money has been spent to find locally made candles that smell like the labelled scent or even have a scent once burned in the house, after ‘smelling and buying’.

Please leave comments at the end of this blog telling me who and where are your favourite scented, handpoured local Candle Makers in Jamaica.

I still cannot come across a handful with high quality, lasting scents and there are so many to choose from. So here are my faves!

Beryl + Blossom’s homemade, handpoured soy candles from Trelawny were a huge hit at Suga Lifestyle’s Christmas Connection last December 15th at The Jamaica Pegasus.

They had 6 new scents, Sorrel, Coffee + Sugar, Peppa Mint, Toto, Pimento and Lemon + ginger! I think it was their Lignum Vitae, Ortanique and Oracabessa that stole the show though and I have been using their Lignum Vitae for quite some time.

Laura Alexis Candles in Kingston is quite reputable for strong, refreshing scents as well. They also make handpoured soy candles. Putus and Hol’ A Fresh are my faves.

Odyssey by Yendi!

20180802_000418.jpg
Yendi Phillips with her daughter, Israel at her Odyssey Pop-Up Shop at The Spanish Court Hotel on Sunday, July 22, 2018.

I missed Odyssey by Yendi’s Launch late last year. However, I woke up and saw a promo for a Pop-Up first thing in my Social media feed one morning a few weeks ago. I was inspired and instantly decided I was going to support it. Reconnecting with my childhood friend, Yendi was a bonus.

At the Pop-Up shop, I was greeted warmly by Yendi and introduced to her products and of course, her young Odyssey model and daughter, Israel.

Strong, positive, uplifting, faith-based messages were illustrated on her products. Some of the most popular ones were, ‘I can do all things – Philippians 4:13’, ‘Power, Love, Sound Mind – 2 Timothy 1:7’, ‘Clothed in Strength and Dignity’ and ‘Pray More’.

Yendi hand pours her Candles, which are available in two sizes and various delightful scents. There was Coconut Lime, Cinnamon Vanilla, White Tea, Beach Linen, Clean Cotton, Black Raspberry Vanilla and more. I went home with the Green Tea Lemon Grass candle.

Tank tops, T-shirts and Baby Ts for the ladies are now in colours other than black and white. I picked up the olive, ‘I can do all things’ tank.

Mugs, Notebooks, Onesies for kids, T-shirts for Men and Women were also available.

I couldn’t leave with everything, but I have my eyes on so much more, especially the stationery.

Sweatshirts, Slippers, Leggings and many other items are now available as well.

The Odyssey line of products were inspired by Yendi’s spiritual journey and connection with God, fueling her to keep moving forward and providing her with hope after facing various uncertainties.

By supporting Yendi’s Odyssey, she states that she prays the items will serve as a reminder to never give up, trust the journey, and surrender all to God.

Odyssey by Yendi is now available online and you can follow it on Instagram or stay tuned to Suga Lifestyle to find out when the next Pop-up shop will be!
