Take Love by the Horns

We have thought a lot about why people burn our candles. What are they looking for? What do they want to come of it? We set out to interview many folks about what drives them to certain products and what motivates. The main theme we heard on repeat was all about finding time for themselves and tapping into their inner strength to achieve their dreams. It seemed to be all about self-motivation and finding balance with work, family and spirituality.

These conversations inspired Jacki to create the Power Broker line. The idea of super hero crossed her mind as they are a perfect symbol for inner strength. The Power Brokers will only be available for a short time. Whether you are looking to gain confidence, finding love or being an independent woman; these ladies are here for you!

Our newest limited edition: The Power Brokers are here!  Our special pour of these powerful ladies just in time for Valentine’s Day called The Love Edition. These candles combine ideas of empowerment and self-improvement while focusing on matters of the heart and learning to love yourself.

Don't miss out on these popular candles. We make a limited quantity of these sets and they are sold on a first come first serve basis. Once they are marked sold out they are unavailable until the next year.  All limited editions are subject to change based on popularity.

Small Miracles Can Lead to the Biggest Changes!

At 6:30 am this morning I didn't wish to be rich, I didn't wish for my jeans to fit better, honestly, I didn't even wish for coffee.  At 6:30 am, all I wished for is that my husband get out of bed before me and take a shower.  We only have one bathroom in our house so him taking a shower means I get to sleep in. Today my wish came true and I was able sleep for 15 more minutes. This made my day, just a few extra minutes and I felt that I could take on the day with more energy and optimism then before.

It's a Jungle Out There Sometimes.

The other day I was both amused and horrified by my latest tumblr obsession byefelipe.  For those who do not know about it, it is a series of screen shots of some truly disturbing things that were said to women in the online dating world.

The Glass Container's Price is being reduced. The Glass Container Candles are slimming down their prices in October.  We were able to adjust a few items that we feel will make the candle more affordable while not lowering the quality of the candles. So basically the came high end wax, same 8% essential oil same 50+ burn time, same reusable glass and you still get a box of wooden matches but at a much reduced cost. The container candles will go from $13.95 each  to $9.75 each.  That means that a set of 3 will now be $29.25 instead of $41.85. That's a 30% reduction!  This will make the price more competitive an in line with some of the other glass candles you may already carry. 

Already purchased the candles at the higher price?

Don't worry if you have already purchased the container candles.  You will not be left out on this reduction.  All the stores that purchased the glass container candles will be receiving a credit on their account for the difference in price. This credit does not have to go toward more container candles if you don't want. Please call us at 800-810-3837 if you have any further questions about the container candles or the credit.

The container candles will still be sold in sets of three candles for shipping purposes so the price will reflect the three container candles.

My mother has a little alter in homage the various family member who  have past past away these past years.  She also has planted trees and bushes in her garden dedicated to them.  The the Coventry Creations Factory I can think of three different alters dedicated to different employees ancestors.  They are all very beautiful and all influenced my an array of religions.  In every culture they have different ways of thinking about and processing death.  Some more commercialized then others.  Some are in the mainstream and some are almost forgotten save someones abuela or nana teaching you some old family tradition. Thinking about those who have gone before you is a way to tap into something bigger then yourself and in one way or another help you to heal, give you perspective on what those have suffered before you, teach you gratitude, discover who you are and help you find your path in life.

There are many different reasons why people are at least superficially are attracted to such things like dia de los muertos and beautifully decorated skeletons and painted skulls.  I think 50% of the Halloween Costumes last year were people with Sugar Skull make up. They may not even realize what history and beliefs they are tapping into, yet they are drawn to it.  October is a great opportunity to use this interest to help people connect more to their ancestors and those who have gone before us.   You can set up you own Ancestral Alters in your store, arm your staff with the knowledge on how to help your customers create one themselves.  Have children's events where they decorate a sugar skull and learn about its origins.  Group items together that create a story of how you celebrate the dead in your life.   

How do you honor your ancestors?  Do you have any fun craft ideas to help teach children (or grown up children) about Day of the Dead? We would love to hear from you on our facebook page Coventry Creations Candles.
