Episode 10 features an interview of both of my yoga teachers, Andrea Hanson and Irene Muniz. Andrea is a veteran who found peace after her time in Iraq through meditation and yoga. Irene has had a career primarily in the mental health industry and has recently taken the jump to pursuing being a yoga instructor full time. Both of their stories are so unique and inspiring. You can listen to the podcast here.

Did y’all know that not all candles are created equal? It’s true. The American Chemical Society has done studies which prove that certain types of candles add pollutants to your air. I promise not to go on a tangent BUT most conventional candles are made with paraffin wax which is ultimately made of petroleum and other synthetic fragrances. When burned, the candles emit various levels of toxic chemicals including but not limited to cancer-causing toluene and benzene, alkanes and alkenes.
GROSS!
Insert, Coco Chantel Candles – an ecofriendly candle line that still maintains the integrity of a quality candle with a long lasting aroma. The company is a small shop, woman owned, one person show by Chantel! She creates the candles in small batches, using only the best essential oils and fragrances. The candles are composed of vegetable soy wax, natural cotton wicks and are vegan friendly.
My personal favorite is Hazelnut Coffee. I like to light mine while I work on my blog in my living room. I feel like I’m sitting in a coffee shop with the amazing aroma it provides!
I am actually super excited because she just released her new spring line scents and they include: Lavender Sage, Flower Fields, Ocean Mist, Mimosa Sunday’s, Coconut Mahogany, Teakwood Tides, and Sea Salt & Orchid. I cannot WAIT to purchase the lavender sage and mimosa Sundays!
