Massage candles are a unique and romantic way to indulge in a sensual massage with your partner. Not only do they create a romantic atmosphere with their soft and warm glow, but they also serve as a massage oil once melted. It’s a perfect way to unwind after a long day or to add some spice to a romantic evening.

There are many types of massage candles available in the market that come with various scents and ingredients. Scandle, Skinny Dip Candles, and Lux Vivens are just a few examples. These candles usually have scents that range from the romantic such as chocolate-dipped strawberries, to playful scents like sex on the beach.

However, if you are feeling adventurous and want to add a personal touch to your massage candle, you can easily make them at home. Soy wax is perfect for making massage candles as it has a low melting point and is generally skin safe. Make sure to check that the soy wax you use is skin safe, and some brands like Nature Wax are specifically made for use in candles.

To create a skin-nourishing massage candle, you can add an ounce of almond oil, vitamin E, shea butter, or cocoa butter to your melted wax. Once melted, add your preferred essential oils and wick before pouring the mixture into a container. Small jars or decorated tins work well as containers.

One thing to keep in mind is that upcycling mason jars or other containers can be a great way to make use of old containers, but it’s important to remove the labels and clean them properly before using them for massage candles. To remove the labels, soak the jars in hot water with a bit of dish soap and vinegar for about 30 minutes. Then use a scrubber to remove any residue. Rinse well and allow the jars to dry completely before using them for your massage candles.

Making your own massage candles is not only cost-effective, but it also allows you to customize the scent and ingredients to your liking. It’s a fun and easy DIY project that you can enjoy with your partner or as a solo indulgence.

Massage candles are perfect for Valentine’s Day because they double as both candles and massage oil.

After a romantic candlelit dinner, you can use the candle for pouring onto your sweetheart’s body for a soothing massage! The soy wax melts at a lower temperature, so it shouldn’t be too hot.

Viral Crochet Prodigy Story Takes Dark Turn — But We’re Staying Focused on the Craft

Yes, we know — it might seem odd to say “we’re not commenting” while… saying something at all. But here’s the thing: when a name so closely tied to the crochet world makes headlines for something this serious, not acknowledging it could feel like we’re sweeping it under the rug. And that’s not who we are. We have numerous posts and patterns that link to Jonah’s hands; these were all published PRIOR to any allegations.  At this stage, we have not decided whether to remove the content. 

We’re not here to speculate, fuel drama, or chase clicks on someone else’s pain. We’re here to clarify where we stand about Jonah’s Hands.
– This is a police matter.
– Jonah Larson is still a minor.
– We will not comment on the case.

We’ve always believed that crafting is a safe, supportive space. That doesn’t mean ignoring real-world events — but it does mean handling them with care and responsibility.

Let’s continue to support one another and keep this space kind, creative, and community-focused.
