Dad's Feeling Hot! Hot! Hot!

Scandle Massage Candle

Making Memorial Day Memories…. Because we are so focused on making sure products get into your hands for the Memorial Day weekend, we try to make extra time to remember that this isn’t just the symbolic start to summer, hot dogs, and shopping, it’s also a time for remembrance and support of our American troops. Memorial Day, originally named Decoration Day, was started in support of the fallen soldiers of the Civil War. Decoration Day was first observed on May 30,1868 when flowers were placed on the graves of Union and Confederate soldiers at Arlington National Cemetery 1. Since 1971, Memorial Day honors not only the soldiers of the Civil War, but honors Americans who have died fighting in any war 2. There are a few easy ways to celebrate our American heroes while still enjoying the start of summer: Attend or sponsor your local memorial day parade to honor those who have given their lives for our nation’s freedom 3 Have your visitors sign cards of thank you for Veterans – send them to Operation Gratitude : Thank a Veteran c/o Penny Alfonso 1970 Rangeview Drive Glendale, CA 91201 Each year on Memorial Day, a national moment of remembrance takes place at 3:00 pm local time 4. There’s still time to organize a moment of respectful silence in your area. As we celebrate our American soldiers, many of us love to spend Memorial Day enjoying our time with family and yes…shopping! Americans flock to the stores to find the best prices on their favorite products during this weekend, and we business owners need to be prepared. Make sure you’re stocked up on all of our wonderful products so that your customers can take home a little indulgence for themselves and someone special. According to AAA in 2013, median spending was expected to be up to $765 per household 5. Make sure you’re ready for them to spend that with you!

Father's Day - What More Could a Dad Want? As you all know, Father’s Day is fast approaching. It is an arguably 105 year old holiday whose origins started in Spokane, Washington by a Ms. Sonora Louise Smart Dodd 6. Now, as much as we all love our fathers,some of us (ourselves included) have the tendency to buy them the same gift every year.Let’s make a change this year and celebrate Dad’s hard working, over used and sometimes under appreciated muscles.  An amazing massage isn’t just for Moms anymore; Dads deserve pampering and they absolutely appreciate massages from their loved ones. Scandle Candle is here save the day with many possibilities.  Just two of our options are our sinful Sex on the Beach or relaxing Green Tea & Aloe candles. Sex on the Beach is an amazing blend of ripe peach, fresh orange and coconut which helps remind Dad of the next vacation that could be coming up.  Our Green Tea & Aloe incorporates fresh citrus, jasmine petals, and a woodsy sweet musk to relax and remove life’s stresses for your Dad. Scandle Candle’s motto is Blow it Out. Pour it On.  Our candles melt just a few degrees above body heat for the most relaxing and rejuvenating massage possible.  Dad will go back to the grind after Father’s Day feeling ready to conquer the world!

Sending Some Healing Your Way

With the weather this year, it provides a different way to look at “March Madness”. Usually we are thinking about where our favorite basketball teams are bracketed. This year, many of us are just hoping that it will stop snowing!

With the cold, we are hearing that some of your customers are hunkered down in their houses and staying put. Whether they are watching the March Madness games or trying trying to recover from their latest encounter with old man winter - send some Healing their way.

Our luxury spa-grade blend in our Massage Candles was developed just for times like now. Cold weather can make our poor skin cracked and dry. So, get some relief with our Massage Candles that are all specially blended with:

• Soy Butter (high in lecithin, sterolins, vitamin E, omega 3 fatty acids and isoflavones)
• Shea Butter (with Vitamins A, E and natural fatty acids)
• Jojoba Oil (an excellent moisturizer)

Just think, that wonderful moisturizing blend, heated just a few degrees above body temperature could easily warm up your viewpoint on this cold March weather. We like to say, "A candle never felt so good!"

We kicked our Massage Candles up a notch with our Aromatherapy Massage Candle Blends. Made of all-natural Essential Oils, these candles are true Aromatherapy.

For times like these, we turn to our Healing Blend. We added the all-natural essential oils of Tea Tree and Lemongrass. Why these two?

• Tea Tree Essential Oil – made from the leaves of the Melaleuca alternifolia plant, is believed to have antibacterial and anti-fungal properties ¹  
• Lemongrass Essential Oil– Some of you may have had food with Lemongrass, but might not use it.  Why not?  This essential oil, made from the lemongrass plant, and has some wonderful medicinal properties.  It has been used throughout the world and is one of the most popular Essential Oils.²

Essential Oil Essentials...

It's a medically proven fact that essential aromatic oils benefit mental awareness, vision, memory, and even other people's perceptions of you (so if you want to make a better impression...listen up)!;)   Here's a run down of some popular essential oils and their benefits.

Lavender has been proven to slow down brain waves and promote relaxation, can also help soothe sunburned or irritated skin, minor scalds, and even insect bites.  Light a lavender spa candle and place it on top of your desk and sniff your way to stress management; apply lavender to your temples before you go to bed; or spray it in your house.  Recommended products:  Scandle's Calming or Tranquility Blend Massage Lotion Candles (infused with lavender essential oils).

Citrus oils such as neroli, lime, and grapefruit help clarify, uplift, and are excellent alternatives to caffeine.  Use these essential oils to energize your mind and body before driving, working out, or going online.  Recommended products:  Scandle's Uplifting, Rejuvinate, or Fresh Blend Body Oil Candles (infused with citrus aromatherapy oils).

Rosewood is a balancing, soothing scent that promotes inner peace, focus, and attention.  Sprinkle two or three drops in your bath or use as part of an at-home relaxation or meditation ritual.  Recommended Products:  Scandle Relaxation Blend Aromatherapy Spa Candle (infused with rosewood essential oils).

Other recommended uses for aromatherapy essential oils are sprinkling a few drops of your favorite oil on your dryer's lint screen to scent your sheets, towels, and clothing. Or dab a few drops on a tissue and pack it in your purse, computer bag, or luggage.

News Release - Scandle Body Candle Adds 6 New Aromatherapy Blends to Massage Candle Line

Scandle Expands Spa Massage Product Line with Essential Oil Blends Designed for Holistic Health

[caption id="attachment_4895" align="alignleft" width="240"] Try all of Scandle's New Blends with The Scandle Essential Oil Collection Set[/caption]

January 25, 2013 (Dallas, TX) - Scandle® LLC, the leading manufacturer and wholesaler of the finest quality massage candles and eco-friendly spa beauty products, announces the addition six new aromatherapy essential oil blends to their eco-friendly massage & lotion candle line.

Made with a synergistic blend of essential oils, soy butter, shea butter, jojoba and vitamin E; Scandle’s Essential Oil Body Candle line combines the aromatherapy benefits of a spa candle with the benefits of a skin healthy massage oil in one product.

New aromatherapy blends in The Scandle Essentials Collection include: Tranquility, Rejuvenate, Soothing, Fresh, Serenity, and Deep Muscle for deep tissue massage.

“The word ‘natural’ is probably the most used and, often, misused word in marketing spa, massage, and beauty products,” said Christine White, Founder of Scandle LLC. “Many consumers are not aware that products that contain fragrance oils do not provide the same therapeutic benefits of plant based essential oils, like the ones found in our Scandle Essentials line of Body Massage Lotion Candles. Our Scandle’s Essential Line is ‘the real deal’ and we are confident that our new essential oil blends will provide the holistic benefits that our wellness practitioners and holistic health customers desire.”

Couples Massage for Valentine's Day and Beyond

Couples Massage for Valentine's Day could mean more future bookings! Couples massage is a great way to introduce a partner who has never gotten a massage before in a way that makes them feel more comfortable the first time. Some men are apprehensive about getting a massage and sometimes it makes it more comfortable to have their wife or girlfriend there. Men usually discover that therapeutic touch is very relaxing and restorative. Once they experience a couples massage, they are more willing to book a massage on their own.

Some of our therapists offer a Couples Body Candle Massage which incorporates The Scandle Massage Candle .  The Scandle combines the ambiance of a aromatherapy candle and soothing warm massage oil in 1 unique spa massage treatment!

Aromatherapy is the easiest way to offer your clients the opportunity to enhance their face and body massage services.

The most affordable way to incorporate aromatherapy into your sessions is through the use of Aromatherapy Massage Candles like our Scandle Essentials in your treatment rooms and retail area.

We suggest you read up on Essential Oils and their benefits to be able to offer their positive attributes to your clients.
