“Summerizing” is a state of mind for us in down under, the feeling of a warm morning in the middle of winter says it all, reason enough to feel lucky when we are surrounded by such a beautiful atmosphere and the perfect excuse to light up a non-toxic candle, being present and enjoying the moment.
A CF summery approach involves working with our surroundings to make them comfier yet luxuriously casual. Our tips to follow along focus on making time spent within yourself easier, more relaxing, and above all, delightful.
What is the healthiest type of candle?
Candles are in nearly 90 percent of homes, every time I go to a new place, I put attention to the scent that most of the times come from a candle light-up, but what’s more important is that not all candles are made equally. Many of them may contain toxic paraffin wax, a hydrocarbon mixture that’s harmful to the environment. Thankfully, more brands are shifting to soy or coconut and nontoxic candle blends, as these natural candles are cleaner, have longer burn times, and they’re safer for your home and the environment, the best part? They smell as good as the look.
Vegan alternatives like coconut or soy wax burn much cleaner than conventional candles with artificial fragrances, we have listed for you some of the benefits of using the right candles:
- Soy/coconut is a renewable resource and non-toxic.
- Vegan candles tend to burn longer than conventional candles and the leftover wax is biodegradable.
- Soy /coconut wax can be cleaned with soap and water.
- Vegan candles are often more sustainable and locally sourced ingredients.
- Vegan candles smell amazing, last longer, and don’t have any artificial fragrances.
The first thought that popped into my head when I opened the beautiful and well-presented packaging of Li the present Candle was as fresh as the trace scent all over my room. It smells beautiful as it burns, and of course, it looks incredible. But what makes me happiest about it is the bit of scent I get every time I walk past. It honestly makes me feel like I’m living in one of those memorable vacations. Better, I’d say it makes me feel like I’m living in a spa, but “spa” to me is calmness, serenity, and good vibrations, everything a natural candle should be all about.
Li. The Present Candle is a humble Australian business all about natural, vegan candles and affordable gift boxes operated by two sisters who have gone beyond the candle market and make unique creations of homemade, free of toxins dried flower candles, 100% natural coconut, and soy wax + vegan fragrance oil perfect for you or to gift to someone you love.
At CF we don’t think there should be a particular reason to gift your loved ones or even yourself a moment of peace and sync within your best self. And, that’s exactly the aim of the Li Cares boxes, that when your bestie, your mum or even your sister will receive it, they’ll be glowing with a smile from side to side, let’s be honest here, but a little gift for someone we care about can turn their day around.

As the sisters shared with us, we can’t agree more on the fact that candles are the perfect gift for everyone. Since the beginning, as an Aussie candle supplier, their vision has been to design gifts that represent strength and courage, a reminder of happiness, self-love, and being present enjoying the little gift of life.
That’s also why the company is called ‘Li’, which derives from the classic Chinese word 礼 commonly used within Confucianism, and is referred to as Gift or The Present.
Li candles are made from high-quality ingredients, using a luscious coconut and soy wax blend along with domestically developed fragrances and essential oils that are completely vegan and cruelty-free. One of the reasons why we felt so deeply for Li candles is their decorative and healing naturally dried flowers, (let’s all take a moment to admire such perfection blossoming from the top of each candle) a wooden wick, and finished with a personalized message. As a company and as a community, they want to do their best to protect the planet by using reusable and recyclable packaging, along with 100% natural ingredients.
What Do You Need To Achieve The Perfect Summery-Self-Care-State?
