A Warm Vanilla Chai Candle to Spark Your Soul

PRODUCT SPOTLIGHT

 

Vanilla Chai Latte

We don’t know about you, but we’ve spent the last few cool days curled up in a worn armchair, cat in lap, mug in hand, daydreaming about our favorite thing: Vanilla Chai. Let the comforting flavor of vanilla take you back to your childhood—fresh-baked cookies just out of the oven and warm mugs to chase away the chill after some time playing outside. Or, let your imagination drift an ocean away to the island of Tahiti, where vanilla orchids grow in warm, tropical forests.

 

Wherever the winds whisk your daydreams, the thought got us wondering about something creative you could actually do with Vanilla Chai. Luckily, the sweet aroma of vanilla wafting from  your mug is always good inspiration. Follow the instructions below for a DIY chai-scented candle to cozy up your home. It’s the perfect fragrance to complement a crisp Fall day.
