Giveaway: Candles From Shauna's Soy Blends

I love browsing and shopping at the Etsy stores! This week I have the pleasure of introducing you to Shauna's Soy Blends Etsy shop. Shauna's Soy Blends makes beautiful candles in a delicious array of scents. She makes her candles with high quality soy wax and they smell wonderful.

Shauna's Soy Blends has graciously offered a giveaway for the readers here at Smart Cents Mom but first, let’s get to know her a little better.

Tell us about yourself ?
My name is Shauna and I live in San Luis Obispo County, Ca. I've grown up here all my life

Tell us about your art? What do you make? How did you start creating your product?
I absolutely love and enjoy creating each unique soy candle that I pour. That is the exact reason I decided to create Shauna's Soy Blends! I pay great attention to decorating the candle so that it's pleasing to the eye as well as the senses. This is why I use only the highest quality SOY wax and fragrance oils that are very highly concentrated giving off an amazing ,long lasting fragrance experience each and every time!

I realized that in my home town there were NO 100% pure soy candles to be found, only paraffin (which releases toxins into the air)! So I decided to make my own. SOY has so many benefits, no toxins, burns evenly, you can re-use the containers after the candle has burned out, derived from soybeans so you're helping out the American farmer as opposed to the Oil industry(as Paraffin candles are derived from petroleum!!!) etc...

Where can we find you online?
Currently On etsy http://www.shaunassoyblends.etsy.com/ or http://www.shaunassoyblends.com/
and my up and coming blog http://www.shaunassoyblends.blogspot.com/

What is your favorite item in your shop?
I really enjoy all of my candles, I burn a candle everyday at home. My favorite scents are anything Berry or Fruity.

What have you learned from selling on Etsy?
I have learned that there is an overwhelming amount of competition out there, which is why I've tried to make my shop truly unique, and affordable as well. I offer all sorts of really neat containers, cups and mugs so that once the candle burns out, you can RE USE these containers over and over again!

Shauna's Soy Blends will be giving away 2 candles to one lucky reader! The candles are a 4 oz Pina Colada candle and a 8 oz Lemon Grass candle as shown below
