Red Brick Candle - Loft No. 1


Hello There! How are you doing today? Fine, I hope! I want to talk to you about a wonderful luxurious product from Red Brick Candle. Currently, they make 3 different scented candles. The product I am talking about with you today is their first candle in the collection, called "Loft. No. 1". Oh my! Let me tell you it smells heavenly. 

Before we get to that though, let me get into what makes this company stand out from other candle companies...

Who Is Red Brick Candle?




From Their Site...

"Established in 2011, Red Brick Candle is committed to making hand-crafted candles, with a focus on simplicity, beauty and sophistication. We pay special attention to the details, knowing that our candles must effortlessly illuminate and compliment the spaces in which they exist. Red Brick Candles are architecturally inspired and are designed to be burned together, creating rich candlescapes that add the perfect touch of warmth to any setting. 
More than creating beautiful candles, we recognize that we must also work in a responsible and socially sustainable way. That's why we also commit to donating ten percent of every dollar we make to community development and urban revitalization efforts in the U.S., with a special focus on the arts and education initiatives in our hometown, Atlanta, GA." 

How is awesome is it that 10% of all the proceeds go directly to help community development!? I wish more companies did this, and it makes me appreciate buying from them that much more. They also have 100% satisfaction guarantee on their candles. I hope to see Red Brick Candle really expand, and get the word out there.

                        (Seen above - Their commitment printed on each candle box)

The Product/My Thoughts


"Each candle is hand-poured and contains 10.9 ounces of premium grade soy based wax and provides 75-80 hours of clean, even burn time and rich luxurious scents. And of course, our wicks are all natural and lead free."

When I first saw the box I immediately thought - quality. The box is so nice if given as a gift there would be no need to put it in another box. 



The next thing I noticed was the matches that came with it. I think this is not only a cute touch, but useful as well. I've never seen a candle company do that. 

Then once I took out the candle, I smelled a wonderful scent of warm maple and vanilla. I enjoy the smell of vanilla, but I never thought of the two being combined. However, I rather like it, and it's not to strong. 


I lit the candle with one of the matches, and an amazing aroma lightly filled the room. It burns slow which in return will make this candle last a long time, and I love that. Also, it doesn't smoke, crackle, or do any of that unwanted stuff that cheap candles do. The candle looks great in any room, and enhances the decor. I really think the owner put their heart and soul in this candle, and it shows. You may not have a fancy ring or gem inside, but the quality of it  is 10 times better.  Not to mention you can burn it at least 80+ hours. It is everything you want in a candle and more. 


To purchase this candle or one of the other candles, you can currently buy it at their official site or where I purchased it on Amazon for $28 located here: BUY Red Brick Candles.

Old Factory Candle Gift Set + GIVEAWAY


Hello Everyone! I hope all of you have had a good weekend. Today, I want to talk to you about a wonderful set of Soy Candle's from Old Factory Candles. They have a very unique set of scent's that is perfect for every occasion. 


There are 3 different candles in each set. I received the "Winter Wonderland" set which consists of: Hot Cocoa, Roasted Chestnut, & First Snow!

There are 12 different group of scent's that you can choose from: 
All of them were so tempting, I decided on Winter Wonderland though because here in the south we rarely have a "Winter Wonderland." I thought that it would be nice to bring that to my home. 


Each candle burns clean and even for 20 hours. Hand-poured in the USA with natural soy wax, self-trimming wicks, and premium fragrance oils.

The smells are truly intoxicating. I love the fact that these are soy candles, which means you will never have to worry about any soot building up on your walls, if you burn a lot of candles like I do.

For being a 3x2 oz candle these last an extremely long time. I also have found all the oils burn, meaning no excess candle left over. They also burn evenly so I do not have to dig for the wick, which was a big plus for me.


All of the candle's were dead on with their scents. None of them were over-powering and released in my opinion, the perfect amount of scent. My favorite one in the bunch was the scent, "First Snow". If snow had a scent this is what I imagine it being.

If you wish to purchase your own set of these candles, you can purchase them on Amazon located here: Old Factory Candles. They are $25 for each set. There is also the option of having them gift wrapped as well which I love. They make a great gift for any occasion or even if you feel like spoiling yourself, which I will totally be doing again soon. 

Overall Product Score: 4.5*
