Merry Christmas & Happy New Year 

What a year 2018 has been! This year we launched new products (activated charcoal liquid soaps, essential oil melts) and had some exciting limited edition candles for you all to enjoy. Sensilla is always in search for better quality materials and ingredents to improve our range. And by making a purchase with us, you have helped us shaping our small business to what it is today! Without you all, my lovely customers, I would not be able to make, create and grow. Thank you from the bottom of my heart .

We were also able to contribute from our Sensilla Safari Soy Candle Collection, a donation ($2.00 from each candle purchased) to WWF Australia. They do amazing works to engage in protection of our environment and threatened animals. And you all made it happens! So Thank You again for being an awesome candles & animals lovers!

I have so many things I am grateful for this year. The people I met at the markets, new friends and lots & lots of lovely customers. I am forever grateful for the opportunity to meet you all and share what I love to make with you all.

From my family to yours, I wish you all a safe and happy holidays.

Sensilla Online store will be operating as normal during the Christmas/New Year Period but shipments may be slightly delayed as we go away for a couple of days but will be back in full swing on 2nd Jan 2019!

What is Activated Charcoal? Activated charcoal is similar to normal charcoal. The only difference is that activated charcoal has been made entirely for medicinal use. Our activated charcoal comes from hard woods (a renewable resource) which becomes “activated” through a high temperature steam activation process which increases its ability to absorb and filter impurities. Activated charcoal works by chemically binds other substances to its surface and due to its high surface area, it can absorb thousands of times its own weight.

Benefits of our activated charcoal liquid soap

• Deep cleansing by removing excess oils, impurities and micro-particles from your skin
• Detoxifying your skin by attracting toxins, chemicals
• Natural fragrance with pure essential oils
• Anti-bacterial & Fighting odours
• Gentle exfoliating

Sensilla have four different blends of essential oils that are used in our liquid soaps. Each essential oils have different beneficial properties for your skin. Find out more about each blends.

After a long checklist of things to do and decide on, people often forget about the little details that can easily transform your event from being a great event to an unforgettable one. Scent is a powerful memory trigger, we all know that. But sometimes it is easy to forget to add this finishing touch to the event organisation list-to-do.

First thing is what is the “theme” of your wedding? Again, you may not think have one but the one thing that will tell you what kind of themed event you are having is the selection of your flowers and bouquets. Do you mostly pick tropical flowers? luscious greens? native Australian flowers? pink roses? red orchids? or you prefer not to have one but opt to have a donut wall instead? This will give us a hint of what kind of mood we are setting for your special day. We can certainly amplify this mood to the next level by adding beautiful fragrances at your ceremony and then at the reception. Guests can also take home that particular scent that will bring back memory of your special day.

The top 5 best wedding candle fragrances to consider are:

Australian Forest : Our most requested fragrance for the winery, outback, industrial and rustic weddings. This fragrances reminisces Australian native flowers with a hint of eucalyptus, lemon myrtle, pine, sandalwood. A cooling fragrances with a bit of freshness from the lemon myrtle which will not overpower the feel and the scenery of your chosen venue.

Champagne & Strawberry : This is a fun, sweet scent to have! Most will like this fragrance but it will accentuate the fun & relaxed atmosphere of your wedding. Perfect for the whimsical, casual, wedding.  If you are having a donut wall or chocolate fountain at your wedding. This is the perfect match!

Amber & Patchouli : A sensual and complex scent to have for the sense of sophistication. A match for romantic & modern wedding. This fragrance is a complex floral scent with hints of peony, bergamot, aniseed and amber. Perfect remisnisce of your wedding decorated with roses, peony, jasmine, and orchids.

Sandalwood :  Suitable for all events, especially formal and traditional weddings. This scent will not go out of place when lit at the church or those having a small family ceremony at home. This is a warm and gentle scent and will give you a sense of peace and contentment.

Coconut & Lime : Our absolute best seller. You can’t go past this one if you are having a beach / tropical wedding. This coconut filled goodness will be a match made in hand with your bare feet glamour and pina coladas.

A few more tips to choosing the perfect scented candles for your events are to choose a gentler fragrance for the reception. I know some of you love strong scented candles but having strong scented candles while you are eating may not suit all the guests. The top fragrances listed are perfect for use during the ceremony and the reception. You may opt to have candles burning at the ceremony and then have the same fragrance made as bonbonnieres for guests to take home. Can you imagine walking into the ceremony venue with the perfect fragrances filling the room and the glowing lights of the candles? It’s MAGICAL!

Candle has been used for thousands of years and it has its own association with Christmas. Carols by candlelight services are when the church is only lit by candles. Candles are used as symbolisms of life, love and hold many meaning in different religious ceremonies. Whether you celebrate Christmas or simply having families get-together during the new year celebration, this is the time of year to celebrate all the love in the world and the new beginning. So I encourage you to accent your home with Sensilla candles this year and create that warm fuzzy feelings.

Another thing I love about this time of the year and the longer day light and all the lovely handcraft markets (weekends and twilight!) that pop up around town! There are even more choices for you all to shop handmade and buy locally made products. This keeps my biz and fellow small biz alive and supports sustainability in the Australian economy. If you can, I encourage you to shop small this x’mas.

I have released this year x’mas limited edition candles and all the x’mas inspired fragrances for you to explore. I love mixing up new scents and all the X’mas fragrances give me that warm fuzzy feeling (and the thought of plum pudding!). This year we release red signature canisters and x’mas mini trio candle sets (if you can’t choose so you have a set of three!).

Thank you for shopping small this Christmas!
