Connoisseur Reviews | July

11:21 AM 6 Comments


Welcome to the July edition of Connoisseur Reviews.



We are going to explore tea, candles, skincare, eyebrow palettes, and more in this month's review.


Tea Drops are an interesting concept... it's basically high-quality loose leaf organic tea pressed into a compact "drop". There are no tea bags and you can drop the tea right into your hot water. A bit of sediment forms on the bottom, but it is safe to drink. This would make a unique gift for any tea lover you might know. My favorite flavor was Rose Earl Grey, which is lightly sweetened with sugar.






The sample tea kit would make an excellent and unique novelty gift and is only around $14. 



The Chai tea kit is very easy to make and so yummy. 



Here is the Keep Calm and Remain Classy Mug, which is also in pink...

Baylis & Harding  is the UK's number one decor display hand wash brand and they have just come to America. Baylis & Harding is big in England and I’m excited to see them here. Their Goodness Line‘s formulas are plant-based and vegan and sell for $5.99




The 4 scent options come in a generous 16.9 oz, 100% recyclable statement bottle and the fragrances really nice. My favorite is the sea kelp peppermint. 


Mix Easy made-to-order skincare is a custom-order skincare company that allows you to customize your own blends to fit your skincare concerns.They believe one formula can't be right for millions of different people, so custom skincare formulations are the way to go. 

Here is an example of just some of the natural ingredients you can choose from. 



I ordered the orange scent in the cleanser and moisturizer and have enjoyed them for the past two months. Code JENNIFER15 for 15% off.

Barbados Grapefruit and Lime & Ginger Lily are limited summer releases from one of my favorite natural candle brands. These natural candles have very subtle scents and their understated decor looks great in any setting. 



The next item I'd like to share with you is the Aesthetica Brow Palette, which I purchased from Amazon. 

The beauty treatment I have missed the most during this quarantine is eyebrow threading. I get my eyebrows regularly threaded every three weeks and I haven't been since the beginning of March 😱 

This has made for very unruly brows for me. Out of desperation, I searched for a good brow palette and came across this one, which also has stencils. It's what I needed! Now, I'm able to draw my brows in with some shape. I'm still considering microblading, so if any of you get it done, please let me know your honest experiences in the comments. 




Pinrose Perfume Update (Code JSCOTT gives free shipping)



I completely love this perfume. My top three fragrances are Secret Genius, Mystical Misfit, and Merry Maker.

I purchased the travel size bottles of both Merry Maker and Mystical Misfit and have enjoyed blending and wearing those fragrances as well. If I would have to narrow it down two, Secret Genius and Mystical Misfit are my two personal favorites.



Merry Maker is very light and subtle, perfect for people who don't typically like to wear scent. It actually blends very well with Mystical Misfit. I know many of you ordered the sample packs. Which ones were your favorite? Don't forget to use the Code JSCOTT for free shipping.






I hope you enjoyed the reviews in today's video.

Comment of the Week
I normally highlight the positive and inspiring comments I receive in this section and I thank you for them. This week, however, I will address an email I received from a reader who was very upset that I do not regularly respond to the comments on the blog. I will not publish her email, but wanted to address it here. As most of you know, I am a homeschooling mother of four young children. Parenting, family life, and taking care of my home take up the majority of my day. The rest of the time I spend creating and working on this blog, my channel, and books.

Between the blog, YouTube channel, social media accounts, website contact form, and my eCourses, I receive hundreds of comments each day and am unable to respond to all of them. I generally respond to the blog comments every ten days or so. I believe that is better than publishing a canned response that would feel robotic and informal. I have also implemented the comment of the week feature on the blog in order to highlight interesting and inspiring comments. Thank you for your understanding. My family always comes first and I know that most of you appreciate that.

I hope you enjoyed this month's review. If there is anything you'd like me to review in the future, please let me know in the comments. Take care and I will see you soon!

My Favorite Natural Candles of 2019 | Natural Home with Jennifer

7:03 AM 3 Comments


I love candles and always have them in my home year-round. Of course, I tend to burn them more during the fall and winter months, but I still enjoy them in the spring and summertime too. I love the quiet, burning flame and the pleasing scent. They provide a little luxury throughout my day and remind me to stay present and calm.



While I love candles, I have never really thought about their natural (or not-so-natural) properties. I frequented the popular candle stores just like everyone else. Traditional candles can be full of chemicals and synthetic fragrances. As I go through my home and products to make them more natural, however, I realized I needed to find more natural replacements for my favorite candles.

This has been my most favorite post to research. The Sudsy Soapery and Legend's Creek Farm candles were sent to me in care packages from the respective companies. I really delighted in the candles they sent. The scents are all so unique!

I contacted a few other natural candle companies I found online and discovered Cellar Door Candles, another wonderful small business that is passionate about natural candle making. These small businesses all deserve to be known. It's my pleasure to share their beautiful artisanal candles with you today.

Cellar Door Candles



• 100% Chemical free for the entire candle.
• Proprietary beeswax and coconut wax blend.

Cellar Door Candles source their raw materials from a local lavender farm. They make their our own wax blend from scratch, and their newest fragrance designs are 100% organic essential oils. The wax they use is a blend of pure coconut oil (coconut wax) and beeswax.

2 wick- 8oz candles are $18 and have 35 hour burn time
3 wick candles are 35 oz have 65 hour burn time $40



Tokyo Citrus Simple, rare and perfect. Four pure essential oils are used to complete Tokyo Citrus: persimmon, yuzu, blood orange & ylang ylang.

Breathe Easy Pure Lavender, Peppermint, Eucalyptus & Tea Tree.
Four Pure Essential oils blended together at the perfect percentage make up this amazing design. When this candle is lit, it creates an amazing sensation throughout the body. Calming Lavender, Cooling Peppermint, Eucalyptus to open up your senses and Tea Tree to round it out for that slight woodsy euphoric scent.


Pacific Northwest 100% unique wood essential oil. Pure Fir Needle & Red Birch.
One smell of this blend, will immediately transport you. Walking in the middle of a thick forest adjacent to the river. Sweet, Fresh, Green & Pure. A true connection to nature & earth.



Earth Gifts Aromatherapy Candles from Legend’s Creek Farm



These delightful candles come in 8oz recyclable glass jars with metal lids and have up to a 60 hour burn time with regular wick trimming. They use-food grade paraffin wax. Legend's Creek Farm use food-grade paraffin wax to avoid the use of hexane, herbicides and pesticides. These candles are beautifully scented and really fill the room with their boutique fragrances.

Earth Gifts best-selling candles are:



Cashmere & Cardamom is the first candle they created, and one of the strongest throwing scents they offer. It fills the room with a potent and spicy blend of beautiful aromas. This candle is made with blends of cashmere, cardamom, sandalwood, geranium, amber, clove and pepper. I find it to be so cozy. I love this one! $14 8oz




Fraser Fir
Frasier Fir is the best natural replacement for Bath and Bodywork's famous Fresh Balsam candle. Fraser Fir is a classic, timeless fragrance that is very popular around the Christmas season, but it's also perfect for year-round burning. Made with high quality essential oils, it fills your home with the scent of the holiday season. This is the best Christmas tree candle you will find! $14 8oz



Seaside is reminiscent of the sea and reminds me of a chic seaside resort. It is a fresh, ocean scent with so much depth. It is so delightful and unique!


Sudsy Soapery Aromatherapy soy candles



The Sudsy Soapery’s naturally scented soy candles are fragranced with essential oils. I love their beautiful fragrances and appreciate how they fill the room with crackling warmth. The candles are 7.5 oz and have a burn time of approximately 30-40 hours


Sweetly Resting The rich scent of aromatherapy bitter almond is reminiscent of the sweetness that is found in rest. The almond bitter essential oil is sweetened with the buttery scent of all natural vanilla. I LOVE this candle. It is the perfect, most pure almond candle I've ever tried. $18.95



Amazing Love
Warm and soothing, the scent of cinnamon inspires and invites while the exotic scent of the Ylang Ylang flower essential oil comforts. This Aromatherapy candle will be a delight and bring warmth and comfort. This candle arrived with rose petals in the lid and is a very exotic, yet comforting scent. I just love this one too! $18.95

Grove Collaborative



Because many of you are customers of Grove Collaborative, I am reviewing their soy candles in this feature as well. Grove's 100% natural soy candles are made in the USA by talented artisans and come in three signature scents: warm and spicy Vanilla & Sandalwood, cool and calming Eucalyptus & Spearmint and sweet and uplifting Blood Orange. At 8oz, they burn beautifully for hours so you can savor these delightful, natural fragrances! I’ve also tried maple and nutmeg and really enjoyed that one for the fall season. 8oz $14.95

I hope you enjoyed today's video on my favorite natural candles. I would love to know which candle sounds like your favorite! Also, if you have any natural candles you love, please share them with us below.

Have a lovely day and I'll see you tomorrow for the launch of my new eCourse, How to be Efficient at Home!
