Now, on to the candle!

 

Broken Top Candle Co. Sea Salt Surf Candle, 9 oz - Retail Value $24.00

I am always hesitant about beachy scents. They always feel overly fruity or like sunscreen when what I crave is salt, sky, and water. This candle does have some of those fruity scents, but they are balanced out with some florals, woods, and a sea salt scent. I actually really like this fragrance! It feels much more sophisticated than so many other ocean/beach-themed scents I have found. The candle itself is a clean and even-burning soy wax and the wick is cotton. This candle filled my smaller office with a delicate fragrance with ease, and is not what I personally would describe as a heavily-scented burner. It is perfect for a smaller room or for a home that likes delicate hints of fragrance. I really liked the amber glass jar and the beautiful label.

And each Vellabox also comes with a little treat like a food or beauty item:

 

Goddess Garden Organics SPF 30 Facial Sunscreen - Buy a full size 3.4 oz for $14.99

Included was a little travel-sized facial sunscreen. This formula was a little difficult to fully rub in, but the clean ingredient list makes the extra work worth it!

Verdict: This month's candle really surprised me. I dislike most beachy scents and was totally prepared to pass this one along as a gift to someone else who would appreciate it more. Happily, this smell is complex, and those notes of salt and wood make it a keeper in my book. I also think it is a very stylish candle and look forward to burning it in my home! For $20 we received $24 worth of candle value.

To Wrap Up:

Can you still get this box if you sign up today? You will likely receive the July box. From VellaBox:

Once you sign up for a monthly membership, all boxes will ship on the 5th of each month. For new subscribers we will be flexible to ensure as many customers as possible can receive the current months box. Therefore, if you sign up after the 5th, but before the 20th we will ship you that month’s box.

I love natural/vegan beauty products, Korean skincare, unique jewelry, and weird candies from far away places. When I am not waiting for my next exciting box you can find me painting or taking photographs of interesting people. I never leave home without pug hair somewhere on my shirt and a bold lipstick on my smile.

Megan: if you like ‘salt, sky and water’ for beach candles, you may want to check out Keap Candles’ Waves scent. It’s mg favorite fresh beach scent ever.

Oooh I am going to have to. I have a harder time with traditionally “summer” scents but this might be me turning the corner!

They have great candles but for the price/value I would rather pick my own scents for a few dollars more. High quality.

O/T does anyone know what happened to D.L.&Co.? Their website has been ‘updating’ for months.

There are some months where I absolutely agree with this sentiment Tom. Especially if I dislike the scent. It is a bit of a gamble!
