Summertime Sips with Blume
It's summertime and the livin's easy! We are so excited for all things summer: sunny beach days, sweet getaways, spending evenings gathered around the campfire, and of course indulging in our favorite
summertime smell goods!
Our new summer collection has us swooning hard, especially in our gorgeous new can vessels - and what's even better? These dreamy vessels are perfect for repurposing into classy drinkware once your favorite summer candle has seen it's last light (

We are so excited to show you how to craft not only one, but two drool worthy summertime drinks to get those creative juices flowing and inspire you to give your empty Candelles can vessels a new life, and we are even more excited to be using our favorite healthy drink blends from
Blume to take these delicious drinks to the next level! Blume mixes are full of the healthy ingredients that our bodies need and so perfect for adding to smoothies for added nutrients!
We were super inspired by both
Coconut Milk and
Toasted Marshmallow candles from our summer collection, and these fragrances gave us the perfect opportunity to create both a healthy, and a more indulgent option for these summertime sips!
