Last weekend, after we went to Exploration Acres and had lunch, we went to Bask Aroma to make candles! Bask Aroma is a new candle making shop in Lafayette. It was my first time at a shop like this but I have been dying to try it so I am thrilled there is now a shop in town that does this. The ladies working the day we went were so nice and we had the best time. When you arrive, they walk you through the process and have you fill out a sheet with your favorite scents out of their many, many different scents.
Once you have selected your favorites, you head up to the counter and the staff assists you through the remaining steps. You select up to 3 scents to combine. They pull the bottles from behind the counter and walk you through how to smell them each individually and together. They then instruct you to fill a jigger full with whatever combination you would like. It kinda of an experiment. You pour some oils in and stir and smell and adjust until you fill the jigger to the top.
Wyatt and I started the experience planning to make only one candle but when we combined a few of our favorite scents, we decided to go ahead and make another because we weren't totally satisfied with our first scent. It reminded us a bit of soap. It was a fresh scent that I actually really like now that we have the candle back! Our second candle, however, was a masterpiece and PERFECT for the upcoming holiday season! It takes two hours for your candles to set and get the finishing touches. I picked up our candles the next day they were open and they even come in the cutest little packaging with care instruction card and your original card that you filled out as you picked out scents.
The shop is so cute. They have a selection of wine and small bites you can order while you are there. They even have a cute sitting area that you can use while there, perfect for hosting showers and small outings. One of the ladies even offered to take a group picture of us all in front of their backdrop. I am already looking forward to going back and adding this to the list of things to do with out-of-town guests. Besides candles, you can also make wax melts, room sprays, and bath and body products.
