Got oranges? Create a natural citrus candle, sans wax

Citrus aromas make us feel refreshed and energized. But why burn toxic synthetic materials, or buy exorbitantly-priced soy and bees’ wax, when the perfect citrus-scented mood-lighting is sitting in your fridge?

Indie Lee, founder of the all-natural skincare line, Indie Lee & Co, shares one of her at-home secrets for an all-natural clementine candle - no wax necessary!

What You Need:

  • 1 Clementine
  • Olive Oil

How to Make It:

  1. Cut clementine in half
  2. Carefully peel skin off as a whole
  3. Twist the inside into a wick
  4. Fill with a bit of olive oil
  5. Light and enjoy

Extra tip: Cut a small design in the top half of the peel to make a creative candle lid.
