The lovely Barbara at <a title=\"Soup Kitchen Candles on Etsy\" href=\"https:\/\/www.etsy.com\/shop\/SoupKitchenCandles\" target=\"_blank\">Soup Kitchen Candles<\/a> allowed me just such an opportunity when she sent samples of her yummy Pina Colada scented melting tarts. Up front I&#8217;d like to mention that one of the things I love about this small business is that they strive to use natural ingredients and keep their footprint small. Working out of Newport Rhode, Island, they\u00a0create soy candles using organic, non-GMO soy wax. Their fragrances are phthalate &amp; nitro musk free, and they use quality cotton core wicks. They also reuse a variety of up cycled containers. Yay for keeping items out of landfills!<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">Generally I&#8217;m pretty sensitive to fragrances, but I wanted to try something anyway. I was happy to find that when I opened the package the scent was noticeable, but didn&#8217;t knock me out. Before burning the coconut is the more dominant of the scents.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.turkandbean.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/02\/package.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-501\" alt=\"package\" src=\"http:\/\/www.turkandbean.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/02\/package.jpg\" width=\"584\" height=\"438\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.turkandbean.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/02\/package.jpg 584w, https:\/\/www.turkandbean.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/02\/package-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.turkandbean.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/02\/package-400x300.jpg 400w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 584px) 100vw, 584px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">I love the cute little dollops!
