The New Tropical Pleasure Soy Candles

The tropic is one part of the world that I always come back to.  Their warm climate, the lush vegetation and that distinct smell that makes me want to stick around forever, except that I can't.  But I can always bring the tropical scent home through the different tropical scented candles.

Our tropical inspired scented natural soy candles come in different colours and scents that will forever remind you of the tropics.

  • Bright orange-coloured Mango Daiquiri scented natural soy candle will keep you energized with its aromatic scent. You will surely fall in love with the scent of mango all over again as you surround yourself with its bright happy color.
  • The scent of the blue-coloured Ocean Breeze scented natural soy candles will sure remind you of the captivating smell of the ocean.  I am pretty biased when it comes to colors because I have always loved blue.  Do you know that aside from the scents, colors can affect your mood?  The blue color is said to bring about the feelings of serenity and calmness.

  • The last scent in the ‘tropical pleasure’ scented natural soy candle range is the Coconut Rum. Coconuts are known to have a positive effect on a person's health and well-being. The scent of a coconut can have a great effect on someone who's in a huge amount of stress because it can slow down the heartbeat and lowers blood pressure.


Now, the 'tropical pleasure' soy candles from MiKeRa are made available in another size.  The new size is a little shorter and less expensive than our existing MK15 ranges.  Enjoy the same set of tropical scents in a daintier package.  Get them online now at Alma Importers.

An Apple A Day....

Apples are perhaps the most common fruit. Do you remember in Kindergarten when they teach you the alphabet? The first letter of the alphabet is always associated to the fruit. A for apple. Who can forget about the story in the Book of Genesis? It was Eve who coaxed Adam to eat the apple, the forbidden fruit. For many, the apple became a symbol of knowledge and temptation.


The tree originated in Central Asia and is now grown in Europe and North America with China as the leading producer followed by the United States. This sweet fruit is often eaten raw.  However, this is also used in preparing desserts such as the famous apple pie. Some are pureed and made as an apple sauce.

"An apple a day keeps the doctor away."


This quote has proven to be true because research shows that the fruit reduces the risk of colon, prostate and lung cancer. Eating them can stimulate the production of saliva therefore reducing the bacteria and the risk of tooth decay. It can protect you from Parkinson’s disease and reduce the risk of diabetes. Now, who wouldn’t love this fruit given all these health benefits?

Apple Essential Oils?

The sweet scent of the apple is one other thing that I like. Although the fruit itself does not produce essential oils, milled seeds can produce valuable essence. This combined with other essential oils can make a perfect combination.  The essential oils that are derived from the seeds have antioxidant properties. And here's a great news for apple lovers.  The smell of the apples can suppress your appetite.  So the next time you're hungry, smell the fruit so you'll see for yourself how effective it is in helping you control your appetite.

Apple essential is also used in several beauty products like soaps, lotions, moisturizers and room fresheners.  It is also used in perfumery.  Are you familiar with D&G’s Light Blue? How about Victoria’s Secret’s Very Sexy Summer or Benetton’s Pure Sport for Men?  Believe it or not but these famous perfumes are infused with the scent of apple. I was pleasantly surprised because I have always loved D&G’s Light Blue perfume.

The scent of the apple is known to improve alertness and it gives you more energy to get through your busy day.  It can also draw love, friendship and wisdom.  So if you feel that you need a quick burst of energy, you can always take a break from everything and go light a Karma Senses apple twist pillar candle.  I’m pretty sure that after taking that much needed break and getting a whiff of that apple scent, you will have that second burst of energy to help you complete all the remaining tasks at hand. Now you can say that an apple a day will not just keep the doctor away; it can also keep stress and exhaustion away.
