Its candles are made with 100% natural soy wax and fragrances that are free of harmful chemicals, phthalates, and pollutants. The small, rectangular piece of wood that can be found in the middle of Brighter Days candles is the wick and it is made up of 100% organic and untreated native cherry wood. The cherry wood wick provides a unique horizontal flame that creates a soft crackling sound when burning, emitting the cozy ambiance of a fireplace or campfire. The wood wick helps the candle to burn slower which adds more burn time to the aromatherapy experience of the candle.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-166413\" src=\"https:\/\/thelocalgirl.com\/jerseyshore\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2024\/01\/brighter-days-co-boutique-asbury-park-800x800.jpg\" alt=\"brighter days co boutique asbury park\" width=\"450\" height=\"450\" srcset=\"https:\/\/thelocalgirl.com\/jerseyshore\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2024\/01\/brighter-days-co-boutique-asbury-park-800x800.jpg 800w, https:\/\/thelocalgirl.com\/jerseyshore\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2024\/01\/brighter-days-co-boutique-asbury-park-1024x1024.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/thelocalgirl.com\/jerseyshore\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2024\/01\/brighter-days-co-boutique-asbury-park-200x200.jpg 200w, https:\/\/thelocalgirl.com\/jerseyshore\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2024\/01\/brighter-days-co-boutique-asbury-park-768x768.jpg 768w, https:\/\/thelocalgirl.com\/jerseyshore\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2024\/01\/brighter-days-co-boutique-asbury-park-640x640.jpg 640w, https:\/\/thelocalgirl.com\/jerseyshore\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2024\/01\/brighter-days-co-boutique-asbury-park-585x585.jpg 585w, https:\/\/thelocalgirl.com\/jerseyshore\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2024\/01\/brighter-days-co-boutique-asbury-park.jpg 1080w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 450px) 100vw, 450px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">For some candle education and background knowledge, most candles, such as ones found in popular retail chain stores like Bath + Body Works and Yankee Candle, are made with paraffin wax, which is derived from petroleum. Soy wax is derived from soybeans, which is a vegetable. Soybeans are natural and non-toxic. Soy candles burn cleaner with virtually no soot or smoke. Those who suffer from allergies, or headaches, or who have a sensitivity to fragrance oils will be able to tolerate soy candles more easily because they burn slowly and the scent is released gradually. If burned properly, Brighter Days candles last for 90+ burns.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong><em>Read More:\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/thelocalgirl.com\/jerseyshore\/glassblowing-asbury-park-new-jersey-hot-sand\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Hot Sand: All About Asbury Park&#8217;s Glassblowing Studio<\/a><\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">All of Brighter Days\u2019 100% soy wax, crackling wooden wick, and non-toxic candles are available for purchase at their workshop in Marlboro as well as <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.brighterdaysco.com\/shop?Category=Candles\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">online<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3>DIY Candle-Making Workshops<\/h3>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-166412\" src=\"https:\/\/thelocalgirl.com\/jerseyshore\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2024\/01\/brighter-days-co-boutique-asbury-park-candle-making-800x800.jpg\" alt=\"brighter days co boutique asbury park candle making\" width=\"450\" height=\"450\" srcset=\"https:\/\/thelocalgirl.com\/jerseyshore\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2024\/01\/brighter-days-co-boutique-asbury-park-candle-making-800x800.jpg 800w, https:\/\/thelocalgirl.com\/jerseyshore\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2024\/01\/brighter-days-co-boutique-asbury-park-candle-making-1024x1024.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/thelocalgirl.com\/jerseyshore\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2024\/01\/brighter-days-co-boutique-asbury-park-candle-making-200x200.jpg 200w, https:\/\/thelocalgirl.com\/jerseyshore\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2024\/01\/brighter-days-co-boutique-asbury-park-candle-making-768x768.jpg 768w, https:\/\/thelocalgirl.com\/jerseyshore\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2024\/01\/brighter-days-co-boutique-asbury-park-candle-making-640x640.jpg 640w, https:\/\/thelocalgirl.com\/jerseyshore\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2024\/01\/brighter-days-co-boutique-asbury-park-candle-making-585x585.jpg 585w, https:\/\/thelocalgirl.com\/jerseyshore\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2024\/01\/brighter-days-co-boutique-asbury-park-candle-making.jpg 1080w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 450px) 100vw, 450px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Brighter Days Co. has candle-making workshops at its Marlboro, New Jersey studio.
