This is Lilac Ave's 1st year selling Citronella Candles. These candles are made of 100% soy. Creating a long lasting all natural candle. All the citronella candles will be using hemp wicks. What a great way to get pumped up for spring, summer, and all the barbeques, time outdoors, and sipping lemonade on the patio.
I didn't know any of that! Great post.
