Candle of the Day: Blackberry Sage Melts
The weather is getting warmer, I can feel it! Still it’s a bit chilly and feels like early spring. For some reason Blackberry Sage seemed like a perfect scent for today.
I had a soy melt to throw in the warmer, and wouldn’t you know it WAS perfect! Pretty strong and just seems to fit the “in between cold and warm” weather we’re having. It’s got a nice, strong throw which is important in my big open room.
This scent is available in 10-pack melts, or also in the summer sample pack.
What scents do you like burning this time of year?

Candle of the Day
12oz Jelly Jar, Hummingbird
Today I’ve got a 12oz Jelly Jar in Hummingbird scent burning. I thought it would be a nice scent to burn today, since we are so close to spring but it’s still cold outside.
The scent “Hummingbird” is a wonderful fruit and floral blend. It begins with top notes of tart kiwi, middle notes of lilac and tiger lily, with fresh based notes of pineapples and pears. Very unique, and very popular too!

If you’ve spent any time at Prairie Soy Candles, you’ll note we always reference the soy tarts as “soy melts”. Usually when you think of a piece of wax that’s put into a burner of some sort and melted, you will normally call them a wax tart or soy tart. So why don’t we call them soy tarts?
The answer is pretty simple - we can’t!
“Tarts” is actually a trademark term used by Yankee. Legally we can NOT call them soy tarts without getting in trouble. Plus we would NEVER want to do anything unethical. That’s just bad business to steal a trademarked term.
Instead we use the term “soy melt” because it’s easy to understand. It does just what it says - it “melts” in a warmer of some type. Many other small candle businesses are also using this term, so it’s quickly becoming somewhat of a standard to call them soy melts.
So the next time you question why a business isn’t using the term “tart”, you’ll know why. And if you see a company that IS, they might just be doing something illegal if it’s not a Yankee tart.
