Info about the oils is what I'm really curious about! I have to admit I'm not a big fan of vanilla so knowing what else I could use will be useful.

For the Scrub I used coconut, grapefruit and black pepper. OOOOO so damn good. Even better with a bit of patchouli but I ran out making the candles.

Once your wax has set completely, you can remove your skewers from the wicks.

Your candles should look thick rich and creamy, almost good enough to eat!



You now have the choice of either leaving your wicks as they are until you burn

your candles, or trimming them to 1/3 of an inch from the surface of the candle.

You will eventually have no choice but to trim your cute curly wicks though.

Congratulations! You have made your first Massage Candles!

It is so easy to make simple flavored massage oils. You can make them all natural too, which is great because a lot of the manufactured ones taste like ass.

OMG I love smell of grapefruit. At Bed, Bath & Beyond that is the aroma I buy when it comes to their lotions and splashes. At Victoria Secreat their was one that had grapefruit in it, if I see the bottle I can recognize it. I love that aroma for some reason that along with lemon/lime and cucumber.

Is there somewhere to find out how to make them?

Woot Woot!

You can play with this recipe adding more or less wax and oils/butters to change the texture of it. I sometimes use more wax because it absorbs faster, so you are not left greasy for so long. But if you are into long sensual massages, this recipe should be just right. I think it is safe to cut it down to 1/2 the butter and oil content that is in the recipe, or even leave one out and substitute wax in place of it. I have seen recipes using all of these formulations.

I would estimate around 5 to 8 dollars depending on the number of ingredients that I include.

Just the 2. I buy my ingredients in bulk though, so it is hard to tell. I spent 120 and I will probably be able to make about 20 candles.
