They have plenty of scents for you to fuse and test out for your candle creation. Also, you can bring your own drinks so I brought a nice bottle of wine. They even had a DJ. It really was a vibe. I'm excited to do more classes with them. It is such a great activity. Don't be afraid to mingle with the other folks. Smell each other's creations.

Booked a candle session over 3 months ago for a group of 10. Spoke with Valencia the day before our…read moreevent to confirm everything. We get there the day of just to find out that the location is temporarily closed. We are told we need to instead go all the way to Mercedes Benz stadium to a temporary location. We spent over 45 minute stuck in traffic to get there just to learn there is no reservation. Valencia never communicated that we had a booking with this temp company who was overbooked and then Valencia would not answer and the phone number provided was disconnected. Seems like we are being scammed, especially for a price of $44 per person for only one hour.

The host was super friendly and made our experience enjoyable. Also, when we checked in on Yelp, we got an offer for a free candle which was a pleasant surprise. The whole experience lasted about an hour. Parking lot is tight, but you should be fine. Highly recommend; also great for couples!

I visited Simply Naked Candle Co today for their candle making class and absolutely enjoyed my…read moreexperience. For starters, it's very laid back and relaxing so it makes for a perfect date, friend outing, solo date, etc. the music keeps you in motion while still being at a conversational level to enjoy either yourself or the person/people you came with. The other cool thing about Simply naked is they also offer mobile candle making experiences. I booked them for my baby shower so my guest could have a take home keepsake and they absolutely loved and enjoyed this non-traditional aspect of my baby shower! Overall, I would definitely recommend Simply Naked for your custom candle needs whether that's in their location or at your event. You won't be disappointed!

I passed Grandma's Candle Shop a million times and thought why not stop in? Maybe they'll have a…read moreholiday clearance on some seasonal favorites. Nope, one peek and I quickly grabbed my phone (& holy oil.) It's a small store with the scent of incense wafting through the air. A stern looking lady (who was not my Grandma) stood watch over everyone. The first thing that struck me were the handwritten signs barking orders like, "Don't write numbers in these books. This isn't a library, books are for sale! No refunds. No mixing oils except Myrrh and Frankincense" etc. Ok... The candles clearly aren't being purchased for their beauty or fragrance. I was fascinated and a little scared. You can put roots on people and make them fall in love with you by burning a 'Come Back to Me' candle. 'Break Up' has the opposite effect. You can cast spells, get a miracle, rid your house of evil (Run Devil Run & Exorcist) and get Quick Money rich! There's also a Jinx Removing soap and Court Case shampoo. Prices range from $8 to $15. I asked the sales lady 1) if they were all the same candles in different bottles, 2) if "Grandma" made them and 3) if this was a voodoo/black magic shop. I mean the skull and cat shaped candles were a dead giveaway. The answer was no... And she clearly didn't know what the Pull Out candle was for. But she said she burned her Libra Zodiac and money candles. And you're still working??? She said they get a lot of African and Caribbean customers but it was empty. Probably because there were no Christmas specials (sad face.) There were gift sets. I left after I was caught snapping pics... In short, Grandma's is no Yankee Candle but if you're a witch or know what the High John Conqueror or Dragon Blood is for, it just might be your jam!

Walking in, you are punched in the face with a beautiful scent of several candles that were lit. The store is so pretty! Everything is delicately placed. You are also surrounded by lush, green plants everywhere. It's a plants lovers dream! I loved smelling each candle that was lit. Each scent was fabulous. They also had reed diffusers as another option if you don't want to light a candle at your place. Delicate options that would look pretty on any table or shelf. It was hard not to buy any plants from this place. We are traveling another week so I know the plant wouldn't last. If I lived closer, this store would be one that I visit often.

A standout candle making experience at West + Peak…read more I loved my time at West + Peak. The scent bar alone made the class worth it because you can build your fragrance like a true chemist. The range is incredible with gourmand, spicy, floral, fruity and woody options. Palo Alto was a favorite. The instructor made the experience even better. Her guidance was clear and hands on, and she set up a special table so we could bring our own bubbly and charcuterie. Such a thoughtful touch. We made two candles instead of one, which most places do not offer, and the customization level was far better than other studios. I also loved the option to add dried herbs and florals for extra personality. The finished candles were a great size at about 10 ounces with beautifully blended scents. If you want a fun and personal candle making experience, West + Peak delivers.

The tablecloth I chose was vintage Brandenburg lace. Right in the middle of the dinner party one of my guests brought to my attention that the red tapers were copiously dripping red beeswax on my vintage tablecloth. I remained calm and did not disrupt the dinner party. With a certain amount of savoir-faire, I explained that I had superb dry cleaners and that they would take care of the problem the following Monday -- which they did for a very expensive $40 bill. Thankfully, however, my beautiful tablecloth was restored. Sometimes I can be a slow learner. I purchased a gorgeous pair of orange tapers for the following Thanksgiving. Using different candlesticks I attempted to place these tapers without success. They kept falling out just as the Christmas tapers had done the year before from different candlesticks. I trimmed the base and melted a little wax from the rounded bottom of each taper into the candlestick. I chose crystal candlesticks that could accommodate both pillar candles or tapers thinking that that would protect my orange pumpkin tablecloth from drips. In both cases it was a nightmare getting the tapers to stay upright but I finally managed it. Again, the candles copiously dripped beeswax. These candles are lovely but they are too much trouble. I will not be purchasing them again.
