There’s something magical about Halloween that brings out the playful side of all of us. For me, it’s the one time of the year where the eerie vibe and festive spirit allow for unfiltered creativity. You see, Halloween is not just a holiday—it’s a celebration of imagination. The beauty of it lies in its permission to step into a new persona, wear outrageous costumes, and embrace the spooky side of life, regardless of your age. In fact, it’s one of my favorite holidays because it perfectly marries my love for dressing up and creative expression with the energy of my business, You Me & Emilio.
Last year, I went all out, donning my best Halloween costume yet: a glowing skeleton. The highlight of this experience was working with the talented Cathryn Colcer, an extraordinary costume makeup artist I met at the Deep Ellum Outdoor Market in Deep Ellum, Dallas Texas. From the moment we met, it was like love at first sight. Her creativity and artistry helped transform me into a spooky masterpiece, and I’ve been relying on her magical skills every Halloween since. Cathryn is a rockstar, and if you ever need an artist for a special event, I highly recommend her services.
Incorporating Halloween into my business has always been a natural fit, allowing me to get creative in ways that make both the holiday and my candles come to life. Last year, I even turned my tent into a haunted house at a local event, complete with a misty atmosphere, eerie decorations, and of course, the flickering glow of soy candles. It was truly a “spook-tacular” time for You Me & Emilio.
Halloween Candles: Elevate Your Celebration with the Perfect Scent
No Halloween celebration is complete without the right ambiance, and there’s no better way to set the spooky scene than with the perfect candle. As a candle business owner, I’ve found that Halloween offers the perfect opportunity to create unique, festive scents that help elevate the experience, cleanse spaces, and bring good energy to those who need it. Below, I’ve curated a list of my favorite Halloween candles that are perfect for adding a touch of magic to your celebration.
1. Palo Santo Soy Candle
This eco-friendly soy candle is one of our best sellers, and for good reason. Palo Santo is known for its ability to cleanse negative energy and ward off bad spirits—making it the ideal scent for Halloween night. As a natural soy wax candle, it burns clean and non-toxic, leaving your space refreshed and energized.
2. Almond Blackberry Sage Soy Candle
This scent embodies the crisp chill of a cold Halloween night. The mix of almond and blackberry sage creates a nostalgic autumnal atmosphere that pairs perfectly with spooky festivities. It’s hand-poured and vegan, making it not only an environmentally-friendly option but also one of our most popular long-lasting soy candles.
3. Sage & Citrus Soy Candle
For those looking for a fresh start, the Sage & Citrus candle offers a perfect blend of cleansing and renewal. Sage has long been used for purifying spaces, while the citrus adds a bright, uplifting note to the mix. This is an excellent candle for those who want to eliminate negative and positive energy alike, offering a clean slate for the new season.
4. Rosemary Bay Leaf Soy Candle
If you’ve just moved into a new home or are looking to invite prosperity into your life, this is the perfect candle for you. Rosemary is known for its cleansing properties, and bay leaf has long been associated with wealth and abundance. Together, they make for a powerful combination that sets the tone for a fresh start. This candle is both organic and non-toxic, ensuring a safe burn for you and your loved ones.
5. Blue Moon Soy Candle
For those who like to embrace their spiritual side during Halloween, the Blue Moon candle is a must-have. It’s perfect for rituals, meditation, or even just quiet introspection on a spooky night. This isn’t your typical daily scent—its unique blend is designed to create an atmosphere of calm and mystery, ideal for when you need to take a moment to connect with the energy around you.
6. Mystic Myrrh Soy Candle
This brand-new scent is quickly becoming a fan favorite. Mystic Myrrh is a complex blend of myrrh, lavender, clove leaf, patchouli, and sweet musk. It’s an earthy, soothing fragrance that pairs well with the Halloween season, adding a mystical touch to your celebrations. Whether you’re hosting a party or simply enjoying a quiet evening, this hand-poured soy wax candle will transport you to another realm.
7. Eucalyptus Soy Candle
Finally, we recommend the Eucalyptus candle for anyone looking to heal emotional wounds or cleanse negative energy caused by past traumas. Eucalyptus has long been known for its healing properties, and this non-toxic soy candle is perfect for creating a peaceful environment during your Halloween festivities.
Dressing Up and Halloween Traditions: Why I Love This Holiday
One of the best things about Halloween is how it encourages adults to behave like kids. There’s something liberating about putting on a costume, letting go of daily responsibilities, and diving into a world of make-believe. Every year, I look forward to picking out my costume and getting creative with ideas. It’s not just about being spooky—it’s about embracing the fun and energy of the holiday, which aligns so well with my personality and business.
Last year, as I mentioned earlier, I went all out with my glowing skeleton look, and the whole experience was exhilarating. The makeup process, the glowing costume, and the interactions I had with people at the event were all moments I’ll cherish. Dressing up allows us to express parts of ourselves we don’t normally get to show, and Halloween is the perfect time to do that.
In fact, I love it so much that I’ve made it a core part of my brand. You Me & Emilio isn’t just a candle business—it’s a space for creativity, fun, and celebration. Every year, I find new ways to incorporate Halloween into my business, whether it’s through special events, themed candle collections, or simply decorating my space with spooky vibes. It’s all about channeling that festive energy into something meaningful and memorable for my customers.
Why Soy Candles Make the Perfect Halloween Accessory
One thing that makes You Me & Emilio stand out is our commitment to eco-friendly and natural products. All of our candles are made from soy wax, which is not only better for the environment but also offers a cleaner, longer-lasting burn than traditional paraffin candles. During Halloween, when the spooky ambiance is key, it’s essential to have candles that burn brightly without releasing harmful chemicals into the air.
Here are a few reasons why soy wax candles are the perfect addition to your Halloween celebrations:
-
Eco-friendly: Soy wax is made from renewable resources, unlike paraffin wax, which is derived from petroleum. This makes soy candles a sustainable choice for environmentally conscious consumers.
-
Non-toxic: Many traditional candles release harmful chemicals when burned, but soy wax candles are non-toxic, making them a healthier option for your home.
-
Long-lasting: Soy candles burn slower than paraffin candles, which means they last longer and give you more value for your money. Whether you’re hosting a Halloween party or simply enjoying a cozy night in, a long-lasting candle is a must.
-
Hand-poured: At You Me & Emilio, we hand-pour all of our soy candles, ensuring each one is crafted with care and attention to detail. This allows us to create unique, high-quality products that stand out in the market.
-
Vegan and cruelty-free: Our soy candles are vegan and cruelty-free, meaning they don’t contain any animal products or by-products, and no animals are harmed in their production. This makes them a guilt-free indulgence for those who prioritize ethical consumption.
Final Thoughts
Halloween is truly a magical time of year, full of fun, creativity, and a touch of spooky excitement. For me, it’s not just a holiday—it’s an opportunity to express my passions, connect with my community, and bring a little extra magic into my business. Whether you’re dressing up, hosting a party, or simply enjoying a quiet night at home, the right candle can elevate your Halloween experience and help you fully embrace the spirit of the season.
