        In 2017, Reposeur couldn't find candles that were natural, vegan, and environmentally friendly, so she founded La Bougie Herbivore and began making her own. Now, she instructs readers in making their own, starting this guide with a concise and interesting history of candle making, from the first use of candles to the significance of different colors. Readers will learn about fire safety, the ingredients and tools they need, and which ingredients may appear to be vegan but are not. Step-by-step instructions for projects include photographs to make it easy for readers to follow. The recipes themselves are straightforward, with a note on the candle's best quality (soothing, mood-boosting), how long it takes to make, and a warning note if it shouldn't be used around young children or pregnant women. Amateur and expert crafters alike can enjoy Reposeur's creative candle pursuits.

        Reposeur's book lays out all of the basics for customizing homemade vegan candles that are more affordable than store-bought ones. There's an overview of appropriate supplies and equipment, safety considerations, and techniques, and Reposeur delineates the pros and cons of different options for materials such as fragrances and oils. Readers can choose from a variety of themed candles with a range of scent profiles, colors, and design options. There are tips to tweak or modify the book's templates, but some readers may want to work through the book's featured candles before exploring variations so that they understand the nuances of balancing different oils or fragrances. Reposeur has tagged candles according to the effects they have (calming, energizing, and more) and named them in ways that might inspire days of reading and baths or ignite a desire for adventure and escape. VERDICT Beautifully illustrated and clearly presented, this book is perfect for readers who want to recreate the magic of their favorite candles for a fraction of the cost, for vegans concerned about the ethics of ingredients in store-bought votives, or for scent-sensitive readers who can't ever find just the right balance of earthy, floral, spicy, and sensual notes in store-bought candles.--Emily Bowles
