ViVO Candles Giveaway

ViVO Candles handcrafts eco chic soy and coconut candles in delightful fragrances. As a lively boutique candle company that enjoys vivid scents with a touch of clever personality placed inside a mixture of soy and coconut wax, ViVO always provides non-GMO, pesticide-free, phlathate-free fragrance candles. Plus all wicks used are lead free.

The coconut wax gives off no coconut scent; it only adds to the clean, long burn of soy wax. Two sizes of container candles are offered with burn times between 55 and 100+ hours, as well as tealights.

ViVO Candles has generously offered one of our lucky readers the chance to win a $25 gift certificate to spend on the winner’s fragrance of choice!
