Enjoying Pleasant Journeys and Gathering Happy
Memories As We Walk Down The Road Of Life

There's something exciting and magical about the holidays...and we're not talking about Santa Claus here. Ah, but yes, we're referring to the sparkle of crystal bowls and ornaments, slender champagne flutes brimming with golden bubbly, the shimmer of soft silk blouses and bags, the scents of fresh evergreen boughs, mulling spices and sultry flaming logs crackling in the fireplace with the sounds of familiar happy holiday music following us like our shadow on a sunny day. It's these things that become our future memories and the special finishing touches are what bring the smiles to our faces and tears of joy to our eyes when we unpack the personal treasure boxes of our lives that are filled with our mementos that we carried with us on the many steps in our many journeys in the adventure of our lives.

We are most particular when we create our USDA certified organic body care products because we know that they must care for you every day in a most personal way and that they must not be a burden to you, other wild living creatures or our waterways. We are also very particular in searching the world every year to find lovely future memories for you. We find the most promising artisans with beautiful fair trade and fair made goods, and worthy social and environmental missions so that we can share their story, their art, their inspiration with you. If you haven't already done so, and you live in our area, do find a moment to admire Tina's lovely, creative holiday-theme window displays in our storefront at our Frederick City Patrick Street store. The window displays are festive and are accented with lustrous hand-crafted Guatemalan crystal-beaded balls for holiday or year-round ornamentation, artful DeVeer glass earrings, lively and unusual silk coin pouches, wallets and cosmetic cases, distinctive and elegant silk evening bags from Cambodia, and cheerful and fun Llama leather handbags from Bolivia to carry your precious necessities to your next holiday gathering.

Good health, wonderful friends, plentiful food, purposeful goods, and inspiring stories -- these are the foundation for a rich and full life. Grant yourself permission to enjoy little organic and fair trade indulgences and to create the positive memories for your future. Our Terressentials team would like to thank you for your environmental concern and your loyal patronage of our organic business, and we all wish you a happy, healthy and prosperous holiday season and new year!

Holiday Home Accessories:
100% Pure Beeswax Candles


Accessorize your home with 100% pure beeswax candles! These candles are the perfect eco-conscious accessory to add to your home during holidays and throughout the year, and always make a delightful and useful hostess or housewarming gift. The beeswax for the candles is produced in organically-managed hives and the candles are free from toxic petrochemical additives, hydrocarbon pollutants and paraffin so you can feel good about adding some mellow zen glow to your home with these hand-poured beeswax candles, and take comfort in the process behind the product. You might be pleasantly surprised to learn that beeswax is the only wax that, when burned, produces negative ions which help to remove pollution particulates from the air and gently increases the ratio of negative ions to positive ions. Increasing the negative ions causes the positive ions to drop their loads of unhealthy pollen, dust and dander, creating the ideal situation for cleaner air. Using beeswax candles may actually help to keep your house clean and your lungs clear!

Terressentials stores carry a number of shapes and sizes of the beeswax candles, so you can choose which style is best for your home. The wicks are made from pure cotton, are lead and zinc free, and are pre-waxed for convenience. The recyclable packaging for these special candles is made from 100% recycled paper, so you need not worry about harming the planet. Add a little inviting warmth to your home today and enhance everyone's mood with the soft natural light from 100% pure beeswax candles!
