Until recently I didn’t know about the green light district in Santa Monica. Thankfully The Green Life based in LA pointed me in the right direction via twitter. The green light district is this great area with eco-conscious stores, green restaurants, organic coffee shops, educational centers and community gardens with a focus on sustainability.
That’s how I discovered these eco-chic candles by Pollen Arts at Kelly Green Home. The store has a comprehensive selection of eco-chic gifts and sustainable home accessories. Some of them I featured before like bamboo utensils, reusable food containers or green cleaning supplies. 
It was great to see them all curated in a well-designed environment. I liked that the antique bottle-shaped beeswax candles by Pollen Arts were grouped with vintage style Royal Honey Bee matches by HomArt. Together they make cute green housewarming gifts for eco-modern homes. What’s so cool about the beeswax candles by Pollen Arts is their interesting backstory as well as design. The eco-chic candles are hand-made by a husband and wife team in their solar-powered 1975 Winnebago RV. They come in the shape of medicine bottles, hand-blown inkwells and antique bottles with embossed lettering. Pollen Art’s candles are handcrafted from 100% raw beeswax and burn cleaner as well as longer than conventional candles. They are not supplemented with fillers such as paraffin that emits toxins and carcinogens when burnt. Instead they are naturally scented by the honey and nectar of flowers. But let’s face it: Pollen Art’s beeswax candles are too gorgeous to be burnt anyway.
