Avalon Sunset Candles
Many commercial candles are made from paraffin which is bleached, textured with a carcinogenic product called acrolyn, chemically coloured and artificially scented. Avalon Sunset's beeswax candles are handcrafted from 100% Pure Canadian Beeswax. Beeswax is a safe, valuable fuel - one of the purest known - it burns slower than paraffin, so it's cheaper to use.

Essential Diapers - Edmonton, Alberta
Local to Edmonton, Essential Diapers has innovative baby products and unique customized baby gifts. Their product line includes diapers, natural baby care products, bath necessities, baby bedding, clothing, and a few items for mom. You can have lots of fun shopping here!
