Discover Tranquillity and Wellness with Sea Zen

In early 2021, my life took an unexpected turn when a football injury sidelined me for 18 gruelling months. Football was my purpose, my joy, and losing it devastated my mental health. One evening, my family suggested I try candle-making – a lifelong fascination. Within a week, I ordered a candle-making kit and fell in love with the therapeutic process. It offered a productive escape from tedious physio exercises.

Delving into candle making, I discovered essential oils and aromatherapy, known for their mood-boosting and stress-easing benefits. This passion quickly grew into a small business: Sea Zen. Our candles are crafted using natural products, valuing sustainability and the environment, and marketed as "health and wellness" candles. Free from nasties, they offer clean and beneficial aromas.

Fully recovered and back to playing the sport I love, I embrace life to the fullest and dedicate myself to helping others escape darkness, aid in their self-betterment journey, or simply enjoy a tranquil moment with a burning candle.

Sea Zen candles are available in several retail locations around Otago (check our Instagram for details) and we offer free shipping to urban areas throughout New Zealand. Join me on this journey of positive change and personal growth.

High Tea Candles

Kia ora/Hello,

My name is Alix de Blic and I am the crafter behind High Tea Candles.

I am addicted to old school teaware and wanted to give these beautiful English China another life! Hence turning them into candles, which I also love.

I research all complete teacup and saucer set to provide you with the brand and the era it was made (all reported on the tag). The China I use is made in England and some date back to the early 1900’s.

All candles are made out of soy wax and poured at my home in MacAndrew Bay. Outside of markets, my lounge serves as a showroom for my husband and two daughters to enjoy.

For more information, please have a look at my social media accounts:

I am happy to ship my candles, I am well stocked on bubble wrap!

Feel free to get in touch to order, either through social media, or through email (highteacandlesnz@gmail.com).

I can’t wait to see you all on markets for a chat (and a tea to match the stall)

Thank you

Alix
