Making your living space feel comfortable and homey in college can be a challenge. It’s the small things that can completely change your environment. Purchasing a box of Stinky Beans is a good place to start. What exactly are Stinky Beans you ask? They’re scented beads of soy wax that, when headed in a tart melter (a warm ceramic pot) releases delightful fragrance. It’s a great alternative to burning candles in your dorm (since it’s a fire hazard) and you’re saving yourself from harmful carcinogens, pollutants or toxins found in many candles.

You can purchase your very own box of Stinky Beans ($5.50) at Eco Candle Co. located mere blocks away on College Ave. Among many other exciting products, the Eco Candle Co. specializes in making pure soy candles that are hand-poured in Wisconsin using organic soybeans. Soy candles also last 30-50% longer than traditional paraffin wax candles. Offered in a variety of scents (Apple Orchard, Beach House, Chai Latte, Door County Cherry- to name a few) they make a great gift for the upcoming holiday seasons or for your friends! Our lucky readers are eligible to receive 15% off your entire purchase in-store. Simply print off this article and present it to the cashier.* It’s that easy!
