One for the Lady's here,,,
l have a personal prefference as to candles in the house other than for
emergency it is a no no... l use a no flamefragarence lamp,, but,, Do you
use a candle made from ordinary waxes, or is ita bee is wax candle, or the
best, soybean wax candle ...All being of the scented brands ... I am not
interested in the burning of incense in the house ,it is smoke that l
despise in the house no matter how nice it smells. The other alternative
is a vase with oils in it, and small wooden sticks that absorb the oils then disperse the scent..
I recommend the 100% soybean candles. If candles don't say
they are 100% soybean, it means they have petroleum in them. I don't
think too many people want to breathe in petroleum, but nevertheless
candles have it in them. The cheaper the candle, the more petroleum. The
read diffusers are a good solution for scenting ur home, without
electricity or having a candle lit. Once again, you get what you pay for.
The more spendy types run appr. 25.00-40.00 but last anywhere from 6 months to over a year. Just remember to flip the sticks when you no longer smell the scent.
I use fragrance lamps too. They are safer and the smell lingers
to several rooms instead of a secluded area like candles.
I used to have candles before I had 4 kids running around the
house. If I need just a quick fix I use febreeze and when want something
that lasts longer I use the scented oils.
I use the flameless, scented led candles. They're pretty much
everywhere now but Brookstone has some very good ones. For tea lights, I
use led also. They're beautiful and I don't have to worry about wax mess
or flames.
i use a huge amount of candles, all the time in my house, but i
tend to use tealights in lots of nice holders & wall sconces, i hate how a
big candle burns, they are uneven & often spill, so i bought lots & lots
of beautiful holders,
forget scented candles, if you want a nice aroma without smoke
a nice oil burner is what you want, i use brass ones, a small tealight
under it, & off you go, you put water in the holder, & a few drops of oil in it & it gently makes ur room smell, for the duration of the candle & beyond, during the day i use oil such as lemongrass, its an invigorating, beautiful clean smell, at night lavender & vanilla are relaxing, oils are cheap & last for ages as you only use a couple of drops & you can learn what you like & mix ur own, its a great, safe way to fragrance ur home, in any room, i use ones like these, but you can get them in ceramic, & nice ones with glass dishes on top http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/brass-pyramid-oil-burner-with-lid_W0QQitemZ140031160775QQihZ004QQcategoryZ20554QQrdZ1QQssPageNameZWD1VQQcmdZViewItemQQ_trksidZp1638Q2em118Q2el1247
I use candles only on special occasions & only soy candles as
they are cleaner & longer burning. For scenting I use many diffusers
throughout the house. Tip: with using a diffuser is the warmer the oil the
more scent they give off. So during the winter time I put them in the room
closest to where the heat blows & during the summer I put them on
windowsills.
Also another idea I have used when a favorite fragrance comes out seasonally or just when the budget runs a little tight (good quality soy candles & diffusers can get expensive when used regularly) is to buy the jar version of a candle (2.00-5.00) & a candle warming plate (4.96 at Walmart). It warms/melts the candle in the jar therefore you can scent the house without a flame. And can make a candle last SO much longer as it basically reusable instead of the wax melting away.
hm i use candle made from ordinary waxes but my fav are soybean
