Recommend Me a Candle
For some of you folks, school has already started. Even though it's not actually fall yet, the fall semester is here. Despite the chaos this year, some of the routines at home carried on. At my household, one of the things during the autumn season is the scented candles.
The candles do add to the atmosphere. Although, I'm not the type of person who has to have that feeling and smell of the season. The home does smell nice even if it's not natural. Aside from the apple pie scent you see, we got the stereotypical pumpkin spices and whatnot. Yeah, it starts to feel like late November by end of August around here.
I'm not familiar with other scents since I'm not the one deciding. But, let's say if I did...
What type of scented candle would you recommend in your homes?
Unfortunately, "no candle" is not a valid answer.
Aren't scent chemicals the most toxic?
I can feel my brain chemistry changing now,...
When you get high, you get high.
If getting high killed brain cells wouldn't you only need to do it once?
I'm a huge fan of scented candles. I love the one you have in this picture. I like Pine Tree ones too.
I shall check out the scent.
I love the ambiance of lit candles. I prefer that over regular lighting. I am much more careful now though. I have tons of wooden candle holders, most are still packed away somewhere from when I moved back here after trying to escape the city. I always said I am not staying but here I am...lol. Anyway, back to the story. I had a couple of wooden candle holders on the wall at the top of the stair landing that I had lit. (This was back when my kids were still toddlers) I was sitting downstairs watching television and had gotten up to go to the bathroom. One of the holders was ablaze around were you stick the candle. I hate to even think about what would have happened if I had fallen asleep or not gotten up when I did since my kids were sleeping upstairs, it'd been a nightmare for sure. These were some wooden holders I had gotten at a second hand store and there was no metal lining inside, it should be illegal to sell candle holders without metal lining. Now I am much more careful, even with the lining I would often place foil inside as a extra precaution if I used them. I am more incline now to buy the glass jars and just keep wooden ones for decorations.
I like candles that have a clean light scent type smell, not to heavy. I can do a pine at Christmas if it isn't to overbearing. Here's a money saving tip though...if you have a Michael's craft store in your area go there after the holidays and you can buy jar candles three for ten bucks. They have one they sell which was called glistening snow, that has a nice scent to it. I always have to smell my candles before buying them....some of those scents are god awful. I usually stock up after the winter holidays but if I run out here's another great money saving tip. I was at Menards one day and they had jar candles on sale, there were three bucks a jar, regular price six bucks, well five something. My first thought was these will probably burn quick but they lasted a long time and the scents are decent. Way better than paying the price for some of the candles you see, like the Yankee candles, twenty five bucks, yeah they smell great and last awhile but I get just as much bang for my buck at Michaels and Menards.
You see that hacker ended up being a seventeen year old kid?....lol.
Glistening snow, eh? I should look into that.
That one I particularly liked. I like having jars of candles around also in case the electric gets taken out by storms in the summer. After the experience I told you about I am even careful with glass jars and I sit most of them in aluminum bowls or old pots I have around. They like to switch up the names, so who knows what they will call the snow this year...lol. If you don't have a Michaels near you you can go online and buy them in bulk discount also....it's just you won't get to smell them in advance. I usually stay away from the ones with food names attached, like sugar cookie or something along that line, they usually smell awful. The pine, wintergreen and snow ones are pretty good. (I wouldn't recommend pumpkin pie either) lol.

Leaves. That is the one we have in our house most of the Fall. It is from Bath and Body Works I think. My wife just buys them and I burn them. It works well that way. ;)
Does it smell like burnt leaves or fresh leaves?
I think they just call it "Leaves". It is just an all around pleasant Fall scent. Not burning leaves for sure!
