Natural scents for me, not perfumed ones, which make hubby's allergies act up. Fortunately, there are now a lot of places to buy fabulous candles. I love candles, especially beeswax and soy ones.

No aromatherapy for me! It's very, very difficult to find truly unscented candles, but my even-more-allergic mom loves candles, so she seeks out everything that's available to us. As far as what sort of candles do I love the best - I'm an historical fan, so the perfect candles for me are in the classic candelabra.

Those can be harder to find, but oh, they burn nicely! I’m a huge candle fan, but due to asthma (and general anti-petroleum issues) I’ve had to switch to soy.

I loooooove candles. Thanks for reminding me I need to go candle shopping. Another thing, I always have candles in my stories too. Fire is an element I'm drawn to and it really does set the mood.

I'm sure your winner will love them. Paige - Happy TT! Kaige - yes, kids and candles. Not such a good mix. Alice - yes, that's mostly how it works. The big fat candles you need to burn for quite a while the first time so their memory is wide. That's why you're sometimes left with a big circle of wax. Gabriele - kinky, maybe, but he's still not allowed to play with candles. :mrgreen: Pussreboots - I can imagine. We have a dog, who at least stays on the ground. Cats are so inquisitive. Maybe when the children are a little older... Heather - the irony is whenever the power goes off I have to think about where the candles are, or I've run out! Jennifer - what a great prize.

The inner child syndrome. It hits quite often in our house. :grin: Gina - my thoughts were similar, except I was thinking about me, not you! Tempest/Rhonda - I have to agree. Candles are so great and perfect for every occasion. RG - I'm not letting you loose with my hubby. Between the two of you, you'd burn the house down. :grin: Debbie - I know. Interesting, isn't it?

I didn't know they have a memory, though. Interesting and informative post ~ candles definitely come in handy when the power goes out for several hours. I didn’t know they have a memory, though.
