I recently found out about and became a designer for a company called Urban Botanic. I scent my home with their pure fragrance oils now instead of candles. I believe it's much safer but I'm still trying to find professional studies that verify even wickless candles are bad for the environment.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8856557997409700522.post-40031770062686080242009-01-10T09:19:00.000-08:002009-01-10T09:19:00.000-08:00I'd say to follow your gut feelings.

If Mom doesn't put a proper lid on those candles when she blows them out, those poisons would be floating through the house every time they are extinguished.Dave Jensenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08856346166821226139noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8856557997409700522.post-78840195474612053322009-01-09T20:25:00.000-08:002009-01-09T20:25:00.000-08:00My 61 year old mother has just been diagnosed with...My 61 year old mother has just been diagnosed with Multiple Myeloma. I'm talking like 2 days ago! we've spent a lot of time at my parents home over the last couple of days. This evening my sister and her little boys came in with a gift for my mom. It was a jar scented candle. For at least the past 4 or 5 years, whenever I've entered my parents home, there would always be candles burning. Not just one but, many burning at once. My mom says that she likes the atmosphere that it gives. I've always thought it was dangerous...I alwasys think she's going to forget one, and leave it burning after they've gone to bed or left the house. I have been known to put out all of her candles before I leave her house. I'm still kind of in shock over this whole ordeal, but when my sister came in tonight with yet another candle, it got me to thinking....what is in these candles and what have they been releasing into the air at my parents house. I'm just grasping for answers I guess. What do you think?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
