You have the perfect home, the throws, cushions and curtains coordinate but something is not quite right. The look is great but something is missing. Add an extra something special with ease.
THE ANSWER
A great way to complete the feeling of a cosy home is to use a quality scented candles. Adding fragrance and flickering light will instantly transform your home from dull to cosy.
HOW DOES THAT WORK?
It's simple really. The visual impact you create will satisfy only one of your senses. Your sense of sight alone will be satisfied. Leather, soft fabrics and quality carpentry support the look with messages of positivity to your brain. Quality tems like these will soothe your sense of touch. Great music or your favourite TV programme will tingle your sense of hearing. Something is still missing. Your sense of smell has not been catered for. Be transported somewhere else by using your favourite fragrance of scented candles.
SCENTED CANDLES, WHY?
Your favourite scent combined with the soft light of the flame is simply fantastic. Picture the scene. Total comfort, dim light, beautiful music and the intrigue of a favourite scent. You can have all that atmosphere for not a lot of money.
SCENTED CANDLES, ARE THEY ALL GREAT?
Keep an eye out for soy scented candles. Most available today are paraffin based and that's not great for you or the environment. The problem is that paraffin emits carcinogens when burned and is usually a derivative of crude oil. Soy wax on the other hand is clean burning and is made from soy beans. A much better candle, environmentally friendly and lasts longer too.
The other thing you can look out for is handmade candles. These are generally made by smaller companies that put a lot of care and effort into making their products. Beats the heck out of the mass produced, machine made candles churned out in their thousands. Give handmade a try and you will instantly see the difference.
WHERE IN THE HOME DO I USE SCENTED CANDLES?
Start exploring in your living room. Citrus scents will help invigorate the atmosphere while floral scents will help you to relax. Give spice scented candles a try in your kitchen. Mask out cooking smells while enjoying the wonderful spicy aromas. Try burning Lavender candles in your bedroom before you sleep (never fall asleep with a candle lit and never leave one unattended). Lavender is so relaxing that it will help you get a really good nights sleep. Burn a Baby Powder candle in the bathroom before and during bath time. The amazing fragrance will simply blow you away. Dont be restricted to indoor candles, they are great in your garden too. Citronella blends will both freshen the air and keep biting insects away.
It's easy to see how great scented candles are and how versatile their use is. Stimulate, invigorate, relax, there is a fragrance that fits the bill. Look around the various brands and keep in mind that soy and handmade are probably the best choice.
