What fragrance do you prefer? Do you just use them for decoration or do you burn them?
I like candles. I have several and like the homey baked something (like apple pie or sugar cookie) smells. You get that wonderful smell without the work or the calories!
And I burn them til they don't burn no more!

I like to make candles! My favorite kind of candles to make are gel candles. There is just so much you can do with them! You can get really creative! I like to add embeds to my gel candles! It is so much fun! I also like to add different dyes to make them different colors, and different scents and stuff! It is such a fun hobby! I love it!

And it can be lucrative. I know tons of people that get paid big money for litte candles. Shoot, just this last school year I got caught at $6 for a medium size candle! Of course it was made of pure soy. So I guess that makes a difference.

I love candles, big, small, pillar, tealights etc. I prefer the unscented plain white variety as I use candles a lot in my healing work. For fragrance - I prefer to use incense instead.

I have that one in my living room. It is nice, although not my favorite by far. I currently have one that is a soy candle I got from my son's school. It is called Welcome Home. And it just smells wonderful.

I use Scentsy candles because they are no flame. I have a child and 2 dogs so I wanted something safe that I could leave on without worrying. Plus they are economical and the scents last a long time. My favorites right now are Lots of Lavender, Key Lime Tortilla, and Ocean. Let me know if you want a catalog. The website is in my profile.

I have 2 kids and a dog. lol. I just keep them up high where they can't reach. Most of them have been gifts or school support, so it's all good.

I love candles! I use some of them only for decoration if I think they're really pretty, or sometimes I'll get the ones that smell really good and just let them sit out in the open to let the fragrance spread around the house. I don't burn them that often, but usually the scent is strong enough without burning it. I mostly just burn them when I'm having people over or just to set a nice relaxing mood. I also love the baked scents though! Those are my favorites. The only problem that I have with those is that sometimes they smell so real and yummy that it makes me want to go and get something to eat! ![](/Content/images/emotes/lol.gif)
