I am seriously obsessed with candles! Ok, I'm not out of control but I must say that I love them! My favorite scented season is coming up, fall. I have several yummy candles that I'm getting ready to burn. The scents include pumpkin pie, autumn spice, harvest spice, and some candy corn candles for Halloween! Told you I love candles! lol
Where is your favorite place to purchase candles? Or is there a certain brand that you really enjoy?
My favorite brand is Yankee Candle. www.yankeecandle.com . They have some really great scents and wonderful candles. Plus you can often find coupons and good deals at their stores and outlets.
So do you burn candles? If so, what are your favorite scents and brands?

I use aromatic candles to changes the mood of the room and smells good enchanting sweetness and romance. I also used it during electrical blackout, prayer at home and when their is birthday celebration. Then, i never uses candles most of the times to avoid house getting set on fire..

I am not really a fan of candles... But I admire the different candle scents and designs. The only time we could use a candle is when there is a brownout. We only use the cheap ones since the scented ones are really expensive here in our country. It would usually cost about a dollar or two. It would depend on the type of scent and design. Candles are good for party souvenirs like weddings, birthday parties. I love the the pastel colored candles. They really look yummy.

I love candles too but haven't used them in a while. My 4 year old is a little too fascinated with them to have them lit right now. I don't have a favorite brand of candle. It just has to smell good. I love citrus scents, pear, lavender and nice clean scents.

i love scented candles too but i don't buy cause they are quite expensive. but i wish that some day that i can earn well that i can make it a hobby to collect them. but i put my money into more good use than buying my favorite candles. i have tried one scented candles and it smells great. but i want to have a special table and place or corner for scented candles when i can affordt to make one. cause my place is not good enough to find a corner to showcase those beautifully scented candles.
i love great scents on the air. it makes our day great and it can affect our mood and so i want to have these candles. i want to pamper myself many times.

I like candles but I'm not obsessed with it. I use candles at home especially during brownouts which happens almost every week now. We would light 2 candles in the dining area, 2 in the living room which is just adjacent to the dining area then 2 in the sink.
There was a time when scented candles were the craze as gifts or souvenirs and I still have some unlighted. Then I like candles during Christmas. Then we light advent candles too. Any scent is okay with me.

We totally use candles at our house. I love that you can fill the air with a relaxing scent and create an ambiance that can not be created by anything else. I like the soy candles that have come out in the last few years. They last forever! Enjoys your scents!

I like candles and with all the scented ones on the market they do add some nice smells to your house. My wife usually buys them so I'm at her mercy to get the scents that she likes but they've been good so far. One time candles for us were just the long stick ones that we used if the hydro power went down. I don't like leaving them unattended, more than one house has went up in flames due to people not paying attention to that little wick of fire. My nose doesn't work that well anymore so after a few minutes I don't get the full aroma anymore and I like it best when I come home and my wife has one lit, the smell hits me as soon as I open the door.
