I'm a huge fan of scented candles and wax tarts and i like to burn them nearly every day to make my house smell nice and to help me relax too.
So how often do you burn scented candles? Do you burn them daily, weekly, just on special occasiaons, only when you remember? Never?
What'a your reason for burning them so little or so often?

I burn scented candles at normally once a week, sometimes more depending on what was had for dinner that night, the smell of the candle seeps through the whole house and gets rid of that horrible frying/cooking smell that lingers.

I'm a total candle buring junkie. I burn them every night, and sometime I burn more than one at a time. I like to mix and match scents, or if I have with a really strong scent, I'll just use some plain votives for extra ambiance.
There is the pratical reason for buring them...they smell nice. They help get rid of other not so nice scents....like when I cook fish for dinner, or accidentially burn popcorn.
I also like the soft light candles give off. My eyes are pretty sensitive to light, so if I am watching TV or doing something I don't need a ton of light for, I perfer to use candle light. It's saves electricity, and well, candlel light is much more flattering and romantic :-)

I burn scented candles almost every night. The reason for this is because my apartment building (while non-smoking) allows the tenant that lives in the basement to smoke. I'm not all that sure why the rules don't apply to him, but when he smokes, the smoke and the smell comes up through our pipes. It's awful and I constantly worry that the smell is going to sink into our furniture and curtains. In order to fight back the smell, I burn candles almost every night and also go through a lot of Febreeze.

If you snuff it out instead of letting the wick smolder it won't smoke and stink. For jar candles put the lid on it while still lit it will smother it out and no smoke or smell.

I burn candles because I love the scent and I love the warm feeling it gives me. I am a HUGE candle nut! Every evening I have several burning in my house. I prefer fruity type scents. My favorite is Scharez by Yankee Candle. It's a grape scent. I also love strawberry and mcintosh apple. Oh and the fruit smoothie scent by Yankee Candle is another favorite.

I like scented candles, but I use them now and again. I would say I use them two to three times a month.

I love scented candles also but am not able to light them very often as my husband has asthma really bad and it bothers his allergies so the only time I get to light them is when the power goes out and that is only because it is a necessity to have some light in the house and then my husband just uses his puffer more for that day .

I burn scented candles whenever I remember, which is probably once or twice a week. I use them to make my house smell nice, especially if i cooked something smelly. I guess i burn them only once a week is because I forget to light them.

I like scented candles and tarts, but usually forget to burn them. I have plenty, just rarely think about it unless it's for a special occasion! If I want a romantic dinner with hubby, or am going to have people over, I always have my tart burner ready to set the mood and create a more inviting atmosphere.

Pretty much everyday.
I like to use Yankee Candles and Tarts and also burn a lot of incense sticks. It helps when a fresh smell from the litter tray suddenly wafts in!
