Have you noticed newborn babies lately, like there are a lot of them?  There is nothing like the smell of a newborn baby, with all the scents of baby powder and lotion.

I can remember my kids when they were little, after a bath, when they were all clean, I would put johnsons lotion on them.  Not only were they soft, but they smelled wonderful, of course until they spit up.  None the less, it is a smell that makes you remember when yours were little.

Well, if you like the smell, there are baby powder scented candles available.  You can have the smell all the time minus the spit up.  Scented candles are a way of having the scents you like all the time.  Someday, I’ll have grandchildren and enjoy the real scent for a while, but until then, I guess, candles will suffice.  FYI, did you know that baby powder is one of the most sought after scents?  Kinda interesting huh?

Warm your house with scents.  All this coldness in the air, you can make your house smell and feel warmer with scented candles.

The holidays are all past now, we have the cold, dreary weather to look forward to now.  I don’t know about you, but I am tired of the snow.  I am ready for fresh air in my house, windows open, nice clean breeze, that is not freezing.

Well since that is still a dream, as of now anyway, candles will suffice.  There are so many scents now days that you can make your house smell like a dream.  If you are dreaming of warm apple pie, fresh baked cookies, or even fresh clean breezes, there are scents to help that dream along, in scented candles.

Let your imagination run wild with your senses, it works!

Did you ever think your tart burner could double as a nitelight?  Well they can!  You can have the best of both worlds.  No need to shut the electric tart burners off at night because they are safe to run day and night.

Electric tartburners are run on light bulbs so you can leave them on without worry.  I keep one in the kitchen and at night, it doubles as a night light.  I can have the scents all day long and even into the night.  When the scents get weak, I can pop another tart, more chips or you can even add oil to the wax in the burner and have a whole new scent.

Do you have candles that have burned down?  You can even use the remains of those scented candles in your tartburners especially if you like the scent, get your moneys worth, don’t  throw out those candles, use them all.  With everyone going green, this is a start that most people don’t think of.

Ever since I was little I loved lighting candles and incense in my home to create natural lighting and an appealing aroma. I recently moved into a new home, and was reluctant to light a flame anywhere, even for one of my precious candles. After doing some research, I found that tart burners are a safe alternative.

A tart burner uses a light bulb to heat up a tart cup, and creates a similar effect as incense or a candle. There is a wide assortment of various tart cups that can be used with any tart burner. My favorites are soy tart cups, which look as tantalizing as they smell.

Warm your home with fragrance, sounds silly doesn’t it.  Well it is not as silly as it sounds.  You can actually make your home feel warm and cozy, especially this time year.

There are so many scents out there that will give your home that warm cozy feeling.  Just light your candle and let the scent fill the room.  You know your windows can still be open for a while this year and that crisp scent that comes in is so refreshing.  I wish I could have that feeling all year long.

Now that we are going into the colder seasons, the dampness, the chill that goes to the bone, it is nice to come home to that cozy feeling and cuddle up with a warm blankie and have the scent of cookies, vanilla, pumpkin, or hazelnut scent.

I don’t know about you and maybe I’m weird, but I feel funny burning citrus or flowery scents in the fall and winter.  Now maybe spring, but not in the cold season.  Doesn’t it seem like the bakery scents, spice scents, or nut scents should be burned?  Well any way, jar candles, votives, or tartburners, any way you like them.  Happy burning in any scent!

Everyone wants long burning and clean burning candles.  The way to get both of those is to be sure to not let the wax pool after burning for a while.  Did you know that you should trim your wick?  Also you should never blow a candle out.  First of all it is very dangerous because it could splash, it really needs to be snuffed out with a snuffer.   Snuffers don’t cost very much and will save your candle.

It is not always the wax that is the problem, for instance, if you don’t keep your wick trimmed, the flame burns higher and will cause soot.  Also, it will cause the wax to build up on the walls of the candle, ie, burning in the center and not evenly.  It seems kind of silly to have instructions to a candle, but it is the truth.  Just like anything else, you have to use them properly!

If you do these things, your scented candle will last a lot longer and not cause these problems.  I know personally, once I find a scented candle I like, I want to get the most of it.  So follow these instructions along with taking care not to place them where they will get a breeze and you should get a longer life from your candle.

Green products seem to be all the rage these days as our populace becomes increasingly educated about environmental issues. Eco-friendly items have worked their way from a small niche market into the mainstream, and many people are beginning to take notice. Most products that are derived from mineral oil and other fossil-fuel byproducts are being replaced at a rapid rate by environmentally friendly alternatives.

Soy candles are no exception. Whereas traditional candles are constructed from paraffin wax, a soy candle is made from partially hydrogenated soybean oil – a renewable substance that can be created easily in the United States. Americans already consume plenty of soybeans, so it’s especially useful that their byproducts can be used to derive tasteful candles for the home.
