There is nothing like a gentle flicker of a candle flame and a lovely scent filling your home to evoke feelings of peace and wellness.
Unfortunately unless you are burning a natural candle, you are releasing toxins into your home and workplace that you may not even be aware of.
In today’s post I prepared a few simple points I would like to share about my candle collection and why I chose to make the switch to natural several years ago in my home and in my candle collections.
Here are a few simple facts:
Why burn natural candles?
