Candles: Tips for buying the right one

Alot of people have candles lying around their home. The problem is how few people take advantage of candles and use them to their benefit.

• Candles have a variety of uses around the home. The most important of which is for emergency use. If you are in a storm prone area or near the coast you know just how important they can be when the lights go out.

• The next types of candles are those that provide a good aroma to the room. People spend a lot of money every year on newer odour removal techniques yet they don’t realise how effective a candle really is for this job.

• The key to finding a good candle for your home is finding the right fragrance. If you just want to make the room smell better a lighter vanilla or ocean breeze type scent will give that fresh scent to your house. However, if you want a stronger holiday type scent it’s hard to beat a good cinnamon.
