I love candles. The warmth, the glow, the smell wafting through the house… it’s perfect on a crisp Fall day.
I used to burn candles all the time. Then I had my second daughter. She rolled over at two weeks and has pretty much never stopped moving since then. She’s the child who has no fear and insatiable curiosity. She’s also the child who is just an accident waiting to happen.
And ever since Kaitlynn’s been mobile, we’ve decided it was in best interest to discontinue burning candles lest she get ahold of them and burn the house down. I’m not kidding when I say that. If you’ve met Kaitlynn, you know what I mean.
While we love Kaitlynn to pieces and she’s every bit worth giving up candle-burning for, I still miss candles.
So I was thrilled to discover Scentsy warmers this past year. They are scented, wickless “candles” which are heated in decorative ceramic candle warmers. While not quite as ambient as actual candles, they still glow and smell — and I don’t have to worry about possible fires being started with them!
You know I was pretty smitten because everyone who visited us for the first few weeks after I first learned about Scentsy warmers had to get a demonstration of how they worked and how excited I was about them. I began to realize I was starting to sound like I was a sales representative for Scentsy, so I’ve toned it down a notch and try not to start in on my unpaid “commercial” unless a friend asks first. {By the way, I’m not looking to add any extra things to my plate right now, but Scentsy does offer a Work-At-Home Opportunity in case others of you might be interested.}
I love almost everything about the Scentsy warmers except I found out the hard way that they can’t be moved from room-to-room when they are filled with hot wax (one attempt which resulted in burning hot wax dripping down my arm and on the bathroom countertop was enough to solidify this once and for all for me!). I also think that they lose their scent more quickly than a typical candle does. And finally, I found it a tad bit messy to change scents.
But all in all, I love Scentsy warmers and am pretty sure they are going to be a permanent fixture in our home.
