Hi, I’m always going for the same scented candle and would like something different. What are your fave smells to have around your house ? I’m just about finished my vanilla scent and wanting to try a new one. Love my house smelling like I want it eat my candle 🤣. I like to try and de-frazzle the day with a nice scent throughout my house.

Sitting room is plum and fig
bedroom is bergamot

Ahh different smells for different rooms and times of the day. Yes that makes sense. I have a white tea and bergamot floor cleaner that’s lovely

I’m so sorry to be the dull poster…
but I don’t use candles anymore. They are toxic and bad got your health. They burn off toxic compounds and even the fragrance they release is harmful to or lungs and overall health

I’m also making an active effort to avoid scented things like perfume, incense air fresheners

practically everything is bad for you. I have a ton of health conditions and scent is one of my big pleasures in life. I will keep burning my candles (with open windows)
the person who bangs on most to me about candles being poisonous manages to sink a bottle of wine every weekend night and doesn’t see the irony

Hopefully you don’t use a gas hob either.

Are gas stoves really dangerous? What we know about the science

New studies are showing just how harmful gas stoves can be, but there are good alternatives to the open flame
