Last year I really got into scented candles and wax melts around winter/Christmas time. Was such a simple bit of "luxury" for me admidst work/life/toddler parenting...
But, I found a lot of the candles I was buying gave me a headache after an hour or so*. The only ones that haven't so far are some perhaps more "natural" ones (www.thecandlebrand.co.uk/ as opposed to Home Bargains/ Yankee / Supermarket dupes).
I don't want to give up on candles/melts but I don't want a growing pile of ones that don't make me feel too great. However, I also don't have a big budget, so...
- If you're also someone who gets headaches from scents have you found any that are OK?
- Any particular chemicals I should look out for/avoid?
- Any more "natural" products out there that won't break the bank?
Extra points for any winter-y / Christmass-y scents!
Making my own not an option at this time...
*yes, I did lots of tests [scientist!] and I'm pretty convinced it is linked to the candles.
