We all love candles! Yes I also had candles at home...yet we all know how dangerous an unattended candle can be.
There have been many tragedies due to accidentally leaving an unattended candle or by just knocking it over. Many times, I myself have lit a candle and just forgotten and then I take off to run several errands. How many times, also, just for simple curiosity has your child touched a candle...please be careful if you decide to lit a candle!
There are many alternatives to wick candles. You can use an electric warmer or a simmer pot & melt tarts, bars, melts or whatever you want to call them. These are less dangerous and most just warm the wax avoiding accidental burns. The best part of just warming & not burning is the fact that if you forget to turn off your warmer, you can rest assure that you will not cause a fire!
Whichever you decide to do; warm wax or burn wax make sure you are taking your precautions if you decide to burn wick candles...I have either given away my wick candles or thrown away the ones I had started to burn!
Do I sometimes miss the flickering of a candle...of course, but I now have chosen to "lose the wick"... for my piece of mind. How about you?
