Ah yes. Typical trashy classicism on DCUM.


Yup. Says more about them than who they're criticizing. Classless.

Same here. If you want real holiday smells, cook! Or throw cider and some mulling spices on the stove.


Yeah, totally. Every time you want your house to smell festive, go buy a jug of cider and mulling spices. Even if you don't feel like having mulled cider. That is way more reasonable than just lighting a candle.


There's no clean-up on a jar candle. I don't have to dispose of the unused cider. I am not wasting food.



The environmental cost and petroleum used to create your jar candle *far* exceeds a pot of cider and some spices.


I use plug ins-op

Researchers have shown some scented candles produce smoke laced with almost as many toxins as those produced by cigarettes.
Since they are often lit in poorly ventilated rooms, such as bathrooms, or during the evening when windows are likely to be closed, the release of chemicals can cause indoor pollution that is potent enough to raise the risk of asthma, eczema and skin complaints.
When U.S. researchers burnt a range of candles in a laboratory for a study published two years ago, the chemicals released in harmful amounts included human carcinogens and chemicals known to cause asthma attacks, such as toluene and benzene.
Dr Amid Hamidi of South Carolina University, who led the study, showed that paraffin-based candles produced "clear sharp peaks" for many chemicals, mainly because they do not reach high enough temperatures when being burned to destroy the hazardous molecules they emit.
Research by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency has shown that cored candles release the dirtiest soot - sometimes containing particles of zinc, tin, lead and the metal cadmium. (ANI)

I hated scented candles until I found Catbird. But the damn things are $32 for a cappuccino-sized mug.

No. I just stand outside the entrance at Target and blow it at your kids when you walk in.


Wouldn't expect any less from a Yankee Candle consumer.


I wouldn't expect anything other than bullying bitchery from a DCUM poster. You really need to stop being a SAHM, get a job, and get out of the house so that you can stop worrying about petty trivialities like whether someone uses scented candles or not.
