I like candles, but most of those scented ones give me awful headaches. I switched to an essential oils diffuser. Much better.

Both types of wax add good vibrations to your home. Any shamanic healer or energy worker would recommend candles of this type.

2_ Is the candle scented with essential oils or fragrance oils? Essential oils have aromatherapy value; fragrance oils are cheap pefume.

I regularly buy scented candles (beeswax/essential oil) for my prayer altar and meditation. I was born wealthy and remain wealthy, and it's not something I consider bad taste.

Yes

Plus air polluting for those with asthma migraines etc

I take it you have never shopped in California.

If you had you would know that everything causes cancer. Everything.

I thought I didn't like scented candles and then I smelled a really incredible one. Like what you like, OP. My favorites are from Handmade Habitat, and they're made in the DC area. The sweet spearmint is so good even my husband likes it.

I love them!

I don't think so, but some women here act as if it's akin to having an old couch on your front lawn.

Extremely tacky

Yes

No.

If you are, I guess I am too!

Haven't we already had this thread for 2016?

I went and bought some fall themed candles from Target. My apartment smells lovely.

Am I low class?
