Down to The Last Ball of Wax!

Good Morning! I hope all is well for my readers!

Now this entry is about something that used to drive me crazy. I love burning candles in my home, not just for the ambiance that the flame creates but for the yummy smells! I just love how they would fill the house with the most amazing scents and it would make it so much more inviting. But a problem I ran into was that if I bought small candles they never last longer then a couple hours at best, and if I bought the big ones after a couple times using them they were hard to relight. The sides wouldn't burn, the wick would fall down in the wax or the wick was so short that if I could get it to light it would only be for a few seconds and then it would go out again. It was so frustrating!

So whats the secret??? CANDLE WARMERS!!!

Now I know that candle warmers have been around for quite a while but for some reason they are under used! Many people now use the tart melts(which are nice), but I like the fact that almost every store you go in these days have some sort of candle selection. And sometimes it can be really hard to find tarts and then what if they don't have a sent you want...blah...blah...blah!

Some younger readers may not be familiar with the original candle warmers that had no style or flare to them. They were a simple white disc with an on/off switch. Don't get me wrong, they work! I have one "warming" in my kitchen as I type. But one of the greatest things now is that you can find a candle warmer to match any room decor now!

From modern to country, from traditional to exotic! The more "creative" ones(lamp style, art deco, etc.) will run about $20-$40. The more simple ones how ever tend to be under $10(my sister-in-law found mine at a thrift store for $2). But no matter which way you go its worth it. The amount of money I save by burning the WHOLE candle and not throwing half of it away adds up every day!

So happy melting readers and remember to live your life, don't let it live you!
