Candle facts.......

I met a couple of very motivated and lovely women yesterday who make their own candles. I was fascinated to know that Soy candles produce 90 % less soot than those normal cheapo candles.

Now being a frequent candle lighter, I do sicken of having a black ceiling. And I had never given thought to what I was burning ( paraffin is essentially a petrol derivative ) or what I was breathing in for hours every night.

So now that I do know what on earth I am burning, I am going to have to make another small change. I just don't want to burn any more paraffin.

The afforementioned ladies run their own business called Pure Candles which are beautiful. I will be lucky enough to be testing one in a couple of weeks and will let you know how they burn. The amount of time and effort that goes into these products is amazing. Its all organic and there are no nasties in them.

I will be testing one when back from our holidays..... will let you know....
