Here is the reason why I ditched and switched!

I love candles; I love their smell and lighting them. The ambiance of candles also brings warmth and homeness to a room. So I go thru TJ Maxx or Marshalls, smelling all the scents, and bring them home.

As I stood smelling all the beautiful candles in the store, I started to sneeze. So I turned to candle over to see the ingredients for the candle. I had never thought about what made up a candle; I thought of wax and fragrant. Amazing what happens when you do a little research.

Research has found that most brands of scented candles use 95% of chemicals that make up "synthetic fragrance," which include paraffin, lead, benzene, and toluene. The last two are known carcinogens which means you are releasing hazardous toxins into the air you are breathing. These chemicals also are capable of causing allergies and hormone disrupters that can cause weight gain, hormonal acne, mood swings, anxiety, stress, and additional side effects.

I removed candles from my home and replaced them with diffusers and essential oils. Now buying oils can be as tricky as buying candles. Most oils sold in department stores have synthetic fragrances. So I have chosen a pure essential oil of Young Living.

I also love the moods candles give off, and I have filled my homes with flameless candles. As I set my diffuser for the day, I can set the perspective of the day as I wish and have flameless candles going when I want the ambiance of the candles.

Additional benefits from diffusing. I do not need to worry about knocking over or leaving a candle going. Diffusing is safe, cool to the tough, and runs on a timer if you wish.
