Do you use candles?
posted 27th Jan
If so, what kind? Scented or unscented? How much would you say you spend on candles?

scented unless at the dining table then unscented.
i try to use lead free , soy based candles if i can.
so they can be pricey 40 bucks each sometimes.

I always buy scented unless its for my oil warmer then i use unscented tea lights. I don't usually buy the same kind I just walk down the isle and smell them and pick what I like. Not sure how much I spend though.

depends on the size.. for a real flame candle ill spend up to 10 on a single candle.. but normally go for the 2-5 dollar ones that smell just as good and last as long. i have gotten some at the dollar store before. they dont last as long but smell good so i like them when taking a bath..
i have a scentsy in every room that is used a lot.. (bed room, bathroom, living room) and i change the scent in them every few days so it always smells good!

I buy both, but prefer to have unscented in case of emergencies and power outages. We have damn near a 100 decent size candles. I prefer to get soy candles because they are healthier for the environment. We always pay different amounts, depending on how much we have and if I HAVE to have them. Last month we bought 2 Diamond Candles

Bath and body works, I usually get the 2/20$ sale and stock up. I could easily spend 100$ on candles in one trip lol

I like to use flameless candles. I love the look of them but I dont really like scented ones (unless they are holiday ones) and even when Im in the room with them, I dont like having an open flame in the house.

I buy enough scented ones to make my room smell good then the rest are unscented that I use for light. Last time I bought candles I had a $100 gift card & I still went a little over.

I love candles! I only buy and use from one place. I know her personally and she makes all of her products in her shop. She has tons of scents and great prices.

She also has amazing lotions and facial cream. She also makes those herself too! My favorite things are her wax melts. She always has new scents and i can get 2 wax melts for under $3.

I use to work at Yankee Candle so I have a serious candle obsession, my closet is full. I'm always buying more though but thankfully I'm still really good friends with my coworkers so I get the discount allowing me to fill my closet even more

I like Yankee candles and the ones from Bath&Body Works.
Lately though I've been using Scentsy, since they're flameless and we have a new cat and I don't want him to catch on fire

Off topic but how did you like working there? I got a job offer there last year (after I had accepted my current job) and Ive been thinking about applying there again when I can cut back to working part time

You should see if they have an outlet store near you. They sell the candles that weren't deemed good enough for the store (wrong color, wick isn't the right length or in the right place, and they carry the retired scents) for dirt cheap compared to the stores.

It was the best!! I miss it so much. They treat the employees great, I made awesome friends, and I rarely had to deal with an annoying or mad customer.
