Candle Tips

Candles are a great way to warm up a room visually. The flickering lights are comforting, not to mention beautiful. When purchasing candles, whether tapers, votives, or pillars, try to get ones that are made from soy wax or beeswax. These burn "safe" smoke that isn't harmful to breathe in, unlike the smoke of candles made of other substances. Remember: You breathe what you burn.

Here are a few of my favorites:
Bluecorn Naturals Raw Beeswax glass candles, $13 for a 8 oz pillar


Anything from the Library Collection at Paddywax, inspired by major authors ($8-$28)
