    Default Candles

    Do you like them? What kinds do you love best?

    I love candles. They make me remember how bad I am at using a lighter, granted, but I do love them. I usually have Glade scented candles, but I like to indulge in the ones from Yankee Candle! I'm gonna be going to get a new one soon!

    I love the ones that smell like cinnamon, pumpkins, and cookies the best. Warm smells! I like to turn my lights off and sit around with candles.

    I like scented candles if I'm having a bath, for instance. And they're a useful backup in a power outage! Otherwise their main purpose is wax play

    I got a beaaaaaaaaautiful candle from bath and body works, it just smells so good (sakura). I haven't burned it because my dad told me I shouldn't burn candles because they just get soot everywhere ;.; also after two years in dorms I'm kinda skittish about burning things where I live

    Around 2000, I was in love with candles. I would burn them for hours just to watch them, and after a while, I poured out the wax and would shape it. I bought so many candles; we were prepared for the next ten years of electricity loss.

    I love candles. I have a lot of them in my two rooms. I find them to be very atmospheric and romantic. I like to have them lid with the electric lights out, and some good music playing.

    I also like incense a lot.

    I don't really use scented candles, just regular ones. I love candles, though, and light them when the atmosphere is right.

    I love warm scented candles too, Rye! Vanilla and Cinnamon are the best!

    Me tooo! I love the way the smoke swirls and twirls in the air before it disappears. Incense makes me feel all cool and zen~

    Scented candles are pretty nice, but I'm partial to tart burners. You get the smell and some atmosphere from them but without fire. I tend to be forgetful, so not having something burning is a plus for me.

    Rye if you suck at using lighters spend a little more 5$ or so and get a butane lighter. It's easy as heck to use and comes in fun designs. I have an extra one I'm not sure what to do with, and the one I do have is a good conversational piece ;D

    I love candle light. Possibly oil lamp light too. I'm thinking about getting flameless candles. I don't feel right using candles too frequently considering I found out the hard way they can explode and wound up with the second house fire in my life a long time ago. Considered my fault. Almost got charged with arson. Weird

    My favorite candle smelled like PEZ. It's all gone now.
