This article is written by Lisa Murdock Scentsy Independent Consultant www.Scents2Buy.com The candle industry is a booming business. It is estimated that $2 billion a year are spent on candles in the US. Candles have been used for years as a way to scent our homes. There are many drawbacks to flamed candles that make them very unsafe. There is the fire danger and the possibility of an open flame causing a house fire. In a 2001 study done by the Consumer Product safety commission, it was found that though death by residential fires had decreased, death caused by fires from candles had increased in the last 10 years. There are many ways a fire can start from a candle including children playing with the candle, the flame being too close to a combustible fabric, or the candle wax getting too low and the jar breaking. Many friends and family have often forgotten to blow out a candle before leaving their home and have the worry of having an unattended open flame.

Another problem with flamed candles is the soot and smoke that go into the air. When you burn a flamed candle, the wax burns away. Where does that wax go? ...
... Into the air in the form of smoke and soot. This smoke fills your home and the soot goes onto your walls and causes them to turn black. This is obviously not healthy for us to breath the smoke and soot and is horrible for our homes also.

What makes Scentsy Flameless Candles a safe alternative? First of all, Scentsy candle warmers have no flame! They use a low-wattage light bulb to melt cubes of highly scented wax in the top of the candle warmer. Because the electric candle warmer uses a light bulb, you can leave it on 24/7 and not worry. It is as safe as leaving a night light on! Throughout the day the Scentsy warmer will be working to scent your home and make it smell fabulous. Another great thing about these warmers are they only warm the scent into the air and nothing else. No smoke, soot, or wax go into the air so there are no worries of inhaling smoke or soot and having your walls turn black.

Scentsy products are also very cost effective when you compare them to traditional flamed candles. If the average household used one candle per month with 50 hours of use the cost would be approximately $18.95 X 12= $227.40 for one year. With Scentsy the same usage would be one Candle warmer $30 + $5 for one Scentsy bar per month $5 X 12=$60. Total yearly cost would be $90. $227.40 - $90= $137.40 in Scentsy savings. And you have a beautiful candle warmer to use for years instead of a black empty jar.

For those of us who are parents or who have pets, we definitely are looking for a safe, effective way to scent our homes. We have tried so many products only to find they are costly and really don't work. You may smell them for a day or two and then the smell is gone. With Scentsy, you can have a fantastic scent throw within minutes of turning it on. When you feel the scent has faded, you just put in a new cube of wax and your home will smell wonderful again. You can also have a variety of scents with the Scentsy bars. A large traditional candle can cost around $25-$30 and you get one scent. With the Scentsy bars you can get 6 different scent bars for just $25 so you will have a variety to try and not get tired of only having one scent. You also will use the entire wax bar, unlike a jar candle that gets used about half way and you are tired of the black, sooty jar and decide it is time to throw it away.

If you are looking for something that smells wonderful, fills your home with scent and nothing else, and is safe to use anytime, you should give Scentsy products a try. With their 80+ scents, 50+ candle warmers, and many other products, you can find something for everyone. You will love the products and definitely be back for more!
