Occasionally I like to burn candles. I usually have a couple going in the living room and maybe one in the dining room. Years ago, before I had children I would have them in just about every room. How many candles do you have burning at one time?

I rarely burn candles at all anymore. I can't trust my daughter around them and she is such a climber that unless I put it on top of the fridge she would get to it. When I used to burn them I would only burn one or two at a time.

I know what you mean. We really have to be careful with the children around them.

i love to have candles lit, but again as everyone says candles and children are dangerous. hot is hot and fire is fire. but i am selling candles they are made from vegetable wax and have no soot so your candles are not going to turn black check them out at www.lusbiz@scent-team.com

I use to love to burn them, but with kids, I have really cut down. If they are in school, I will light one in every room, but none when they are here.

I love candles too but unless the power is out I only burn them in the room I'm in. Normally 1, daily, but love to get a bunch going and will have the whole room lit by candles - as many as 10-20 at a time.

i dont light them all the time but when i do, i usually only have one or two burning usually in the same room. i like the smell (i usually get heavily scented ones because i cannot smell that well) and i like the ambiance that candles provide when the lights are turned off.

You are so right. They do provide a nice ambiance. Makes everything much more peaceful and relaxing. Don't you agree?

I like to burn one in at least three rooms at once. I burn one in my bedroom, one in the livingroom, and one in the office. I love candles. My favorite scent is Rose.

Whenever I burn candles I usually never have more than one or two candles burning at one time. I just hate having several candles lit and having to worry about each candle if I have to leave the room or something. Usually I try to burn them where I'm close to so I can watch them so that is why I only burn a few at a time.

I agree. If we burn too many at once we may forget to blow them all out.

Maybe two, I always make sure there is something underneath so they don't wax up where they are sitting.

We burn candles when the electric service is out so I usually have one in each room the only other time is a Christmas and then I have several in the living room adding a festive air to the room.

I love cANdles and always buy them when they are on special. Regretfully, with my young grand twins in the house I cannot burn them often now. They are so peaceful. I especially like one in the bathrooms and when I entertain I aslways have candles in the bathrooms. It gove such a luxurious touch wiothout being too expensive. Blessings
