Lifestyle changes , have changed the use of candles from being used as only a source of light and candles are now used in most homes to give the room a nice smell , to get rid of cooking smells , and to set the mood in the bathroom , dinner and so on———–
The shocking news is that the candle which has been bought to produce a nice ambience in your home may be actually harmful to both the environment and your health if it is based on petroleum which most candles bought in the UK are.
Petroleum based candles produce 11 toxins 2 of which are carcinogens , these toxins are both harmful to the environment and does not do your health any good.
Petroleum based candles also produce black soot that ruins your walls and furnishings and is not good for you to breathe in.
But, you can still have your relaxing, romantic, or nicely fragranced room without paying the price.
It could be said that a night at home with your loved one is the ultimate in romance – it takes planning, care and imagination. Whereas a meal at a restaurant followed by drinks at a bar couldn’t be more formulaic.
Here’s how to make your home a haven for true romance:
The way to his/her heart
Food is a crucial ingredient for a romantic night in. Don’t serve a ready meal on a lap tray – get creative. Search the Internet for delicious recipe ideas that you know you can handle – a starter, main course and dessert will really sweep your partner off their feet and make them feel truly spoiled.
If music be the food of love….
Plan ahead and create a playlist that will set the right mood for the occasion – upbeat tunes to start with, followed by mellow music for dinner and beyond.
Dress the part
Just because you’re staying in, don’t be sloppy with your clothes. Dress to the nines to show your partner you care about looking your best for them.
A romantic flick
An after-dinner movie may be a good way to unwind and snuggle into each other’s arms. Who needs the cinema? Set the mood with popcorn and settle down for a film that you’ll both enjoy. If you share a love of comedy, go for laughs, or if you’re both hopeless romantics, choose a classic love story.
Ambience is everything
Dim the lighting and surround the room with beautiful scented candles for a soft glow and a sensual fragrance.
For your romatic nights in use soy candles,they have a natural base that holds the fragrance for longer. And you’ll earn “green” kudos, as they are made from soya bean oil, a natural, renewable resource that doesn’t give off toxins like manmade candles. Whatever you do, keep a wide berth of paraffin wax candles, which could kill the mood with their “burnt petrol” smell or, worse, give your partner a headache!
