Candles

Candles can be decorative, scented or religious and are made of a variety of types of waxes and wicks. Paraffin candles are the standard and are derivatives of petroleum products. Candles made from pure beeswax burn more slowly than paraffin. Soy candles are a popular eco-friendly option as the wax comes from soybeans and burns cleanly with no soot or black smoke. Fragrant candles are very popular with hundreds of choices in aromas, from lavender to relax to citrus to revitalize. Candle wedding favors are very popular keepsakes that are given to guests at the reception.

Blogs on candles are very useful for information on new trends in candles, seasonal offerings and finding special purpose candles like citronella for insect repellents. Many of the blogs on candles are from the candle production companies and provide information on new lines, new scents and benefits of candles.
