- I love love love candles, but since going chemical free I decided I was no longer going to fumigate my living room with lovely smelling (but toxic) smoke! Thinking about it, I could even see the smoke burning black from the candle and never gave it a second thought because hey, my room smelled delicious! So I had a problem...how was I going to have a cosy, lights down, candles on, movie on type of evening without candles!? Then I discovered the ingenious idea that some beauty had...FLAMELESS CANDLES! They are AMAZING..honestly!
1) They are battery powered, so essentially last forever!! No need to keep re buying once the wax has melted like your typical candles.
2) The ones I found actually flicker, like real candles! They look so lovely at night time :)
3) They are SAFE! If you have children/pets who may touch a real candle you don't need to worry about a burnt hand, dogs tail, or a burned down house if you forget and go out with it left on!
4) Some of them (see above) come within gorgeous lantern styles which look SO Lovely! I've had many comments about how nice they look.
The only downside (which I can see) is they do not have any smell! My post below outlines how I have overcome this...💕
PS The above candles were all purchased in Abu Dhabi, from LifeStyle and they also sell flameless candles in Home Centre (without the lanterns). Elsewhere, I'm sure they will be available world wide or online! - Cutting out candles lead me to this little beauty! A diffuser from Home Centre! Basically you take off the lid, add water up to the mark, add a few drops of essential oils (I already had some tea tree oil and olbas oil), pop the lid on! Then press a small button which changes the colour of the lights and the other button starts the diffuser and the gorgeous scent begins to fill the room! I love it! So easy and so clean! The olbas oil is perfect if you are a bit congested as it helps clear the airways! Plus you can choose which smell you want by buying different essential oils eg lavender, eucalyptus etc! 💕
- When I was home in May, I spotted this absolute gem at my parents house. A gorgeous organic room mist by Neom Organics. This spray contains lavender, jasmine and Brazilian rosewood, and it smells divine. It comes in a lovely glass bottle and can be used to spray in any room, as a bathroom spray, or as a pillow/bedding spray- it's very versatile! A lovely product 💕
