    I am not fond of open flames due to having a flat fire in 1983.

    I don’t have a home, but would it count if I set a tree on fire?

    I wish there were. I love candles and I am about out, so I am saving what I can till I can get more good ones, hope it is soon and anyone is welcome to send them to me……I love them.
    I would even take some incense for occasion some smell good too, I Love eucalyptus and remember I don’t for drugs and not trying to cover that smell. Everyone be sure to be careful with candles and the fire.======

    None at the moment….

    None, I hope. Only my cats are home right now, and I wouldn’t trust them with a candle. XD

    I have thee on my table, though, that I never burn because they’re too pretty, one on the bar in the kitchen and one in my living room.

    I have several 4ft tall standing black wrought iron candlel labras in my living room and a 23 candled hanging chandlier above dinning room table, 4 in my kitchen, 8 in my bedroom and 1 in the bathroom. Candles are all white, however, non are lit at this moment because it’s only 10:30 in the morning.
    Although I have 3 plain white candles on a corner coffee table I leave lit usually all day when i’m home, those are currently burning they are the 7 day candles/ And yes I do love candles~
    Have a wonderful day!

    I have about 30 total in my living room, dining and kitchen. I have 3 roommates and 2 dogs so they are needed for better smell. I burn probably 6 at a time. Usually caramel scent…

    Right now, just one candle is burning and it is in the bedroom with me because that is where our computer is located. I really do love scented candles, and especially the soy-based ones, because I think that they last so much longer. Plus soy-based candles are supposed to burn a lot cleaner than paraffin candles, although I do
    have both kinds of candles on hand.
    I have a closet in our teenage son’s computer room (also seasonal clothes tend to be stored in that closet) and when a store has candles on sale and they are about 60 - 70 % off, I go and tend to stock up big time. I reserve two shelves for candles of all sizes, but the ones I tend to burn least of all are the votives because within one hour, they usually tend to burn out.
    I like the big candles that burn at least forty hours or longer. My absolute favorite candle smell is….gardenia. Lol. But you probably could guess that, Sweet Judy. Right now, I am burning a leftover
    gingerbread candle from Christmas, and I love the smells of foods and flowers like blueberry muffin, pumpkin pie, apple cinnamon, black cherry, plumeria, eucalyptus, mulberry, warm sugar vanilla, hot mulled cider, peony, honeysuckle, or jasmine, and during the holidays, I tend to burn whatever is in “season” that smells mostly like home cooking or freshly cut Christmas trees, snowy nights, or peppermint.
    For the teenager’s room and bathroom, I usually tend to burn very strong, citrus smelling candles to keep his areas from smelling like
    sweaty socks or a locker room. Our son takes lots of showers, but when he and his friends go outside, run around playing football, basketball, and other sports, sometime they will all come inside our house to get some bottled water and to cool off. Especially on warm days, I do not like the ‘not-so-fresh’ smell of young men until after they have taken their daily allotments of showers and I will usually burn candles in the “men’s” restroom, as well as the boy’s bedroom. Occasionally, the boys will smell like ‘wet dogs’ which is another funky smell I do not like. So, as well as candles, I tend to go through lots of Lavender-Vanilla air freshener and Febreze to neutralize the smell of teenage boys with sweaty socks and feet to always keep my house smelling fresh and clean.
    I have about three or four candles that I will not burn because they
    have all of the pretty flowers inside the candles, so they are for looks and not for burning, just as someone else mentioned above.

    Zero, still at work.

    I usually keep 2-3.

    None burning right now, but I have many!

    Judy, I can’t go a day without my candles. There’s just something about candles that can sooth me like nothing else.

    To be honest, I will spend more money on candles than anything else. I’m not a very materialistic person but I will go over- board when buying candles. lol

    It’s about 10:00pm here and I have 6 candles burning.

    I have two burning in my bathroom and three in the livingroom where I am currently on my laptop. The other is in my kitchen.

    I love taking a nice hot bath with my candles glowing.

    That’s when I’m at my most relaxed.
