I bought some candles over the weekend from AWSOM and OMG they are the best by far I havr ever burned. I have been to tons of partylite partys. I have spent ons of money on yankee candles. Anyway these candles beat them by far hands down. One candle and my whole house in 5 minutes scented! Anyways just wanted to pass on the good news for my fellow candle lovers out there!

Thanks a bunch. I'm glad you like them. There $6.00 a candle. Right now I have strawberry, vinyard and I am making Angle food cake. I have some fall scents that should be here soon. Let me know anyone wants some..danielle danielle@awsom.us 

buggaboo --- 16 years ago -

The scents she had last weekend were vineyard and strawberry and she's working on a new batch of angelfood cake. They are only 6.00! Ohhh and the cleanest burning candle Ive ever burned!

I won't burn them b/c they are parrafin. I don't want my family breathing in toxic air. Especially my son. Nothing against the people who make them, b/c they probably don't know that. 

buggaboo --- 16 years ago -

Just pm her (AWSOM) and ask what scents she has available. She makes batches of them at a time. 

Cort --- 16 years ago -

What is parrafin? 

CourtesyFlush --- 16 years ago -

What is parrafin? Parrafin is a wax that is derivative of crude oil. 

AWSOM11 --- 16 years ago -

I look into the parrafin wax and Soy wax. There has been many test done and it is not a danger. I wouldn't not burn candles that would put my family in danger. 

buggaboo --- 16 years ago -

I know cheap candles leave black soot all over and these candles are the cleanest burning Ive ever lite. 

CourtesyFlush --- 16 years ago -

I look into the parrafin wax and Soy wax. There has been many test done and it is not a danger. Depends on where you read. You will notice most websites that sell only parrafin claim it is not. I find unbiased sources that say it is.

Well dont send your family outside you dont want them breathing in pollution either. 

CourtesyFlush --- 16 years ago -

Well dont send your family outside you dont want them breathing in pollution either. That is something I cannot control. My indoor air quality I can.

Some information for anyone who is interested... Candles have been used for thousands of years to create ambiance, light, warmth, and fragrance. Most candles are made of paraffin wax due to their cost effectiveness in using a petroleum by-product. The main health concern with traditional paraffin wax candles is that the properties of paraffin wax, a derivative of crude oil, as well as the metal core wicks traditionally used are polluting our homes. The EPA states that indoor air quality is 3 times more polluted than outdoor air quality. Paraffin contributes substantially to the decline in indoor air quality and begs for a healthier alternative. Choosing Soy Soy has become the healthier alternative! In recent years, soy and vegetable wax has been culminated and implemented in candle development. Soy wax components are completely non-toxic, unlike its competitor, paraffin wax, which emits 11 toxins documented by the American Lung Association, 2 of which are known carcinogens–toluene and benzene. Additionally, paraffin candles release petrol-carbon soot, which emanates from a burning candle damaging walls and furnishings. This soot penetrates not only furnishings, but air ducts as well, spreading fine particles of soot throughout the home. Tens of thousands of dollars worth of damage have been reported due to this petrol-carbon soot. HomeownerÂ’s insurance companies are now investigating whether to cover the damage from soot produced by paraffin candles as mentioned on Insure.com. Soy vs Paraffin SOY Soy wax is made from soybeans and vegetables, both renewable resources. Soy wax burns much cleaner and purer as it is all natural, non-toxic, and non-hazardous. This wax is biodegradable leading to reduced landfills. Soy wax residue can be washed away with warm water and soap. Purchasing soy products supports the soy farmers of America, which stimulates our economy and lessens dependence on international resources. PARAFFIN Derived from petroleum, a limited resource The burning of paraffin wax contributes to indoor air contamination by emitting petro-chemicals causing soot deposits and carcinogenic particulate matter. This wax contains petroleum by-products and additives that inhibit biodegradability. Paraffin wax residue is quite troublesome, often impossible, to remove. Purchasing paraffin products not only supports our dependence on this crude oil but also supports an industry riddled with environmental faux pas.

KLW, Thanks for slamming my candles... 

Monster* Mouse --- 16 years ago -

CourtesyFlush --- 16 years ago -

KLW, Thanks for slamming my candles... I'm not slamming your candles. If you look above I said "Nothing against the people who make them, b/c they probably don't know that." I just think more people should know about it.
