Parting Ways with an Old Flame
With their diverse range of scrumptious scents and vibrant colors, candles add a special ambience to interior space. The flickering flame possesses a hypnotic power that seems to underscore relaxation before all other priorities. But candles require close vigilance; without someone in the room to monitor them, potentially dangerous situations could result. If you’re performing a household task that takes up most of your attention, but you don’t want to sacrifice that pleasant candle fragrance, consider tarts.
Tart warmers melt and collect wax in an entirely safe way, providing the same aromatherapy benefits of candles without the flame. An electric tart warmer heats the wax with a small, low-powered bulb. Tarts boast the added advantage of recyclability; once the wax cools, it can be melted over and over again.
