Burn Soy Candles...choose natural soy candles over petroleum-based paraffin. BECAUSE: Paraffin emits 11 toxins; soy doesn't.
HOWEVER: Please be careful anytime you burn candles; BECAUSE:
• 38 percent of home candle fires start in
bedrooms, and cause 35 percent of
associated deaths.***
• More than half of all candle home fires
start because the candle was too close to
a combustible material. Candle fires often
start when items like mattresses, bedding,
curtains, cabinetry, or furniture are
ignited.***
• Unsupervised children are involved in 20
percent of home candle fires.***
• The number of home fires the American
Red Cross has responded to has risen
10% since 2000.*

Loves and Hugs...Really...I do not like candles...and that's a fact!
