I want… scented soy candles

Like a lot of ladies, I’m very fond of candles.  They add a lovely warm ambience to any room, they’re relaxing, the flickering glow is mesmerising, and if you buy scented candles they make the room smell gorgeous (always handy if you’ve got pets, like I have).

One of my friends on UK Business Forums – a great place to network, if you’re in business or about to start one – was telling me today about her products.  And guess what?  Funmi sells soy candles.  They’re better for the environment because they’re biodegradable and come from nice natural sources (i.e. soy oil, extracted from soy beans).  They burn longer than paraffin based candles, don’t give off that icky smell that you get from ordinary candles, and the scent lasts a lot longer.  Even better, they don’t leave a nasty waxy residue on your walls like ordinary candles do.

Personally I think they’re a fab idea, and next time I go web-shopping I may just have to stock up.  All the fragrances sound delicious, but the one that’s top of my wish list is the autumn spice soy candle, which sounds absolutely heavenly (mmmm, cinnamon – my favourite!)

So if you’re wondering what to get me for Christmas… now you know!
