Advantages to Warming a Candle VS. Burning a Candle
Candles are a great way to fill your home with fragrance. But is it safe to burn a candle? Here at Candle Warmers Etc. we believe that warming a candle from the top down with Candle Warming Lamps and Lanterns is an excellent way to use a candle. And we are going to tell you why.
1. No Soot. The smoke from a burning candle creates toxic fumes and can leave soot on walls or furniture. Warming a candle melts the wax from the warmth of the bulb so there is no soot produced.
2. No Flame. Lighting a candle creates a fire hazard. An electric top-down candle warmer reduces the risk of fire because there is no flame.
3. Longer Lasting Fragrance. When burning a candle with a flame, the wax evaporates more quickly than when the wax is melted by a warming bulb. This means that melting your candle with a lamp or lantern can make it last up to 3 times longer.
4. Instant Fragrance. Our lamps and lanterns use a warming bulb that warms the candles from the top down. The warmth of the bulb almost instantly starts to melt the wax, immediately releasing the fragrance.
5. Ambiance of a Lit Candle. The warm glow of the warming bulb creates a flame-like ambiance so it still feels and looks like you have a lit candle in the room.
Get the most out of those expensive candles with our candle warming lamps and lanterns. Choose the perfect one for your home today at Candle Warmers Etc.
Why is Soy Wax Better?
When choosing candles and wax melts, fragrance shouldn’t be the only thing you look for. Wax products can be made with a variety of different types of wax which can affect the performance of their fragrance.
Candle Warmers Etc. uses 100% soy wax in our candles, Artisan Wax Melts, and Aromatherapy Wax Mets which sets our products apart from the competition.
Why choose soy wax?
1.Soy wax is all-natural.
Our soy wax is a plant-based material that is renewable, is sustainably sourced, and grown in the U.S.A. that provides a clean burn.
2. Soy wax emits less soot.
A paraffin candle when burned will emit more soot than a soy candle. It can discolor the candle jar and sometimes get on your furniture and walls.
3.Soy wax releases fewer toxins.
Paraffin wax releases 11 known toxins with two of those being carcinogens. Soy wax is biodegradable and does not contain any toxins and carcinogens. Soy wax is better for your home, your family and the environment.
4.Soy wax burns longer.
Soy wax burns about 30-50% longer than paraffin. When burning a soy candle, be sure to keep the wick trimmed and only burn the candle no more than four hours at a time.
5.Soy wax has a lower melting point.
Soy wax has a lower melting point than paraffin wax which makes it the perfect wax for wax melts. This makes it easier to melt our wax melts in warmers to release the fragrance faster than other brands. The wax is at a cooler temperature when melted so it’s safer to have in your home.
6.Soy wax supports American farmers.
The United States is the world’s greatest producer of soybeans, and our soy candles and wax melts are made from crops grown here in the U.S.A. Buying our soy wax products helps support farmers and workers in the United States.

5 Cottagecore Home Decorating Ideas
A cottage core home has the feeling of a rustic cottage in the countryside. It’s a simple way of decorating using simple and clean pieces. It is reminiscent of the past and creates a cozy atmosphere. It has a strong focus on softness and comfort. Today we are sharing with you 5 ideas on how you can incorporate this style in your own home, with items you might already have.
Now close your eyes and imagine yourself in a cozy cottage nestled in a fairy forest and listening to the babbling of a nearby brook.
1. Choose your flooring wisely.
Starting from the bottom up and updating your floor using materials that give the floors a weathered look is the first step. You can find many options that are cost-effective and still give the worn and textured look that you are going for. Go for a rustic wood with lots of texture or a tile that looks worn and scuffed.
2. Lean toward furniture pieces that are natural
When it comes to furniture for your cottage core home, go for items that are natural wood, soft colors, and vintage. Using natural-looking fabrics with plaid or floral prints for throw pillows will create that cozy cottage feeling. Use several prints and textures together to add a touch of whimsy.
3. Cottagecore accents
When it comes to accents for your cottagecore home, look for thrifted, second hand pieces. Using nature scented candles with a candle warmer helps to bring the outside, in. Try to use fragrances like pine, floral, or fruity to give the feeling of fresh, clean spring air.
Bring in a variety of houseplants to help bring nature inside. Climbing vines and trees are a great way to add an organic feel to your space. Hang dried herbs and flowers to help with the organic vibe.
4. Color palette for cottagecore
When it comes to paint choices for cottagecore, choose a soft, neutral palette for the walls. Stick with warm wood tones or creamy shades of white or gray. You can always add pops of color by painting furniture with earth tones.
5. Don’t forget the outdoors
Carrying the concept of cottagecore to your outdoor space helps to create a seamless transition from the outdoors. Use your outdoor spaces to create a refuge for wildlife with birdhouses, hummingbird feeders, and a birdbath. Use beautiful shrubs and trees along with wildflowers that grow naturally in your area to create a native-looking home.
It’s easy to create a comfortable, vintage, and cozy cottage getaway right in your own home thanks to the cottagecore decorating style!

Set the Mood
Fresh Flowers: Having a fresh bouquet in the house makes it feel like a special occasion
Lighting: Set a romantic mood with some below-eye-level lighting, instead of overhead lighting. Use a candle or wax warmer instead of candles to reduce fire hazard and indoor air pollution. Choose a mild wax fragrances so it doesn’t interfere with your meal

After-Dinner Drinks: Turn a meal into an event with 4 full courses (appetizers, entrees, dessert, and drinks). After dessert, you can have some good wine, or you can warm up with some hot chocolate or espresso in festive mugs
