Spending New Year's Eve at home with your loved one? If so, you'll want to set the mood with candles, but that's hard to do when you know that many candles emit toxins. There are healthier candles on the market, however, and one brand is GoodLight natural candles. These unscented candles offer tea lights that burn up to five hours, votives that burn up to 15 hours, and you can get pillars and order these eco-friendly candles by the case.
And these are not the fancy, scented candles that inundate our retail shops nationwide. What there aren’t enough of are unscented utility candles that are priced to compete with petroleum-based paraffin candles that are polluting your air and your lungs with their poisonous fumes. There are countless restaurants across the U.S. that burn 20 or 30 or 100 of these candles in their dining rooms every night, and that’s not good for the health of their guests or their staff. It’s not that these restaurants’ owners are being negligent, it’s that they either don’t know that paraffin fumes are linked to cancer, or that there hasn’t been an alternative candle that fits into their budget.
Paraffin free, lead free, non-toxic clean burning, eco-friendly ... yes, you do have to watch what you get on the market, and with GoodLight natural candles, you can feel safe to focus on the romance at hand and the New Year coming your way. Hopefully, the world will continue to focus on healthier alternatives to living, and starting the New Year by candlelight that doesn't emit toxins is a great start to 2012 -- and to breathe easier, because you do breathe what you burn.
