I love candles. I can’t walk by a display in the store without stopping to snort every single scent. It is my version of legal addictive stimulants.

But with all the talk about how harmful candles’ toxins are, I have stopped burning them. That is why I was delighted to stumble upon Scentsy at The Colorado Women’s Expo. Already a hit in many states, Scentsy is currently launching in Colorado (and is looking for enthusiastic consultants). This company is pioneering the move away from the smoky, sooty candles to a safe, healthy, fun and creative alternative.

Scentsy offers more than 80 high-quality fragrances delivered in a variety of ways. A secret combination of ingredients is used to create a pool of melted wax, which is transformed into a wickless candle bar. Only the finest scented oils are hand-picked to give an array of aromas. The melted wax is poured into reusable containers for easy storage.

Scentsy warmers are specifically designed to melt Authentic Scentsy Bars into a wax pool that throws the maximum amount of fragrance over the longest period of time. Scentsy Warmers melt wax at a lower temperature so there is never any danger of burning children or pets. With dozens of colors and styles to choose from, there is a Scentsy Warmer to fit every decor.

I have burned my Scentsy with the delicious bamboo pear fragrance every day and it is amazing how the ambiance has changed with such a great-smelling candle.
