Safety Saturdays!

Women love candles.

It's true. It's such a girly thing to like candles, but yet so many non-girly women I know also like candles. Candles are a ubiquitous hostess gift. They are used to create a soft glow, a romantic ambiance, a relaxing bath, and so many other reasons.

But most of us are bad about leaving the room "for just a minute" with a candle lit.

I am so bad about that. I do love candles though, they were the staple item that I HAD TO HAVE for our wedding! Thanks for stopping by my blog!

I'll admit, I did it last night. I ran up the stairs to grab something & ran back down - knowing it's bad to leave the room. I was only out of site of the candle for literally 10 seconds - you can see the candle from the stairs. However, when I got back down, it occurred to me how that was a silly decision. It takes one second to blow the candles out and another 5 to 10 seconds to relight the candles (they were four tea lights in a candle holder). So the next time I left the room, I blew the candles out then relit them later.

I am guilty of this for sure, thanks for the tip!
