Scented candles
Every time I go to the store, the scented candles aisle really smells soothing and relaxing.

So if I bought all the candles of the most soothing scent and put them around my house, would they make the whole place smell good? :D

4. I love them but,
I'm not allowed to burn candles or incense in my room. It's a "fire hazard".

(Actually, I have some slight pyromaniac tendenices, so maybe that rule isn't such a bad idea.)

6. Chronoligically, I'm 35. Emtoionally, I'm 12. Mentally, I'm
1,258 because I never like leaving home with anything made from China plugged in, much less using matches... I keep fire extinguishers everywhere.

7. I like the smell, but that smell is from particulate pollution
So I certainly wouldn't want it in my house, certainly not more than occasionally. Then I'd want to air out the house.

Air pollution inside the house can and frequently is worse than outside.

8. Yep.
I use scented candles a lot. A diffuser is better, though. No risk of fire.
