Episode 47: Candles ~ a reference guide

If you enjoy home-related content, like Home and Garden television, House Beautiful magazine and DIY websites, you might enjoy the Home Space and Reason podcast. It's an intellectual, uplifting podcast about home functionality, design and automation with a bit of history and psychology. “Home Space and Reason” is kid-friendly and all positive; among Top 100 on U.S. charts. I recommend starting at Ep. 1!

Episode 47 is all about luminaries and candles. From discussing what makes a candle high quality to the care of your candle, you'll enjoy this relaxing episode and you might even end up with your own customized mantra. Candles turn your house into a home. As promised in this episode here is a reference guide to some of the high quality, wonderful candles available.
