I’m not sure where the past week has disappeared to but I certainly don’t want it back. I’ve been handling some mini “crises” at work, preparing for a trip, dog sitting a VERY active puppy and just trying to keep the to-do list flowing so I haven’t had time to work on projects or edit photos of ones I’ve done recently. Hopefully this weekend will provide some much needed catch-up time. Until then here’s a quick look at some new wax warmers I got and am really loving.
Long ago the hubs and I made an agreement that I should not have burning candles because I tend to forget them, which is obviously not very safe. So instead I have flameless candles for decorating and wax warmers for scents. I used to have the table top style warmers but have recently moved to the smaller outlet style option because they are easier to clean and don’t take up horizontal space. I like to have a themed warmer in the entry way and loved the simple winter look of the one seen above. It went up before Christmas and will probably stay put until spring officially arrives in Alaska.
This one is in the master bathroom and provides a wonderful glow. It’s the perfect nightlight with just the right amount of light to let you see what you’re doing but not be a shock to tired eyes. The beautiful pattern and metal tone of the finish are an added bonus. Even the hubs commented on how nice it was! Since we were so happy with this style in our bathroom I decided to get one for the hall bath as well.
I originally planned to buy the same one again, but noticed this pattern from another brand on the same shelf and thought it would have a similar glow. It does and the simpler design fits well with the décor in the hall bath better. Now our guests will have plenty of light to see what they’re doing if they need to make a trip to the bathroom in the middle of the night. It also illuminates the little basket of essentials I put out below it which is also helpful.
The first two warmers are from the Better Homes and Garden line at Walmart, but the one in the hall bathroom is from brand called ScentSationals also from Walmart. All three came with toppers for the wax area which give them a cleaner look than the open air ones I’ve had in the past. I choose not to use the topper on the winter version just because the wax bowl isn’t very large so I didn’t want the topper sitting in wax if I put two cubes in, but it works just fine without it. The warmers I had in these locations have since moved to other areas of the house or been sold so it was an efficient change as well.
Sometimes it’s the little things that make a space feel homey and I think these do just that. Do you use wax warmers? If so, I’d love to hear about your experience with them and what your favorite scents are since I’m always testing out new ones each season! 🙂
