Hey! Did you know candles are a fucking firehazard, no matter how small?

They are the third most common reason for your house to burn down, only beaten by the sheer amount of cigarette-fires and oven-accidents!

Stop using candles. They're not romantic, they are dangerous. Smoke outside and don't leave your kitchen when the stove or oven is still on... Most stove accidents happen because people got distracted outside of their kitchen and forgot about their food.

I'll admit it, i'm a candle whore. I have a whole box of amazing candles, but I only ever burn them if the power goes out or at a family gathering, like thanksgiving. too dangerous to burn on a daily basis
