    When people picture a well decorated room, there is almost always in candle somewhere in the design. Candles are one of the most common decorating accessories, yet we give them so little thought. They use candles as splashes of color or wonderful scents to our spaces all the time without thinking about what makes a good candle or how can I get the most out of my candle.
    In this episode Meghan visits Yankee Candle Company to get to the bottom of all the candle basics. From how to properly smell a candle to how to prevent soot stains, you'd be surprised how much there really is to know about the common candle.
