I want to come home to my ambient sanctuary- my Home and yea! you can do just that, with Dach Candles!
By Kemi Mobuse - Wednesday, April 13, 2016
At the end of a busy day all I want to do is to relax in my home. I want to be able to easily find somewhere to put my feet up, sip a glass of wine or a cup of tea, ignore the world outside and just be free from any kinds of stress or tension.
I truly believe, as I know you do too, that our houses are not just bricks and mortar or timber and nails; our houses are our homes,places of refuge and places that are close to our hearts.The more love we put into our homes the more welcoming, relaxed and ambient they will feel.
They can also positively influence behaviour, emotions, and overall mental health.hence, so, the way I put my stamp on my surroundings to not only showcase my collective taste but also create a relaxed and welcoming environment in every room of my home is to use scented candles.And you can do just that do, by using Dach Candles!

love scents and the ambiance candles create.
