If you light one candle this holiday season, let it be a Bijou candle. I’ll tell you why. Years ago, when our kitchen was remodeled, my husband and I noticed a soot-like film on the walls. We quickly ruled out a gas leak, which wasn’t just a dirty wall. Little did I know that the […]

According to the Centers for Disease […]

The Color Purple
