Who Am I? Ashley Rose has been a strong believer of new age spirituality, astrology, gemstones, manifestation and meditation for the past five years of her life. Learning about spirituality has been a source of comfort and relief from stress, helping her to cope with the challenges in life. Throughout her spiritual journey, Ashley started to decorate her bedroom into a place that provided her with a sense of ease and relaxation. Crystals, plants, singing bowls, dream catchers, tapestries and scented candles fill her room to provide the ultimate comfort zone. However, Ashley soon realized that all but one of these products sufficed to provide ultimate relaxation; candles. Candles have been one of her favorite aspects of setting the moon for relaxation. They provide the suitable amount of lighting, and their aroma puts many people at ease. However, for a product whose goal is to provide comfort, candles cause multitudes of house fires every year. Ashley noticed that lighting a candle in her room was very necessary to achieve ultimate relaxation, but at the same time, she was not able to fully feel at ease due to having to consistently monitor the candle. Oftentimes, she would fall asleep with a candle lit and wake up hours later to realize she forgot to extinguish it, which could have potentially resulted in a dangerous situation. When it came time to develop an idea for her senior project, Ashley wondered if other individuals have been experiencing the same love/ hate relationship with their candles. 5 | Swick
