I used to burn oils when I had a dog but haven't for a few years. Now I have little boys it is a bit worrying to burn but I had it going while they weren't here and it smelt devine. It wasn't overpowering like oils and lasts for so long I was amazed. It is still here a few days later so I wouldn't need to have something burning constantly. I would love to send a few for Christmas and can't wait to pick them out.

I just love the scent of beautiful soaps and candles.
I would just love to have my home smelling of beautiful scents instead of dirty shoes, socks, clothes and the pets we own that seem to always find a sneaky way of getting in my home and either chewing stuff or just jumping onto the kids beds and making a mess of everything especially tearing up tissues.

Circa Home products are absolutely beautiful. They are reasonably priced and the scent range is very big. I love the diffusers - I have them in my bathrooms and in the wardrobes - they make the clothes smell absolutely fabulous! I also have one in my living room and one in my husband's man cave (hidden up high - to get rid of the terrible 'man smells' that are created in there!)

Aromas from circa products are pure and smell divine.
i have been given circa candles for many occasions birthdays christmas etc and they always amaze me the way they smell and spread the beautiful aroma around the room is incredible! Yes they can be very extremely expensive but it's worth the money if you do want a beautiful sent throughout your home. I think they are also a type of aromatherapy for the home. I always use essential oils but now i'll either use oils or the candle because the candles are just as effective. If I was buying a candle or anything scented for a friend i would go circa for sure.

I was given a Circa Home Vanilla & Cocoa Butter candle for Christmas and I love it.
Not usually a fan of candles as I tend to find them overpowering and sometimes irritating, I was surprised by this one. With it's subtle fragrance, I find this is great for relaxing in the bath or just to give our home a lovely, inviting fragrance. It's been hot here this week and even without lighting the candle it smells divine. I have this on my 'wishlist' for my birthday and have also hinted that I would love to try the Cara Cara Orange candle for a fresh, citrusy scent.

I am totally in love with my Circa House candles and diffusers. My favourite scents are the Blackberry & Saffron and the Rockmelon. The Blackberry and Saffron is a really elegant scent which gives my living room a sense of warmth and calm. Where as the Rockmelon is a funky fresh flavour that makes me want to eat it! My kitchen smells absolutely amazing.
Compared to other products on the market, Circa House is great value for money with a product that you will actually smell.
A fantastic product that I highly recommend for gifts or as a special treat for yourself.

The Narcissus & Patchouli Circa Home scented candle is my favorite candle. I love burning candles day or night. Especially when friends come around. I burn them in the bathroom, toilet and living areas. I always burn one in the caravan. Even when the candle is not lit, the aroma escapes and makes my caravan smell beautiful. I always keep a couple on hand for presents. Made in Australia is a bonus too!

Circa candles make my home smell nice and inviting
I have only used the circa home candles. I have used a few different scents and they have all left my home smelling fresh and inviting. I also find the candles are not too strong especially if u have kids or people with sensitivity to smells. I have had a few friends ask me what candles am I burning in my home as soon as they walked in the door, and that gives me a good feeling knowing my house doesn't smell of bad odours.

I love Circa Home candles. I have always had candles in my house but never really used them much until I got my Circa Home candles. They smell divine, even when they are not being burnt. I pop the lid off and there is a beautiful subtle fragrance. When burnt the candles have an even more lovely aroma. They are not too overpowering and they make the house smell and feel wonderful.

Overall these products are ok. I have never been a huge fan of soy candles though. This candle did have a lot more fragrance compared to other soy candles I have tried. I did enjoy the soap, this was a great product, lathered extremely well and was a refreshing smell. I would not purchase again however is great for people who enjoy soy products.

I absolutely LOVE my circa home candle. It has the best and strongest scent which has not diminished after many uses. The only downside would be that it can sometimes give me a headache it is so strong. I can only use it for small amount of time, however i still love it. Go figure.

These products are DIVINE!! I have bought some candles for myself, and one as a gift for my friend for her birthday. The smell the candles emit when lit is just divine and it lingers in the air. I have bought many scented candles in my time, that smell beautiful but when lit, they dont really give off a scent...these wont disappoint!!!!

Circa candles have lit our Christmas dinner table and our home for two years now and I am pleased to say that they always fetch me loads of compliments on how beautiful my home smells. Not only do they smell gorgeous but they look stunning too and have a long burn time. I give them for gifts at Christmas and on Birthdays - I would definitely recommend Circa Candles to anyone looking for quality candles.

‘Trust Your Intuition’: How To Advocate For Your Child In Hospital
Mother’s instinct is a funny thing. At home, we trust it without question. But put us in a hospital setting with an unwell child, surrounded by doctors, nurses and monitors, and suddenly we start doubting ourselves.
What if I’m overreacting? What if I’ve got it wrong?
So we stay quiet, even when we know something just isn’t right with our child. I’ve been there myself – when my usually ‘tough’ son was doubled over with stomach pain. I was told in the emergency department that it probably wasn’t his appendix. But I knew he wouldn’t have begged me to take him to hospital unless it was serious. Because I know him better than anyone. Turns out, it was appendicitis.
It’s a really common place for parents to land. You’re grateful for the care your child is getting, but at the same time, you feel this huge responsibility to speak up if something doesn’t feel right.
Here’s the thing though: that instinct you’re feeling? It matters more than you might think.
Why your gut feeling matters more than you realise
According to Paediatric Nurse Unit Manager, Canterbury Hospital, Leticia Jackson, parents bring something to the hospital that no test or machine ever could.
“Parents often say they ‘just know’ when something isn’t quite right with their child, and in a hospital, that gut feeling is incredibly valuable,” she explains.
Leticia Jackson, Paediatric Nurse Unit Manager, Canterbury Hospital
While medical teams rely on observations, tests and equipment, parents know the little details. The way your child usually smiles. How they react when they’re tired. What’s normal for them.
So when something feels “off”, even if everything looks okay on paper, it can actually be an early warning sign.
“When parents trust those instincts and speak up, this creates a powerful partnership that can sometimes catch a problem before it becomes an emergency,” Leticia says.
Worried about speaking up? You’re not alone
A lot of parents hesitate about advocating for their child.
You don’t want to come across as difficult. You don’t want to question the people caring for your child. And sometimes, you just don’t feel confident enough to push the issue.
Leticia gets it.
“It is completely understandable for parents to feel hesitant,” she says. “No one wants to be seen as difficult or to second-guess the hardworking people caring for their child.”
But here’s a helpful way to look at it: you’re not challenging the medical team, you’re helping them.
Parents are the constant. Staff change shifts, care for multiple patients, and rely on snapshots of information. You’re there the whole time, noticing the subtle changes.
“Our medical team doesn’t view a concerned parent as overreactive, but as a partner,” Leticia explains. “Your voice matters.”
Remember, we know our children better than anyone.
What to do if you’re worried: the Raise It process
If you’re in a NSW public hospital or health service and you’re worried about you or your child’s condition getting worse, there is a clear process you can follow called Raise It.
Raise It is designed to help patients, carers and family members get help fast if they’re worried about a change in their loved one’s condition.
Here’s how it works:
Talk: Start by speaking to a nurse, midwife, doctor or health worker about your concerns.
Ask: Still worried? Ask to speak to the nurse or midwife in charge and request a Clinical Review.
Call: If you’re still concerned, you can escalate further using the Raise It process to get urgent attention from a senior health worker.
You don’t need medical knowledge. You don’t need to be certain. If you feel something isn’t right, or your child is getting worse, Raise It. You just need to speak up.
What should you actually look out for?
Sometimes it’s not one big, obvious sign. It can be small, subtle changes that just don’t sit right.
Things like:
Changes in breathing (fast, laboured or noisy)
Skin looking pale, mottled, or developing unusual rashes
Your child being unusually drowsy, floppy, or hard to wake
Confusion or behaviour that’s out of character
Pain that isn’t improving with treatment
Or simply that feeling that your child is getting worse
And sometimes, it’s just that gut feeling you can’t explain.
That’s enough.
“You are helping us, not bothering us”
If there’s one message Leticia wants parents to take away, it’s that you aren’t bothering the medical team, you’re helping them.
“In my years as a Nurse Unit Manager, I can say with absolute certainty that many critical changes in a child’s condition have been identified first by a parent. While our clinical staff are highly skilled at performing regular observations and interpreting data, parents are the only constant presence who truly know their child’s baseline behaviour, personality, and what is normal for them.
“I have seen numerous instances where a parent’s insistence that their child is “just not themselves” – despite vital signs appearing relatively stable – has prompted a deeper clinical review that uncovered everything from early signs of sepsis to a life-threatening respiratory crisis.”
The Raise It process exists because healthcare teams know how important parents are in keeping children safe.
“Speaking up doesn’t mean you don’t trust the team,” she says. “It means you’re partnering with us to make sure nothing gets missed.”
And if you’re still worried about being judged?
“Whether your concern turns out to be something or nothing, your instinct to raise it is always valid.”
You should never second guess yourself when it comes to yours or your childs health- or anyones for that matter. Go with your thoughts. It is natural to want to protect a loved one especially when it comes to health situations, and the feeling you get when you think you didnt do enough to advocate or fight for them…it is not a kind or nice way to feel. Many people have ended up being heartbroken and picking up pieces for years because of feeling they didnt do enough.
A very good and informative article. I have read so many stories about mums just knowing when things are not right and demanding second and third opinions until they got the right answer. Sometimes mums just know. It is our job as care takers of our families. Listen to your gut!
Years ago, I spoke up for my 14-year-old daughter, but my concerns weren’t fully listened to. I’ve always wished I had pushed harder. She was sent home without much testing, and two days later, she passed away.
So, if you ever have concerns—no matter how minor—please speak up and keep advocating. Trust your instincts; they are there for a reason.
This is so important for parents to know how to raise it further if they don’t think their child is receiving the medical support they need! I know this article refers to the NSW system but other systems have similar procedures just with different names. I know in QLD it’s called Ryan’s Rule.
It’s so important to follow your gut instincts and express your concerns indeed. I have never hesitated to advocate for my children in various situations and I don’t care what other people think about it. Not all doctors and medical staff appreciate it when you question them, I’ve experienced that it may result in angry indignant responses.
How true this is! While nurses and doctors are the medical professionals doing their job on the daily, we know our children better than anyone and what is ‘normal’ for them. I would always speak up if I had noticed any changes in my child’s health and encourage other parents to do so too. No question is silly!
This really is such an important issue and a good topic to discuss with people, I am often surprised that people are worried about being judged. This is not something I care about; the priority is for the care and health of everyone is my family. Parents know their children and need to work with health professionals for the best outcomes for their children.
This is such an important issue to raise, and no one should ever feel ashamed, nervous or that they are being OTT for advocating for their kids, themselves or loves ones in hospital. In QLD we have Ryan’s Rule. A three step process where your concern will be escalated if they believe the patients condition isn’t improving or is worsening.
I have never been afraid to advocate for my children and partner and extended family and also friends. It is so important to listen and to trust intuition. When people have not listened, I have persevered and kept on with insisting on care and making sure they truly listened and took action.
