Crazy for Candles

Another snow day today! New England weather has been crazy lately. We got around 3 feet last week, and are expecting another foot today.

One thing that has helped me fight the winter blues is my newfound love for candles! Lately I have been obsessed with coming home after a long day and immediately lighting one. I love the ambiance it creates and how cozy it makes my room.

Living in a college apartment, I don’t have much opportunity to make it my own. Of course I have pictures and decorations everywhere, but there is only so much you can do. Lighting my candle makes me feel at home.

My grandmother always has the most delicious scents filling her house. All of the memories that I have in my grandparent’s house are accompanied by a delicious smell – making them that much sweeter. I hope my house is like that someday.

My favorite scent currently is Yankee Candle’s Red Velvet. It smells like a delicious dessert!

Right now I have Yankee Candle’s Gingerbread Candle going – one of my other winter favorites.

Gingerbread

A few other favorites include Hot Buttered Rum (Made by my Grandmother’s craft business, The Pumpkin Patch), Vanilla Cupcake, and Luscious Plum.

I’m hoping that I can pick up a few Bath and Body Works candles during their next sale – I have heard great reviews about these. They also come in the cutest decorative jars. You can check out their selection here.

Enjoy this wonderful Monday!
