Hello Friendships!
I absolutely adore candles. They smell good, they're pretty to look at, they can set the mood for a romantic dinner, and they can shine some light when the power goes out in a storm. I always have candles lit in my home because I like the subtle way their scent fills up a room.
I am a little candle crazy however. Candles can be quite pricey, especially when you buy the large jar candles. So what I do is I buy when there is a sale. My go-to brand is Yankee Candle. I feel like they have the biggest variety of scents, styles, sizes, accessories, and holiday themes. Usually the sale that I wait for is the buy one get one on large jars because you save the most money, and you can use the coupon up to three times.
The candle that I am absolutely obsessed with right now is Soft Blanket from Yankee Candle. It smells so good! It is a really pretty white, kind of pearlescent colored candle. The picture is of a cozy blanket with a teddy bear snuggled up in it. You know, the kind of teddy bear that reminds you of childhood. It's scent is hard to pinpoint, but I do get a slight hint of vanilla. To me, it smells like that old family blanket draped over the couch in the den that everyone fights over when it's chilly. It's fragrance is very relaxing, soft and subtle, so I have it in a two wick candle so that it fills my whole bedroom. I have it lit whenever I am just lounging around in my bedroom, and always when I am getting ready for sleep. It calms my day and helps me get ready for some peaceful dreaming.
My favorite bedside candle! Is there any better way to end a day than with the perfect scent?
Another candle that I am loving this autumn season is Welcome Harvest by Yankee Candle. It's a beautiful burnt orange candle with a strong fragrance. It pictures a bunch of pumpkins, all different sizes, shapes, and colors. It's scent is pumpkin, but not that overbearing pumpkin smell that gives you a headache. It has a hint of cinnamon and spice that I feel really fills the scent out. It reminds me of autumn back in Connecticut because it makes me feel warm and cozy when the air gets a little crisp and chilled. I keep this in the family room and light it constantly. I picked it up in the beginning of September, and it's already time to buy a new one since it is down to the very bottom.
My home smells like delicious pumpkin spice!
The last candle I want to talk about is our guest room candle. It is November Rain by (yep, you guessed it) Yankee Candle. I found this candle in the summer time and put off buying it until September because I just couldn't start autumn things when I was still going to the beach to tan. Since we don't usually use our guest room, I rarely light it. However, Brian's family is coming for Thanksgiving and his sister will be staying with us so it will finally be able to burn and be enjoyed. This candle is a very pretty blue. It is very strong, so I have it in a single wick. It sort of smells like men's cologne with a little bit of soap or lotion with it. Although it is strong, it's not overpowering to the senses. It's a very nice, clean scent. It pictures a beautiful path covered in fallen leaves from the surrounding trees and wet from the rain. If I could find this picture a lot bigger (or if I had any painting talent. Spoiler, I don't) I would frame it and hang it on my wall.
Everything about this candle is amazing; color, scent, and picture!
I do buy candles from other shoppes also besides Yankee Candle. Bath and Body Works has some great scents like Fireside, Sweater Weather, and Leaves. Another great place to buy candles is Bass Pro Shop, believe it or not. And of course I do love a great bargain, so I always check out what Target has in their candle section, as well as TJ Maxx, Old Time Pottery, and Walmart. You never know when or where you'll find your next favorite candle!
