When I was 22 my gay guy gallery owner boss made me drive around Los Ćngeles for hours looking for this candle to light at an opening. He had me buy four of them with my own card and didnāt pay me back for weeks which was unreal.
All annoyances aside - this really is the best smelling candle of all time. The scent is so subtle - wood, resin, honey, tobacco. I only buy it once a year because itās so expensive, but I truly luxuriate in its scent for the 60 hours it burns.
Candles are one of the things I feel like itās worth paying the big bucks for - youāre inhaling it! Itās infusing your living space!

Truly the best smelling candles Iāve ever had. The sexiest, most luxe, $$$ scent. This is like when you walk into an 5-star hotel and wonder what they have burning to make it smell that good. And itās a small, woman-owned, business. I know the price is steep at $42, so if youāre looking for a great gift or something nice for yourself this is a real treat. Love the Night of Joy, Weekend Lover, and Saint Enzo scentsāyou canāt go wrong. When Iām done with the candles I clean them out and use them as cocktail glasses.

classic, a little expensive for a candle but worth it. treat yourself to the luxury of a immaculate smelling room if you donāt have a fireplace.

Lighting a really good scented candle can turn a slump into a beautiful day for me. I like having only one fancy one on the go at a time so that it becomes the scent memory of that moment. Iām currently still burning through St Evalās Inspiritus From Christmas, itās one of my all time favourites, it smells like churches at Christmas.

āIām always worried that Iām not reading enough or not reading the right things. Creating a set of laws about how and what I read that has no relationship to my immediate impulses or desires helps me feel like Iām making progress through everything I want to absorb. For the past four years itās looked like this:
Iām always reading three books: one novel, one non-fiction book thatās mostly about information I want to learn about, and one collection of short stories or essays.
I read 50 pages of the novel. Then 50 pages of non-fiction. Then 50 pages of novel. Then 50 pages of the collection. Even if Iām really engrossed, I switch after 50 pages.
Maybe this sounds psychotic but it works for me and makes sure a more challenging read doesnāt bog me down.
I also have a system about when I read a book I just bought and when I read a book Iāve had for a long time and when I read a book thatās old and when I read a book that was written right nowā¦. yikes
Anything to keep the anxiety at bay

āļøI donāt know how Josh found this exactly but itās one hour of Christian new wave and full of some of the most haunting songs ever. Introduced me to one of my favorite albums rn (āEmotional Touristā by Steve Scott) along with tons of other singular tunes. It makes me feel like driving around in the dark. I heard it for the first time four years ago and I still listen to it all the time.
