i may not be entirely convinced that this is what “reading indoors on a cozy night” is supposed to smell like. however i deeply admire the thought process that brought this candle into existence

i am admittedly a bit crazy about scent in the home. every corner of the apartment has an opportunity for activation: incense and smudge sticks in the bedroom, reed diffuser in the bathroom, a mini candle in the kitchen for when the lack of ventilation makes the stench of burned food linger and choke up the air. sometimes there is ritual involved in these smells, but walking past the big coffee-scented candle in the living room and stopping in my tracks to light it became so second nature to me that i don't even think about it sometimes.
the issue lies in this conundrum: i like the living room to smell nice, but i'm usually just lighting this on my way to the kitchen or my office and won't be on guard to protect all the wood furniture in our home from the flame. so today, i announced to my housemates and our guest: "i'm going to take a shower, and i'm lighting this candle, but now it's your responsibility. keep an eye on it for me."
why? because a living room candle warms up the room with its glow. it's a warmth that just makes sense for this space, dim illumination, with everyone together in a row on a couch that could stand to be longer. and there is something to be said about the trust involved in lighting a candle. everyone in this room knows what i need in our home to make it function for me, and when i tell them to keep an eye on the big candle in the living room, i know they will, for me.

One of the best ways to decorate a room honestly. I think there's something very beautiful and attractive to walking into a room and noticing that whoever is living in it has taken the time to design their room with a layer of scent. It's lovely.
Personally, it just makes me feel so instantly at home, grounds me immediately.
BONUS POINTS if you light them with matches!!! It feels twice as magical and the smell of recently lit matches is delicious ✨✨✨

I love scented candles. Just bought a jammie one!
There’s something about scented candles that’s just magic, right?? They kind of teleport you straight to a freshly baked kitchen or someone's blooming garden. So very deliciously cozy! 🍓🍯
Do you have favourite scents? Are you more of a “light one every night” person. I used to save them for special moments.
But am thinking of giving them out for Halloween's for a special reading 🕯️

so many of my guy friends never have a bag on them and consequently i am frequently the one doling out hand sanitizer/gum and carrying little things for them. luv them and truly happy 2 #provide but it Would be nice if we all carried some things now and then to cover each others’ bases….nowadays i do think more people regardless of gender are bringing bags around for fashion/functionality which is a great trend keep it up ✊(also it doesn’t have to be a big bag!! i don’t like carrying around too much stuff either🙂↕️)
