TiLT: Candles

Confession: I am literally obsessed with candles.

I can’t help it—I love everything about them!  I love that they are fire and therefore keep my room warm (since I’m always cold and my apartment is usually cold as well). I love how the fragrance from a candle can make an entire room smell completely different. I mean, you obviously know you’re sitting in your room, but if you close your eyes and sniff real hard you might imagine you’re on a beach. Or in a forest. Or roasting marshmallows.

My candle love has gotten pretty out of hand over the last few months.  I pretty much exclusively burn Bath and Body Works/Slatkin & Co candles, which makes for some expensive brand loyalty.  I stock up as much as I can when there are sales BUT SOMETIMES THAT ISN’T ENOUGH! If I hear someone talking about a new B&BW candle they are loving I always want to go buy it so I can burn it that day!

Enter the 3/$5 mini candles.

I can’t get enough of these. They are itty bitty and so cute to look at! I even bought a tiny candle sleeve to hold the baby size candles because it makes it more festive to look at.  Also it’s tiny and therefore really cute so I HAD TO BUY IT!

My current favorite candles are Spiced Apple Toddy and Winter Cabin. Since I live in Florida, it never really gets cold (at all actually) until after Christmas—more in January and February than any other time of year.  These wintery smelling candles make me remember that Christmas is less than 3 weeks away! So while I study for finals and want to cry from Contracts class overload, all I have to do is inhale deeply and I’m reminded that it’s almost winter break!
