Candles are huge for our day and age which is ironic considering they have been around forever. I mean there are whole stores such as Bath & Body Works or Yankee Candle that are just dedicated to selling candles to people.
Personally I love candles. My favorite are three-wick candles. I could literally smell candles for hours on end without getting tired of it. If I could I would smell them till my nose fell off. I don't really have a favorite scent, if I like it I buy it, which unfortunately leads to a lot of money spent on unnecessary things; however my room smells heavenly all the time!
I currently have 10 candles in my room. All different scents because they all evoke different emotions. If I am sad I light my Mahogany candle, If I am happy I light my Vanilla Bean candle and so on. That is one of the main reasons I love candles so much, they have the ability to make houses into homes. Realtors use candles all the time when they are trying to sell houses! They pick one that smells like cookies before open houses so it seems more inviting.
I think everyone should own at least own one candle. If not to make themselves feel better but for the purely amazing scent filling wherever you place it.

I'm currently writing my blog comments while sitting in bed with a candle lit right next to me. I totally understand the love for candles, especially with attaching the scents to moods or feelings. I always have to have a candle lit in my room when I'm in it. I'm someone who strongly attaches emotions to scents, and I love how candles can evoke these emotions.
ReplyDeleteI've recently gotten more into candles than I was before. We didn't really light candle in my house much before, but this summer I bought my mom a candle while on my vacation. We started lighting it in our kitchen while cooking so that we had a nice smell to go with our dinners. From there we kept buying more and more candles. Candles can definitely change the entire mood of the room or house that it's in. And the scents they have are just absolutely lovely. You can even catch my sneaking into the candle section at work near the end of the day just to smell the newly arrived candles. My favorite scents are usually the flowery type smells, my second would be ocean or sea scents.
