more on candles

i love having candles burning at home. i have them in almost every room & have one or two burning most of the time when i'm at home. (note: i make a point to burn them in seperate areas so the scents don't mingle & just smell nasty) i don't usually do large jar candles. i like to change the scents up so often that i need to be able to finish a scent on & break out a new one. unless it's an absolute favrote scent that i gravitate toward frequently, you will usually find a 3-4oz jar, a votive, a tea light or in the kitchen, a tart in the tart warmer. currently out for sensory pleasure are:

IN THE KITCHEN

cucumber & cantaloupe: very summery & fruity. nice & light.











lavender: soft & flowery without being too heavy or perfumed. there's something very fresh & airy about this scent.










IN THE DINING ROOM

caramel apples: this just smells yummy. i know it sounds like more of an autumn scent but it so sweet & yummy that i just couldn't resist.










lilac blossoms: this is about as floral as i get. still smells more clean & sweet than that heady over-powering scent of a lot of flowers though.








IN THE LIVING ROOM

applewood orchard: smells like an apple orchard in summer. like ripening apples, a little woodsy & sunshine on the grass. a seasonal scent from Yankee Candle that is not currently available but i have a couple kicking around. ;-)


IN THE BATHROOM

mango kiwi: i was surpised i liked this scent so much but it's nice. not super sweet. not really strong. just...happy.




IN THE BEDROOM

clean cotton: smells like freshly washed laundry & dryer sheets. i love that it makes everything smell clean. and something about it is very comforting & relaxing.









IN THE DEN

sugar vanilla fantasy: warm. homey. peaceful. i adore the scent of vanilla. warms me up & makes me smile.
