You Can Never Have Too Many Candles!

So I mentioned in my last post that I might have a slight shoe obsession (if you haven’t read that post, check it out here!). Well I have another obsession to confess… I am addicted to candles.

You may think I’m joking when I said you can never have too many candles, but I’m not. There is no such thing!

I’ve decided to share my current candle collection and name a few of my favorites. I just want to be clear… I had no intention of “collecting” candles but I’ve bought so many that it sort of turned into one.

With all judgments aside, take a look at my current collection of candles:

To be exact, I currently have 35 candles that I’m in the process of burning. In my defense though about a third of them are rather small. Also in my defense, I received about half of them as gifts; every year my mom buys me a few candles for Christmas because she knows how much I love them.

It’s obvious from the picture that I prefer Bath & Body Work and Yankee Candles. Both offer great quality candles; they both burn nice and last a while.  So I decided to share my top 3 favorite candles, as well as a description as to what each candle smells like.

#1: Bath & Body Works- Pumpkin Carmel Latte

“Warm, rich blend of creamy pumpkin, spiced caramel and sweet cream.”

This candle has replaced my longtime favorite candle. Seriously I cannot describe how amazing this candle smells. Even though it is a fall scent, I will burn it all year long. It’s that good!

#2: Yankee Candle- Tahitian Tiare Flower

“Reminiscent of sweet gardenias . . . love blooms in the hypnotic fragrance of this snowy white flower.”

This was my favorite candle scent for years but they discontinued it for a couple years so I had to hunt for a new favorite scent (which is when this candle obsession started). However, a couple years ago around Christmas time they brought it back, (which I wasn’t aware off). So my mom and brother bought me a total of five of the large jars for Christmas since they spend the last few years hearing me complain about it being discontinued.  I believe they still sell it, but I should probably stock up in case Yankee Candle decides to break my heart again.

#3: Bath & Body Works- Coconut Leaves

“Fusion of juicy tangerine, papaya and jasmine that gives way to soothing coconut and vanilla notes.”

This is a newer scent to me but I’m really enjoying it, especially since the weather has decided to finally warm up. Honestly, I don’t smell much of anything in the description other than coconut. To me this is a signature summer scent, that I am going to enjoy all summer long… or until the candle burns out.




Let me know what your favorite candles are in the comments! I am always on the hunt for a great smelling candle.
