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
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.
