Candles are one of my favorite things. I have them throughout my apartment in all shapes and sizes used as decoration and for their wonderful scent. I love the ritual of lighting them, hearing the crackle of the wick, and smelling them throughout my home. I often give candles as gifts because they are pretty, functional, and individual when it comes down to picking the brand and scent.

Once a candle is burned out, I love finding new ways to repurpose it whether it be a match holder or a cactus planter. This makes the more pricey ones worth the investment. The candles above are my absolute favorites which I have used in my home varying in scent by strong and a bit masculine to sweet and light.
Ooh the pink & gold candle is my fave!
