My love for candles has led me to a place I never thought I’d be. That place is preferring candle warmers to a lit candle. I received this beautiful black candle warmer as a gift and I’ve been getting really good use out of it. So much so, I’m considering buying a couple more. The main reason I’m obsessed with…

Pretty decent sale happening at Nordstrom on Nest Candles. I get the Birchwood Pine candle every holiday season and will also pick up the seemingly popular wellness line that includes Himalayan Salt and Rosewater, Wild Mint and Eucalyptus, and Driftwood & Chamomile. I rarely see Nest Candles go on sale so get yours quick!

Blooming Flowers. Fresh powder. Sophisticated and dainty. New money. That big, beautiful house that you need servants to clean, like from The Fresh Prince of Bel Air (even though it was only Geoffrey). Driving a Bentley with the top down wearing big sunglasses and a scarf. These are all the things the Diptyque Fleur de Cerisier Candle reminds me of:…

Staying at home means burning more candles. I picked up the Nest Rose Noir & Oud hoping it would smell similar to one of my favorite fragrances, Tom Ford’s Oud Wood. Well, it definitely doesn’t, as that’s way more musky, but I still enjoy the scent. The scent is surprisingly so different from what I imagined it would smell like.…

I have finally bit the bullet and purchased my first Diptyque candle! When I came across the Narguile candle online and read the description of the scent, I just knew I had to have it. It had the masculine, woody/spicy aromas I have come to love and I had been wanting to try scents other than the obscenely popular Baies,…

I recently found myself in the home department of the H&M in Georgetown and I was pleasantly surprised with their offerings. They have all kinds of stuff in there from dainty and feminine to sleek and modern. I found some good props for taking…

I wanted to write about the candle I recently started burning from Illume, a brand mostly seen in Anthropologie (I found mine at Nordstrom under the Anthropologie brand). I loved the looks of the candle at first sight: it comforted me, I thought it would smell amazing – coconut milk mango… what a wonderful-sounding combination! To top that off, it’s…

My favorite part of the holiday season are all the festive smells. There have been years where it doesn’t feel like Christmas, especially when I lived in South Florida, and it was quite hard to get in the mood for it because the four seasons down there are spring, summer, hurricane, with a splish-splash of a cold front for about…
