I love candles. Everyone that knows me that the best and easiest gift to give me. Candles are also the easiest way to bring a cozy/luxe factor to any room. They create a cozy and familiar environment in any space that you are in and you know what they say, smells are one of the strongest forms of memory. Whenever I am in a new space I like making sure that the space feels cozy and adding a candle is a good start. When I go on vacation I have even been known to take the mini versions of my candles on with me so that my hotel room can smell and feel just like home.

 

Over the years I have tried so many candles (most of them from Marshall’s), but recently I have been paying more attention to the Luxe candles you may find at Nordstrom or Bloomingdales. They use better ingredients, they last longer, and they really add a touch of classy to any room. Of course these also come at a pretty steep price point and although I cannot buy them all the time I still like to spoil myself once in a while with a Diptique or Jo Malone candle, especially when I know it will be used as a decorative piece and not necessarily lit all the time. So whether it be Earl Gray with Lemon, which is one of my all time favorite smells, or a unique green tomato (Jo Malone) I love them all and wanted to share some of the ones I have had my eye on for a while.

 

Revenge – Not only is this candle made of Food-Grade Paraffin but it also has a really nice floral scent. How can you not love the suggestive artistry on it?

What are some of your favorite candles?
