I’ve always been in love with scented candles.

Lighting one feels like performing an elaborate ritual, like a dance in an ancient ceremony. It fills my nose with the world’s most wonderful smells. Creamy vanilla with just a hint of chocolate makes me sleepy. Zingy lime with a dash of orange, grapefruit, Sicilian lemon, and Chinese may chang are for days when I feel like throwing the windows open to let the sunlight in (but of course, can’t because of the wind and the rain). The warm, spicy scent of figs that smell of the earth and crushed raspberry leaves are for nights when the hub and I feel like kicking our heels back and holding a “steak and wine plus movies” date. Finally, there’s Caribbean mint leaf, which we use almost every night to soothe frayed nerves and put us to sleep.

Aren’t scented candles lovely?

A candle for every mood, I wonder if Colonial Candle has that. I’ve been browsing the site non-stop because they have the prettiest candle holders and candle settings ever!

Don’t worry, babe. I’m only looking. How could I not? These candles are soooo pretty! Lookee!
