Seasons Readings & Burnings

xmas candle & book (watermarked)

Christmas is right around the corner, and here’s what I’ve been burning and reading lately to get into the holiday spirit: Voluspa’s Crushed Candy Cane candle, and the memoir of the Queen of Christmas herself (that I was supposed to have finished up a while back). Mariah is a living legend and I’m glad she’s able to tell her story. And the tea she spills, dahling. As for the candle, its peppermint-vanilla-sugar notes had me hooked from the start. Plus, the adorable tin it’s in! 

No Tricks, Just Treats

new candle + book 2

Happy Halloween, everyone! Check out my IG to see what I’ll be dressing up as this year.

To celebrate my 1st day into my “25th” year on earth, I shall burn one of the most savory-scented candles I’ve ever lit: Voluspa’s Rose Petal Ice Cream. Even in a cold burn, the candle smells delish! (And thanks to my Airbnb host for allowing candles in my vacation rental.) To accompany it, a book that’s been on my must-read-right-now list: Marilyn In Manhattan by Elizabeth Winder. Unlike certain people, I prefer to see Marilyn in a positive, empowering light.
