While showers are coming down outdoors, indoors, I’m comforted by the gourmand scents of Opalhouse’s Caramel Apple Crisp’s candle (it’s soooo good), and the fierce sounds of 2000s-era Mariah (also soooo good).

Seasons Readings & Burnings
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!
Quote Of The Moment (9.16.22)
“You know, I didn’t have a thing with butterflies when I was a kid,” she says during a phone interview. “I wasn’t one of those little girls who had a fascination with butterflies, even though I knew children who did. It is just something that happened. When I made that album, I was leaving a point in my life that was extremely stifling and I had to go through an actual metamorphosis to become a grown woman who was strong enough to get out of that situation. It was me breaking through, to become free enough to fly…”–legendary singer Mariah Carey, on the making of her Butterfly album (MSN.com via Variety)
And happy 25th anniversary to this forever amazing album today! It was on heavy rotation in my CD walkman back then, and teen me also wanted to have my hair colored that exact light golden brunette shade she was sporting during that era. A music and hair icon! I will always ❤ me some Mimi!
