After a tumultuous 2020, I’m happy that a better year is on the horizon. While we’re still staying home to stay safe, we can do easy things to brighten our days and lift our spirits – and that’s why I’m recommending scenting your way to a less stressful quarantine.
I’ve tried a variety of methods to make my home smell fresh and fun, but the simplest way is to light a candle. Sometimes, I really want to have a nice-smelling environment, so I’ll burn two at once in different rooms… Talk about fired up! I know, I know, terrible pun, LOL.
Once you become accustomed to lighting a candle as part of your daily routine, you’ll likely find that you look forward to that little ritual. The visual aspect of a lit, flickering wick in the evenings is particularly calming, and the smells are fabulous. If I can have my candle beside me, and I can open a book while sipping a cup of tea – my world at home is about as great as it can be during these times! Love it so much.
You might know the brand Spongellé for its famous line of Body Wash Infused Buffers, but check out its amazing new Botanica Candle Collection®. These four candles are $38 each and they’re inspired by nature.
Every candle bathes your room in one of four signature fragrances that are gift-ready in a delicately adorned box. When I opened each one, the scents were so powerful and lovely!
The included wooden wick crackles and flickers for up to 50 hours like a wood-burning fire, transforming any room into a luxurious experience. That flickering, I’m telling you – that’s where it’s at. Simply soothing after a long, hard day!
They are hand-poured locally and are all soy candles that are paraben-free, cruelty-free, vegan friendly and non-toxic made with extracts of rosehip, hibiscus, and green tea. The Rose scent is my favorite one so far! It’s so fresh, and feels like spring.
I also enjoy the Nectar Bath Treats Eco-Friendly & Handmade Coconut Wax Candle Collection. These six candles feel indulgent, but are calorie-free!
Each candle has its own unique fragrance to ensure that these yummy aromas fill your space. I also like how they have lids, because sometimes I store them on the counter of my bathroom – and I confess if I leave a candle for a while, sometimes it can get a little dusty. These lids help alleviate that issue.
Every candle comes in a glass jar, weighs 14 oz. and lasts up to 50 hours. When my toddler son saw me open these candles, he started making “yummy” sounds because I think he thought you could literally eat them. I had to let him know in no uncertain terms that these were NOT to be eaten, haha! They’re mommy’s special treats. 🙂
Did you know that coconut wax is one of the most eco-friendly candle waxes on the market? Another reason to feel good about your purchase. 🌱
Scents have been found to have a lasting impact on our psychology. All I’m sayin’ is, if there’s ever a time to make the most of fragrance – it’s now!
Thank you to both brands for allowing me to sample these candles complimentary. As always, all opinions are my own.
