Candles

The first thing I notice when I walk into an unfamiliar house is it's very unique scent. I have an extremely strong sense of smell, and I love the pleasant smell of a burning scented candle. I am not very picky when it comes to the specific scent, however I usually prefer seasonal odors. In summer and spring my room typically smells of Summer Breeze, or Fresh Linen. In the autumn the smell of Spiced Pumpkin fills the air, and throughout winter that scent shifts to Sparkling Pine and Christmas Cookies. The sense of smell is the most significant in my life probably because it is the most profound. I think candles are one of a girls best friends because we love the alluring scents they offer. Have you ever walked into your brother's room or any guys room for that matter and smelled the disgusting aroma of sweat, fart, and drool. WELL I HAVE, and that is why candles have become on of my very best friends.


What is your favorite scent?

I really loved this post! From when i was 4 years old, i have been bumparted with the various scents of candles. My mom owned her own Hallmark store for 15 years and she sold various scents of candles. Each time there was a new scent i was eager to smell it and judge if the scent really did the name of the candle justice. In my home candles are a big deal. I feel as though they welcome guests and even give them a sense of what your home is often like. Like you stated we have different candles for different seasons. I love when candles are burned because it just adds happiness and a sense of peacefullness to the home or store or anywhere. Your blog is great! P.S. if your looking for a good scent...try Buttercream! So good =)
