Candles

Candles, candles and more candles.
 

I love them. Candles are such a mood trigger for me. I can’t walk into my house smelling like pumpkin pie and be grumpy! And it is not just me that loves them, my husband is quite infatuated.  In fact, last week he sent me an email containing bath and body works’ newest fall scents and wanted to know if I had any coupons!  Funny enough, later that day I received one letting me know they are doing their 2 for $20 special.

Last weekend we decided to take them up on their offer and spruce up our fall selection. I mean, you can’t burn pineapple mango scented candles in September, come on?!

[Note: Not all candles are created equal. We are accustomed to only buying Bath and Body or Yankee candles. I find that other candles lose their smell after you burn them the first time! These candles last forever and keep their smell as long as you burn them. With my husband being from Cincinnati, we pass a Yankee candle outlet every time we head down! We generally make a stop with every few months.]

We bought four fall scents and a man candle. Yep you read that right, a man candle. My sister and her bf turned us onto these. Yankee candle has a Man-line. They have scents like 2x4 (smells like wood), Mantown (smells like man), Riding Mower and First Down. We purchased First Down for Rik’s “Man Land” in the basement. It is perfect and he loves it! The first thing he did Saturday morning was go downstairs and light his candle. It smells like football, not necessarily a football, but a football game. It has a grassy, leathery smell. It is pretty crazy!

Our house now smells like fall (and the basement like football) and it is quite fabulous!

Here are a few of our new scents:
