Candles and Valentines Day are a great mix as they compliment any dinner table setting and are super romantic to have going when you're cooking dinner for your loved one/s.
Candles are a great gift to give your loved one/s on Valentines Day as they can be quite useful for relaxing and making a dinner party environment more 'inviting'. Candles come in all different scents, brands, shapes, sizes and price ranges.
I love candles as they make great gifts and are super relaxing to have on when you're trying to relax or having a relaxing bath. Some candles even are useful for therapeutic uses, by burning the candle the wax and essential oils for the smell and allows you to relax (mind, body and soul therapeutic uses) and can be of calming nature.
There are so many kinds of candle scents and smells, and each person's preference in candles are different. Some people like spicy scents, cinnamon-like scents, vanilla and coconut and sweet scents. I love all kinds of candle scents, as they all smell so lovely!
Right now, i'm loving the Yankee Candle 'French Vanilla' scented candle from the food and spice collection as it is such a beautiful relaxing scent that doesn't smell too strong or sweet but just the right combination of spicy, therapeutic, feminine/masculine and sweet.
Here are a few candle brands and scents to look out for:
~ The Yankee Candle 'French Vanilla' scent from the 'Food and Spice Collection' smells absolutely divine!
~ This Yankee Candle looks absolutely beautiful when lit, and smells warm and very inviting. Super romantic!
~ The candle on the right, is a 'Serenity Candle' and the scent is White Tea and Neroli. Plus, its such a pretty candle with the added garland around the bottom filled with flowers, pearls and glittery berry-like pieces.
~ Now finally… The bigger candle of the 3, is a 'Serenity Candle' and has a burning time of approximately 30 hours (wow, thats heaps of candle time). The scent is Suya Spice and Raspberry- which smells quite sweet but not too sickly sweet, more of a romantic type of sweet scent. The 2 little candles I just bought from a candle store for about $3 each and come in this cute little shabby-chic glass tea light holder packaging- the candles inside of the glass are included with the tea light holders. The scent of these 2 little candles, is vanilla- love it! I love how the light shines through the shabby-chic looking silver glass, it just makes a pretty design on the ceiling when the candle is lit, which is super romantic and very suitable for Valentines Day!
I hope this post helps you with your choices for candles!
