Beautiful, scented candles are an essential finishing touch to our homes during the holidays. They have the ability to make any room a warm and inviting space- soulful and perfectly aglow.
Like Bing Crosby tunes and beautiful greenery, the soft flicker of candlelight is a holiday must in my home. Starting December 1st, we light these candles daily and my house smells glorious!
So today I am sharing with you my favourite scents for the holidays, plus some tips and tricks on candle burning and care.
My scented candles of choice are always from Linnea. I have been a fan since 2019. Furthermore, I gift these to friends and loved ones because they are that good. They have a gorgeous aesthetic, a high level of craftsmanship and they only use quality raw materials.
- Handcrafted in small batches by artisans in the USA
- Made with 100% natural biodegradable soy wax and cotton braided wicks
- They only use therapeutic-grade essential oils and the highest quality natural fragrances
- All hand-poured in an chic and elegant recyclable glass container

THE PROPER CANDLE BURNING TECHNIQUE
A well tended flame will make your candle last much longer and avoid any fire hazards.

- Keep the candle away from drafts of air
- Keep candle free of foreign matter and wick trimmings
- Do not burn for more than 4 hours

FYI
Everyone has a different relationship to scent and home. The effect that candles have on us is based on how the brain processes smells. The smell of scented candles stimulates the limbic system- the part of the brain that is home to our memory and emotions. Therefore, our emotional state is influenced by the relationship that exists between scents, memories, and emotions. So go ahead and find that perfect scent for you… the one that speaks to you, makes you happy and content.
