My Candle Addiction
It has its own budget
Last month I spent 3% of my income on candles. I’m talking candles with names like Soothing Joy and notes of eucalyptus, lavender, and frangipani. Yes, I have a candle addiction. Not thankfully, for its hot wax, but for the scents.
When I wake up in the mornings now, I light my candle. Then I sit back and wait for the smell to assail my senses… Aaaah.
Now I can start my day. I meditate, write my journal and gratitude list, and do my yoga, with the candle burning in the background, filling the air with its wondrous perfume.
Bliss.
