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.

Inspired by The Dark Gourd’s 100-word prompt: Smells that stay with you.
