Choose scents that match your mood - lavender for calm, citrus for energy, vanilla for comfort. The flickering flame creates natural focal point for relaxation, and the ritual of lighting it signals to your brain that it's time to slow down.

β€œI think for me it’s the low light flicker that helps. I don’t like pitch darkness when I’m winding down but my Kindle warm backlight doesn’t do it lol. I’m not one to light it before bed but I will when I get home from a stressful day and my husband and son aren’t home. I love anything citrus and I despise floral scents so it’s been tricky to find anything.”

β€œThere's something about having a candle next to you, let alone one that smells like cinnamon cookie, that's so comforting. I used to think scented candles were overrated but now I 110 percent the hype now. My candle has been "on" for almost 24 hours (most of it is gone) and I just feel more relaxed with it by my side, even if it did't have a smell.”

β€œThey absolutely do help me relax. I consider it aromatherapy which is very real. I work a super stressful job and take care of both of my sick, elderly parents at the same time. It's such a relief to light a candle and try to take a few minutes at the end of the day to myself to relax as much as I can.”
