current candle i

When I moved to the new apartment, I made an arbitrary policy a few months ago to only buy and burn one candle at a time. The purchase of a new one is often very special to me so I figured it would be nice to share what's burning right now.

This one's by

Enlighten

, a candle maker based in Arizona. The scent's called

Caribbean Teakwood

, and I got it for around $25 at my nearest Whole Foods..

I love teas with hints of black tea or sandalwood, so this one's a no-brainer. Nick and I had a laugh about how this scent was coded as a 'masculine' one on their line. Wood, tobacco scents =

Men

!

I burn my candles nearly every day, so I notice a candle of this size will last me about 3-4 weeks...maybe even less if I really enjoy the scent.

Do you have a favorite candle business? Please let me know!
