November Candle of the Month

I have a tradition that I didn't even notice was a tradition until just this week. Some people treat themselves to one nice flower arrangement every month, others get a massage, I treat myself (and our house) to 1 nice candle every month. Like clock work I start a new candle at the beginning of the month and light it every evening for about 5 hours, letting the house soak up the beautiful scents. And so is born our new monthly Candle of the Month post!

You might remember last months candle, Wish by Lollia, which I was thrilled to find unopened at a thrift store for $1.99. I have no problem spending a few bucks on something that I enjoy every night for a whole month but it was an awesome treat to pick one up for that!

They retail for $32 and after more than a month of use (they average 56 hours of burn time) that little candle made all 2,200 square feet of our house smell divine, whether it was burning or not.

This months candle is Santiago Huckleberry by Voluspa ($18-$22, 80 hours burn time).

It is a nice, soft scent that isn't too summery. The top notes are huckleberry, vanilla pods and sugar cane. Plus the tin is a little moody and dramatic, perfect for Fall.

And it will be burning non-stop until December!
