I’ve always liked the idea of candles but, as I went from one tiny bedroom to a slightly bigger but still tiny bedroom I never had the space to have a lit candle anywhere. I’m also horrific at lighting candles (and matches in general) so all of the candles I have owned in my 21 years of life have never been lit.
That is about to change though as I am hopefully moving into a much bigger bedroom by the end of April and have purchased 2 candles in anticipation.
They are both by Shearer Candles and are probably the most boring scents you could ever buy. What can I say? I’m a traditionalist.
I purchased the Red Red Rose candle for one reason and one reason only: it’s part of Shearer Candles Highland Collection. I may not be the most Scottish human going but throw a Scottish theme at me and I’ll be all over it. I haven’t lit it yet but every time I remove the lid to smell it I’m reminded of bathroom air fresheners. Hopefully it’ll smell miles better than a bathroom air freshener once lit but for now I am worried.
The other candle I purchased is Black Vanilla. I couldn’t have played it safer if I tried. I like vanilla scents but do find them to be a little sickly at times. Fortunately this isn’t overwhelming in the tin so I’m hoping it will give off a subtle vanilla scent once lit. It doesn’t smell like a bathroom air freshener either so there’s an added bonus.
Hopefully everything will stay on schedule for me moving into my new room and I’ll have actually learnt to light a candle without burning myself by then. The Juicy Couture candle snuff I bought years ago may finally get to see the light of day (assuming I remember to use these candles).
If you don’t hear from me from April onwards it’s because I’ve accidentally burned my house down. Please pray that that doesn’t happen.
