Adventures in Candle Making

I wasn’t really “into” candles until fairly recently. Once I realized how awesome they are, I became kind of addicted. I love burning a specific scent to match my mood, having one by me while I read or do homework, and I especially love seasonal candles.

Jimmy and I always end up in the candle section of stores like Target and Bath and Body Works to sniff all of their candles (seriously, every single one..), and my family and friends always know that candles are a great gift to give me.

Jimmy went above and beyond (as usual) the “typical candle gift” by giving me a candle making kit for Christmas. He’s so awesome. I think he was really intrigued, and wanted to learn how to make candles, so he gave me the kit partly so he could try it out. That’s my theory ;).

Hap hap happy Fridayyy

Hello all 🙂 How was everyone’s Cinco de Mayo? I celebrated mine by getting a hair cut with my sister. Her hair is STRAIGHT and mine is CURLY!

Haha. Just for funzies 🙂

I don’t really have much to say so I’ll show some pictures from one of my favorite dinners:

Breakfast for dinner

Onion, tomato, and green pepper.

Eggs w/ basil from my garden

Blueberry & flax pancake batter (I like the batter better than the pancakes…)

Morning Star sausage

I smelled this in the evening..

A linen scented candle.

My confession: I wasn’t allowed to buy/burn candles until I turned 18. Now I LOVE them 🙂

What is your favorite candle scent?

I like cupcake and blueberry scone flavors!
