A candles purpose has evolved over time. They were once used as a source of light but have now grown in both popularity and purpose. Candles can symbolise celebration and romance as well as soothing the senses. Sitting perfectly in any home, they are the ideal accent to your style of home decor. The gentle glow of candlelight can change the ambience of a room, adding warmth whilst creating a relaxing atmosphere.
Fragrance can play a big part too. It can evoke a memory, affect our mood or our emotions. In this fast paced world we now live in, scent can be crucial in helping us to slow down, feel more, reconnect with the world around us and fire our creativity. The scent of Rock Salt & Driftwood reminds me of growing up on the Kent Coast with days spent on the beach during the summer holidays. Scents can take us to places and times from our past or remind us of people dear to us. They can also be calming, revitalising, uplifting or energising so you should simply let yourself be guided by how a fragrance makes you feel.
Soothe away the stresses of the day by lighting a candle. The sheer act of lighting a candle can help to ease the mind. Try it the next time you have a challenging day. Light a candle, watch the flame and just breathe – even just 60 seconds can make a big difference.
Take care of yourselves
