🕯️ CANDLES! 🕯️

🕯️ Candles were created back in 500 B.C. by the Romans with animal derivatives and fat called Tallow. Then many cultures started creating them for so many different uses aside from a light source. A big thing now that we are in the 21st century are soy candles. We also have variations of candles that can be used as skin care when broken down because of how pure and organic the oils are which will not irritate the skin but help moisturize. Candles are also used in various cultures and events. It can give significance when lit with a purpose leaving an emotional sentiment behind the process. Candles can give us psychological pleasure because of the scents we pick to light and enjoy. What was once a source to help us survive and guide us in the night has now turned from a commodity to a leisurely self care product. Our nose picks up beautiful fragrances that can excite us if it's new or comfort us if it's a scent relative to a memory that makes us feel happy and safe. Then there are the scents that make us feel like we are traveling or at a specific place because of how it was formulated with key notes to create the atmosphere of the woods or hawaii. It can help us use our imagination if we have never been there before or bring us back to a place we have traveled and loved! My favorite candle scent is Balsam and Cedar. Something about the fresh and woody quality of this fragrance reminds me of happy times in my childhood and it also reminds me of nature. It's slightly sweet and the warm notes give me a wrap around feeling all over my body which helps induce calm and relaxation. Definitely a selective candle scent for some and a christmas associated candle scent for many. The usage of candles really helps soothe the mind and the soul.Click 🔥here🫠 to know a bit more about the history of how, when, where, and why candles were made.
