Candlelight... soft, warm, flickering, alive. Electric light may be clear and bright and much easier to read by, but somehow it lacks the atmosphere and ambience of candlelight. Whether you're aiming for cosy, romantic or relaxing, candles are definitely the way to go, especially in winter when their light and warmth brightens the cold, dark nights.
Winter Blessings and Beauties: Day 37
Candlelight
Cosy up by candlelight. Tapers, pillar candles, tealights... in candlesticks, votives, sconces or jam jars... dot them around the room or display them gathered in groups. Enjoy the soft honey aroma of a simple beeswax candle or choose from the huge variety of fragrances available as scented candles. Use a single candle as a focus point for meditation, or use many for a soft, diffused light. Explore candle magic. Create a regular relaxation ritual by lighting a candle each evening when you get home to help you switch off from daily stresses. Take a bath by candlelight. Make dinner a special occasion by eating by candlelight.
And don't forget to read this to make sure you are getting the most out of your candles!
