A Healthy Escape


Now that the holidays are over and the New Year has speedily set in, it is certainly the perfect time to collapse!!! Considering this is not an option for me, I have found other ways to mimic the time off that I desire but cannot expend. Any sliver of downtime I chance upon is grand and I always celebrate with my candles. I’m no stranger to candles. They’ve been rescuing me since the 80’s, these little vessels of calm. They allow me the light by which to reflect and the calm by which to breathe…deeply and from my belly. I remember my very first oil candle. It was round and covered in Japanese flowers. It felt so fancy to slowly pour the oil in and light the woven wick. My latest obsession is the soy candle. They are 100% USA-made, non-petroleum based and eco friendly. These healthy, happy candles melt into warm oil, bringing a whole new skill set to their politically correct resumes!!!
