7 Candles To Turn Your Staycation Into A Tropical Vacation
After the magic of Thanksgiving and Christmas and Valentine’s Day have worn off, but it’s not quite spring yet, I get a little bit into the doldrums. The weather outside is so chilly and same-y that I find my thoughts drifting toward warmer climates.
In other words, this is the time of year I most find myself wanting to buy a plane ticket to somewhere with pink sands and turquoise waters. Digging my toes into the warm sand of Waikiki. Exploring a coral reef nestled against the lush island of Bali. Or collecting intricate seashells at sunrise in the Florida Keys. You get the picture!
And when that’s not a possibility? I simply light a candle. These seaside scents instantly transport me to sunnier, sandier destinations, and they’re much cheaper than travel. Here are seven of my favorites.
