So because I am a wild and crazy person, I decided to treat myself to a new candle for my room this weekend.  Then I realized that I don’t really care for candles because I do not really care for lighters or matches.

Then, magic happened. I was walking around West Elm because I think all their stuff is so pretty and they had on display the Paddywax Library Collection. It’s candles and diffusers that are matched with a certain author. The Austen was sort of light and airy, the Hemingway was sort of woodsy. You get the picture.

Each one also has a quote on it. I chose the Oscar Wilde scent that is scripted with “Anyone who lives within their means suffers from a lack of imagination.” It smells wonderful and sort of like a more fancy part of Manhattan.

Long story short, treat yourself every once in awhile to something kitschy that smells nice. Or maybe treat someone else. It’s the holidays and all.
