Casting a glow

The sun is going down… it’s time to cast a nightly glow with my favorite candles from Seaglow (http://seaglowcandles.com/). This time of year, I like to feel warm and cozy and nothing does the trick like a glowing candle (ok, maybe cashmere, but that’s another story!).

I spent a lot of time in Sweden in the early 90’s and fell in love with the local custom of lighting white candles anytime, anywhere. Fifteen plus years later and I find that I have all sorts of little candle stashes in my house – hmmm. Some of them I can’t bring myself to burn because they are either one-of-a-kind or just too pretty (yes, a few of my Seaglow candles are decorative only… what can I say?). But luckily, the ones I do burn last a LONG time, making them an excellent investment in home decor/atmosphere.

The colors and scents are amazing, too; the coconut smells just like Hawaii and the grapefruit has the CLEANEST scent I’ve ever smelled in a candle. Best of all, the glow that occurs when the solid core begins to melt is truly unique. FYI, I like to put a glass votive in the center section once the wax is melted to the bottom – it makes the Seaglow candle last indefinitely!
