If you were a candle....
This is one of my favorite icebreakers....if you had to describe yourself as a scented candle, what scent would best describe your personality?
For me, I would choose pumpkin spice....because it is a little sweet and little spicy 😘
What scent would you choose to describe yourself?
I wouldn't want to be a scented candle. I wish they would just ban these. Too many people are unaware of the harm they cause to others with these. It's not just the locations where they are lit, having them in stores, the chemicals that cling to clothing and hair and then people go elsewhere etc. cause problems too.
@AffyAvo
Totally get what you are saying! Honestly, this was just meant for a little fun here 😘but I appreciate your viewpoint too!
Personally, when I buy candles I look for the ones that are made from the most natural and non-toxic ingredients -- they do exist lol and here is what to look for when shopping for non-toxic candles:
-wax -- should be soy, beeswax or coconut wax
-scent -- should be from natural oils derived from essential oils
-wick -- should be 100% cotton, hemp or wood
Candles are not for everyone, but for those of us who enjoy the ambience they provide, there are safer options ❤️
@KindnessMatters2020 Essential oils aren't safe for me. Also even with natural scents there can be undeclared allergens that help to carry the scent.

Ooooo I love this ( I might have to borrow this sometime :p)
I think that if I was a candle, I would either be chocolate chip cookie dough or creme brulee as that was my favorite scent growing up.
Apple Burben. I have it burning right now. When I picked it up I thought it said apple blossom. Then I was pleasantly surprised when I lit it. I was like what kind of apple blossom is that supposed to be. Then I read it again and now its my favorite sent. The smell raises my mood. I like to think I sometimes lift others moods even if they're not expecting me to.
Burbon opps;)
Nice post! Probably anything lavender based. I have a really nice lavender lotion that I'm using now that helps me sleep at night, I really like the calm and comforting aspect of it.
@halcyonCloud2036 I think I would choose Home Sweet Home- it has lots of spices in it, especially clove, which can be used for healing and for cooking, and it gives a warm, cozy feeling.
Probably cinnamon and apple, I love the sweet and spicy smell as well and cinnamon and apple just reminds me of home. It's so warm and comforting
