Candles

I relocated recently and I'm having fun with my new apartment. I was scared on moving day because I was worried about the previous tenant and if he had cats or anything that smelled like an old person. Surprise! He didn't. What I did find was that I had a stuffy smelling apartment on my hands. I also detect a whiff of fruit snacks in the air - maybe I'm just overly critical, but I always feel like it smells like Fruit Gushers when I first enter. It's kind of weird! So I've been working around the clock to get rid of it. It's not a bad smell, it's just not something I want to keep in my apartment.

Without question my favorite candles are Root candles. I have been saving a back-up supply of about 8 candles for the past 2 years now since my last visit to Medina, Ohio. Patchouli is my favorite, and also the strongest scent so I've been loving the effect it has on my place. But I'm running out!!! AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH. I've been thinking about making a big Root candle order online to re-stock my supply, but the website I went to this morning is not the old Root I know. They've made it hard to find the basic candles I love and they're calling all the basic candles scents "Legacy" candles now. What the...? Lame. But I'll probably still order in a few months if I see some improvement from them.

I'm not willing to give up on Root just yet, but I'm in the market for new brands. The Capri Blue line at Anthropologie is good, but I don't like to burn them all the time because they can be a little too sweet sometimes - like when you're eating. They're more of an after-dinner, watching HGTV candle.
