“There’s always going to be bad stuff out there. But here’s the amazing thing — light trumps darkness, every time. You stick a candle into the dark, but you can’t stick the dark into the light.” — Jodi Picoult
Have you ever looked at the dancing, fluttering, flickering glow of soothing candles and felt your body be awash with relaxation and calmness?
Candles do that.
Just lighting a candle and watching it glow gently, softly and soothingly can work wonders for a tired, stressed out mama at the end of the day.
The best part is that you can do it in a matter of minutes and with little to no prep needed.
Simply, put the kids to bed or in the bath, pour yourself a cup of tea, light a candle and let the gentleness seep into your tiredness, taking it away.
Scented candles go a step further, helping you ease anxiety, sleep better and de-stress with ease.
According to Sleep.org, scents like Lavender, Vanilla, Valerian, Jasmine are incredible at helping you unwind and drift to dreamland with ease.
