ZOMG this candle! $7.99 at HomeGoods. Luxurious and permeates the room quickly.

I only buy candles when they’re on the semi-annual sale at Bath and Body Works! Then I stock up like a madwoman and have no space in my house to store them.

Well, YUH. Diptique candles are pretty much my go-to gift for my best friend, my sister, my mother, my sisters in law, my mother in law, my cousins, my work colleague... They love that shit. Hell. I love that shit (Ambre and Feu du bois are my personal favourites).

I buy D.L and co/modern alchemy candles that are regular price 40-80 dollars when they are on super super sale and at marshalls. THE ARE SO GODDAMN GOOD. Like, I would never ever pay full price but, God, they are good.

I cannot remember the name of the show where the CEO hides undercover and works the bottom rung of the company. Anyways, the CEO of Yankee Candle did it and he couldn’t have been a bigger asshole. He admonished a guy who was trying to pay for college for not having “enough passion” for candlemaking, despite making…

I would likely never buy one myself, but I will say this: The expensive candles are legitimately better. I usually burn non-fancy candles until the wick is gone, and then use a candle warmer (yes, A Thing) for a few weeks (on and off) until the scent is gone. I did this with a Nest Fragrances candle I got for…

Since freakin’ when have Yankee Candle candles been “inexpensive”? Or am I just exceptionally poor or something? All I know is when I buy three candles from them, and maybe an air freshener or two, I walk out a good $100+ poorer. Sheesh.

Yes. I was like “those are not considered expensive candles?” Candles from Ross or GTFO. Also I got a candle from Grocery Outlet recently that pretty legit!

In France when very young I stayed in a hotel in Biarritz that had once served as the summer home of Josephine. I retained little memory of this experience until last year when a house guest gave me Cire Trudon’s Solis Rex candle. I lit and smelled it and was made suddenly aware of certain profound youthful French…

*raises hand. I LOVE premium type candles. No, I’ve never spend 60 bucks (I’m not rich), but for me, it is a real treat to get a candle that ACTUALLY smells like the thing it’s supposed to smell like (not cloying not-sure-what-that-smell-is) and fills the entire room. For example, I love the smell of orange blossoms.…

Just your typical tale of corporate rat burn out turned small business owner with a retail shop, online and wholesale business that ships worldwide :) I’m living my dream and absolutely love what I do. (And I’m not medicated for blood pressure anymore, yay!)

And I thought I was splurging when I bought those candles over half off at Bath & Body Works.

Yeah, fuck that noise. Yankee Candles ARE expensive candles, ffs.

My husband is a former soldier, and after 15 years in the infantry, he spent several years during the worst of the second round of the Iraq war doing security. He is, for all intents and purposes, a man with a very intense resume.

I would be inclined to feel the same but if they come with a lid, unless the lid is particularly decorative, it looks a bit...meh. But if the candle doesn’t have a lid the wax gets all dusty after a while and looks gross. I’ve resolved to just not buy expensive candles and have instead found that the bad of Lush…

several years ago when i had first moved to Big City, my roomie and I were deeply poor. It was Christmastime and we had no money to go home to Small Town, so we did our best with our meager funds to make our shithole apartment seem festive. We split the cost of a pine-scented Yankee Candle so at least our place would…

Shout out to all my fellow Jezzies who read “inexpensive Yankee candles” and thought about how you only get Yankee candles when they're on the clearance endcap at TJ Maxx.

Diptyque’s candles are seriously a waste and have such poor throw of scent. 3 wick candles from bath & body are the best and I will fight you if you disagree.

Another kind of leg question (from 1939):

1. Whose legs are these?
