One of the simple joys of fall is having a meteorological excuse to stay inside all day. Cozy blankets, hot chocolate, and a warm fire make a home day feel decadent. And if you add a scented candle to the mix, you may never want to leave the house again.
There’s no shortage of fall-themed candles on the market if you want to indulge. You can find plenty of pumpkin-based options, but you can also find more creative fall scents like Bath and Body Works “sweater weather” which has hues of sage and eucalyptus or the amber-infused “witches’ brew” from Etsy.
