If you're feeling restless:
Try: Aveda Shampure Vegan Soy Wax Candle, $45
Some seasons are full of more questions than others, and if you're in the middle of a "I don't know what to do with my life" period, you need to buy this candle ASAP. Calm in candle form, this option by Aveda is enhanced by 25 pure flower and plant essences, including lavender, petitgrain, and ylang ylang. When you're feeling down or anxious (or both), burn this candle to boost your mood and fight fatigue (thank you lavender and petitgrain!).
If you need to clear your mind:
Try: Bath & Body Works Eucalyptus Mint 3-Wick Candle, $24.50
You know that feeling when you walk into a spa and breath in that minty fresh air? This scented candle has the same effect. Eucalyptus essential oils clear the mind and the spearmint essential oils work to soothe you, while the notes of lemon peel and clary sage bring relaxation to the next level. So... spa night at your place?
If you need some positivity:
Try: Tiny Bandit Crystal Candle, $64
It's not just the scent itself that makes a difference (there's five of them to choose from!) — it's about what's tucked inside the candle wax. Each candle comes with crystals that have been cleansed with pure Himalayan sea salt and charged in the California sun. Yep, we aren't kidding! There are different crystals to choose from to meet your needs, though all the candles come with a clear quartz crystal to ward off negative energy and increase energy levels.
If you're struggling to remember things:
Try: Vancouver Candle Co. Strathcona Signature Boxed Candle, $38
Stunning design aside, this candle scent takes inspiration from Vancouver's Strathcona neighborhood's peaceful vibe. Infused with lavender essential oil and blackcurrant, this fruity and floral scent sharpens your memory while simultaneously relaxing your body. Talk about an easy-peasy way to make — and keep — an overflowing to-do list.
If you need a breath of fresh air (literally):
Try: Jemma Sands Big Sur Candle, $68
California poured and raised, the Jemma Sands candle is the only clean-burning (which means it won't negatively affect air quality levels) option to make the list. Ironically enough, it smells like tobacco leaves, smoke, and redwood, which will trick your mind into thinking that you're out in the great outdoors — when really, you're comfy on the couch, bingeing the latest new show on Netflix. It's all about balance, isn't it?
