I’m a huge fan of the Scandinavian concept of hygge. Hygge is that indescribable feeling and atmosphere of cozy, heart-warming and happy. The Good Simple Life is all about getting more of this! One of the quickest ways I can inject a little hygge into my day is with candles.
Tea lights and an assortment of scented candles are always on hand at home. For my morning espresso and all meals at home, the flickering glow of candlelight makes a special moment of what so easily becomes rushed and mundane. At the end of the day, my room is lit with only one or two candles; the dim light slows everything down and eases me into a restful night of sleep.
I invested in this beautiful Lavender Scented Candle from L’Occitane en Provence. It comes in a hexagonal glass jar with a metal lid. The lilac design on the lid turns the candle into a beautiful Art Deco object d’art when the candle isn’t in use (and hides the charred wick). Lavender has soothing and relaxing properties and the scent of this candle is just right in terms of strength.
If you’re not quite yet ready to splurge on this beauty, don’t worry. TK Maxx has great deals on Sand and Fog candles right now. I got the Pumpkin Spice mini candles for less than £3.00 each. They come in white glass with a lovely carved wood lid.
Candle light is mesmerising. As I light my morning coffee candle and think about the day ahead, I’m inspired to let my light shine.
It’s good. It’s simple.
