Creating an ambience is a simple act with far reaching impacts. Light a candle for dinner, for the bath or just during the day while reading a book. Remember back to those times of connecting in a dark restaurant with candles lit all around. Remember how those moments made you feel so intimate, so close. When is the last time you lit a candle?
I do love to light a candle every night - it adds something to the atmosphere.
ReplyDeleteWay too long since I've lit a candle at home. Thanks for the reminder. Now, if I could only have time at home. I've been busy!
ReplyDeleteYou are right. Following your suggestion is a great way of taking care of me. A soothing ambiance is good for my soul. I do light, incense, however. Does that count? :)
Wishing you a wonderful, serene week!
I love this idea. My boyfriend and I recently bought a bunch of vases and large candles and we have been decorating our home with them. Candles make everything feel more comfortable, more safe and more intimate. I love them!
ReplyDeleteI don't light candles at home but love seeing them when I'm out. In yoga and meditation classes and in sexy, dive bars. Nothing beats a date in a candlelit bar...
ReplyDeleteCandles are great but unfortunately no longer allowed in many homes and apartments as part of the rental agreement. The scents and flickering light is great though!
