These *Relaxing* Scented Candles Absolutely Deserve A Spot In Your Bedroom

It's no doubt that the past couple of years have been all sorts of ~exhausting~. I don't know about you guys, but whenever I ask a friend, "How are you?," the answers I usually get are within the lines of, "I'm okay naman, surviving" or "Pagod pero kakayanin." (Relate, much?) Whether it's the physical or the emotional kind, at some point, we've all been tired.

And in case you needed to hear it today, know that you deserve to rest. Take some time to free your mind from anything that's been making you anxious lately. You could watch these healing K-dramas, or step away from your laptop screen for a few minutes. Perhaps you could even go for a walk, or get some more hours of sleep. "Rest" really is different for everyone. In fact, my version of relaxation is through scented candles. Aside from being pretty home decor, studies show that they're also good for relieving stress. 

Take some time to chill. Check out these shops where you can buy calming scented candles.
