Some see candles as a luxury, right now we see them as a necessity. Running a bath and lighting your favourite candle can do wonders in helping you decompress. It’s a sanctuary from the outside world that can really help in lifting your mood, and a practice that’s shared around the world in secular and religious settings alike.
It’s not merely the scent of the candle that’s relaxing – it’s the ceremony of lighting it and watching its tiny flame flicker than can soothe and aid any anxieties that you might harbour. Here’s a comprehensive list of the 5 best candles out there to help you do the same:
