I’m hesitant to make too much of my new candle discovery for fear of the stereotype. As Samantha on Sex and the City explained, “women with candles have replaced women with cats as the new ‘sad thing’ . . . “ The thing is, candles (and cats) are good feng shui!
For my Friday (and every day) home office ritual, I just found the most deliciously fragrant and visually sumptuous soy based candle. These LAFCO New York candles are pricey (around $50 retail), but they burn up to 100 hours and come in a gorgeous, reusable colored jar (think pencil holder, candy dish or cord caddy for your desk). Each is “recommended” for a specific room in the home, but try choosing the glass color to enhance a bagua area on your desk. I had a hard time choosing between all the options - loved the vibrant orange jar and fresh fragrance of Cilantro Orange (kitchen) – but settled on the pink Duchess Peony (powder room). I’ve placed it on the back right corner of my desk to enhance the relationships and love area. Once it burns down, it can hold flowers or pens (pink sharpies?). I’ve been burning mine for about 20 minutes a day – the subtle scent lingers in the room until the next day.
I discovered the House & Home candle collection at a fantastic and friendly little furniture and accessory store in Palm Springs, CA (www.distinctivehomeps.com – ask for Michael). If you know of other retail locations, please post them here!
