12 Candles You Need In Your Life

If there's one thing a person can't have too much of, it's candles. Though a bit expensive (usually $15-25 a pop) candles wake up your senses and make the world smell better. Sometimes, a fresh air scented candle smells better than actual fresh air. Consider investing in these 12 candles if you're looking to switch up the scents in your life.

1. Café Al Fresco, Yankee Candle

A coffee scented candle for when you want the smell of your morning cup of Joe to linger for a bit longer. (I wish I knew about this before I kept my old Starbucks cups on my desk in the hopes they would act as air fresheners. True story).

2. Eucalyptus Mint, Bath & Body Works

Did someone say stress relief? Light up this candle when you're overwhelmed or in need of a good relaxing sesh. Breathe in, breathe out.

3. Pink Sands, Yankee Candle

Because pink sand smells better than regular sand, amiright?

4. Holiday Cookies, Sonoma

There's nothing better than the smell of freshly baked cookies, especially the holiday ones. Who wouldn't want to smell holiday cookies all yearlong? What a treat!

5. Evergreen, Bath & Body Works

Sometimes you need to smell trees, especially if you're living that city life. This candle will make you feel as though you're in a forest full of gorgeous, green, glistening trees.

6. Cucumber Melon, Diamond Candles

A classic scent, cucumber melon will leave you feeling refreshed and ready to take on anything that comes your way.

7. Midsummer's Night, Yankee Candle

This candle smells like a man (in a good way). So if you can't curl up in blankets and watch Netflix with your beau, light this candle. It'll almost be like he is there. Almost.

8. Teakwood, WoodWick

Not only does this candle release a wood scent, but its wooden wicks make a crackling sound when lit to produce a soothing ambiance. Perfect for those who don't have a fireplace.

9. Macintosh, Yankee Candle

No, this candle doesn't smell like a computer. Pretend you're wandering through an apple orchard when you smell this fresh Macintosh aroma.

10. Bergamot Waters, Bath & Body Works

If you're a die-hard Bath & Body Works lover, then you know the dancing waters scent they offer. This candle is similar, so if you enjoy that, then it's a safe bet you'll enjoy this one, too.

11. Currant , WoodWick

For when you're in the mood for a sweet, juicy aroma that will make your home feel light and airy.

12. Vanilla Bean, WoodWick

Sit back and relax with the smell of pure vanilla bean and the sound of an open fire.

18 Things I Want To Do Now That I'm 18

I'm technically an adult, so I'm legally required to live a little, right?

Happy Birthday Cake

For the entirety of my high school career, I was always seen as the goody-two-shoes. I never got in trouble with a teacher, I kept stellar grades, and when I wasn't doing extracurricular activities, I was at home studying. Even when I did go out, it was usually with a bunch of fellow band geeks. The night would end before 11:00 PM and the only controversial activity would be a fight based on who unfairly won a round of Apples-to-Apples when someone else clearly had a better card (I promise I'm not still holding a grudge).

Now that I'm officially an adult, I want to pursue some new things. I want to experience life in a way that I never allowed myself to do prior to entering college. These are the years that I'm supposed to embark on a journey of self-discovery, so what better way to do that than to create a bucket list?

So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.
