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.

Chandler Bing

I'm assuming that we've all heard of the hit 90's TV series, Friends, right? Who hasn't? Admittedly, I had pretty low expectations when I first started binge watching the show on Netflix, but I quickly became addicted.

Without a doubt, Chandler Bing is the most relatable character, and there isn't an episode where I don't find myself thinking, Yup, Iam definitely the Chandler of my friend group.

Working with the public can be a job, in and of itself. Some people are just plain rude for no reason. But regardless of how your day is going, always having to be in the best of moods, or at least act like it... right?

1. When a customer wants to return a product, hands you the receipt, where is printed "ALL SALES ARE FINAL" in all caps.

2. Just because you might be having a bad day, and you're in a crappy mood, doesn't make it okay for you to yell at me or be rude to me. I'm a person with feelings, just like you.

3. People refusing to be put on hold when a customer is standing right in front of you. Oh, how I wish I could just hang up on you!

Another day, another Elle Woods comment. Can’t us blondes get through the day without someone harping at us over the typical stereotypes about who we are? I never understood why a person was judged based upon the hair color they were born with, or the hair color they choose to have (unless you dye your hair blue like Kylie Jenner, I’m still trying to understand why that’s a trend). Nevertheless, as it should be assumed, not everyone is the same. Not all blondes like bright colors and Lilly Pulitzer, and not all blondes claim to identify with Marilyn Monroe. I think the best suggestion to give to people before they make such radical claims is to stop judging a book by its cover. Or in this case, stop judging a blonde by her hair color.
