6 Cozy Candle Brands
for Surviving
6 More Weeks of Winter
It happens every February. The temperatures creep just above freezing, and suddenly my brain thinks I don’t need a coat—or gloves or a hat. Of course, two days later, the polar vortex comes roaring back, and I’m left shivering in my denial of winter’s reality. Early February’s false hope drives me crazy every single year. So, I’ve decided: instead of fighting the cold or being tricked by fleeting warm spells, let’s embrace the cozy.
Let’s light a candle (or six) and hunker down until spring is actually here.
