The soothing flicker of candlelight and subtle aroma of scented candles can be the perfect antidote to a stressful day packed with anxieties and worry. But just what is it about candles that help us relax?
Calming Light
The illumination from candles and their gentle flickering light has a soothing effect on our mood. It is the perfect antidote to the blue light from our devices which seem to be a constant presence as of late for work, school, and entertainment.
Choose to start your day with a quiet meditation with candles, curl up in your favorite spot to read a good book with a mug of your favorite beverage by candlelight, and consider ending your day with bubble bath by candlelight. By using the light of candles to set the mood for some of your favorite activities, you create a simple ritual that you will begin to associate with the act of calm relaxation.
Soothing Scent
By introducing scent, you add another very important element to the tranquil effect of candles. Whether you choose invigorating scents like orange or cinnamon to start your day or something proven to have relaxing qualities like lavender or bergamot to wind down, scents can have a profound effect on our mood and even trigger certain pleasant memories that can only enhance the calming aspect of candlelight.
Visit us at Urban Wick Candle Bar and let our Scent Designers work with you to find the perfect scent combination for your desired mood. We are committed to providing only the finest for our guests and use natural soy wax and organic cotton wicks, making our candles free of toxins.
