This year, amidst the pandemic, self-care has been a priority for me, so I’m making sure I stock up on all the festive holiday candles!
It is one of my favourite times of the year – cozying up with a cup of tea and watching a Hallmark Christmas movie with the scent of Holiday Spice filling the room.
