One of my favourite things to do is to go and smell the candles at Bath and Body Works. I love smelling all the different scents and choosing the candle that suits me best. Although, when it comes to picking out a candle for a friend or family member during the holiday season, it can become challenging to remember what they like and don’t like. This is why I typically try to pick something that reminds me of their zodiac sign.
