Cool Glacier Candle
I love this candle by skyn ICELAND for so many reasons. First, it’s soy with a cotton wick, which means it burns REALLY clean. The scent? A relaxing, therapeutic mix of so many interesting fragrances including bergamot, peach, melon, lily, orris, cyclamen, white lavender, and sandalwood (just to name a few). Last but not least, [...]
