Our Favorite Candles to Brighten Your Days

Quarantine. Lock down. Shelter in Place. We may be past the “worst” of the pandemic but we are still spending more time in our homes than we are used to. If you are like us, this means you are burning WAY more candles than usual. In one of my group texts today we were all discussing our candle habits and sharing our favorite candles, which prompted me to write this blog post!!

As my good friend Tim said: “Everyone is working from home now so now is the perfect time to get into candles. Plus it can relieve some stress and anxiety that our world is experiencing.”

10 Tips for Making The Best of Your Time At Home

Before I started writing this post, I wondered if we were being flooded with similar posts in the news, on facebook, instagram and twitter and even texted Catherine asking if it was already played out. She said she didn’t think so and honestly, I am writing this for myself as much as for you guys! So far on our first 3 nights of staying inside, we have sat in front of the TV for hours. While, there’s nothing wrong with your daily dose of your favorite TV shows, I wanted to force myself to do other things with our evenings while we are battling the corona virus.

Don’t get me wrong, we need to stay informed, but it simply is not healthy for your mind to wander to all the wrong places.

I absolutely love discovering new brands, so when J.ING emailed us about trying out their pieces, I was really excited. The anticipation when clicking a link to a new brand is “well this stuff could be really cool, or we’ll probably pass.” With J.ING it was an immediate oooooh & ahhhh situation. I was immediately drawn to their pieces and noticed how each piece puts a chic twist on a classic. The brand describes themselves as “a womenswear collection for the bold and romantic” and I think that pretty much hits the nail on the head.

maternity fashion the crystal press blog

As we get towards the end of my pregnancy (considering my due date was 5 days ago LOL), I have been thinking back over the past 10 months. It has gone by relatively quicker than I thought being pregnant would and dressing the bump has been quite the adventure. I am not going to get into all the feels with this blog post, I mostly wanted to check in and tell you my favorite, favorite, most-used maternity fashion piece throughout this entire journey: my HATCH gal poncho.
