Lighting up a scented candle is one of the easiest ways to wind down, especially after a tough day. It’s scientifically proven that they have an effect on your mood, stress levels, working capacity, and can even improve your mental health.
Wood-wicked scented candles have been taking over Instagram as of late. Aside from their soothing scents and beautiful glow, they also make calming crackling noises that might be able to help you shed stress from a rough day.
Here’s where you can cop a pot of wood-wicked scented candles:
Hey Casual

Hey Casual sells hand-poured, 100 percent soy candles in thrifted ceramic containers. They’re made in small batches, so this is a “mine-ing” situation. They don’t have ready-to-purchase candles, so if you’d like to purchase one (or 10), you should set an alarm for when a collection drops. Trust us, they’re worth it.
