If you’re like me (and I’m assuming you are), you might sometimes feel like you’re stuck in a rut.
And it’s not because of any serious problems – not really. In many cases, it just feels like everything’s the same (even though it really isn’t). As Thanksgiving is slowly creeping up on us, are you now starting to sigh at the thought of the same old thing every year? You know… rolls and stuffing, mashed potatoes and gravy, turkey and cranberry sauce…
No matter how much we all love these foods and everything that comes with them, sometimes you just want… something different.
That’s where scented candles come in…
A Thanksgiving-scented candle can suddenly brighten up your home and make it smell like the holidays. It might be early, but I’m in total Thanksgiving mode right now! There’s just something about candles that instantly makes your house seem so festive.
Candles: Front and Center!
Candles can be incorporated into table centerpieces for Thanksgiving (and even for everyday dinners too!) using only a few materials you might already have at home.
You will need:
– 3 candles of your choice. They should all be the same height.
– Candle holders if you don’t have small plates or bowls on hand to hold the candles.
– Fresh flowers in small vases or tealight holders.
– Some energy crystals if you want to add an extra special touch, and a little bit of imagination!
Instructions:
- If you don’t have plates or bowls on hand to hold the candles, fill some glass candle holders with water and place three votive candles in them. This will save you the trouble of having to prop up your candles! If you do have plates or bowls on hand, place one candle in each.
- You can then take fresh flowers (such as roses, carnations, daisies, lilies) and cut the stems to the same height as your candles. You can add a bit of greenery to your centerpiece if you so, please.
- Now place the flower vases/tealight holders adjacent to each candle holder, on top of your plate or bowl. Fill them with your fresh-cut flowers, and set them up in whatever formation you like! The goal is for it to look balanced, so if one looks more full than another, just remove some of the flowers from the fullest one to even it out. You can also add energy crystals to your centerpiece that resonate with the element of your choice on this day.
And that’s all there is to adding candles and fresh flowers to your Thanksgiving table! Now you can place the centerpiece on your table, and enjoy the soft candlelight glowing throughout dinner.
