For many years now, reading has taken over my time outside my job. I always have a book with me, either a physical one or on my phone, Kindle or tablet. It has become my escape, my best friend. There’s nothing quite like curling up with a good book and my reading routine for the evenings is designed to create the perfect cozy atmosphere. As an avid reader, I’ve found that the right ambiance can enhance the entire reading experience.
Before I even pick up my book, I’d like to prepare my reading nook. I gather my favorite blanket and fluffy pillow, a hot cup of tea or coco and, most importantly, a selection of candles to set the mood. Candles have a magical way of transforming space and I’ve easily become addicted. Throughout my journey of discovering which scents work best for me, I learned the importance of using 100% natural ones, with plant based aromas.
My go-to candle at the moment is infused with May Chang, for a more citrusy feel. Combined with Ylang Ylang, it helps me relax and immerse myself in the story. They create a delicate and intimate ambiance, perfect for my moment of peaceful reading. Lately, I’ve found out that, with a fantasy book, adding a decorative lavender candle makes me feel more adventurous in a way.
My reading routine is a cherished part of my day, and candles play a vital role in making it special. The combination of scents, gentle light, and aesthetic appeal creates a serene environment where I can escape into the pages of my book. Whether you’re a fellow book lover or just looking to enhance your relaxation time, I highly recommend incorporating a variety of candles into your routine.
What are your reading habits? What is that special element that sets apart your nook?
Until next time, happy reading!
