You’d be surprised just how big a difference a household item can make. Something as simple as lighting a candle can lift your mood to new heights and create a calming atmosphere that makes your house feel like home.

As someone who’s suffered from bouts of anxiety, candles have been my secret weapon to help keep my space zen and comforting. I never keep any less than three or four on display throughout my apartment, which also does wonders for keeping every room smelling so fresh and so clean.
