SCENTED CANDLES!
For the past two weeks, I have been enjoying candlelight baths, well showers if you will since we don't have a tub in the main bathroom. The ceiling light in our bathroom has gone haywire and despite replacing the light with a new one, the light refuses to switch on. B even tried using a new starter for the light but we think it's the wiring.
Like I mentioned in one of my previous posts, the wiring for our home lighting seems faulty everywhere. And more than once, I've been shocked by light bulbs unexpectedly exploding when I switch off the lights in my office or in the living-room.
We seriously need to get somebody to look into our faulty wiring and we will, sooner or later. And when the time comes, I'd really like to replace our ceiling light with this elegant vanity wall fixture light. I just love simple classic designs don't you? This fixture has 3 lights and takes 3-100 Watt Medium Base light bulbs and is available at Lightingsale.com should you too be interested. Offering the lowest prices online, this huge lighting store brings to you over 300 different manufacturers selling over half a million lighting products. There's a massive Black Friday SALE for today only, so hurry over!
Initially, I was of course angry at the thought of having to grope around in the dark when the bathroom light went out. The incident happened on a Sunday and no contractor or lighting store would send over someone to have it fixed. So I opted for candles to light up my bathroom and now, I am truly, madly and deeply hooked on my scented candles! In fact, I just told B there's really no hurry to fix the bathroom light for my baths have never felt this good or relaxing now that I'm using scented candles instead of a proper light. Now why didn't I start this sensual ritual sooner?

I just bought a whole new bunch of scented candles and I can't wait to try them out. I have orange, vanilla, lemon, green tea, lavender and yummy apple candles and I'm planning to use them all! See you guys later!

WOW . . . That's amazing, I just bought almost the exact same light fixture with two lights (three lights were too wide) at Home Depot a couple of days ago and just took it out of my car ten minutes ago. I was just holding it up to see how it will look then decided to procrastinate, have a coffee and put it up later.
here's mine http://ezee.ca/light.jpg
I'll have to send you a picture of it installed . . . when I get around to it, I'm pretty busy right now procrastinating over installing the new faucet
Good luck on yours.
Scented candles are very addictive. I also like tealight candles introduced to me by a London friend. I think candles bring inner peace and of course the sweet scent makes it the more better. Have you done at Black Friday shopping? I tried some online shopping but didn't find much to my liking.
That sounds very relaxing! I hope you had a wonderful Eidil Adha, Marzie :)
I get that you're going to burn them all. But might I suggest that you don't burn them all at the same time? All those scents could give you quite the headache. ;)
hmmm i can smell the scent...so relaxing! :-P :-P :-P

Hi Rose Belle, that’s a very pretty name btw! Thanks and welcome to Mariuca’s blog. I have those tealight candles too, the scented ones… I am going crazy over candles lately and the more I buy, the more I love my baths hahahaha! Happy shopping to you! :)
Hi Donssite! Wahhhhh really? The same exact one as the one I chose here? That’s so cool and I hope you’re done installing your faucet as well. Did u just move or is this just a yearly makeover kinda thing? Have fun and thanks so much for stopping by. :)

Hi Mariuca,
Still procrastinating but I just might get around to installing things tomorrow.
I'm actually getting ready to sell my house near Toronto Canada then move to Florida where they don't know what a snow shovel is.
I just sent these pix to my brother

I can imagine how sensual the mood when the candle lits the bathroom. :)
Hi Mariuca!
Me too, l love scented candles especially when it is followed by nice cool coloured lighting at night to be nice and calm.
Love and hugs always :) ;) 8-) :* :* :*

wah marzie, nampak percutian @ vakasi di dalam rumah.
Mandi sebenarnya kira mini vakasi tu, selalunya lepas penat bekerja.
Aha, memang rumah pun tak dak bath tub, tapi selalu anak buat suka rendam diri dia dalam baldi tong air yang tersangat besar. Lepas tu pok su dia akan mengamuk sakan. LoL.
scented candles memang wangi. hoho
