You Make Do

When was the last time you brushed your teeth and washed your face by candlelight?  All sorts of things to be careful of: rogue water splashes putting out the flame, towel catching on fire, knocking hot wax over the counter, etc.  With no electricity to power the elevators, trick-or-treating in my building has been cancelled this evening.  (The poor children, I know!)  So tonight, instead of handing out fistfuls of sugar to cute ladybugs and dragons and superheros, I'll likely be doing the dishes and washing my hair.  Both with cold water.  And by candlelight.  That should be interesting.  Or mildly painful.  Probably both.

  1. Where did you get the candle? White jasmine and mint sounds like a great combo.

    1. Jo Malone. They have an online store and also distribute through department stores like Nieman Marcus and Bergdorf's. I'm going to mention this b/c I know you're going to throw up at their prices: I used to work next to their creative department and secured candles at significant discounts. If you can take the plunge, their grapefruit is lovely.

    1. Oops. The candy bowl is nearly empty after last night. I won't point fingers at who done it, but I am bulging out of my clothes right now.
