I thought it was such a cute idea.✨ I decided to include one of my favorite books, favorite chocolates, and one of favorite candle scents as my favorite things.🥰(picture in the comments🎁)

it’s been a tough week. my aunt passed away and she was basically another mother to me. it hadn’t settled in until yesterday at her candle lighting. my heart is just sitting at the pit of my stomach.
