Light A Candle, Pretend Life’s Not Straight Up Basic
So here’s the revolutionary life hack: 'Go about your normal evening, but with a candle lit.' Because apparently, the mere act of lighting a candle magically upgrades your mundane night. It’s the glow-up you never knew you needed but still didn’t ask for. Forget fancy dinners or high stakes—just a candle. This is sending me. It’s like your vibe finally caught a smoker’s lounge visibility level, but make it chill.

Not me pretending lighting a candle fixes all my existential crises. This has the same energy as ‘just add water’ but for life’s soul patch. Keep your bougie candles, I’m still waiting for that aura shampoo.
If lighting a candle transforms your normal evening, I want a candle that turns my ‘still binge-watching Netflix’ nights into ‘someone call the energy fairy’ moments.
This advice is giving 'Not a regular night, I’m a cool night,' but just in scented wax form. Someone get this ritual a TikTok remix and a soundtrack.
