Autumn in the air

The air here in Central NY already has a hint of briskness and that smell that means gray skies and yellow leaves aren't so far away. Bath and Body Works believe that we should skip blithely from fun-in-the-sun to no-place-like-home-for-the-holidays; their coconutty personal fragrances have been shoved to the back in favor of fall home fragrances like pumpkin and apple. This does a great disservice to a very Tim Burton time of year, unacceptable in my opinion. Thanksgiving is coming soon enough, friends; for now, skip over gingerbread and warm your home with something a shade darker like Method's fig aroma soy candle. It's spicy and fruity but perfectly earthy; its soy formula is eco-friendly, and its wick produces 90% less soot than regular candles. Available at Target.
