Summer, Reinvigorated with Glade® | this heart of mine

To be honest, I’m not much of a candle person outside the Christmas holidays. Most of the time, candles evoke feelings of cozy comfort to me. They make me think of dark nights, cold winds and snuggling with my family under thick blankets. However, I’m learning it’s all in the scents you choose. While going through our big life event earlier this year – sold house/new baby/surgery for Sweet J/moving to a rental – the children and I picked up a candle to help set the mood and keep our spirits bright during the big shuffle. It really helped!

Well, now it’s August, it’s hot and humid, and the children and I have spent the last two months together day in and day out. We do get along and things are fairly smooth sailing, but, like others living the same situation, we could use a breather. The heat has lulled us into a bit of a summer stupor. Patience is not as long, words are not as kind and frustration levels are met much more quickly. We aren’t moving as fast, but this won’t do. The school year is on the horizon and that means our easy going schedule will be swapped out for a tighter, more ridged one. For me, my work load will increase shortly because the holidays are a coming! We need some revitalizing.

Cue Glade® Blue Odyssey™ Large Candle. I think in another life, being a ‘smell-ologist’, you know, the person that mixes and matches scents, would be an entertaining job. The new Glade® Blue Odyssey™ Large Candle has an aroma that is invigorating, which is just what we need right now. It’s bright and uplifting and sure to bring feelings of refreshment if you are suffering from a summer stupor, too. The new Blue Odyssey™ fragrance from Glade® comes in a new, larger size, which burns and lasts. And, psst! It’s only available at Walmart.

I had some fun, setting up colorful vignettes, using the Glade® Blue Odyssey™ Large Candle as a starting point. I can’t decide which one I like best! Monochromatic blues gives me the chill out vibe while the pinks make me feel energized. The multicolor screams fun to me, a lively and full life. I can’t choose. I want to live them all!

  1. These pictures are so good! The blue makes me so calm and relaxed while the pink is fun and punchy!
    I’m also more of a candle fan in the winter to make things cozy and calm, but I also love having candles outside in the summertime in a hurricane glass to bring a bit of coziness to an outdoor event

  2. I’ve totally wanted to be a person who mixed scents for things! But then I figured it would just give me lots of headaches. Your photos are lovely!
