Self care is important for your physical health as well as your mind, soul and, let’s face it, your overall health. Without self-care, your relationships with others can suffer tremendously. You don’t need over the top luxurious vacation and activities to have a successful self care day. The smallest things can go a long way toward a totally amazing self care day.
Aubert & Amandine’s fragrance products are designed with beauty and luxury in mind; beautiful, premium quality products that work well. Featuring sophisticated designs for the discriminating buyers that are both beautiful and practical.
Anyone can have a “nice” candle, but Aubert & Amandine candles have a highly concentrated fragrance formula of aromatherapy essential oils and fragrances to quickly deliver the aromatic benefits you demand.
Aubert & Amandine’s candles are made with high quality, all natural ingredients of soy wax and cotton wicks. No petroleum products that you’ll get in less expensive candle. This means your candle burns cleaner and more evenly.
If you’re struggling to take care of yourself due to the fast pace of your daily grind, consider following these tips.
1 . Netflix & Chill

Yep, sometimes you just need to take a day to yourself, light a Relax candle from Aubert & Amandine, kick back and binge some Netflix. Sometimes you just need to find what works for you. When I am stressed out from one of my 2 jobs and just life itself, I need to just unwind from the day. I just finished Good Girls and I need something new to binge.
Let that tension melt away. Jasmine has been shown to have a sedating effect, so it can help reduce anxiety and tension. Sandalwood relaxes and soothes the mind, the Jasmine brings clarity.
2 . Take a bath
Now ideally, when I want to take a bath, I want a tub that I can soak my whole body in.. However, I am 6 ft tall and my current tub doesn’t let me relax like I want to. However I still try. So dim the lights, turn on some music, get some bath bombs, light the candles and relax. You will thank me later.
Indulge yourself or someone special with our luxuriously scented 3 candle gift set. With a range of essential oil scents and the flickering light of the candle, you can create the perfect ambiance. Aubert & Amandine has a 3 candle gift set which comes in the scents of Lavender Vanilla, Sandalwood Jasmine, & Cinnamon Apple. Relax is the choice stress relief candle for kicking back with a low stress mood.
3 . Read a book
I like to light a candle, grab a book and just zone out for awhile. I am currently reading gmorning, gnight and it’s a totally relaxing book written by Lin-Manuel Miranda. I’m totally loving my Limited Edition Aromatherapy Scented Soy Candle w 3 Wick Candles.
The cozy scents of apple and cinnamon promote relaxation and comfort. The apple scents freshen the sensual cinnamon that is sometimes used as a physical and emotional stimulant. Researchers have found that it reduces drowsiness, irritability, and the pain and number of headaches, and can improve performance several types of memory tasks.
That’s why self-care is essential. Without proper self-care, you’re more likely to experience burnout, fatigue, and illness. So go grab yourself a few candles from Aubert & Amandine Candles and take yourself a break, you deserve it. You can follow them across social media on Instagram, Facebook & Pinterest.

Self care is utmost importance in life. A lot of people don’t understand this need, they neglect themselves.. in the end it’s not pretty
Rosie
My favorite way is with essential oil and candles. I’m super stressed out these few last days and a few more coming, I was having good success with my lavender candle, then I burned through that. I’m noticing two other candles I’ve been trying don’t work as good to calm me. These candles sound good, I’d like to try them. For essential oils, my lemon and tangerine are my self care. I’ve tried several tangerines, the one I have now I really like by Sun Essential oils, it is more complex than others I’ve tried. I’m freaking I ran out of the lavender candle… and can’t get another until I can get to a store, with no car not so easy.
Heather
Yes to all the candles. I love having candles in every room of my home. They just add a little something to the atmosphere and are an easy way to make your home feel cozy.

I love candles–especially the glow of them at night. I don’t usually have them lit during my baths, but I have done this on several occasions and every time I must say it was soothing. I think I just might do this more often.

Taking care of oneself should always be our number one priority. People will appreciate you only if you are good looking.

I love taking a good book into the bath when I have a lot of free time. If I can have a cup of tea or glass of wine, that makes the entire experience more relaxing.

I could use something to boost things right now. I used to burn candles quite a bit, but got out of the habit. Plus, with finances as they are, hard to justify even that expense.

I can often be found sitting on my back deck with a cuppa hot cocoa in one hand, a book in the other and a blanket around me while relaxing on my porch swing. I call it “my ME time” and lord help the teenager that interrupts it, lol. (Some times it’s wine in the cup, depends on the day I had at work.)
