DIY: Apple Candles


Now that autumn is in full session (the first day was September 22nd!), I'm ready to bust out my sweaters, scarves, boots and other fall-esque clothing items.  But lets not forget about one of the best things about fall--apples!  YUM.  During the autumn, I always find myself going to cider mills and stocking up on apple cider, caramel apples and cider donuts.  Because I can't constantly be going to cider mills and taking in the sweet smell of apples, I found a way to take the cider mill home with me: APPLE CANDLES.  This cute idea is something I'm looking forward to making lots of this season and embracing one of my favorite seasons. 

What You Need:

  • Ripe Apple
  • Tealight Candle (preferably without metal edges so it looks more natural)
Steps:
  1. Find a ripe apple and stand it up so it doesn't or roll around when it is sitting.
  2. Hollow out a hole just big enough for the tealight candle. The hole doesn't need to be where the stem of the apple is located.  It should wherever the top of the apple is when it is sitting up and not moving around.
  3. Place the tealight candle in the hole and light the candle.  Now you're all set to decorate your home in a fall fashion!

Daily Playlist: Beach Chill

With school back in session, I've been trying to destress myself in every way possible.  I get really bad anxiety when it comes to assignments, tests and with my social life, so a great way for me to chill out is to listen to really relaxing music.  This way, I can just daydream and pause the world for a few minutes.  So here are some relaxing songs that I love listening to when times get tough!


5. Joe Brooks - Superman
4. Ferras - Hollywood's Not America
3. Jimmy Eat World - Hear You Me
2. The Goo Goo Dolls - Better Days
1. Peter Bradley Adams - The Longer I Run

Update: College

Hey everyone!  Sorry I haven't posted in forever!!  I just moved in at college about a week and a half ago, and my life has been a whirlwind of events since then.  I've had so much to deal with as far as classes and academics go, not to mention my social life!  It's been a little stressful, but I'm finally getting back into my old routine.  So don't worry, I'll be posting frequently once again!  Love you all!
