A Favorite Things listing is loooong overdue, and Votivo Candles are the lucky winner. Not much for the “scented candle” (Bath and Body Works in 7th grade put us a little over the edge there), Votivo Candles are fragrant enough to make you lay your head down, smile, and fall asleep. A great little hostess gift or birthday present, the Red Currant version the one that tickles our fancy. “An honest answer is like a kiss on the lips,” and in all honesty, so are these candles!

“Into every product goes the belief that freedom starts with healing and love can change lives.” Thistle Farms lotions, sea salts, candles, sprays, and more are created by the women of the Magdalene House in Nashville, TN. Magdalene House is a rehabilitation center for women recovering from prostitution and drug abuse. Started by Becca Stevens, Chaplin of St. Austine’s Chapel at Vanderbilt University, the Magdalene House seeks not just to help a sub-culture of women, but to change the culture itself. Awesome. Get their products here.
