The perfect candle for fall, and a custom cocktail to complement it...

As summer winds down in South Carolina, our morning wake up call of sweltering heat is slowly being replaced by the cool breeze and crisp air.  Cue our inner excitement and jumps for joy. Because after a long hot summer, there is no better feeling than the welcoming of brisk fall weather. 

The wheels are already in motion for our Fall Bucket list. In fact, we’re pairing a few of our favorite ideas to orchestrate the perfect fall afternoon. Picture this: Enjoying a picturesque nature view while getting lost in a good book, sipping a divine cocktail and burning your favorite candle. Ahhh – that’s Fall perfection.

Your guide to the ultimate fall day:

Read Something.

Getting swept up in a good book with a cozy sweater or throw gives us all the Fall feels. Not sure what to read next? Poll your friends for book recommendations! Good books are meant to be shared with good company – plus then you can dive into all of the details at your next lunch date. You’ll also find us reading recommendations from Reese Witherspoon’s Book Club. Every month she selects a new book she loves and shares it as her pick. See what she selected this month & follow along this Fall here.

Make Something.

Our friends at the Anchorage have done it again, creating an incredible cocktail inspired by our Tuscan Olive Candle. Use the recipe card below to create this herbaceous drink in the comfort of your own home. Maybe even trying mastering a few techniques from the video?

Smell Everything.

Name a better pair than Fall & Candles. (We’ll wait.) While you’re sipping your Tuscan Olive Cocktail, why not pair it with the candle itself? We’re currently coveting the Tuscan Olive aroma, a Votivo classic fragrance overflowing with basil, oregano, and bay tempered with the light filtered blanket of clear pressed olive oil from the backyard trees.
