Looking for recommendations for good scented candles that I can buy online? I don’t want to keep spend $5 - $10 per candle from target. I really like the Nest candles, but those are super expensive. Would love to find a cheaper alternative.

Trapp Candles. I like the Teak & Oud Wood. I believe they use something along the lines of 15% perfume where the $5-10 ones from target use 4-6%.

If you notice the line in the candles it’s because they use less perfume in the bottom half. I can’t remember the brand but they dropped from 5% to 2% in the bottom half of their candles. I’m sure it was one of us who recommended it because it saved them millions in direct costs.

Decent candles go for $50 -$100 ;) Diptyque, Cure Trudon, etc. Try once and you'll see the difference - a more subtle non-fake smell.

On the more affordable side, Voluspa.

Otherwise I would an unscented candle and find a room perfume you like.

DW Home. Just buy directly from their website

Marshall’s and TJ Max sell DW Home candle, all year round, much cheaper than their website

Looks like DW candles are going for $16 - $20 a piece. Essentially dropping $20 for 2 day burn. Is that how much decent candles costs? Was hoping for something less.

Soy candles I think

You should only burn about four hours at a time, tops. That's probably why yours are burning down so fast.

Nest candles are 25% off right now, you get more value when you buy the larger ones so I would just stock up on a few right now and then use those
Until next Black Friday.

Wood Wick - as the name suggests, the wick is made of wood, and produces a mild crackling sound. I find it very relaxing to have it burn close to me when I am working. And it’s pretty cheap too - SGD 50 for a big jar

Yankee candles, large jar $25. Sometimes they have buy 1, get 1. Last for many hours of burning.

How many married professionals with young families are just sticking it out “for the kids”? Marriage is very dead and has been for a while. Young kids 4 and 1. My wife and I don’t fight, but share 0 interests outside of the kids and can’t stand to be around each other. I’m so ready to leave… I just can’t bear the thought of doing it to my children even though another part of me feels like wife and I would both be better parents if our lives were separate.

Hello,

Currently, in accenture. I have had very bad billable hours and not much achievement this fiscal year. I am worried of getting fired, so i applied for another job. Got offered may be 5% above my current pay with 5k bonus, but in lower level at Deloitte. I think working lower level will give me more opportunities to learn as i think i have lot to learn. I made decision based on my gut and accepted the offer. I have not talked to anyone on accenture side yet. What you think?
