I love candles, but the prices have gotten out of hand! I understand that production, marketing, and the ability to pay fair wages can drive up prices (as it should), but I cannot deny that I love a cheap candle. Simply put, if it smells good and is under $15, it’s coming home to momma!

After a recent trip to Wally World, I found one of the best smelling candles of all time (IMO). It smells like heaven, a $350 massage, and Naomi Campbell (yes, I’ve taken a whiff of the QUEEN before) all wrapped into one! Oh, and did I mention it's only $12!

The Lavender Mint scented candle by Chesapeake Bay Candle is amazing! To be honest, I don’t much care for the other flavors (with the exception of Clary Sage)… But they are really pretty if you want to use them as decor!

With top notes of peppermint and spearmint plus a 50 hour burn time, this baby will add an air of luxury and relaxation to the most boring of rental bathrooms. If you are bougie on a budget (like me)… add this to your cart today!

Broke & Bougie,

Imani
