It’s the time of year that we love spending more time at home. The weather drops and it’s time for the candles and soft throw blankets to come out. And what better way to create a cozy space and set the mood of the season than with fall candles that bring all the rich warm flavors and aromas into your home.

Love it or hate it PSL season is upon us. Pumpkin is the official (or unofficial) ambassador of fall, so that particular fragrance and flavor are found absolutely everywhere. And that includes the candles we fill our homes with. But that’s not the only fragrance that can create that cozy autumnal mood. So, if you happen to fall into the category of people that aren’t in love with pumpkin spice everything, there’s still plenty of fall fragrance options for you. Sweet scents of apple cider, creamy vanilla, spicy cinnamon, ginger, and clove or masculine aromas like bourbon and leather are aplenty.

Whenever I find myself wandering through a department store with some free time I head to the candle area. I can easily spend 20 minutes lifting the lid off of every candle jar to discover what fragrance is within. Whether you like to do your shopping online, or in person, here is the list of what is in my opinion the 19 best fall scented candles.

The most important $27 I ever spent taught me why I overspend.

You buy something you didn’t really need. You feel amazing for about an hour. Then the good feeling quietly turns into guilt… and the little speech starts: why did I do that?

This week’s episode of the Purfect Sunday Podcast is about the emotional side of money — not budgeting or spreadsheets, the feelings underneath what and why we buy. 💛

Here’s what I learned the hard way:
→ Most spending was never about the thing. It’s about a feeling we’re trying to change — stress, sadness, boredom, loneliness, feeling invisible.

→ Breaking the cycle isn’t about white-knuckling your way through life never buying anything nice. It’s naming the emotion driving the need to shop, and putting time between the urge and the buy.

This week’s challenge: next time you feel the urge to buy something you weren’t planning on, pause before you check out and ask one question — what am I feeling right now?
  • Your life can look completely different 6 months from now if you get strict with yourself and lock-in 🔒
  • We officially have 6 months left in 2026 — and no, you are not behind.

Six months is enough time to lock in. To become the girl who drinks the water, reads the books, moves her body, takes care of her hair, skin and nails, and actually dresses like she’s the main character. Six months is enough time to glow up in any area of your life you’ve been putting off.

And here’s your reminder: money spent on your health, learning, and feeling your best — is never wasted. That’s not splurging. That’s investing in the woman you’re becoming.
Half the year is still yours. Let’s not waste it. 🤍
