December 5

Three or four years ago, I bought a cinnamon sugared doughnut candle at Bath and Body Works. I remember expecting it to smell nice --because otherwise buying it would've been a serious what? moment, given how much they cost-- but it blew me away because it smelled just like a warm doughnut. After it was gone, I tried to buy another, but they were out of stock, and continued to be unavailable for some time. But then I found this one at the mall on Saturday:

It doesn't smell exactly the same as that first one did, but it's still a nice scent to enjoy on a chilly almost-winter evening. So today, I'm grateful for that very small indulgence that makes my house smell delicious.
