Other than everyone’s favorite gourd, the other most popular thing about fall has to be the scented autumn candles. Whether your favorite fall scent is “Leaves,” “Caramel Brulee,” “Apple Pie,” or of course, “Pumpkin Spice Latte,” there’s just something incredibly special about opening your windows to let that fall breeze come through, and lighting your candle as the leaves come down outside. Isn’t autumn the best? Since I know you absolutely posted a selfie of your first PSL of the season on Instagram — because, duh, it’s a must — you must also pay tribute to your first lighting of a fall candle. Lighting a candle any time is definitely an event to be captured and remembered, because what’s cozier and more ‘hygge’ than lighting a candle I ask? Nothing. So one of these candle Instagram captions will be perfect for your documentation of the best feeling in the world – lighting a candle.
