These Scented Luxury Candles Make Your Home Smell Like Heaven

Smell is one of the most important of the five senses when it comes to setting a mood and calming ambiance in any space, and candles are one of the best, cost-effective and easiest ways to add some aromatherapy to your dwelling. Candles are perhaps the easiest way to give your place a personalized aroma that both you and your guests will swoon over. Sure, you can opt or a fragrance diffuser or scented sprays, but while these options may smell okay, they don’t exactly feel as luxe as a scented candle wrapped in chic packaging. Many popular perfumes and colognes also come in candle form, which means you make your space smell as good as your signature scent too.

I think we all can agree that candles possess the unrivaled ability to transform the mood, fragrance, and overall feel our homes, but aside from offering us ultra-flattering sepia-toned lighting, they also make our apartments smell divine. Scented candles are also known for their mood-boosting, aromatherapeutic benefits as well. When you come from a long day, your home should feel like your personal sanctuary, not another source of stress, and candles can help tremendously in this department. Ahead, we’ve lined up a few of our favorite scented candles to stock up on.

Jordyn Woods Just Reacted to Her Rumored Ex Hanging Out With Kendall Jenner

Oh, how the tables have turned. While Jordyn is no longer at the center of a KarJenner dating scandal, the eldest Jenner sister might have just inserted herself into one. And now, it’s possible Jordyn Woods shaded Kendall Jenner over Devin Booker—a.k.a., Jordyn’s rumored ex-boyfriend and Kendall’s recent road trip buddy.

The 23-year-old NBA star sparked rumors on April 29 when he was spotted in Sedona, Arizona with Kendall. TMZ obtained footage of that pair hopping into a Mercedes Benz Maybach (not too shabby) after parking at a rest stop. Apparently, witnesses were pretty much convinced that the pair looked like a couple. But sources close to the 24-year-old model claimed otherwise: “Kendall and friends have a small social circle amongst the group, who have been following the same social distancing and physical distancing guidelines. Devin is a friend and is part of the small group,” a source told TMZ. “They took a road trip for some much-needed air.”

Oh, to “socially distance” by riding out into the Arizona desert in a Maybach! As if the shoddy implications of Kendall’s road trip weren’t troubling enough, though, the Keeping Up With the Kardashians star just so happened to be riding solo with someone formerly linked to her family’s apparent archnemesis, 22-year-old Jordyn.

Source: Instagram

In case you forgot: Jordyn and the KarJenners have been on the worst of terms ever since she was accused of cheating with Tristan Thompson, a.k.a. Khloé Kardashian’s then-partner and father to their daughter, True Thompson. Despite being so close to Kylie Jenner (and by association, Kendall), Jordyn was essentially ousted by the family.

But that was long after she and Devin were an item. Back in 2018, the pair even went on a double-date with Kendall and her ex, Ben Simmons. And now all these years later, Kendall’s spending time with Jordyn’s ex. You could see how that’s drama just waiting to happen.

Our girl Jordyn did not disappoint. The recent Masked Singer contestant took to Twitter when the news broke to share a series of trash emojis. While she’s since deleted the tweet, fans are convinced that it was a not-so-subtle way of addressing her ex-boyfriend possibly dating her ex-friend. Aside from the emojis, Jordyn also tweeted, “haha good morning”—seemingly laughing at the story altogether.

5 Movies Like ‘Extraction’ for All the Action You Need This Week

With dreams of summer action blockbusters fading by the day, Netflix treated its subscribers to Extraction—a film perfectly primed to fill the void. The trafficking thriller became one of the streaming platform’s top trending movies in its first weekend, already leaving fans hungry for more movies like Extraction.

While there’s a possibility we could see a sequel (especially after that uncertain ending), for now, fans of Extraction have plenty of similar options to enjoy. Chris Hemsworth’s brooding mercenary character isn’t the only one of his kind as far as nonstop action films go. The picks below feature former operatives, handsome hitmen, brooding bodyguards, and desperate fathers alike—all in search of someone to rescue (and others to fight).

Read on for StyleCaster five recommended movies like Extraction available to stream now.

Man on Fire (2004)

Man on Fire walked so that Taken could run. This early masterpiece of the trafficking-thriller genre stars Denzel Washington as an ex-CIA agent, hired on as the bodyguard for a wealthy family’s child, played by a young Dakota Fanning. The landscape of Mexico City begins to confirm why this child needed so much protection in the first place: She is kidnapped by a gunman, and the expert operative goes to extreme, often violent lengths through CDMX corruption to retrieve her.

Buy: Rent 'Man on Fire' on Prime $3.99

Taken (2008)

“I will look for you, I will find you, and I will kill you.” If you haven’t heard that quote by now, what are you doing? Go watch Liam Neeson as an unassuming actioner on a mission to find his daughter after she is stolen into a sex trafficking ring. And if you have seen Taken, remember that there’s also a Taken 2 and Taken 3. Get watching!

Buy: Rent 'Taken' on Prime $3.99

The Man From Nowhere (2010)

This South Korean favorite follows the story of a notoriously private pawnshop owner who launches a violent mission to save a little girl, So-mi, when she is kidnapped by a drug lord. Her mother, a heroin addict, gets tied up with the wrong crowd—leaving the man “from nowhere” as her daughter’s only hope.

Stream 'The Man From Nowhere' on Prime 12.99

Prisoners (2013)

This criminally underrated thriller stars Hugh Jackman as the father of a girl who, along with her best friend, has been mysteriously abducted in their quiet neighborhood. What gives Prisoners an edge against most films of the kidnapping-genre is the pursuant’s relationship to a detective, played by Jake Gyllenhaal, which makes the search for his daughter all the more complex.

Stream 'Prisoners' on HBO 14.99

buy it

John Wick (2014)

John Wick is a man who has lost everything: His wife dies, his car is stolen, and the puppy she gifted him is killed, too. With little left to live by, the retired hitman goes a vengeful mission to set things straight. Oh, and there’s a bounty on his head—portrayed by the ever-beloved Keanu Reeves.

Buy: Rent 'John Wick' on Prime $3.99

Sturdy Yoga Block and Strap Sets to Enhance Your Flexibility & Form

Beginner yogis have high expectations regarding what the practice can do for their bodies, but not everyone was born to effortlessly stop, drop and backbend. Things like flexibility, poise, grace and balance come with time, a lot of dedication and a little help from some key yoga accessories. Of course, there are some yoga accessories, like towels and wheels, that you might see as optional incidentals rather than necessities. But other props, like yoga blocks and straps, are useful to have on hand no matter what type of yoga you practice as they can help you progress in these fundamental areas.

When we say “yoga block,” you might envision a hard, rectangular lump in the middle of your mat, but we promise these props are actually super comfortable to use. Typically, yoga blocks are made from foam, bamboo, cork or wood and are designed with surfaces that are non-slip, easy to grip and comfortable to balance under your hands, feet and bottom. They are meant to support your muscles in difficult poses, act as an extension of your arms and feet, and help to establish proper alignment.

Not to be confused with resistance bands, the purpose of a yoga strap is to help you achieve a deeper stretch and extend your range of motion. Yoga straps come in different sizes to cater to yogis of different heights, and usually feature a metal buckle for adjustments. The combination of yoga blocks and straps can elevate your practice in countless ways, from increasing your range of motion to correcting your form, and so on. If you’re ready to progress in your practice, check out the yoga block and strap sets below.

UV Sanitizers to Clean & Deodorize Stinky Shoes

I’ve battled stinky feet for my entire lifetime, and while I’ve tended to rely on odor-reducing powders and a few clever DIY hacks like placing scented dryer sheets in my running shoes to refreshen things up, these remedies traditionally only mask the foul smell — they don’t really tend to address the problem that’s causing it. While I’ve been known to toss a pair of gym shoes in the laundry during desperate attempts to save a favorite pair of sneakers, this method is yet another temporary quick fix — it’s certainly not a longterm solution.

Fortunately, you’re not completely out of luck when it comes to cleaning, sanitizing, and getting rid of your shoe’s offensive stink factor for good. UV (ultraviolet) sanitizers designed specifically to target and get rid of odor-causing bacteria and fungus in your shoes now exist, and they’re truly game-changers. Not only do these next-level devices get rid of odor, but they also kill bacteria and fungus, which both put you at greater risk for developing infections. Rather than trying to merely hide the stench in your shoes without addressing the actual source of it, we strongly suggest investing in one of these bacteria-killing gadgets to get the job done right.
