Ah, Valentine’s Day. What’s meant to be a celebration of love and joy can feel like the complete opposite when you’re single.
That’s not to say we’re all miserable – far from it. But with chocolates, flowers, and heart-shaped bears everywhere, it’s hard not to feel the temptation to avoid being alone on February 14.
And listen, I hear you. You might be thinking, surely I can ignore the red flags for just one day, right? Wrong! We’re holding strong in 2025 and keeping the red flags at bay.
Which is how I stumbled upon this self-proclaimed ‘FBoy repellent’—a candle that serves as a gentle reminder to swipe left on all the red flags.
In honour of avoiding the dreaded ‘FBoy’ this V Day, House of Scandal has released a soothing (or sassy) candle to help.
With notes of sage to clear away negative energy, chamomile and geranium to uplift and relax, and lavender to help you sleep through those 2 AM “what you up to” texts, they’ve thought of everything.
So, give yourself the gift of peace this Valentine’s—because it’s all about the slow burn.
