BURNING FOR YOU

You know how most candle stores have that “ohmygawd” gag effect? They smell a little like your grandma’s house: overpowering and sweet enough to induce cavities? Not so at Root Candles. This new Inwood Village shop smells just right. I’m not a candle guy but I fell in love with their collection of votives, pillars, and tapers. This is the first Texas store for the Ohio-based candlemaker. Hint: Don’t miss the cinnamon-scented Original Cinn candles. Tasty.
