| 0:00.0 | My name is Will DeFrees, and this is a Sunday Scaries Podcast. |
| 0:04.0 | You are here for the Sunday Blues. |
| 0:15.0 | As far as seasons go, I hesitate to admit that spring is my least favorite. |
| 0:18.0 | Between realizing I don't fit in my clothes from last summer and those wet, muddy days that seem to outweigh the green ones, |
| 0:24.0 | I just really prefer to fast forward directly to summer. |
| 0:26.0 | The silver lining, however, is something I didn't realize until I began unpacking my scented candles after our recent move. |
| 0:32.0 | Discovering candles that we had purchased but stowed away, I noticed two candles sitting side by side in our packing box. |
| 0:37.0 | The first was my all-time favorite candle, Ernesto by C.R. Trudon, which smells of amber, leather, moss, and tobacco. |
| 0:43.0 | A true wintry scent if I've ever experienced one. |
| 0:46.0 | The second candle was from the same company. This one was called Positano. |
| 0:50.0 | Lily, Peruvian Balsam, Magnolia, Orange Blossom, a much more spring-centric scent that I like but don't necessarily love. |
| 0:58.0 | It's just kind of one that we got as a gift and I thought, you know what, I'll stow this away for a nice spring day. |
| 1:02.0 | But as I looked out the window and saw temperatures in the 70s with blossoms appearing on the trees, |
| 1:07.0 | it felt downright dirty to break out the wintry Ernesto in favor of a summary Positano. |
| 1:11.0 | And at that moment it dawned on me. It's time for some spring-centred candle recommendations. |
| 1:16.0 | Our first candle is from Kavo, a black-owned candle company out of San Francisco. |
| 1:20.0 | The candle featured today has a very Sunday-scary adjacent name. It's called After a Good Cry. |
| 1:25.0 | Because if there's one thing we can all appreciate on Sunday, it's an unnecessary cry, preferably to a 90s romantic comedy. |
| 1:31.0 | Rainwater and lavender combined with vanilla bean and bourbon is a fresh scent that pairs perfectly with your tears. |
| 1:37.0 | My favorite part about this company though, they have playlists that accompany each of their candles. |
| 1:42.0 | By clicking the link on their website, it takes you to Spotify and Apple Music playlist. |
| 1:46.0 | And this particular playlist has everything from Frank Ocean to Elton John to Salonge to James Blake. |
