The Year of the Ox is around the corner. And while sitting at home in our sweat sets is not exactly the way we imagined welcoming the new year, it’s the safest way to do so. You can even don your red number.

Here are some ways you can take part in the celebrations—all from the comforts of your couch!

The one thing in my apartment I haven’t grown sickly tired of is candles.

Candles weren’t always a staple home good in my life. I was more of a turn-all-the-lights-on kinda gal. But all that changed after one fateful discovery three years ago in Lisbon. It was the city’s oldest candle shop that kicked off my love affair with waxy sticks. I secured a batch of celadon columns, and that was it. Candles 4 life.

And here we are now, friends. Still a candle person, and many favorites to share.
