Homesickness. You never think you're going to feel it until....you feel it. It happens when you least expect it.

You're laying down in your dorm in Chicago or New York or Missoula and suddenly, BAM. It happens. You miss home. You miss your family and your old friends. You miss your pet. You miss your cozy bedroom filled with old One Direction posters. You miss your home state. Whether that be Virginia or California or Florida, you find yourself longing for what used to be.

You're not really sure why you feel this way. After all, you spent so much time fantasizing about leaving. But there you are, feeling nostalgic as ever for your old home.

Now, there's a candle for that. Yes, you heard us right: a candle that smells like your home state.

Homesick Candles state on their website that they "are created by a group of friends who relocated from states they still feel close to. We worked hard to perfect the scent of each state we craft a candle for to create that feeling of home, wherever you may be. We hand pour each of Homesick Candle, using materials 100% made In the USA."

Whether you're missing Ohio and you want to immerse yourself in honeysuckle and carnation...

Or if you're missing the sweet smell of the ocean, cactus and orange that you find in Southern California...

There's a candle for that, too. And if you find yourself missing waking up in Texas, you guessed it.

There's a candle for that! Wake up to fresh cotton and leather with a touch of sage. Or if you hopelessly crave your home state of Washington, no need to fear.

With the Washington candle, you can relax with the romantic scent of coffee, cherries and rain.

Homesick Candles currently has 30 varieties of candles right now and is working on having a candle for every state. But in the meantime, you can sign up for their wait list here to find out when your state will be available for purchase. It's worth the wait and worth the price ($29.95), with a burn time of 60-80 hours.

You'll have something to keep you feeling comforted until you make your next trip back to your home state!
