Support your Presidential candidate and Wounded Warriors with these candles

Hotel Collection Presidential Candles to support your candidate
Hotel Collection

Biden or Trump, that’s the prevailing question for the upcoming Presidential election. Regardless of how you feel about one or the other, there’s an opportunity to show your support for your top choice and give back to the community at the same time. Hotel Collection has introduced two exclusive candles, one each for Biden and Trump. With every purchase, Hotel Collection will donate to the Wounded Warriors Project, putting some of the proceeds to an excellent cause. You get a fantastic-smelling candle, can support your Presidential pick, and give back to wounded warriors. That’s quite the win, I’d say. But what do those candles smell like? Let’s take a closer look.

The Biden Presidential candle

Biden’s candle and the resulting fragrances are about setting a calm, enjoyable ambiance. This candle, infused with white tea, ginger, and musk, has a single-wick design and lasts about 90 hours. It exudes simplicity and elegance, with scents like cedarwood, vanilla, amber, aloe vera, sandalwood, lily, and musk. Your home or living space will smell fresh, luxurious, and inviting.

The candle also features Biden’s presidential photo and slogan: “Together, we can finish the job.”

The Trump Presidential candle

Trump’s Presidential candle is meant to evoke sophistication and luxury. Also featuring a single wick design and a burn time of 90 hours, it gives off notes of Tuscan leather, cinnamon, sandalwood, Vetiver, and Iris. It’s delightful yet glamorous and will fill your home with sense-provoking notes.

The candle also features Trump’s presidential photo and slogan: “Make America Great Again!”

Similar to the election later this year, Hotel Collection is tallying the number of candles sold for each candidate. You’ll be able to see who’s showing the most support and whose supporters are raising the biggest donation for the Wounded Warriors Project. You can even see where in the country those candles are being sold. It’s a pretty neat idea, frankly, but it’s inspiring to see how much is going to those in need.

Hotel Collection’s Presidential candles are safe for children and pets, crafted via cruelty-free processes and offer pure, luxury fragrances, as you might have noted from the candle descriptions above.

What are you waiting for? Now’s your chance to show your support for your Presidential candidate of choice while also giving back to a great cause.

The first ‘Apprentice’ footage gives us a glimpse of Sebastian Stan’s Donald Trump
The footage features Trump being coached through an interview by Roy Cohn
Jeremy Strong and Sebastian Stan in The Apprentice

Since Donald Trump burst into the political arena in 2015, everyone has done some sort of impression of him. Some of those impressions have been better than others. The Apprentice, though, will be the first time that we see a feature-length performance of Donald Trump on the big screen. Sebastian Stan is taking on a much younger version of the character as he tries to make a name for himself in New York City.

Now, we've got our first glimpse at Stan's Trump impression courtesy of a one-minute clip from the film. In the clip, Jeremy Strong's Roy Cohn coaching Trump as he speaks on the phone to a reporter. “I intend to acquire the Commodore, and I’m planning on making it the best and the finest building in the city, maybe the country — in the world … it’s going to be the finest building in the world,” Stan says in the clip, showing us how subtle his take on the future president is.

Amy Adams turns into a dog in the first trailer for ‘Nightbitch’
The trailer is a reminder of just how stressful motherhood invariably is.
Amy Adams in Nightbitch

Over the course of her long and famously non-Oscar-winning career, Amy Adams has been a lot of things. She's been a linguist working with aliens, a woman with a fake British accent, and a painter. Now, Adams is checking one more thing off of her list by transforming into a dog.

In the first trailer for Nightbitch, Adams plays a mom who puts her career on pause to stay at home with her kids. Unfortunately, the extreme stress of spending all day with her kids ultimately convinces her that she's turning into a dog. The film is based on a novel by Rachel Yoder, and was adapted for the screen and directed by Marielle Heller, who also directed The Diary of a Teenage Girl and A Beautiful Day in the Neighborhood, among other movies. In addition to Adams, the film also stars Scoot McNairy and Zoë Chao.

The 10 best R-rated movies to stream
If you're looking for R rating, these films are for you
Deadpool in Deadpool and Wolverine.

Many movie fans have fond memories of trying to sneak into the theater to watch an R-rated movie or peaking into the living room while their parents are viewing a violent or sexually explicit film for a glance at the inappropriateness of it all. As we get older, though, we realize there's a lot more to these age-restricted pictures than what's on the rating by the Motion Picture Association.

Sometimes graphic, gory, or steamy scenes are required to get a point across to the audience. You can't make a classic horror movie without a little blood. You can't depict a religious crucifixion in a G-rated way. These are the best R-rated movies, from science-fiction epics to raunchy rom-coms.
