Candle Care Tips for Our Candle Buddies

 Hey Candle Buddies!

Here’s the scoop on making your candles last longer and burn brighter. Whether you’re creating a cozy vibe at home or setting the mood for a night of relaxation, a well-cared-for candle makes all the difference.

Keep Your Wicks in Check

Trim, Trim, Trim! Always keep those wicks trimmed to about 1/4 inch. It’s like giving your candle a fresh haircut—keeps it looking sharp and burning clean without that nasty soot!

First Burn = Best Burn

Melt That Wax: Let your candle burn long enough to melt the entire surface layer on your first go. This prevents tunneling and gives you that even burn we all adore.

Hey Candle Buddies!

Here’s the scoop on making your candles last longer and burn brighter. Whether you’re creating a cozy vibe at home or setting the mood for a night of relaxation, a well-cared-for candle makes all the difference.


Keep Your Wicks in Check

Trim, Trim, Trim! Always keep those wicks trimmed to about 1/4 inch. It’s like giving your candle a fresh haircut—keeps it looking sharp and burning clean without that nasty soot!


First Burn = Best Burn

Melt That Wax: Let your candle burn long enough to melt the entire surface layer on your first go. This prevents tunneling and gives you that even burn we all adore.


Avoid the Drafty Drama

Find Your Candle's Happy Place: Keep your candle away from breezy spots. Nobody likes a shaky flame; it causes uneven burning and messy wax.

Be a Clean Freak

Clear Wax, Clear Mind: Make sure your wax pool is free from debris like wick trimmings and matches. A clean candle is a happy candle!

Perfect Burn Time

Burn Baby, Burn (But Not Too Long): Limit your burn sessions to 3-4 hours. This prevents the wick from misbehaving and keeps the wax from overheating.

Storage is Key

Stay Cool: Store your candles in a cool, dry place. Keep them away from direct sunlight to preserve their color and fragrance.

Squeeze Every Drop

Repurpose Like a Pro: Got a bit of wax left? Use it in a wax warmer or melt it down to make wax melts. You can even freeze the jar to easily remove leftover wax and reuse it as a chic vase or storage container.

With these quick tips, your candles will burn brighter, last longer, and keep you company through countless cozy nights. Remember, when your candles are happy, you're happy!

Stay fabulous, Candle Buddies!

With Love,
