Essential tips for your candles

Trim your wick
Before each burn, always trim your candle wick to 1/4 inch. This prevents excessive smoking, soot buildup, and ensures a steady, even flame. A trimmed wick makes all the difference!
Use a candle snuffer
For a clean and smoke-free extinguish, use a candle snuffer instead of blowing out your flame. This helps preserve the candle's fragrance and prevents wick debris from falling into the wax pool.
First burn is crucial
During the first use, allow your candle to burn until the entire surface has melted into a liquid pool, reaching the edges of the container. This prevents tunneling and creates an even burn for future uses, making your candle last longer.
Lid after each use
After extinguishing, place the lid back on your candle. This protects the wax from dust and debris, and helps to preserve the candle's scent, ensuring it smells amazing every time you light it.
Care for your glow
Caring for your candles is equally as important as the ambiance they create. Whether you're a candle connoisseur or just beginning to curate your collection, understanding proper candle care is essential to maximize your candles' fragrance, longevity, and overall candle-burning experience.
