Ready to unleash the full potential of your candles? Follow these fun and simple tips to make every burn a magical experience and keep your candles shining their brightest!


1. Trim Your Wick for a Cleaner, Brighter Flame

  • Always trim your wick to 1/4 inch before lighting! This simple step prevents soot, ensures a clean burn, and helps your candle last longer. Your flame will thank you with a beautiful, steady glow.


2. Go Big on the First Burn!

  • The first time you light your candle, let it burn for at least 2-3 hours (or until the wax melts to the edge). This will create an even pool of wax and prevent tunneling, ensuring your candle burns beautifully down to the last bit.


3. Don’t Overdo It – Keep Burn Time to 4 Hours

  • Candles are like us—they need breaks! After 4 hours of burning, let your candle cool off before relighting. This keeps the flame at its best and avoids overheating the wax.


4. Keep It Calm – Avoid Drafts

  • For the perfect burn, keep your candle away from drafts! Airflow from fans, windows, or vents can mess with your candle’s flame and cause it to burn unevenly. Find a cozy, stable spot for a flawless glow!


5. Snuff, Don’t Blow!

  • Want to avoid smoke and a bent wick? Use a candle snuffer to extinguish your flame like a pro. It’s the safest and most elegant way to say goodbye to your candle until next time!


6. Store Your Candles Like a VIP

  • Treat your candles like royalty—store them in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Heat and sun can fade the fragrance and discolor the wax, so give your candles a peaceful, dark resting spot when not in use.


7. Wipe the Soot Away for a Clean Burn

  • If you notice soot building up on the sides of your candle, just give it a quick wipe with a paper towel. Keeping your candle container clean helps the wax burn evenly and keeps your space looking fresh!


8. No Debris Allowed!

  • Make sure there’s no wick trimmings or other debris floating around in your wax pool before lighting. This simple step will prevent uneven burning and ensure a smooth, safe flame.


9. Mix It Up – Rotate Your Candles!

  • Keep your candle collection in rotation to ensure all your favorites get a turn to shine. This will help maintain the scent strength and make sure your candles aren’t burning out too quickly!


10. Don’t Waste That Wax – Repurpose Leftovers!

  • Got a little wax left at the bottom of your jar? Don’t toss it! Repurpose it in a wax warmer or simply melt it down for another cozy moment. Every bit of wax deserves to be enjoyed!



Pro Tip: The secret to longer-lasting, perfect candles is all in the care. Treat them right, and they’ll reward you with amazing fragrance, ambiance, and a clean burn that lasts! Let your candles be the heart of your space burn them brighter, longer, and safer with these exciting tips. Enjoy the glow!
