Getting the most out of your candle is like nurturing a little flame of joy in your space.

Here are some cherished rituals I've learned to make each burn a beautiful experience:

Set the Stage

When you first light your candle, it's like igniting a tiny beacon of warmth. Let it dance and spread its glow by allowing it to burn until the wax pool reaches the edges of its vessel. This not only ensures an even burn but also prevents that pesky 'tunneling' effect, so every moment with your candle is as radiant as the last.

Trim with Care

Trimming the wick of your candle before each burn is a loving gesture. It prevents 'mushrooming'—those little carbon balls that can dull the flame—and helps your candle last longer, ensuring it stays vibrant and bright throughout its life. Aim to trim the wick to approximately 6 millimeters before each burn.

Find the Perfect Sanctuary

Candles are like delicate souls; they thrive in serene environments. Store them in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight. Think of it as giving them a cosy nook to rest in between illuminating your world. This way, they stay pristine and ready to cast their enchanting glow whenever you need a touch of magic.

Cherish Each Moment

Like any good thing, it's important not to overdo it. Never leave your candle burning for more than 4 hours at a time. It's not just about safety; it's about savouring the experience. By allowing your candle time to rest, you're honouring the journey it takes you on each time you light it—a journey of warmth, comfort, and serenity.
