Hey, candle lovers! We are here to make sure your candle experience is nothing short of amazing. Our candles are more than just a source of light and fragrance. They're a mood booster, a relaxation essential, and a cozy vibe creator. And to help you get the most out of your candle, here are some friendly do's and don'ts of candle care:

1. The Perfect Spot:

  • Do: Find a safe spot for your candle on a stable, heat-resistant surface away from drafts and anything flammable.
  • Don't: Place your candle in windy areas, near curtains, or close to air vents that could disrupt its burn.

2. Trim, Trim, Trim! :

  • Do: Trim your wood wick before each lighting to ensure a clean, even burn.
  • Don't: Trim the wick too short, as this can lead to uneven burning and potential extinguishing issues.

3. Proper Extinguishing:

  • Do: Extinguish your candle by gently blowing it out or using a candle snuffer to avoid splattering hot wax.
  • Don't: Blow too forcefully to extinguish the candle if you don't have a snuffer. It is not a birthday candle! And never attempt to put it out with water.

4. Proper Storage:

  • Do: Store your candle in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to maintain its color and fragrance. After use, either place the dust cover on top or return the candle to its beautiful box that also doubles as decoration to prevent dust and dirt buildup :)
  • Don't: Store your candle near heat sources or in humid environments, as this can alter its composition and scent.

5. Additional Tips:

  • Do: Allow your candle to create a full melt pool (melted wax reaching the edges) on its first burn to prevent tunneling.
  • Don't: Leave a burning candle unattended or within reach of pets and children.

There you have it! With these simple do's and don'ts, you'll keep your candle burning bright and smelling amazing! Stay lit, stay cozy, stay safe, and keep spreading those good vibes :)
