Candle Care Guide


Because every Everyday Candle deserves a little love. 🕯️✨

Our candles are hand-poured with care, ready to fill your home with warmth, light, and a little everyday magic. To keep yours burning beautifully from the first flicker to the very last glow, here are our favorite care tips:

1. Give Your Wick a Little Haircut ✂️

Before lighting, trim the wick to ¼ inch. This keeps the flame steady, the glass clean, and the vibes just right.

2. First Burn = Setting the Mood 💛

Let your candle melt all the way to the edges the first time you light it. This prevents that pesky “tunneling” and means your candle will burn evenly every time.

3. Short & Sweet

Burn your candle for 3–4 hours max at a time. Any longer and the container gets too hot (and we want to keep it cozy, not fiery).

4. Keep It Safe

  • Never leave your candle unattended.
  • Keep it away from little hands, wagging tails, and anything flammable.
  • Place it on a flat, heat-resistant surface so it stays happy and steady.

5. No Drafty Drama

Avoid burning your candle near fans, air vents, or open windows—wind makes flames dance a little too much and causes uneven burning.

6. Snuff, Don’t Huff

To put it out, use a snuffer or gently dip the wick into the melted wax, then straighten it up. This keeps the smoke low and the wick ready for its next moment to shine.

7. A Cozy Home Between Burns

Store your candle somewhere cool and away from direct sunlight to keep its color and scent fresh.

8. Know When to Say Goodbye

Once there’s just ½ inch of wax left, it’s time to retire your candle. (We know—it’s hard to let go. But think of the gorgeous new use for the container!)

9. A Second Life for Your Candle

Our tins and jars make great homes for little plants, desk supplies, or keepsakes. Clean them out and give them a brand-new purpose—you’ll be surprised how pretty “recycling” can be.

Here’s to slow moments, cozy nights, and candles that make every day feel a little more special. 💫
