#candle tip

Before you leave the house or go to bed, make sure your candles are ALL THE WAY OUT. Sometimes that tiny little ember at the bottom of the wick or the tiny flame still alight in the remaining oil can turn into really big problems 😅

here's a picture of a fully liquefied top layer! I don't know if you guys could see, but this picture also shows the wick beginning to bud, so this wick will be needing trimming. c:

hello, my dear loves! candle mama is back just in time for the start of candle season! so you've picked your candle and trimmed your wicks. good job! now it's time to let that Motherfucker burn! light your candle and go on your merry way! now, I already mentioned this in a previous post, but let me reiterate - YOU WANNA MAKE SURE YOU GET IN SOME GOOD BURN TIME! LET THE WAX POOL! "but what does that even mean, candle mama?" your wonderful self might be asking. you are gonna wanna make sure that the whole top layer of your candle is liquified before you turn it off, or your candle will tunnel! with the jar candles, that could be from 4-6 hours. with tumblers, that could be about an hour or two. you wanna keep your time constraints in mind to get the most out of your candles! I'll post a picture later for anyone who needs a visual. c:

True story.

Lighting candles and only leaving them lit for a short period of time before an even wax pool occurs can often led to that horrible tunnelling effect! Let your candles burn until a wax pool occurs if you can!
