Set the stage for perfection. Always place your candle on an even, protected surface. Keep it away from drafts, vents, or anything that flirts with fire—let’s keep things smokin’, not dangerous.

Before every burn, give that wick a trim—5mm is your magic number. It’s the key to a cleaner, safer, and smoke-free glow. Plus, it’ll make your candle last longer. Think of it as candle self-care.

Give your candle time to shine. Let the wax melt completely across the surface—it may take 3 to 4 hours, but trust us, it’s worth it. A little wax on the outer wall? Totally normal. But remember, never burn for more than 4 hours, and never leave it alone. Safety first, always.

When you’re down to the last 2cm of wax, it’s time to wrap things up. Pop your candle in the freezer, and the wax will slide out like a dream. Now it’s all about the up-cycle—reuse that glass and get creative. Need inspo? Head to our socials for some serious upcycling vibes.
