Candles 101

CANDLES 101

So you LOVE Candles...but don't know a thing about wax or wicks! Let me help you out with a quick Candles 101 course!

Wicks 101:

• Trim your wicks to 1/4" every time before you light your candles.
• All of our wicks are 100% Lead Free!
• An E-Wick is an Elemental Wick made from 100% Cedar wood. It crackles while it burns.
• Break off the burnt pieces of your E-Wick every time before you re-light your candles.

Votives 101:

• Votives burn for approximately 20+ hours.
• Burn your votives in a SNUG votive glass. If your container is not snug on the votive, place it in a clear votive glass and place the cup inside the container.
• Trim your votive wicks just like any other candle.

Jar Candles 101:

• All our glass jar containers are manufactured right here in the USA!
• We sell over 7 styles of Jar candles. 
• They are all made of natural wax blends.

Pillar Candles 101:

• We sell pillars over 8 different sizes.
• Burn your pillars 1 hour for every inch in diameter to get the best burn possible. (Ex: Burn a 3 inch pillar for 3 hours at a time)
• Burn regular pillars down to 1/4". 
• Burn your pillars on a pillar holder or plate, do not place them directly on counter or surface of furniture.
• Hug your pillar candles after extinguishing to help them keep their decorative shape.

Wax Meltables 101:

• Our wax meltables will liquefy in about 10 minutes when they are placed in a Wax Warmer.
• Dial up or dial down the fragrance by increasing the number of wax squares you put in your warmer. More wax = more fragrance. 
• Use your meltables until you can't smell the fragrance anymore.
• To empty out a used meltable put your room temperature Wax Warmer in your freezer for about 5 minutes. The wax should pop right out when it gets cold. You might have to use a butter knife to wedge it out.

Tealights 101:

• We sell 3 different sized tealights; standard and large.
• Use your tealights to illumiate your house. Since tealights are self contained you can put them just about anywhere!
• Use tealights with our Wax Hurricanes to create a soft glow.
