How do I care for my candle?
To get the most out of your candle follow the tips below for ultimate candle care:
Always remove the lid or duster (if you candle has one) before lighting.
Trim your wick to 1/8 inch before every use. This means you should trim your wick before lighting your candle every single time after the first burn.
Burn your candle for at least 2 - 3 hours especially the first burn to prevent tunneling. Don’t burn for more than 4 hours at a time.
Let your candle cool completely before touching or relighting (Tin candles get hot do not touch until wax is cool).
If your flame seems too big, snuff your wick, let the candle cool. Trim the wick and light again.
Keep wax pool clean of debris.
Burn on a flat, hard heat resistant surface.
Never move candle while lit or leave unattended.
Make sure candle is away from any flammables or draft.
Always keep candle out of reach of children and pets.

What are some ways I can repurpose my empty candle jar?
We all have been here. I have all these empty candle jars but I feel bad about throwing them away. All of our Signature vessels are mean to be repurposed and reused. Here are some suggestions on how to upcycle your empty candle vessels:
Pencil holder, Jewelry Jar, Paper clip holder, Holder for Q-tips and cotton balls, Make up brush holder, Flower pot (perfect for succulents), Coin collector , Body Scrub container, Match holder, Candy holder, Bacon grease jar, Pasta Noodle holder, Kitchen utensil holder, Bobby pin holder, Hair bow holder, Dog treat holder, Business card holder & many many more!
One of my same sized candles seems to have more wax in it.
All of our candles are poured by hand meaning there will be variations which is expected and normal. Your candle will always have a minimum of 1.5 oz. (Candle Shots), 3 oz. (Travel Tins), 6 oz. (Signature Tin) or 12 oz. (Area Vessel) of wax in its vessel. If you get lucky it may just have a little bit more!
