General Candle Care + Wick Trimming
-
Trim the wick to ¼” before lighting every time. This makes all the difference in the longevity and clean burning of your candle. A long wick burns much too hot and will both use up the candle more quickly and create soot. Use a wick trimmer or use nail clippers to get a close cut!
​
-
Burn your candle for up to 3-4 hours at a time. It’s very important that the first time you use the candle to burn it long enough for the melted wax to reach the edges of the container. This prevents the wax from building up and possibly tunneling during future use.
​
-
Never leave a candle burning unattended or within reach of a draft, pets, or small children.
​
-
If the flame seems high or the container is too hot in the midst of burning, simply extinguish the flame, let it cool down, trim the wick and restart!

What are scent notes?A candle has three types of notes, a top note, a middle note, and a base note. A top note is the first scent you ‘experience’ when the candle first burns or when you smell it when it is unlit. Then, the middle notes, which can also be called heart notes, are the scent results after the top note has faded a little. This scent that you experience consists of the middle notes of the candle fragrance. Finally, you then have the base note, which are the scents that reveal itself as the candle is lit and burning at a full melt pool (top layer is melted). It can take up to an hour or so for this to occur. So, the true and actual scent of the candle would be the mix of the three notes.

How long will my candle last?Candles that are 10-12 oz will last around ~70-80+ hours and are well suited for larger, open areas in your home. Candles that are 8-9 oz will last ~50+ hours and are well suited for small-medium sized areas in your home. Candles that are 5-7oz will last~25-40+ hours and are great for bathrooms, bedside tables, and smaller, cozy spots in your home.

Why soy wax?It was extremely important to me to make good quality, clean and safe candles and in researching wax I found that 100% natural soy wax was the best out there, it burns cleaner and longer than any other candle. It is a plant-derived and vegan. It has a creamy white appearance and gives an evenness of burn and wax consumption. Our wax is gluten free, toxin free, paraben free, and phthalate free and FDA approved, and made in USA. So, you have peace of mind while using in your space.

What is Reiki?Reiki is an energy healing technique that was developed by Dr. Usui of Japan to assist the flow of life force energy through a person. This movement of energy supports the healing of the physical body, clearing of stagnant energetic blockages, as well as enhances emotional stability. Reiki-infused candles are a wonderful way to elevate the energy of a space because Reiki is not limited to time and space, as the candle burns, it will naturally raise the vibration of your space, allowing you to feel surrounded by peaceful and loving energy.
