STEP ONE: Trim that Wick

Before lighting that match, be sure to trim your wick down to 1/4".

When burning your candle, make sure it sits on a level surface and protect your tabletops by placing it on our LITOTES coasters.

STEP TWO: Give it Time

Your first burn needs to be long enough to melt the wax across the entire surface of the candle.

This extended burning time will help you avoid "tunneling," the term for when wax doesn't spread evenly, leaving a tunnel around the wick. So burn, baby, burn!

STEP THREE: Keep it Undercover

From here on out, be sure to trim your wick down to 1/4" before each burn. When not lit, cover your candle with a glass cloche or lid to preserve its fragrance and prevent dust from settling on the surface.

STEP FOUR: Reuse Your Beautiful Vessel

When only 1/4 inch of wax remains, remove the wax and enjoy it in a wax melter.

Clean the vessel and use it to hold your makeup brushes, pens, or toiletries. It also works as an adorable mini planter.
