Tips to Maximize the Life and Scent of Your Cozy Candles

Introduction: Candles are more than just beautiful décor – they’re experiences meant to be enjoyed fully. Whether you’re lighting one for calm, reflection, or to set the mood, here are a few simple ways to get the most life and fragrance from every burn.
Body
1.    Trimming the Wick: Before every burn, trim your wick to about 1/4 inch.  This helps your candle burn evenly, prevents smoke and keeps the flame from getting too large. A clean wick means a cleaner, longer burn. 

2.    Let It Burn Long Enough: On your first light, let the candle burn until the entire surface is melted edge-to-edge. This prevents "Tunneling" and ensures an even melt pool for a stronger scent throw.

3.    Avoid Drafts: Burning your candle near open windows, fans, or vents can cause uneven burning and make the fragrance fade faster. Choose a calm, stable spot for a consistent, beautiful flame.

4.    Cover When Not In use: If your candle comes with a lid, replace it after each use once the wax cools. This helps preserve the fragrance and prevents dust or debris from settling inside. 

5.    Don't Burn Too Long: Limit burns to 3-4 hours at a time. Longer burns can overheat the wax and reduce scent quality over time. 

6.    Extinguishing Properly: To avoid soot and splattering, use a snuffer or gently dip the wick into the melted wax to extinguish the flame, then straighten it again. Avoid blowing out candles, as this can cause uneven burning and affect the scent.

7.    Storage Tips: Store your candles in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures. This helps preserve the fragrance and quality of the wax. Covering your candles when not in use also prevents dust from settling on the surface.

8.    Reuse the Jar: Once your candle is finished, clean out the jar and give it a new life - use it as a plant pot, pen holder, or decorative storage container.
