Candle Care & FAQ

🕯 Candle Care & FAQ

Because apparently common sense needed a rebrand.


🔥 How to Not Ruin Your Candle

  • Trim the wick — every burn. ÂĽ-inch. No mushroom clouds, no excuses.

  • Commit to the first burn — melt the wax edge-to-edge or live with regret (and tunneling).

  • 3-4 hours max — your candle needs boundaries; you should learn from it.

  • Keep it still while lit — you can shake cocktails, not candles.

  • Stop at ½ inch — that’s self-preservation, not waste.


🙄 Frequently Annoying Questions

Can I drink a Burnt & Iced candle?
No, the “ice” is wax. We’re cute, not caffeinated.

It’s tunneling—help?
Wrap the jar in foil like a sad little baked potato and relight until even. Next time, follow directions.

Why isn’t it choking my living room in scent?
Because we don’t pour chemicals by the gallon. Handmade = balanced. Try a smaller room or multiple candles.

The top looks weird.
That’s frosting, not failure. Handmade texture is the new luxury.

How do I clean it out?
Boil water, dump, wipe, repurpose. Plant something or store secrets. We don’t care.

Do you take returns?
Only if it arrived broken and you email nicely. “Didn’t match my vibe” isn’t a reason.

How long does it last?
About 40 hours—or one breakdown and three re-lights, whichever comes first.

Can I burn it all day?
Technically yes. Realistically no. Blow it out, hydrate, relight later.
