FAQs


What type of wax do you use for your candles?

All of my candles, unless otherwise stated in their description, are made with natural coconut soy wax. The coconut soy wax mix I use is vegan, FDA approved, clinically tested to be skin safe, and is clean burning and non-toxic.

Why use coconut soy wax?

Coconut soy wax is stated to be the best and the healthiest of waxes available for candle making. It is made from the cold-compressed meat and oils of the coconut and mixed other natural waxes, mainly soy. Coconut wax has a bright white color and is smooth compared to other waxes. There is usually no dimpling, like there is with pure soy. It burns cleaner and produces less soot so you don’t have to clean your ceilings or other surfaces. It also has a longer burn time and superior scent throw. You can enjoy your amazing smelling candles even longer. And last but not least, it is one the most renewable and eco-friendly options for candles there currently is.

How and when do I trim my wicks?

Always ensure the wick is no longer than 1/4” (5MM) before each use for cotton wicks, and 1/8” (3MM) for wooden wicks. There are lots of tools and ways to trim the wicks, but the recommended and safest way is to used a tool specifically designed for this purpose. A wick trimmer will give you the correct length every time. No measurements or guessing needed. Please allow wax to completely cool and reharden before trimming wick.

I am not getting a full melt pool, is there something wrong with my candle?

Coconut wax doesn't always get a full melt pool on the first few burns, this is normal and expected. There should be no more than 1/4” of wax around the rim. By the third to fourth subsequent full burn, you should achieve a full edge to edge melt pool.

My candle won’t stay lit.

Wooden wicks can be a little tricky, especially when you aren’t used to them. A wooden wick that is too long may burn out before burning your candle. Simply trim the wick to appropriate size. A wooden wick that has too much dead wood, (the black wood towards the top of the wick) can also cause burn issues. The best thing to do if you see excess dead wood, is to simply trim the wick to appropriate size. If you do not yet have wick trimmers, you can wait for the wax to completely cool and reharden, and then turn the vessel upside down and gently touch/pinch the dead would. You shouldn’t have to apply much force here at all, it should come off easily. Be careful not to take too much off. If the wick is too short, there’s not much you can do other than removing some wax from the candle which can be a tricky process. Message me if your having this issue and I will see if I can safely guide you to fixing the issue.

How did you get into candle making?

In 2020 I learned I would be losing my job, and at first I was horrified not knowing what I would do. What my skills were after being in EMS for over six years. Then one day driving home, I had this idea, kind of like an epiphany lol. I would start embracing my creative side and do something I think I would like, and the idea of making candles popped into my head. That’s when it all started.

What are the most important rules of candle burning?

Every candle comes with a warning sticker, usually on the bottom of the jar, that states the basic and most important rules. Every time you purchase a candle from me, it comes with a candle care card. On that card you would find all the important dos and don’ts of candle burning. To oversimplify the most common and important rules I will state the following:

  • Never leave a burning candle unattended, always burn within sight.

  • Keep candle flame away from flammable objects, drafts, and air vents.

  • Keep out of reach of children and pets.

  • Do not burn for more that four hours at a time.

I would also like to add the following:

  • ALWAYS ENSURE CANDLE IS ON A FLAT, EVEN, STURDY, AND FIRE RESISTANT SURFACE

  • Never move a burning candle.

  • Always trim wicks to appropriate length before re-lighting and keep wick free of debris.

  • Remove any and all large crystals, flowers, or other décor before burning. Yes it’s pretty, but it’s also very dangerous.

Tell Me About Wax Melts


What are wax melts?
Wax melts are scented pieces of wax without a wick. They can come in various types of waxes, shapes, sizes, colors, and fragrances.

How do you use wax melts?
Wax melts are designed to be used with a warmer. A wax warmer can be electric, or contain a space where a tea light candle is placed directly underneath the wax melt and is used as the heating source.

Regardless of which type you have, you simply place one or more wax melts (depending on the size of your warmer and size of the wax melts) onto your warmer’s warming plate. You will then proceed to light the tea light candle, or plug the cord into an outlet and turn on your warmer. As the wax melts, it will allow the fragrance oils to be dispersed and give the room your wonderful aroma of choice. When you are finished, you simply turn off the warmer, or extinguish the tea light. Your wax melts will solidify until you are ready to use them again.

Can I use any wax warmer, including my Scentsy warmer?
Yes, you may use any wax warmer.
However, for a stronger scent (in my own experience) wax warmers with bulbs or that use tea lights, do not get hot enough and therefore do not throw scent very well. I prefer element warmers, the ones that plug in and have heated plates. They get warm enough to melt any wax, including beeswax, and throw scent wonderfully.

When should I change my wax melt?
Typically you should change the wax in your wax warmer whenever you can not smell the fragrance anymore.

How do you dispose of used wax melts?
You should be able to safely pop it/slide it/scoop it right out and toss it in the garbage. If needed, you can turn on the warmer for a few minutes to soften or loosen the wax, be careful not to allow wax to get too hot. Disposing of or mishandling hot wax can result in burns.

Never dispose of wax in the sink, toilet, or any other drain as it may cause blockage.


What’s in your wax melts?
I have two types of wax melts.
First is my own personal proprietary blend of bees and coconut wax designed for maximum hot throw.
Second is a coconut tart wax. Both contain no soy, paraffin, parabens, phthalates, or other unprounancable ingredients.
Fragrance oils used are always premium grade and non-toxic, meaning they are not on the CA Prop 65 list of toxic chemicals. The best part about my wax melts? The ingredients are renewable and ethically sourced. My wax melts have you and Mother Nature in mind.
