Tips
HOW TO LOVE YOUR CANDLE
For a clean burn, a calm space, and lasting glow
General Tips
Trim the wick before each burn: — Cotton wick: ¼ inch — Wood wick: ⅛ inch.
Let the wax pool reach the edges during the first burn to prevent tunnelling (see Understanding Candle Tunnelling & Wax Memory)
Avoid burning longer than 4 hours to maintain scent quality and wick health
Keep away from drafts for an even burn and steady flame
Place on a heat-safe surface to protect surroundings
Cotton Wick Care
Trim with scissors or a wick trimmer for a clean flame
Remove “mushrooming” carbon buildup before relighting
Allow wax to fully cool before trimming wick
Wood Wick Care
Trim wick by gently pinching, using a wick trimmer or nail clippers once cooled. Remember it is not a wood that fuels the flame but a wax therefore wood wick should be trimmed to ⅛ inch.
Ensure wick stays centered and upright
To relight:
Tip candle slightly, allowing flame to catch along the wood edge and in the case of a wick 3-4cm wide light it from both edges
Enjoy the soft crackling sound—part of its charm
Safety First
Never leave your candle unattended
Keep away from children, pets, and flammable items
Stop use when only ½ inch of wax remains to avoid overheating the jar
Understanding Candle Tunneling & Wax Memory
What Is Candle Tunneling?
Tunneling happens when only the center of the candle burns, leaving unmelted wax around the edges. Over time, this creates a “tunnel” through the wax, which wastes product and makes it hard to relight the wick.
What causes it?
Short burn sessions (especially the first few)
Not allowing the wax to melt all the way to the jar’s edge
How to prevent tunneling
On the first burn, always let the candle melt until the surface is fully pooled—this can take 2–4 hours, depending on size.
What Is Wax Memory?
Wax has a kind of “memory”! The area it melts during the first burn becomes the path it will follow next time. If you extinguish the candle too early, the wax may only melt that narrow tunnel from then on.
Think of wax memory as your chance to train the candle—get the first burn right, and future ones will follow beautifully.
Tip for loving your candle:
Treat your first burn like a ritual—set aside enough time for the wax to fully pool across the surface. Your candle will thank you with cleaner, longer-lasting glows.
Fresh Flower Bouquet Care Tips
Keep your blooms joyful and long-lasting with a few mindful steps
Prep & Placement
Unwrap carefully and remove any packaging materials like rubber bands or plastic sleeves
Use clean scissors or garden shears to trim stems at a 45° angle—this helps flowers absorb more water
Remove lower leaves that sit below the waterline to prevent bacterial growth
Place in a clean vase filled with room-temperature water and flower food if provided
Daily Care
Change the water every 1–2 days to keep bacteria at bay
Re-trim stems slightly every few days for fresher water uptake
Keep away from direct sunlight, heat sources, and cold drafts to slow wilting
Avoid placing near ripening fruits, which release ethylene gas that can shorten bloom life
Bonus Tips
If your bouquet includes delicate flowers like tulips or sweet peas, keep water levels low to avoid stem rot
For woody stems like roses or hydrangeas, use warm water and make deeper stem cuts
Remove fading blooms to encourage freshness in others
Boxed Flower Arrangement Care (with Floral Foam)
Hydration Is Key
Check daily if the foam feels dry to the touch
Add fresh water slowly to the foam base—use a spouted container or syringe to avoid splashing petals
Water every 1–2 days depending on temperature and flower type
How to Water Safely
Gently pour water near the base of the stems, not directly on the blooms
Tilt the box slightly to help excess water settle evenly
Stop when the foam feels evenly moist but not soggy
Placement & Environment
Keep the arrangement in a cool, shaded area
Avoid direct sunlight, heat sources (like stoves or radiators), and cold drafts
Keep away from ripening fruit, which emits gases that can shorten flower life
Prolonging Beauty
Remove any wilted or fading flowers to keep the rest fresh
Lightly mist petals (except for delicate varieties like orchids or tulips) to refresh
Avoid touching the blooms too often—natural oils on hands can bruise petals
