Get The Most Burn From Your Candles

We love the warm ambience that glowing candles create throughout our homes. I like to have seasonal and signature scents {Shop Bridget Beari Candles} that infuse fragrant familiarity and a warm, welcoming vibe year-round. Whatever your candle sense, there are ways to extend the life of your candles so that you can enjoy their fragrance and light as long as possible.

A brief video, sharing my main wax facts to get the most life from your candles: trim the wick trick, find your match, flame timeframe and freeze to ease!

Suggestions for best candle etiquette:

• Don’t blow it! Use a candle snuffer to gently put out the flame, which prevents wax and soot from being blown around.

• Reposition the wick to center while wax is still slightly warm to avoid smoke soot on glass at next burn.

• Clean soot and wick debris from candle surface and glass with warm, soapy water for a more even burn.

• Keep the candle covered with its lid between use to prevent dust.

• Store candles in a cool, dry place away from directly sunlight and other heat sources.

• And, most importantly, never leave a candle unattended!

While I could wax poetic all day on the delights of candles and their care, it’s time for you to practice your own candle etiquette. Below are some of my favorite scented candles that we offer at Bridget Beari Home Store. The Kyoto Quince is my home’s year-round signature fragrance when I’m not switching to seasonal scents. I love Moon Wisteria for fall and of course Winter Berry for the holidays! What’s your home’s signature fragrance?

Years ago, I fell in love with the KOBO collection of pure soy candles for their unique fragrances and environmentally kind manufacturing. Each is made with domestically grown and environmentally sustainable soybeans, which creates a clean burn and divine level of fragrance. I was excited to share them with my clients and customers and now they have become one of our most sought-after items at Bridget Beari Home Store.
