Candle Care 101: Get the Best Glow from Your Dream Sista Candles!

Candles aren’t just for setting the mood—they’re for creating a vibe. And to get the most out of your Dream Sista Candles (made with love and eco-friendly coconut wax, of course), here's how to keep them burning beautifully—and safely!

Candle Safety: Keep it Cozy, Keep it Safe!

  1. Never leave a burning candle unattended.
    You wouldn’t leave your favorite Netflix show running unattended, right? Same goes for candles! Blow it out before you leave the room to avoid any fire hazards.

  2. Keep candles out of reach.
    Candles + kids or pets = a recipe for disaster. Place your candle somewhere safe, where little hands (or paws) can’t get curious.

  3. No moving a lit candle.
    Candles on the move? Nope! Once lit, let it stay put on a stable, heat-resistant surface.

  4. Store your candles properly.
    Keep your candles in a cool, dry place. Direct sunlight and extreme temps are their arch-nemesis—just like that one friend who never keeps their cool.

  5. Snuff it out, don’t blow it out.
    Gently blow out the flame or use a snuffer. Blowing may send hot wax flying. No one wants to see a hot wax splatter—trust us!

  6. Keep away from drafts.
    Air currents and your candle are like oil and water. Let your coconut wax melt evenly by keeping candles away from drafts, vents, and fans.

  7. Stop burning when there’s 1cm of wax left.
    That last little bit of wax might be tempting, but don’t risk cracking your container! When there’s just a tiny bit left, it’s time to say goodnight.

How to Burn Your Coconut Wax Candles Like a Pro

  1. Trim your wick to 5mm.
    Coconut wax is clean-burning, but trimming your wick helps it burn steady, reduces soot, and ensures your candle lasts longer. It's like giving your wick a little haircut!

  2. Don’t burn for more than 3-4 hours.
    Keep your burns short and sweet! This helps your candle perform at its best and keeps things safe (and your space smelling amazing).

  3. Center the wick for an even burn.
    An off-center wick can cause uneven burning (and we all know uneven is never cute). Keep it centered for a perfect burn every time!

  4. First burn is key!
    For our cement jar candles, let the wax melt all the way to the edges during the first burn. This prevents tunneling and ensures you get every drop of that glorious coconut wax.

  5. Use a coaster for delicate surfaces.
    Your candles are stunning, but your furniture might need a little extra TLC. Use a heat-resistant coaster to keep surfaces safe from heat damage.

With these simple, safe, and love-filled tips, you’ll get the most out of your Dream Sista Candles (and their fabulous coconut wax), ensuring they burn beautifully and safely.

So go ahead—light that candle, kick back, and enjoy the glow of a job well done. 🌟
