Illuminating Self Care a Candlemakers Journey

Hello, candle lovers and kindred spirits! I’m Tanesha, the heart and hands behind the flickering flames that grace your space. Today, I’m thrilled to share a bit about my journey as a candlemaker and the passion that fuels my craft.

The Spark of Inspiration:

As a devoted candle enthusiast, my journey into the world of candlemaking wasn’t just about melting wax and molding it into beautiful shapes. It was ignited by a deeper calling – a passion for promoting self-care among women and fostering a sense of community.

Crafting Light and Love:

Each candle I create is a labor of love, infused with my genuine commitment to promoting self-care. In a world that often moves at breakneck speed, I believe in the power of slowing down, taking a deep breath, and creating a moment of calm amidst the chaos. Candles, with their soft glow and enchanting scents, have the remarkable ability to transform any space into a sanctuary for self-reflection and rejuvenation.

Building a Community of Light Seekers:

Beyond the wick and wax, my mission extends to building a community of like-minded individuals who appreciate the art of self-care. I envision a space where women can come together, share their stories, and find solace in the warm embrace of candlelight. Whether you’re a seasoned candle connoisseur or just beginning your journey into the world of mindful living, you’re invited to join our community.

 

More Than Just Candles:

This blog is not just about candles; it’s a celebration of the small moments that light up our lives. I’ll be sharing tips on creating the perfect ambiance, exploring the benefits of aromatherapy, and diving into the world of intentional living. Together, let’s discover how the simple act of lighting a candle can be a catalyst for positive change in our lives.

Join Me on This Illuminating Journey:

I’m excited to embark on this illuminating journey with you. Together, let’s create a space where self-care is not just a luxury but a necessity, and where every flicker of flame becomes a reminder to prioritize our well-being.

Thank you for allowing me to share my passion with you. Stay tuned for more candle magic and moments of self-care.

With love and light, Tanesha

Candle Care Tips We want you to get the best experience from your candles! Follow these simple tips to ensure a safe, long-lasting, and beautifully fragrant burn every time. 1. Trim the Wick – *Before each burn*, trim the wick to about *¼ inch*. This helps prevent excessive smoking, sooting, and an uneven flame. – A shorter wick also keeps the flame steady and allows the candle to burn more slowly, giving you a longer-lasting candle. 2. Let the Wax Melt Evenly – On your *first burn*, allow the candle to melt across the entire surface, edge to edge. This helps prevent *tunneling* and creates an even wax pool. – Aim to burn for about *1-2 hours per inch* of candle diameter (e.g., a 3-inch-wide candle should burn for about 3 hours on its first use). 3. Burn Safely – Place your candle on a *heat-resistant surface* away from drafts, flammable items, pets, and children. – Never leave a burning candle unattended. – Extinguish the candle if it’s flickering excessively or the flame is too high, as this can be a sign the wick is too long. 4. Avoid Burning for Too Long – We recommend burning your candle for *no more than 4 hours* at a time. This helps preserve the quality of the scent and prevents the glass from overheating. 5. Keep the Wax Clean – To ensure the best fragrance experience, keep the wax pool free of wick trimmings, matches, and other debris. 6. Extinguish Properly – To avoid smoke and preserve the candle’s fragrance, use a *candle snuffer* to extinguish the flame, or dip the wick into the melted wax and straighten it afterward. Blowing out the flame can cause smoke and disrupt the scent. 7. Stop Using When Low – Discontinue use when *½ inch of wax remains* at the bottom of the candle. This prevents overheating and helps keep your surfaces safe. — Following these tips will help you get the best out of your candles, ensuring a safe, even burn every time. Enjoy the warmth, ambiance, and fragrance!
