Candle Safety Tips: How to Use Candles Safely in Your Home

Candles can add warmth and ambiance to any room, but it's important to use them safely to prevent accidents and fires. In this blog post, we'll go over some simple candle safety tips to help you enjoy your candles safely in your home.

1. Always keep an eye on your candle. Never leave a candle burning unattended, especially in a room where children or pets are present. It's also a good idea to keep candles away from flammable materials and open windows.

2. Use a sturdy candle holder. Make sure that your candle holder is stable and won't tip over easily. Glass candle holders are especially prone to breaking, so be sure to use caution when handling them.

3. Trim the wick. Before lighting your candle, trim the wick to about 1/4 inch in length. This will help prevent the flame from getting too large and keep the candle burning evenly.

4. Don't burn your candle all the way down. When a candle burns down to the bottom, it can create a risk of fire. To prevent this, extinguish the candle when there is about 1/4 inch of wax left.

5. Extinguish the candle properly. When you're finished using your candle, extinguish it by using a candle snuffer or blowing it out. Never use water to extinguish a candle, as it can cause the hot wax to splatter.

By following these simple candle safety tips, you can enjoy your candles safely and without worry. Remember to always use caution and common sense when using candles in your home.

We are opening a store front…

When we started this business, we knew we eventually wanted to open a store front so that we could be found in a more permanent location. Last year we were at an event almost every weekend during the warm season and it was very taxing with the constant loading and unloading.

Trying to get back to work for me post pandemic has also been very challenging because I wanted to find employment where I could be home when the kids are home so that we wouldn’t have to worry about the cost of childcare. We made the decision that I would just focus solely on growing the business and we came to the conclusion that the next step is to open our own store. A month ago we found a location and we started the process but decided to walk away from the lease. It wasn’t going to allow us the flexibility we needed. Here we are, a month later, and we just signed the lease to a location that will be our new store front. We have some painting and minor renovating to do and then we will be ready to open our doors to the public. Our location will be in the Stoney Brook Shoppette in York PA. We will keep everyone with an opening date.
