A CAPYLIGHT Ritual

Love Your Glow: The Ritual of Candle Care

Welcome to our fragrant space,

Let's keep safety in its place!

Trim the wick to a quarter-inch size,

To keep the smoke from your eyes.

Never leave a flame alone,

Keep it safe inside your home.

Don't let jars burn down to the base,

And give hot glass its resting space!

Treat them right, and they will pour,

Beautiful scents forevermore.

I'm your little pocket friend,

With a lovely scent to blend.

But when my wax begins to glow,

My metal tin gets hot, you know!

Rest me on a surface tough,

And let me cool when you've had enough.

Watch my glow, but mind the clock,

Four hours max before we stop!

Too much heat can break my glass,

So let me rest, and this will pass.

Trim my wick before we start,

To keep me clean and look the part.

Keep me trimmed, neat, and small,

So I don't drip as I stand tall.

Burn me on a dish or plate,

To catch the wax and keep things great!

Let the wax melt all the way to the edges of the vessel on the first burn — usually 2–3 hours. This prevents tunnelling.

Trim the wick to about 5 mm before every burn for a steady, smoke-free flame.

Do not burn for more than 4 hours at a time. Let the candle cool fully before relighting.
