Candle Care 101
To get the most out of your candle, think of it like a ritual—a little moment of care goes a long way.
✔ First Burn = Most Important
Let your candle melt all the way to the edges on the first burn (about 2-3 hours). This helps prevent tunneling and ensures an even burn every time.
✔ Trim Your Wick
Before each burn, trim your wick to about ¼ inch. This keeps the flame controlled, reduces soot, and helps your candle last longer.
✔ Burn Time Matters
Keep your candle lit for no more than 4 hours at a time. Give it a break before relighting.
✔ Safe Placement is Key
Always burn on a heat-resistant surface, away from drafts, pets, and anything flammable. Never leave a burning candle unattended.
✔ Extinguish the Right Way
Blowing out a candle can cause wax to splatter. Instead, use a snuffer or gently dip the wick into melted wax and straighten it back up.
Reed Diffuser Care
Low-maintenance, long-lasting, and always on duty.
✔ Set It Up Right
Place your diffuser in a well-ventilated area but away from direct sunlight and heat to prevent quick evaporation.
✔ Flip Reeds for a Refresh
For a stronger scent, flip the reeds every 5-7 days. Just be sure to use a paper towel or gloves—fragrance oil can be messy!
✔ Less is More
If the scent is too strong, remove a few reeds. More reeds = stronger scent, fewer reeds = lighter scent.
✔ Keep It Safe
Diffuser oil is for scenting your space, not your skin. Keep away from children, pets, and furniture to avoid spills or irritation.

A quick burst of freshness, whenever you need it.
✔ Shake Before You Spray
Natural ingredients may settle—give it a quick shake for the best scent distribution.
✔ Mist, Don’t Soak
A couple of spritzes are all you need.
✔ Air, Not Fire
Never spray near open flames, candles, or heat sources.
✔ Test Before Use
If using on fabrics, do a small patch test first to make sure it won’t stain.
✔ Store Wisely
Keep your spray in a cool, dark place to maintain its quality.
✔ Best for Linens
Lightly mist on pillows, bedding, and curtains for a fresh, lasting scent. Let it dry before use.
✔ Refresh Between Washes
