Trim your damn wick!
WHY YOU SHOULD TRIM YOUR WICK ✂️🔥
You might be thinking:
"Oh, that's probably fine."
No. It's really not 😌
TOO LONG A WICK = CHAOS
If your wick is too long, this is what happens:
🔥 The flame gets too big
🔥 Your candle burns far too hot
🔥 The wax melts too quickly
🔥 And suddenly you have soot, smoke, and a small bonfire in the jar
That's not exactly sexy.
SOOT = THE UNATTRACTIVE SIDE OF YOUR CANDLE 🖤
Do you know those black deposits on the glass?
Yes, exactly.
👉 That happens when your wick is too long.
It not only looks bad, but it also means
your candle won't burn cleanly.
YOUR CANDLE WON'T LAST LONG (SURPRISE)
A wick that's too long consumes more wax → empties faster → more money gone
In short:
You're wasting your own candle.
And that's almost disrespectful 😏
HOW TO DO IT RIGHT:
👉 Before every lighting (after the first burn):
Trim the wick to approx. 5 mm
Not too short, not too long – just right.
Like many things in life 😉
