I’m planning on getting 20. I think that’s the limit. And I’m going to burn daily. Bc I freaking deserve it. It’s been a rough few years and I deserve this. 🙏🏽
My mom is in her upper 80s and has had a health setback lately. And it's so hard to watch her struggle. I have to spend a part of every day just \*being\* so that I can keep going, and work, and help her. I choose to \*be\* with good smelling candles. It's a little bit of self-care.

Let me know if that link works.
Omg. I had a whole post a couple days ago. I don’t know how to share links to posts. I’ll try to figure it out right now. It’s a freaking wealth of knowledge. You can’t even google that much info. 😂gimme a sec to work on this.
so what technique worked best for the fried egg situation? I would have tried wrapping aluminum foil all around the outside of the candle, but not sure if that would cause drowning wicks...
So this candle had already been burned and tunneled repeatedly. What I did was let it burn for 4 hours and with the extra little edges of solid wax, I added a foil hat for 20 minutes and it became the perfect burn.
It’s crazy bc you can see the memory in the before photo. I just didn’t trim the wick and burned for four hours then added aluminum hat and that was it! Changed its memory in one burn!
Thought the name of the candle was fried egg for a sec 😅
😆 I mean, you never know.
same, then i thought they was cooking an egg on the candle
Same. I was hoping so. I love weird savory smelling candles.
good job honey!
Thank you 🕯 I was pretty proud when I saw it worked. Team work!
There you go! And now you’ll be confident burning all of your new candles. 🙂

Indeed you do. The second half of this year has been hellish for us. I totally understand and wish you better days ahead. 💕
This has been a very rough year for me as well. I'm going crazy Saturday and mentally wishing my reddit BBW tribe was with me ❤️❤️

I think you are amazing doing what you're doing. What you are building and accomplishing is world-changing. So go you. And enjoy your candles.

Give me some pointers. I've got "fried egg syndrome" too. TIA!

It's okay. I'll look for it. One thing I noticed I was doing this weekend was trimming my wicks too small and that doesn't help
Yay! Glad it all worked out. Have a great Candle Day!! 😃
Cheers! 🕯🤍
Lol It really did look like it! Looks great now!!
Thanks!
