Tending Your Little Lights:
A Fairy's Guide

  1. A Cozy Nook for Your Little Lights: Tuck your precious candles into a cool, shadowy, and dry haven, just like little woodland creatures finding a peaceful spot. And for your slender taper candles, let them rest gently on their sides, like delicate flower stalks, so they don't get bent.

  2. Whispering Away Dust and Smudges: To keep your glowing gems looking their fairest, softly brush away any tiny dust sprites or little fingerprints with the gentlest touch of a soft petal. A dewdrop or two on your petal can help, but be as light as a butterfly's wing.

  3. Melting Away Waxy Tears with Warmth: When little rivers of wax gather, give your candle a warm bath in gentle water, like a woodland pool, to melt them away. Or, for a quick enchantment, place the holder in the frosty realm of the ice box for a little while – the wax will shrink like a startled pixie, making it easy to lift away.

  4. Kindness for Glass Homes: Be ever so gentle with your glass votive homes, little gardener. Never use sharp claws or tools that might scratch their delicate surfaces. A loving touch will keep them sparkling like enchanted dew drops.

  5. A True Home for Every Flame: Always make sure your little light has a proper home – a candleholder made just for it. Everyday glass vessels are not strong enough to embrace the warmth of the flame.

  6. A Tiny Drop of Magic for Easy Tidying: A few shimmering drops of water at the base of a votive home can make tidying easier, like a little rain washing away the soil. But be careful not to add too much, little friend, or it might dampen the flame's happy dance.
