On Sunday, 3 August 2025, Louise Candle brought a heartwarming glow to the Central Singapore Market at Bishan Active Park with our Candle Decorating Experience! Our booth was transformed into a lively, creative space filled with smiles, sparkles, and the scent of handcrafted joy.

Creativity in Every Corner
The highlight of the day? Watching families and friends gather to decorate their own candles - with love, laughter, and a whole lot of glitter! Our decorating station quickly became the heart of the event, where participants could choose from colorful wax chips, delightful toppings, and artistic accessories to personalize their very own candle creation.
It was especially heartwarming to see children dive into the activity with pure excitement. Little hands eagerly reached for their favorite colors, sparkles flew (in the best way!), and proud smiles lit up the park as they completed their masterpieces.

To everyone who came out to support us, thank you for being part of this special day. Your presence, your creativity, and your kindness turned this event into more than just a workshop - it became a beautiful memory for our team and for many families who joined.

we’ll share the best candle safety tips and simple ways to extend the life of your Louise Candle™, so you can enjoy every moment without risk.

Candle Safety Tips: How to Enjoy Candles Without Risks
Candles create a beautiful ambiance, but they are still an open flame and require mindful usage. Follow these key safety tips to keep your home and loved ones safe:

1. Never Leave a Burning Candle Unattended
🔥 Tip: Always stay in the room while your candle is burning. If you’re stepping out, even for a short time, extinguish the flame.

2. Keep Candles Away from Flammable Items
🔥 Tip: Ensure your candle is placed at least 12 inches away from curtains, furniture, books, or any flammable materials.

3. Burn on a Stable, Heat-Resistant Surface
🔥 Tip: Always place your candle on a flat, heat-safe surface to prevent tipping and protect your furniture.

4. Keep Candles Out of Reach of Children & Pets
🔥 Tip: Curious hands and wagging tails can accidentally knock over a candle. Place them in a secure location away from little ones and pets.

5. Extinguish Properly
🔥 Tip: Avoid blowing out a candle, as this can create smoke and send hot wax splattering.
✅ Best Practice: Use a candle snuffer or dip the wick into the wax and straighten it. This prevents smoking and keeps the wick primed for the next burn.

How to Make Your Candles Last Longer: Proper Candle Care Tips
A well-cared-for candle not only burns longer but also delivers a cleaner, more even fragrance. Follow these simple steps to maximize the life of your Louise Candle™:

1. The First Burn is the Most Important
🔥 Tip: Wax has memory! If you don’t allow the wax to melt across the entire surface on the first burn, it will tunnel in future burns.
✅ Best Practice: Burn your candle for at least 2-3 hours the first time to ensure an even wax pool.

2. Trim the Wick Before Every Burn
🔥 Tip: A long wick causes excessive flickering, soot, and uneven burning.
✅ Best Practice: Trim the wick to ¼ inch before each burn for a clean, steady flame.

3. Avoid Drafts
🔥 Tip: Airflow from fans, windows, or vents can cause an uneven burn and shorten your candle’s life.
✅ Best Practice: Place your candle in a draft-free space to maintain an even burn.

4. Don’t Burn for Too Long
🔥 Tip: Burning a candle for more than four hours at a time can cause the wick to overheat, leading to excess soot and wasted wax.
✅ Best Practice: Extinguish your candle after 3-4 hours, let it cool, then relight it later.

5. Store Candles Properly
🔥 Tip: Heat and direct sunlight can cause your candle to lose its scent and fade in color.
✅ Best Practice: Store candles in a cool, dry place with the lid on to preserve fragrance.

Enjoy Every Burn with Louise Candle™

At Louise Candle™, we craft each candle with care, using high-quality wax and clean-burning wicks to provide a long-lasting, safe, and enjoyable experience. By following these safety and care tips, you can make the most of every candle, ensuring it burns beautifully while keeping your home safe.

At Louise Candle™, we know that lighting a candle is more than just filling a room with fragrance—it’s about creating an atmosphere of peace, focus, and mindfulness. Whether you’re deep in meditation, flowing through yoga poses, or simply unwinding after a long day, the right candle enhances the experience.

But did you know that how you burn your candle can affect both its longevity and performance? Soot buildup, tunneling, and an uneven burn can disrupt the soothing experience you’re aiming for. why candles are essential for meditation and yoga—and how to burn them the right way for a perfect, long-lasting glow.

Why Candles are Essential for Meditation & Yoga
Your surroundings play a vital role in your mental clarity and relaxation. When you light a candle, you’re not just setting a mood—you’re engaging your senses in a way that deepens mindfulness. Here’s how:

🕯 Enhances Focus & Intention – Watching the flame dance keeps your attention anchored in the present.
🕯 Promotes Deep Breathing – Calming fragrances like eucalyptus or ylang-ylang encourage slow, mindful breaths.
🕯 Creates a Ritual – Lighting a candle before meditation or yoga signals to your brain that it’s time to relax.
🕯 Balances Energy – Certain scents like windfall (fresh and airy) or peach (warm and uplifting) help shift your mood and energy.

To get the most out of your candle, it's essential to burn it correctly so it lasts longer and continues to provide a clean, beautiful experience.

The Right Way to Burn a Candle: Avoiding Soot & Tunneling
Nothing ruins a peaceful yoga or meditation session like black smoke, an uneven burn, or a candle that tunnels down the middle instead of melting evenly. Here’s how to avoid common candle-burning mistakes:

1. The First Burn is the Most Important
🔥 Tip: Always let your candle burn long enough on the first use so that the wax melts evenly across the top. This prevents tunneling, where wax burns down the center and leaves wasted wax on the sides.

✅ Best Practice: Let it burn for at least 2-3 hours on the first burn.

2. Trim the Wick for a Clean, Bright Flame
🔥 Tip: A long wick produces excess smoke and soot, affecting air quality and the candle’s fragrance throw.

✅ Best Practice: Trim the wick to 1/4 inch before each burn to keep the flame steady and clean.

3. Avoid Drafts for an Even Burn
🔥 Tip: Air movement from fans, windows, or air conditioning can cause uneven burning and excess soot.

✅ Best Practice: Place your candle in a draft-free space to ensure a steady burn.

4. Extinguish the Right Way
🔥 Tip: Blowing out a candle can create smoke and disturb the wax pool.

✅ Best Practice: Use a candle snuffer or gently dip the wick into the melted wax and straighten it. This keeps the wick primed for the next burn.

At Louise Candle™, we craft each candle with care, using clean-burning wax and high-quality fragrances designed to enhance your moments of peace.
