A little candle confession… 🫣
Two nights ago, I accidentally left one of my candles burning overnight. 🫠
I like to randomly test my candles to make sure they continue performing to the standards I have set for Her Dream Co.
A couple of days ago, I started burning Sweet Sunday in the morning, letting it burn on and off throughout the day. That evening, I lit it again with the intention of enjoying it for just a couple more hours.
Well… I went to bed and completely forgot about it. 🫣
The next morning, I woke up to find Sweet Sunday STILL burning!
The flame was steady, the jar was only warm to the touch, and there were no obvious signs of overheating.
Now, while I would NEVER intentionally test a candle this way, I couldn’t help but appreciate how well it appeared to perform under circumstances it was never meant to be in.
This is exactly why I put so much time and effort into testing every candle before it ever reaches your home. From wick selection to burn performance, there is so much behind the scenes that goes into creating a Her Dream Co candle.
That being said, I want to make something VERY clear:
PLEASE never leave a candle burning unattended or while you sleep.
I was incredibly fortunate that nothing happened. Even though my candle appeared to perform well, that doesn’t mean the situation was safe. There are so many factors that can turn an unattended candle into a dangerous situation.
Consider this your friendly reminder to always blow out your candles before bed!
And maybe a little reminder that even the candle maker forgets sometimes. 🫣🤍
