• Never leave a burning candle unattended, and keep away from children and pets
• The first time you light your candle, let the melted pool of wax reach the edge of the container before extinguishing it
• Before lighting, trim wicks to about ¼ of an inch to prevent sooting and uneven burning
• Keep wick trimmings and foreign materials out of the candle container
• Burn candles on a heat resistant surface and away from flammable materials (Paper, tablecloths, curtains, etc.)
• Do not burn in a drafty area, and keep away from vents, fans, and open windows
• Stop burning when ½ an inch of wax remains
• Do not burn candles for longer than 3 hours
• Take care when extinguishing candles

All Vespertine Studio candles are made with 100% soy wax, an eco-friendly all-natural alternative to typical paraffin candles. In addition to being non-toxic, soy wax also burns slower and last much longer.

I make all of my candles with no dyes and only non-toxic phthalate-free fragrances, most of which are infused with essential oils. These candles are also cruelty free, as I and my suppliers never test on animals.

I draw my inspiration from things I'm passionate about. Nature, folklore, divination, and a variety of mystical and esoteric themes give my candles a unique vibe and aesthetic.
