SNUFFER’S ARE THE KEY TO A SMOKE-FREE HOME
As ancient as they may seem, snuffers prove to be not only useful but elegant, bringing a luminous feel to your home when used as a piece of décor.
Snuffers prevent unwanted wax splatters from spilling onto your beloved furniture as well as preventing the wick from incurring any damage to its delicate strings.
The Lena Candle Snuffer, which is also available at Anthropologie, provides a safe and stylish way to extinguish the flame on your candle.
This snuffer is crafted with aluminium, steel, and rattan, and it is recommended that it be cleaned with a cloth very lightly to remove any debris or wax that may stick to any of its surfaces after use.

TRIM YOUR WICKS, TRUST ME, YOU WON’T REGRET IT
You know that annoying black plume of smoke that comes from your candle about the 5th time you’ve burnt it, well that would be because you’re not trimming your wicks.
An annoying, yet a necessary task that can save loads of time spent cleaning the stains from the smoke that eventually builds up on your walls and ceilings.
The Lumira Candle Wick Trimmer from Adore Beauty is the perfect tool to keep your wick looking nice and fresh.
The wick trimmer is simple yet stylish and would suit a variety of different colour schemes due to its matte black appearance. Lumira recommends trimming your wick to the 5mm mark to have the perfect length wick. The resulting flame on your candle will not only be cleaner, but crisper and brighter in light.
