Chestnuts were synonymous with Christmas in the United States even before the popular carol hit airwaves. In fact, they were one of the most popular ingredients in American dishes throughout the 18th and 19th centuries. Our Inspired scent brings back memories of chestnuts roasting over a fire. Our Candles feature an Amber glass tumbler that measures 3.5" tall with a diameter of 3" and is topped with a natural unfinished pine wood lid. Our Premium blended Soy Wax is all natural and kosher and contains soy additives to enhance the performance of the burn and achieve excellent scent throw. All of our candles feature 100% natural, round knitted wicks with an ultra core for superior scent throw and even melting with no "tunneling". HEAT ALERT! During the hot summer months, we prefer to ship Monday thru Wednesday to prevent your product being held in a hot warehouse or mail truck. While we make every effort to thermal protect all of our candles when shipping, melting can still occur if left to sit in a non-climate controlled environment. If you would like for us to ship immediately upon order fulfillment, please let us know when placing your order. Thank You! IMPORTANT!!! Candle Burning Instructions- A great Izzy & Lola candle experience begins with proper candle care and maintenance. Our candles are made with soy wax and cotton wicks that do require a little maintenance to fill your home full of wonderful scent. Don’t worry, these are basic tips that should be followed when burning any candle. Here are some important burning tips for enjoying your Izzy & Lola Soy Candles Preventing memory rings. As with all candles, the first burn is the most important. To begin, candles should burn one hour for every 1 inch in diameter of the actual candle size. Therefore, our 10 oz candles should burn a minimum of 2.5 – 3 hours to liquefy the entire top layer of wax. If the wax is not allowed to liquefy or to melt from edge to edge of the jar, it will create a “memory ring,” especially if this is the first time the candle is lit. Once a candle has this “memory ring,” it will continue to tunnel and to burn that way for the life of the candle. Keep the wick trimmed to 1/8 -1/4 inch at all times. We suggest trimming the wick every 3-4 hours of burn time. When wick trimming, you should always extinguish the flame, let the candle come to room temperature, and trim the wick to 1/8-1/4 of inch before relighting. If you don’t trim the wick, problems can occur. ANY candle can cause excessive flickering, flame, and/or smoke. Keeping your wick trim keeps this to a minimum. Quick Tips: 1. TRIM THE WICK. Keep your wick trimmed to 1/8" at all times. 2. LET THE WAX POOL. Each time you burn your candle, allow the entire top layer to become a fragrant pool of liquid wax and you'll get the biggest, boldest scent possible. 3. BURN IT SAFELY. Always burn your candle on a heat resistant surface, keep it out of drafts and NEVER leave it unattended while lit. 4. KNOW WHEN TO SAY GOODBYE. When only 1/2" of wax remains, it's time to let your candle go. Candles should not be burned for more than four hours at a time. Our candles are made with a vegetable blend wax that requires a thicker wick than most other hand poured candles. This thicker wick also melts wax more quickly creating more fuel for the flame. Due to the thicker wick, we recommended that after burning for four hours, candles be extinguished, allowed to cool for two hours, and trimmed before relighting. Follow the half inch rule. Discontinue use of a candle when ½” of wax remains at the bottom of the jar. This will prevent possible heat damage to the counter/surface or container itself. The glass can get hot on the bottom as the flame nears the base of the jar and most of the wax has been consumed. By following this instruction, the glass will not get too hot. For safety’s sake. Always burn candles well away from drafts, other heat sources, and anything flammable. Make sure burning candles are out of reach of children and pets. Never leave a burning candle unattended. How to Store Your Candle Properly The candle wax and fragrance oils we use in our candles are sensitive to both temperature and light, so please be careful when storing candles for an extended period of time. If you store your candle, be sure it is in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight or intense light. Keeping it in a dark place like a cupboard or box will protect it from fading and discoloration. Since our candles can be sensitive to extreme cold and heat, it’s best to store them between 50ºF and 85ºF. And be sure not to leave our candles in your car for an extended period of time (particularly on hot days) as they may melt or discolor. Extreme cold causes cracking and separation, so it’s best to follow our temperature guidelines. After long exposure to the cold, you should allow the candle to return to room temperature for a minimum of 2 hours before burning it to minimize potential damage.
