That you can get your candles to last longer by chilling them? This is an old trick that is used by frugal people and the candle companies themselves. Chilling the candles before you use them makes the wax burn more slowly and evenly. Some say that the best way to do this is to freeze the candles for 24 hours before burning them. Others say that just storing them in the refrigerator for eight hours before you burn them is enough to do the trick. If you like to splurge and treat yourself to scented candles, it's nice to know you can get them to last a bit longer.

I didn't know that. I just bought a new candle so I'll give it a try. It's in a large glass jar, hopefully it won't crack.
I love your blog. It's very informative and helpful.
Good tip, thank you. I also enjoyed the music and the little girls dressed as fairies (they are SO sweet), and such beautiful flowers to remind me that summer WILL arrive . . .
P.S. Would you mind if I used that wonderful Irish proverb on my blog? It sums me up!
