There is just something wonderful about the humble candle. It radiates light yes, but it can also create such a lovely atmosphere – be it romance at a dinner table for two, relaxation in a bubble bath at the end of a long day, cosiness around the fire whilst you listen to the night sounds and beauty on a gloriously decorated table before a festive occasion is about to start. But these days, candles have become a fairly luxury item as they are not as inexpensive as they used to be.

So how can you make your candles last longer? Here’s how.

Hope you try this and burn the flame a little longer!
