Salvaging the end of the candle

Don't you hate it when your favorite candle burns to the end leaving precious remnants of fragrance behind?  No?  Then stop right here and go buy yourself another candle!  Yes?  Then this post is for you!  To be fair, I used to throw out candles all the time until I thought about using my warmer!  Why hadn't that ever dawned on me?! That is why I am writing this post to share with YOU now!

I am at the end of my favorite candle and have a quarter inch left of wax! 

 This is so frustrating. Enter my wax warmer. 

Simply scoop out some of the wax from the candle container

And put it in the wax warmer. I use two to three tablespoons. 

Still have enough left to last a few more times!!

Plug in the warmer (never leave the warmer on unattended) and enjoy your fragrance for many more hours!!


On a side note, I think I need to find a prettier warmer :) Any suggestions?  

What do you do when you are left with extra wax in your candle?





Leave me a comment or question!  I love to hear from my readers!  Follow my blog and I'll follow you right back! 

xo,
Emily

    Such a great idea, Emily! I've used a mug warmer before with a candle in a glass jar that's on it's last leg. I love this trick because by favorite candles are always pricey, and this would give me the most bang for my buck!

    Just came to meet you at Jennifer's suggestion. :)

    I do the same thing with candles. As for the warmer, I kind of hide it behind something.

    I got my warmer at Wal-Mart and it's pretty enough to leave out all the time! Here's the link: http://www.walmart.com/ip/Better-Homes-and-Gardens-Warmer-Antique-Finish/19887688
