This is my third year completing Blind Date sessions and I get just as excited every time. I have people enter themselves or others with a few things about themselves. I look through and try to make a good pair. Once they are chosen they take photos meeting, and then a few during their first real date! Blind date session number 1 2025 with Kaitlana Petunia Viglielmo and Ben Hall. These two had such a wonderful time at Candlestock making an assortment of candle crafts! I give them so much credit for getting out of their comfort zone, and truly giving in to this experience!
Happy New Year from Candlestock!
Don't forget to burn your bayberry candles.
"For a Bayberry candle burned to the socket will bring joy to the heart and gold to the pocket."

🕯️ HOW TO BURN VOTIVES THE RIGHT WAY 🕯️
Want the best burn from your votive candles? Here’s how to do it right — whether you’re using our 10 hr or 15 hr votives:
✨ 1. Always use a snug glass or ceramic holder
Votives are designed to fully liquefy as they burn — no holder = wasted wax!
🔥 2. Burn long enough for a full wax pool
Let the melt reach the edges to prevent tunneling.
💡 Pro tip: burn for 1–2 hours at a time.
✂️ 3. Trim that wick!
Keep it around ¼ inch to avoid smoke and keep your flame clean and steady.
🚫 4. No short burns
Lighting for just 15 mins? Skip it. Short burns lead to tunnels and wasted wax.
🕰️ 5. Choose your burn time
✔️ 10-hour votives = perfect for short evenings
✔️ 15-hour votives = great for longer nights or rituals

🐝✨ Did you know that choosing beeswax candles helps support our hardworking pollinator friends? At Candlestock, we use 100% pure, US sourced beeswax. We choose to work with responsible beekeepers who care deeply about bee health and sustainability.
🌼 Why it matters: Healthy bees = healthy plants, flowers, and food for all of us. Supporting beeswax means supporting the bees that make it all possible!
⚠️ What to watch for: Not all beeswax is pure or sustainably harvested. Some candles mix in synthetic wax or come from careless practices that harm bees.
💛 How we do it: Our beeswax is always pure, natural, and sourced with care — so you get clean-burning, toxin-free candles AND help protect pollinators.
Let’s keep the buzz going — for a greener, brighter world! 🌍🕯️
