Hi everyone! I ventured to the other side of Seoul today to visit some cafes that have been on my list for a while, along with some home interior shops for candles and kitchenware :) I hope you're all doing well and I wish we could find a happy medium with this weather - here I am sweating in 30 degree weather while half of you are sending my pictures of snow in April :') Come on world! Sending love always!

Candle hack🚨If your candle is too small for your holder, boil some water and put the bottom of your candle in the water until the wax gets soft. Then take your candle holder and put the candle in it and hold it for about 20 seconds until the wax cools it’ll mold to the shape of your holder. 😊Hope this helps!😁😁

@shunle2728 3 жыл бұрын

maybe just heat the bottom of the candle with the lighter for a lil while n stick it on the surface when the wax melts hehehehe

@minka2829 3 жыл бұрын

another tip! ^___^ wrap some aluminum foil around the candle to make it thicker at the bottom! Make sure you wrap it tight so it won't come open :D

Just a tip: Light the candle first, then lit it glow for a while. When it's hot enough that it starts melting, tilt it and let the fresh wax fall on the stand. Then quickly put the candle over the freshly melted wax before it dries. When it finally dries it will hold the candle straight along with it.

Ok so here’s a trick, if you ever buy another candle that’s too small for your holder burn your new candle turn it upside down let the wax melt on your holder and then when you have enough put your candle in and that’s your new candle glued at the bottom haha. Idk if you understand me but yeah I tried 😂

@TeeryvelizCurbelo 3 жыл бұрын

Oh and make sure you hold on to the candle until the wax at the bottom dries a little. That way it won’t fall.

@alisonfraser3305 3 жыл бұрын

Yes, good suggestion. We should always do this, even when they fit the holder. It doesn’t take much wax, either! Remember how they used to seal letters with wax? Well, none of us remember, I guess. Just a few drops will do. If the candle is too thick, just shave some off with a knife and do the same process.

I grew up seeing my mom and grandma doing this, it becomes a habit for me to do this before lighting any candle I have. Our family doesn't have a candle holder at home, we use unused plates, so we need to do that in order to prevent the candle from falling. Good suggestion.

Of course I didn’t dislike my country, but at the same time, I didn’t think that it’s so pretty like you show in your video. You got so many cute little spots that I can’t wait to go and visit.

hi cari👋🏻 as an oatmeal monster tbh I think overnight oats are not a good choice for someone who doesn't like the taste of oats. I am gonna give you my very delicious(I mean for me its is) secret recipe. I put three tbsps oats into a little pan add milk and water until I can't see the oats(I hope it makes sense) and then I add cinnamon, sun dried apricot, raisins and sun dried fig before adding I chop them small and then i cook it until I like the consistency. I don't add anything else but it tastes sweet from all the fruit sugar. but I can't give any tips or a recipe for overnight oats because I don't really like them that much as well 😅

Hey cari , this is a popular candle hack to make a candle hold on to any kind of surface - light the candle and let the first few drops of melted wax fall on to the surface where you want to candle to stand and stick the candle onto the fallen melted wax. So by this the melted wax will act as a glue that sticks the candle to your surface of choice.

@smuttyskein 3 жыл бұрын

You can light the candle, tilt the candle into the holder, wait for a good amount of wax to melt and drip into the holder to provide a sticky base, stick the candle in there. Voila, glue.

Dear Cari, a better way to make the candle to stand is to soften the bottom with fire, this way it will become soft-sticky but not fluid-like yet, then you press it and hold it for about 10-15 seconds in the candle-holder till it hardens.

@RaymondwLin 3 жыл бұрын

I’m posting as I’m watching. About the candle problem. You only need to melt some wax inside the holder (like in the microwave) and then stick the candle inside it. When it’s cooled it will set and bond them together.

For your candle, I just wrap the bottom of the candle in a bit of tinfoil and then it helps it fit and if you just put it at the bottom it won't show. It also makes it easier to clean out and remove when it's done.
