    Autumn will always feel like the new year. It never goes away. New Years feels like an unwanted birthday but September is a time of hope.

    Quick PSA about writing:
    The thing about loving books is that it often goes hand in hand with wanting to try out writing yourself sometimes. The tricky part about this is that because most book lovers have accumulated such a high standard from their consumption, they often haven't put what they've learnt into practise. This leaves you with the awkward situation of being knowledgeable enough to be aware that what you're writing is bad but not being knowledgeable enough to know how to fix it. I've gone through this (still am tbh) and im sure others have too. What you need to remember is that writing is a skill that is honed and crafted over time, not some talent you're born with, much like other art forms. The only way to get better is to try it. And after you've tried it, practise it. It's hard, but that's what makes it worth it.

    I'm 37 and I still look at fall as being a season of renewal! I think the crisp air just energizes me and it's the sign of the fun of summer being over and getting back to longer days indoors, etc. This is when I usually try new things, new skills, settle into better routines.

    Tip for the candle problem: refill them yourself! ✨ I will usually keep the glasses and collect leftover wax from other candles as well, buy some wicks and do my own candles. Also you can use your scent yourself! It's really really easy believe me :)

    • @pettyella6607
      @pettyella6607 Год назад +7

      just take care, bc if you reheat the glass too much it will crack and make a whole mess (besides being dangerous ofc)

    • @ninaklt2682
      @ninaklt2682 Год назад +3

      @@pettyella6607 Yes you're right ... that's why I am usually just trying to scrape the excess wax out of the glasses and then clean them before refilling them

    • @emr2220
      @emr2220 Год назад

      you can also pour a little bit of hot water into the candle jar to melt the leftover wax out! makes it a lot easier to clean @@ninaklt2682
      and totally seconding refilling them yourself! you can also buy little scentless wax melts that are specifically for candle making (or even just the melts that are for a candle warmer) and add your own scent with essential oils, etc.

    I get fall as a beginning because of the harvest season 🌾🍂 I know a lot of cultures see that as a beginning since harvesting means that the land is bare and ready to start fresh again 😄
    (also a helpful tip with strong scented candles is to bring coffee beans and smell them after each candle - it helps neutralize the smell and keeps your nose from hurting)

    Used candle jar tip! I usually clean them out and use them for storing things like pencils/bookmarks/art supplies, vases, and put small plants in them (keeping the pant in a the plastic pot and just setting it in the pretty jar). To get the wax out, I boil water in my tea kettle and fill the jar up to the brim with boiling water. It melts the left over wax and solidifies on top of the water as it cools (sometimes need to do this twice). Then if you have a wax warmer, you can use the left over wax for that!

    I put boiling water in the candle and let the wax float to the top, then clean the glass and recycle it. You can also freeze them and use a knife to pop the wax out.

  • @cynderblock11
    @cynderblock11 Год назад +1

    You can use boiling water to get the bottom of the wax out of your candles and you can clean out the glass jars and keep them. You can use the wax that’s left in the very bottom and wax warmers if you have that at all.

    I like to use empty candle containers to store things because with fabric and elastic you can make some what of a lid. They also make for perfect wrapping for weirdly shapped gifts and then the get a pretty vase to use afterwards. Just make sure to clean them extra well.

  • @nbunnysnowboard

    A company called Arbor Made makes refillable candles! I have one, and they send the wax separate from the jar, and once the candle has finished the jar allows you to pop out the old wax and put in the new. It's really neat!

    And here in Italy autumn is like a shiny pokémon: there's summer, then abrupt winter, no in-between anymore. Halfway through september and we still hit almost 30°C where I live + lots of humidity all year long.
    Watching vlogs of places where autumn exists and is coming in strong makes me feel at ease, the gray skies really give me hope for a good, cold winter this year, where I may be able to put on my warmest and fanciest clothes and drink a cup of warm tea/chocolate in a cozy blanket :)

    For the soot problem with the candle, trim the wick down each time before you light it, even at the start of a new one. And if you notice it being sooty again while burning, blow it out and trim it again. Also, I melt the wax out at the end and then recycle the glass jar, messy work, but it makes me feel better knowing it's not all going straight in the landfill.

  • @karolina8465

    When I'm done with a candle and I want to keep the jar, I just pour boiling water into it to melt the wax away and then run it through the dishwasher. I like to use them to store q-tips and cotton balls and other odds and ends, or as a propagation vessel for plants :)

    Tip for empty candle containers. If I like the shape of the container I will wash it out/sanitize it and use it to store other things. I keep cutting swabs/balls in them in the bathroom. In a sucker for a glass container/jar/bottle and I always try to repurpose them if I can.

    Tip for the candles - you can go to a craft store to buy new wax and wicks for your diy candles. They also sell candle scents separately. If you have used your candle up, you can pour hot water right into the jar, the wax will melt and rise to the top of the surface, it is easy to remove it that way.

    When I finish a candle, I pour boiling water in it, wait for the it to cool and the wax will float to the top and be easier to remove, then I either recycle or reuse the jar if its an especially good jar. I just throw away the spare wax, but I want to get a wax warmer to repurpose the wax since it still smells great and I feel bad wasting any!

  • @2871lola
    @2871lola Год назад

    If you pour boiling or near boiling water into a scented candle container and then let it cool, the wax should float to the top and form a disk. You can then put this in a wax warmer or just throw it out. The candle container should clean up with soap and water and then you can reuse it or recycle it with your other glass recycling.

  • @MsGloomyLamp
    @MsGloomyLamp Год назад

    Same as you use old porcelain mugs as pots, you can use candles holders as pots! Just make sure to put your soil into a plastic pot with holes first (can't remember the name for them in English). Also, use them as a jar for anything you like, I use them as sort of organizers in the drawers for things like scrunchies, earphones, coins, random bits and bobs. (to wash the leftover wax you can freeze the candle for some time, then scrape the wax out)

  • @sophieismyname

    if you want to take the time to get all of the leftover wax out, wash the soot off and take off the label you could reuse your candle glasses as just regular glasses to drink out of. i especially think the blue colour would look awesome and then after a while you’d have a cupboard filled with different coloured/shaped/sized drinking glasses 😊

    For the scented candles, i usually would empty the container from the wax then using it as pen holder or something!
    You can remove the wax by adding hot water to it and then it would rise to the top :D
    It always feels like a nice memory to look at these empty containers and remember the times i watched that candle burn in

    @roguetaco5487 Год назад

    I reuse my empty candles jars around my house as containers. First you put the candle jar in the freezer only for a few hours, take it out and gentle pry out the remaining wax with a spoon. Leave the jar on the counter until it warms back up to room temperature (you don't want to put cold glass into warm water). The next step I do is fill a bowl or the sink (if I'm doing a bunch), with warm soapy water. Let your jars soak for a few hours. This should do two things. First, help scrub off any remaining wax residue and second, peel off the jar paper label.
    Now, you should have a clean pretty jar (hopefully you kept the lid). I use mine in the bathroom for cotton swabs/balls/etc or in the kitchen to store wood picks, kitchen tools. Oh and if they are clear jars you can use them as little terrariums! So many uses really. The hardest part is just cleaning them out.
