If you show your candle some love, it will love you back.

A few tips and tricks to keep your candle looking and smelling like a million bucks, but, more importantly, how to not burn your house down or end up in the emergency room.

• Trim your wick after every burn. It makes a difference, trust us.

• Burn your candle on a heat-safe surface. All kinds of things could go wrong.

• Don't burn your candle near a fan or draft. They're not friends so don't force it.

• Keep flammable objects away from your lit candle because accidental pyrotechnics can really ruin your day.

• Don't touch the wick or wax while the candle is lit. It will burn you because science says so.

• Don't leave your candle unattended. It's needy and likes having you near.

• Your candle is not a toy so keep it out of reach of children and fur babies.
