While I'm the first to admit we don't need candles (we can thank electricity for that), their aesthetic and delicious scents keep us coming back. Candles are, arguably, frivolous endeavours—they're wants not needs. However, when it comes to luxury candles, it's easy to feel like you're burning your money away.

But, to help soften the blow and help you get the most out of your expensive candles (although there are some great affordable candles out there, too), allow me to shine a light (pun intended) on all the candle-preserving hacks you need to know. Every time your candle tunnels or kicks up plumes of black smoke, you're wasting quality burning time—but there are some easy ways to prevent this. It is, according to experts, down to how you care for your candles.
