Long Story Short 4oz Tin Soy Candle - Bourbon + Mandarin + Vanilla
'Long Story Short' was inspired by the art of storytelling, whether writing about an event or a tall tale. The sweet richness of warm vanilla is paired with citrus mandarin and rounded out with spicy bourbon.
Our literary candles are perfect for any book and candle lover. The candles were inspired by my love of libraries, books and bookstores, and the stories that take us on each adventure. A candle is the perfect thing to snuggle up and get lost into the pages of a book with.
Our hand poured candles have a special soy wax blend and all natural essential oils, which ensures that the scent will last the entire burn. By using soy wax we are giving you a better candle and using a sustainable and renewable resource that is made in the USA. With our custom-sized, lead-free cotton wicks, your candle will burn evenly, allowing for a longer use time and no harsh chemicals or additives.
Our 4oz luxury soy candles have an approximate burn time of 25 hours. Each comes with a metal lid, which is great to keep dust out when not in use and prolong the scent.

Candle Care & Product Tips
Candle Safety Tips
Burning a candle is easy. Luckily, so is following proper candle care and safety guidelines. Extend the life of your favorite candles, prevent unsightly soot and tunneling, and burn candles like a pro by following these simple tips:
Always trim the wick and check for debris.
Before you light a candle, always trim the wick to ¼ inch and remove any debris left in the wax pool such as wick trimmings or matches. Any debris will add more fuel to the candle than it’s designed to handle. Too much fuel can cause the flame to unexpectedly flare up or even start a small fire near the candle flame. Wicks that are left long or crooked can cause uneven burning, dripping, flaring and sooting. Trimming wicks will help prolong the life of your candle. Your candles will burn up to 25% longer if you trim the wick every couple of hours.
Get it right the first time.
Just like the first cut is the deepest, that first burn is the most important. Candles should burn one hour for every 1 inch in diameter of the actual candle size. For example, a candle that is 2 inches across should burn for 2 hours. If a candle is not burned for long enough to allow the wax to liquefy or to melt from edge to edge of the container, it will create a “memory ring.” Once a candle has a “memory ring,” it will continue to tunnel for the life of the candle.
Don’t keep candles burning for longer than indicated on the manufacturer’s instructions.
Burning a candle for too long will cause carbon to collect on the wick, leading it to “mushroom.” The wick will then become unstable and produce a dangerously large flame. Plus, your candle will start to smoke and release soot. Avoid this by always following the manufacturer’s instructions. In general, it is recommended that candles do not burn for longer than four hours and cool for at least two hours before relighting.
Don’t burn a candle all the way down.
For a margin of safety, discontinue burning a candle when 1/2 inch remains in the container or 2 inches if using a pillar candle. When there is little wax left, the heat can transfer to the vessel, making it very hot AND dangerous!
Keep the flame away from moving air.
When burning a candle, avoid proximity to fans, air conditioners, open windows, or crowded areas with people walking back and forth. Moving air can disturb the flame, resulting in those pesky black marks on the glass.
Store your candles properly.
Store candles in a cool, dark and dry place with the lid on to keep them clean of dust and debris, and to help protect the wax and fragrance. Highly fragrant candles have a life span of 6 to 12 months, depending on the scent. If you enjoy fragranced candles, then use and replace them often to avoid deterioration in appearance and performance.
