Candles, nothing better to create a romantic and warm atmosphere. Your darling will be happy. But how do you keep them on all evening? Here is my secret:the freezer .

A freezer to extend the life of my candles? Yes. I put them in the freezer 12 hours in advance , until the wax is hard and cooled.

Result?

Candles stay lit 2x longer . The effect of the cold hardens the wax, it melts less quickly. You can also put large grains of salt at the base of the wick that slow down its consumption.

For the rest, I'll let you improvise...have a nice evening!

Savings Achieved

Evenings, romantic or not, are best with candles. I always put some on the table to create a warm atmosphere. At the end of the year, that's a nice sum.

You can count 4€ for a box of 6 candles. If you consume at least 1 box per month, that's nearly €50 in 1 year. With my trick, the candles last 2 times longer, it's like paying -50% for them. Result is nearly €25 saved . In addition, you spend less on your electricity bill.
