Care + Use
take care of your nice things ✨
A little care goes a long way. Find your Homebody goodie below for everything you need to know about using it, loving it + keeping it around as long as possible!
Let it melt. On the first burn, let the wax melt all the way to the edges to help prevent tunneling.
Trim your wick. Keep it around ¼” before every burn for a cleaner, happier flame.
Keep it under 4 hours. Long burns can lead to oversized flames, soot + an overheated jar.
Know when to say goodbye. Stop burning when about ½” of wax remains at the bottom.
Give it a full melt pool. Let the wax melt to the edges, especially on that first burn.
Trim before you light. Keep your wick around ¼” for the best burn.
Keep burns under 4 hours. Your candle needs a break, too.
Careful — she gets hot. Always burn on a heat-safe surface + let the tin cool before handling.s a little love to burn its best.
Pop in your reeds. Give them a little time to soak up the fragrance + get to work.
Control the strength. More reeds = more fragrance. Fewer reeds = a little more subtle.
Flip for a boost. Occasionally flip your reeds when you want to freshen things up.
Protect your surfaces. Diffuser oil can damage some finishes, so wipe up spills right away.
Break off a few pieces. Add them to a warmer made specifically for wax melts.
Start small. You can always add another piece if you want a stronger fragrance.
Never add water. Just wax in the warmer, please + thank you.
Swap when the scent fades. Let the wax cool completely before removing + replacing it.
Remove the stopper. Unscrew the wooden cap, carefully remove the plastic stopper + screw the cap back on tightly.
Tip it to get started. Gently turn the bottle upside down for a few seconds so the fragrance can soak into the wooden cap.
Hang + enjoy. Loop the cord around your rearview mirror, closet rod or anywhere that could use a little extra nice-smelling goodness.
Refresh as needed. When the scent gets faint, gently tip the bottle again to re-saturate the cap — just don’t leave it upside down or let the oil spill onto surfaces.
Give it a shake. A quick shake before spraying keeps everything nice + mixed.
A few spritzes will do. Spray into the air whenever your space needs a refresh.
Cloudiness is normal. Fragrance oils can make your spray look cloudy, milky or slightly tinted.
Mind your surfaces. Avoid spraying directly onto delicate fabrics, floors + finished surfaces.
Hit your pulse points. Wrists, neck + behind the ears are all good places to start.
Perfume oil goes a long way. Roll on a little first + add more if you want it.
Let eau de perfume dry naturally. Spritz it on + resist the urge to rub your wrists together.
Keep it out of the sun. Store perfume somewhere cool + dry to keep it happy longer.
Start with a little. Massage a small amount into your skin + add more as needed.
Try it after a shower. Slightly damp skin helps lock in all that good moisture.
Give it a minute. Let the oil soak in before getting dressed.
Keep it cool. Store away from excessive heat + direct sunlight.
Warm it up. Rub between your hands or glide the bar directly over your skin.
Massage it in. Your body heat melts those oils + butters right into your skin.
Keep it somewhere cool. Body Bars are supposed to melt, which means hot rooms + cars are not their friends.
Melted? No biggie. Pop it in the fridge until it firms back up — it’ll still work just fine.
Start clean + dry. Apply directly to clean, dry underarms.
You don’t need much. A thin, even layer is plenty.
Give it a second. Let it settle in before getting dressed.
Keep it cool. Excessive heat can soften the formula, so don’t leave it baking in your car.
Get it nice + sudsy. Lather with your hands, washcloth or favorite scrubby thing.
Rinse well. You know. Soap stuff. 😂
Let it breathe. Keep your bar on a draining soap dish so it can dry completely between uses.
Color changes are normal. Natural clays + botanicals may fade over time, especially in sunlight.
Swipe whenever needed. Dry lips don’t require an appointment.
A little goes a long way. One or two passes should do the trick.
Keep the cap on. Especially when it’s bouncing around in a purse or pocket.
Don’t cook it. Oils + butters soften in heat, so avoid hot cars + direct sunlight.
