Keri's Wellness Wednesday: Keep the candle burning
Updated | By Keri Miller
Light those delicate, short string candles without burning your fingertips with this simple hack!

Candles are wonderful. Whether you just want to up the romance/ambiance in your house, or you have no power – candles are a staple in many homes.
It’s all wonderful when you light the candle the first time, but when you have one of those fancy candle holder things and the candle has burnt pretty far down, lighting it is an absolute nightmare and a finger burning disaster just waiting to happen.
This is one of my favourite hacks and YES IT WORKS. (even with gluten free spaghetti)
What you need:
- A lighter / matches
- A stick of raw spaghetti
