Votives are a great idea if you are searching for a candle that's not too large to burn for long periods of time. For their size, they punch high above their weight. Price is per votive.

Beeswax candles burn much longer and brighter than regular toxic paraffin candles. They are hypoallergenic and non-toxic. Beeswax wins in every category. My wax is always pure and sourced from the Canadian countryside. Make sure to trim wicks to 1/4 inch prior to lighting or face a large flame which can create smoke. Despite using environmentally friendly smokeless cotton wicks, a draft or wick too long in length can cause smoke. Never leave a candle unattended.
