Remembering to Blow Out Candles

By Shirley Savidge (Guest Post)

A tip I read some time ago is to take a knife and bend the wick over into the melted wax - no smoking from candles

This also works if you need to remember the candle before bed but put your toothbrush (or any other item you would use before going to bed) next to the candle.

What a great idea! My husband is always lighting candles and then running out to do an errand. We have 2 cats and a dog who love to play and could easily knock the candle over. Their safety is my greatest concern, "things" can be replaced, our pets are precious members of the family. Your idea will give me a great deal of peace of mind. Thank you a thousand times over.

Absolutely brilliant! I was working with a gal who made a spur of the moment trip to Walmart at holiday time. She left in a hurry and forgot to extinguish a candle. Her cat knocked it over and the ensuing fire destroyed her living room and newly decorated Mary Engelbreit kitchen. This happened in just a few minutes time. Thanks for sharing. Be sure to tell everyone you see.
