My New Cheap Trick: Wax Warmers

By Tara

I haven't been on Pinterest recently, because real life keeps getting in the way of my Internet time, but one of the Pinterest tricks that has stuck with me over the last few months involves freezing those three-wick Bath and Body Works candles to remove the last layer of wax that always remains when the wicks burn out, in order to reuse the glass containers. And, I love that trick, because I've spent a ridiculous amount of money over the years on various glass containers, while throwing out perfectly good options that I already owned.

Then, because (right or wrong) Pinterest seems to thrive on never throwing ANYTHING out, I started to wonder why I wasn't doing something with the leftover wax that I was freezing out of the candle container while I was at it. So, I bought this wax warmer from Amazon:

And I now use it melt what's left of the wax after I'm done with my candles. And I think that officially completes my transition to a Pinterest-aided hoarder, yes?
