How to Light Hard-to-Reach Candle Wicks

We all love an alluringly scented candle! From providing aromatherapy with soothing scents of jasmine or lavender, to completely changing the ambience of a room with undertones of amber or vanilla musk, their usefulness is seemingly endless. They provide a sense of comfort during the holidays, filling our homes with scents of pumpkin spice, apple, or mint as we enjoy the precious time with family.

Only issue here? The wicks of your favorite three wick candle have become hard to reach, making the candle hard to light! In this particular case, as in most instances, you do not happen to have a candle lighter. No point in wasting your investment and ridding yourself of a perfectly good, halfway used candle.

Easy method for lighting candle wicks that are nearly impossible to reach without burning yourself? Use a spaghetti stick! The lengthy stick will burn slow enough for you to light the unreachable wicks without burning your fingers.
