Making your own custom candle is an experience like no other. The creativity that you have is endless when you’re making something custom, especially when it comes to your own custom fragrance. While the magic is happening and you’re waiting for your candle to set, there are plenty of fun activities you can do to pass the time.
Go Out for Happy Hour with Friends and Family
Who doesn’t love spending quality time with friends or family at a local bar? This is the perfect activity to do while you’re waiting for your candle to set. Grab a nice glass of wine or hand-crafted cocktail and a bite to eat, and the time will fly by!
Check Out Local Events
Check your cities events and see if there is anything spontaneous or creatively fulfilling that you could go to while you’re waiting for your candle to set. This is great because you’re passing the time by doing something that is supporting your community, and it’s even better if you can find an art walk or something creative to do while you wait!
Go on a Hunt for a Sweet Treat
If you’re feeling more in the mood for something sweet rather than a happy hour beverage or a local event, finding a nearby milkshake place, ice cream shop, or bakery is a great way to pass the time while waiting for your candle to set. You could split something with a significant other, treat a friend or family member, or treat yourself! Most people won’t turn down a sweet treat, and it’s a great way to try something new if you’re unfamiliar with the area you’re in!
Go on a Coffee Run
Coffee is always a great idea, especially if you’re with someone who shares the same coffee passion as you. Going on a coffee run with your significant other, friend, or family member is a great way to pass the time, and is a great idea for any occasion! Get your coffee and a pastry, and sit and enjoy the atmosphere. If the weather is nice and there’s outside seating, that is the perfect way to get some much-needed vitamin D and spend quality time with your person!
If you’ve done one of these activities, or a few, your candle has probably already set and the time flew by! Because you were spending quality time with yourself or with someone special. Next time you go to a pour your own candle event, make sure to explore a bit while your candle is setting, you never know what new place you may discover!
