I’ve been making candles for fun & gifts for a few months. I tried using coconut wax for the first time and the candles turned out great. I learned that coconut wax burns longer than bees wax due to a lower melting point. It doesn’t produce soot and can hold a scent better other waxes. #candlemaking
A pot of coconut wax pellets melting on a gas stove. Several candle holders full of melted coconut wax in various stages of solidification sit on a wooden board. A small candle is lit in a dark room.

It is -30 today but it’s only going to get warmer now. Soon we’ll be able to open the window and hear the birds.

What is public and what is private on Bluesky? Bluesky is a public social network. Posts and likes are public. Blocks are public. Mutes are private, but mutelists are public lists.
