How to Re-Use Candle Jars
I hate to throw out the glass jars that candles come in and even worse is when they have beautiful designs on the outside. When I stumbled across this one on Pinterest, I had to give it a try!
I am happy to say, it worked like a charm! Now I do not waste the jars and instead either re-use them for other things or make new candles with them. It’s a great money saver and if you find the right candles, they could make a great gift!
- First take your “burnt out” candle and place it in the freezer for an hour or so. If you for get about it…no worries!
- Next using a butter knife, break apart the frozen candle and remove the bits from the bottom. Get as much as you can out.
- Pull off the label. Now depending on the type, you might have to use a little bit of goo be gone to get off the labels. Once removed, you are ready to go onto the next step.
- Next with soap and warm water, clean off the soot and anything else from the jars. Use a paper towel so you don’t ruin your sponges.
- Next use vinegar or olive oil to remove the wax residue. It works like a charm! Apply it with a paper towel.
- Now rinse again with a little soapy water and you are set!
You can use the jars for new candles, as storage containers or even as cool drinking glasses!

Benefits of Living a Frugal Lifestyle
The word “Frugal” seems to be resurfacing more and more in today’s society. Years ago the word “frugal” meant to go without, but in today’s society it means to live a more simple life, be less wasteful with your time and money.
Families today are experiencing more strains on their bank accounts because of unemployment rates. Maybe your family is trying to use less technology and to become more environmentally friendly. Ultimately, we are all make more conscious decisions when it comes to spending our hard earned money and what we are buying in return.
Here we have put together a few simple tips on how you too can start living a more frugal lifestyle and reap the benefits of it.
You do not have to go without
When you first start to tell people that you are trying to live a more frugal lifestyle, they might snicker and laugh at you. Many will think that you should spend your money the way you want to without putting much thought into what you are purchasing.
Some people also think that because you decide to make more conscious decisions that you will be going without the things you love to enjoy in life. When in fact, it is the exact opposite, you begin to “trim the fat” and think before you buy. When you do decide to put your money somewhere, it is rewarding and you enjoy it that much more.
Declutter your home
Have you ever taken note to the pictures in magazines and on tv, do you see any clutter in the homes or rooms that they are featuring? No, because they want to create an image that everyone wants to dream of.
Clutter equals stress. Life is stressful enough you don’t need to add to it. So take the time and get organized. Keep your closests organized. If you have a desk space, organize it. Get in the kitchen and clean out that pantry that is screaming at you everytime you open it.
Once you begin to de-clutter your home and your life you will be able to think so much more clearly. Just do it!
What about those special occasions?
Life goes on even though you are leading a frugal lifestyle. Birthdays, anniversaries, holidays all will continue to happen. So how do you stay frugal when you have to buy gifts year round? It all comes down to planning.
Sit down and take the time to plan out the year. Write down each month and what special occasions happen during each month that are going to require you to buy a gift or card. This will give you more of an idea of what special occasion is coming up and what you need to be keeping an eye out for when the sales are going on.
Do not wait until the last minute to buy your niece her birthday present. You have made a calendar for the whole year, so plan ahead. When the big sales are happening (they happen more than you know) get out there and buy. This will cut down your costs, save you money, and allow for you to purchase the gifts that you want to.
Again, because you live a frugal lifestyle does not mean you have to go without. These are just a few ideas on how to begin your frugal lifestyle journey. Keep it simple and you will be rewarded in your efforts.
