Tortoise candle

Day 1 of burning this Tortoise candle that I recently thrifted from Goodwill. I can already tell that this one is going to take a while, considering that in 8 hours of burning it barely looks like it’s made any progress. #Thrifted #Tortoise #Candle #Timelapse #UnscentedCandle

6/5 Edited to

... Read moreThrifting unique candles like this tortoise-shaped one offers a wonderful way to add character and ambiance to your home without breaking the bank. When you find a candle with such a distinct shape, like this tortoise, it’s not just about lighting it—it’s about appreciating the aesthetic and craftsmanship. From personal experience, unscented candles usually burn slower than scented ones, which aligns with the observation that after 8 hours, there is minimal melting. This slow burn rate is ideal if you want a candle to last through multiple evenings or special occasions. Moreover, tortoise-shaped candles make excellent conversation starters. They bring a touch of nature indoors and can complement a variety of décor styles—from rustic and vintage to eclectic and bohemian. If you’re planning to use such a candle in your space, ensure it is placed on a heat-resistant surface, given that the candle might retain heat for longer periods due to its shape and density. Additionally, creating a timelapse video, as mentioned, is a clever way to visually document the candle's slow progress and appreciate the intricate details that might otherwise go unnoticed during regular use. This can be particularly rewarding for candle enthusiasts or anyone interested in documenting their thrifting finds. In summary, the slow-burning tortoise candle is not only practical for extended use but also adds unique charm and warmth to your setting. Whether you are a collector, a thrifting enthusiast, or simply looking for an unscented candle to enjoy a calm and cozy atmosphere, this candle could be a delightful find.

Kaba, a Testudo tortoise, is pictured in his enclosure, partially emerged from what appears to be a log or burrow. His head and front leg are visible, resting on brown substrate. A green dish is seen on the left, and the background is light.

#Petlover #lemon8challenge Kaba came out of his log so I snapped a picture of him! He is a Testudo tortoise which is a smaller breed. This is as big as he will get! He is not picky about what he eats but how much. If I do not put a big pile of his favorite dandelion leaves in there, he will

How did I do? I'm no nail tech, but when I realized I had the right polishes, I had to give this design a shot. I added a little gold leaf for a subtle marble effect, and honestly, I love how it turned out! I'm self-taught, so it's not perfect, but I’m always down for feedback—just keep
