First of All, I’m a Delight
The Snarky Collection
There is a moment at every gathering when your social battery hits zero. You’ve been charming. You’ve laughed at the jokes, refilled the drinks, and asked about everyone’s kids (or fur babies), jobs, and kitchen remodels. You were, frankly, a delight. But now the clock is ticking, your pajamas are calling, and someone is settling in on your couch like they plan to stay until spring.
First of All, I’m a Delight was made for that feeling.
It opens with sweet, tart raspberry and a splash of citrus, lively and bright, like the big smile you’ve been wearing all evening. Creamy vanilla softens the heart, warm and comforting, sweet enough that nobody suspects a thing. It’s charming without being a pushover and sweet without being a doormat, a scent that sets boundaries with a little flair.
Underneath it all, musk settles in smooth and sophisticated. Subtle, polished, and firm. The kind of base that says you’re a wonderful host, just not right now, and definitely not for much longer.
This is the candle you light when you’re done being delightful and ready for some peace and quiet. When you want your space to stay stylish and sweet while making it very clear that the party is over. Hugs at the door. Coats are on the bed.

Candle Care & Safety Tips
Our coconut apricot wax is soft, creamy, and burns clean and slow. A little care helps every candle give you its best scent and longest life.
The first burn matters most
Let your candle burn until the melted wax reaches the edges of the jar, about 1 hour for every inch across. This sets the “memory” of the wax and prevents tunneling.
Trim before every light
Trim the wick to about ¼ inch before each burn. A shorter wick means a steady flame, less soot, and a cleaner jar.
Keep burns to 4 hours or less
Longer burns can cause the wick to mushroom and the jar to overheat. Let the candle cool completely before relighting.
Avoid drafts
Fans, open windows, and vents can cause uneven burning and flickering. A calm spot gives you the most even melt.
Know when to say goodbye
Stop burning when about ½ inch of wax remains at the bottom. Once cool and clean, the jar is ready to reuse.
Safety first
- Never leave a burning candle unattended.
- Keep away from children, pets, curtains, and anything flammable.
- Always burn on a stable, heat-safe surface.
- The jar can get hot. Do not touch or move it while lit or while the wax is melted.
- If the flame gets too high or starts smoking, extinguish it, let it cool, and trim the wick.
- Never use water to put out a candle. Use a snuffer or gently cover it.
Thank you for bringing a little Chandlers Pride glow into your space.

Shipping and Returns
Every order is hand-poured and packed by us in small batches, so please allow 3 to 5 business days for processing. Orders ship via USPS unless you request another carrier at checkout.
During hot weather, we ship only on Mondays and Tuesdays. That way your candles spend less time sitting in a warm truck or warehouse over the weekend and arrive looking just as they did when they left our studio.
You’ll get a tracking number by email as soon as your order ships.
Local to St. Louis?
Choose local pickup at checkout or find us at a variety of farmers markets and craft shows around the region. Follow us on Instagram for market dates.
Arrived damaged?
We pack every order with care, but if something arrives broken, email us at chandlerspride@gmail.com within 7 days with a photo, and we’ll make it right with a replacement or refund.
