Try Jesus, Not Me
The Snarky Collection

There is a kind of day when your patience has officially left the building. The emails keep coming, someone keeps “just checking in,” and a coworker has asked the same question for the third time this hour. You’ve smiled. You’ve nodded. You’ve been gracious. But now you’re out of grace, out of patience, and fresh out of fake laughs. When it comes to miracles, they’ll have to look somewhere else, because you are not taking requests today.

Try Jesus, Not Me was made for that feeling.

It opens with bright orange petal, sunny and sweet, like the polite smile you’re barely holding onto. It’s fresh, floral, and cheerful on the surface, the kind of scent that makes everyone think you’re doing just fine. It’s sweet without being a pushover and bright without being available, a scent that keeps things friendly while drawing a very clear line.

Underneath it all, soft marshmallow settles in fluffy and comforting. Sweet, cozy, and soothing. The kind of base that feels like a deep breath, a quiet room, and finally being left alone.

This is the candle you light when you’ve hit your limit and need a little peace. Give it to the friend who’s always on their last nerve, or keep it for yourself on the days when you just can’t. Bless their hearts. Now please leave.

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.

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.
