Alas, fuck me if I can find the kind of candles I want.
I have always used the tall jar candles with pictures of saints on them, but I find that the jar makes shit weird and once you get like half way down, it's hard to keep the wick lit.
I really want to get fat old votive candles outside of the jar, but I'm having a hell of a time finding any. I went to five stores (including two Wal-marts) today and all I could find were stubby votives at the Wal-marts, and the color selection was either white, lime green or red.
I suppose I could just light the jar candles two hours early and let that shit melt down properly, thus ending the vicious cycle of wax on the jar, but does anyone know of a place to buy jar-less candles?
(Alternatively, is there an easy way to de-jar a candle?)
