Has anyone notived the tiny air bubble hole in the top of the votives? I had a team member get a whole dozen like that- of course our wonderful customer service is replacing them right away, but I just went and looked and I saw some tiny holes on the very top of some of mine too. I never noticed it before.

Debra,
I think they have always had those. I've been with Mia Bella for 2 years and as far back as I can remember most of them have those. Doesn't effect the scent at all, lol...........

Speaking of votives, because of the ingredients used to make them, are we supposed to burn them in tight fitting holders so they don't melt all over the place?

yes, you can get them cheap at Walmart or Michaels for less than 50 cents.

One of the reasons the company recommends burning votives
in snug-fitting, straight-sided votive holders is because of the
properties of the proprietary blend of wax. It burns cooler, and
it completely liquifies. If it has a large surface area to spread
out into (like a round or large votive holder) the liquified wax
will spread and the candle will burn down more quickly.
For the same reason, the recommended burn time is 3 hours,
then extinguish and allow wax to cool completely before
relighting.
SO...What's everyone burning tonight? My Scent-track for the
evening is de Lime in de Coconut (Coconuts & Lime), but I may
have to kick it up a notch or two a little later and go with SO&
CP. Mmmm... Zesty! LOL!smileys/smiley2.gif
