Whenever you’re using candles:

🔥 Never leave them unattended
🔥 Keep them away from anything that can burn
🔥 Place them on stable, non-flammable surfaces
🔥 Consider flameless (LED) candles for a safer option

A little safety goes a long way toward keeping your Valentine’s Day memorable for the right reasons.
