what can I use my August & Belle mug for after I have burnt the candle?

at August & Belle, we specialise in creating unique candles poured into beautiful, reusable mugs. once your candle has finished burning, the mug can be cleaned and repurposed for various uses, such as:
    •    a drinking mug
    •    a holder for stationery, makeup brushes, or plants
    •    a decorative piece for your home

as a candle-making business, we recommend using your discretion in deciding how to repurpose your mug. while many customers choose to use their mugs for drinking, ensure the mug is thoroughly cleaned and inspected for damage before doing so. for safety, follow these tips:
    1.    remove any leftover wax completely.
    2.    wash the mug with hot, soapy water to eliminate residue.
    3.    inspect for cracks or chips that could compromise the mug’s usability.

please note: the final decision on how to use the mug is yours, and August & Belle does not accept liability for any issues that may arise from repurposing the mug for food or drink use.
