If you are anything like us, you love to light candles but you hate to burn yourself. It may seem next to impossible to light a candle without burning yourself but in reality? This TikTok user is here to help.

Thanks to their awesome hack, you will not have to worry about this issue any longer. Your days of accidentally burning yourself have come and gone.

The video has already received nearly eight million views and is brought to you courtesy of Sidney Raz. Sidney’s got an uncanny knack for explaining things that we have often struggled with. If you have been struggling to light a candle with multiple wicks, this is your chance to make things right.

“Years of anxiety released,” the post is captioned. His hack is so easy to use, you won’t be able to believe your eyes.

Instead of worrying about lighting each of the wicks individually, he simply lights the first one and the rest takes care of itself. He leans the candle once the first wick is lit and this one will light the others as needed. It’s really that simple, we promise you. No more burned fingers for us!

“You do not light them one by one, Raz explains to the audience in the clip. “You light one, and then use that to light the others.”

This makes too much sense and we wish that we had thought of it earlier. Like many of the people who commented on this video, we had no idea that this hack was even possible but we are now able to light candles with grace and precision.

Check out the hack in the video below:
