PSA for incense users:
incense are rly rly bad for the respiratory system of ur pets so when ur burning incense, do it in a room ur pet doesn’t usually spend a tone of time in and just open the windows
if ur burning an incense stick and u wanna put it out, you can dip it in water or just stub it out on like a rock or something. if u stub it out, it relights easy! if u use water, just snip off the part that got wet and boom, instant relight!! (great to prevent waste)
that’s all i got thanks for listening!!!
