This sentence was initially added as a translation of sentence #29461Burning the candle at both ends reduces the candle to wax in a hurry - just like a playboy having a pretty girl on each arm..

Quemar la vela por ambos extremos la reduce a cera muy deprisa - igual que un mujeriego que tuviese una mujer atractiva en cada brazo.
