Did you know we were known for our lip balm before candles? Back when we were still called "Nerdtastic", our first two scent lines were lip balm and sugar scrubs.
We added two new flavors today: Leviathan (pistachio) and Rugaru (red licorice).

Just a reminder... if you order a mix of preorder items and ready-to-ship items one one order, they all ship at one time. This is because only one shipping fee is paid. If you want two shipments, they must be purchased separately.

Sprays have been restocked! You can take some of your favorite candle scents with you all day long.
Our listings have also been updated so each spray has it's own individual item rather than shopping one large list.

I'm so sick of all the AI buttons and pop ups on everything. It's making already cluttered UI look even worse.... aside from being terrible for the environment and brain power.

As a small business, it's a bit terrifying knowing you're not going to be able to fully work for several months even if it's medically necessary. I'll be having surgery in March so no candles will be created until at least May. I'll be able to work on smaller (lighter) items once I'm able.

Noped out of my garage (the candle making place) so very fast today and immediately put an order in for a better space heater. Fingers crossed it works or it's going to be a rough week in the candle mines.
