High five to anyone who checked off an item from their procrastination list today. I knocked “cancel cable and land line” off mine after a year of thinking of it.

Who is coming out to the Bizarre Bazzar this weekend in Valparaiso, IN at Porter County Expo? www.facebook.com/events/57949...

Scent of the Day: Pudding! Why? It's Friday. You survived another week in this hellscape. We all deserve a treat. www.serpentandflame.com/collections/... #supernatural #spnfamily #smallbusiness #candles

I don’t do the tumblr but my daughter does and has introduced me to the plastic destroying Crow Boy… and now I need to read this book…. And might try to figure out tumblr again because they’re way more fun than booktok lol

Not a plug for any particular app, but for those of you who are looking for a way to doom scroll less, the Roots app has been working for me so far for the past week. Blocking social media for certain windows of the day and also limiting my time has definitely been helping. Not perfect, but better.

Shout out to all the bookstores I’m working on orders for this week. Usually when I go social media quiet, it’s the weeks I’m hunkering down and getting wholesale orders done.

If you were a fan of our retired John (Wick) candle, we just added three more to our inventory. Whenever organize boxes, we find surprises like these in our candle stash. www.serpentandflame.com/products/joh...

Christopher Eccleston photo op obtained. Cannot wait for Chicago Tardis 2025. #doctorwho

Since we weren't raptured away, let's talk #Supernatural! What character needs more love when it comes to merch? www.serpentandflame.com/collections/...

Off of social media for the most part this weekend only to discover the Rapture is tomorrow. Hope it goes better than the last few I’ve lived through. Also, do they take names? I’d like to submit some so we can start cleaning up this mess around here.

Monster of the Week is online! September’s blend is pumpkin pecan waffles. Only six more are available. www.serpentandflame.com/products/mon... #supernatural

What books are you reading for autumn/spooky season? I’m working on Dracula and Phantasma currently.

Me: I’m going to put these supplies for this project right here so I can find it layer. Today Me: cannot find where that magical place was to save my life. 😂

Whatcha reading this weekend, candle buddies? Scent of the Day: Book Club Why? Snickerdoodle Latte is a September scent in my mind.

Want to get your hands on our Monster of the Week blend? We only made nine candles for September so if you want some pumpkin pecan waffles, snag yours before they're gone. www.serpentandflame.com/products/mon... #supernatural

Think we’re going to put some of our subscription money to PBS. What shows do we need to check out?

Trying an app that blocks social media apps for part of the day so I can try to start breaking my scrolling habits. So if I’m slower to respond to messages than usual, that’s why. Trying to set some healthy limits for myself.

Made the mistake of commenting on a Facebook post. Immediately realized reading comprehension is a lost art.

Sadly, we've decided to discontinue our diffuser oil line. We know many of you still love them, but they've consistently been our lowest selling item. Be sure to snag these and any diffuser accessories before they run out. www.serpentandflame.com/collections/...

Never envisioned this would be the world my kids inherit. This kind of stuff was only in history books and dystopian novels.

Well, 4th grade is a good time to talk about 1st Ammendment violations when asked why we’d no longer have access to the Disney password we don’t pay for anyway. 🫠

It’s such a loosing battle, but clearly AI generated candle photos getting thousands of views on social media make me twitchy.

Oof. Tis the season for curating your timelines. Do what you need to do for your peace so you can keep on fighting.

Candle Auntie here to remind you that even though it's 80+ degrees in the midwest, you can still break out your favorite autumn candles. Be kind to yourself.

Scent of the Day: Family Business Why? 1. Supernatural is always in season. 2. Going to will second summer to go away with the autumn scent of spiced apple pie.

To tattoo or not to tattoo: that is the question. Let’s be real. It’s not even a question.

If anybody is still wanting any of the SJM silver jars, my sell off period ends this week so they’ll be pulled from the shop this weekend. ONLY the silver jars were licensed so anything in our regular 8oz jars will be sticking around.

If you're in the Blue Island, IL area on Sunday morning, stop by the 5K Market! Liv and I will have a vendor tent set up. I can't promise I won't look like a sweaty tomato since I'll be in the race. 😂

I miss when the Internet was silly things like Trogdor the Burninator rather than 24/7 rage bait machines.

Listen, if Lestat smelled like this… we blame no one for falling into his thrall. Our Lestat candle is a powerful, intense scent that combines rich woods with musk, lavender, lily and jasmine. www.serpentandflame.com/collections/... This blend is officially licensed. #iwtv

Last call for our #bookish preorder. We'll be ordering supplies soon. If you'd like to add Coffee Shop AU, Probably Reading Fanfiction, Grumpy Sunshine, Cowboy Romance or Hockey Romance to your bookish candle collection, hop on over to our website. www.serpentandflame.com/collections/...

Small Business Life: Why aren't people buying this thing? One Week Later: Realizes they never actually turned the listing active... Anywho... Autumn Court candles are in stock! 🤷🏻‍♀️

“Monsters of the Week”, a rotating blend, will be stocking soon. This blend changes every month based on random oils I have laying around. September’s blend is pumpkin pecan waffles.

Candle Auntie reminding you to trim your candle wicks and drink some water. Not at the same time, though. Water in the candles isn't fun.

Want a deal on some candle tins? We have some with damaged lids that are listed for a discount. You can get blends like Sam, Jared, I am a Winchester and more. The candles might not be pretty, but they sure do smell good. www.serpentandflame.com/products/sup...

Scent of the Day: Rowena Rowena was our top new scent at #Supernatural Chicago last weekend. This blend is floral, warm with earthy. notes. Smells like a beautiful, powerful witch to us. www.serpentandflame.com/collections/...

Did you see two of our newest #Supernatural inspired perfume? Castiel now joins Sam and Dean and Misha joins Jensen and Jared in our lineup. Castiel is a airy blend of ozone, vanilla and linen. Misha is a bright and earthy of bergamot, sandalwood and matcha. www.serpentandflame.com/products/4oz...

Sending a shout out to everybody who also works in accounting today who area also rushing to get business returns done before today's deadline. Accounting by day. Candles by night. That's how I roll.

Two more Jane Austen novels before I meet my goal to read them all this year. So far Northanger Abbey and Pride & Prejudice are my favorites. #booksky

My Spotify is so confused this week. Alternating between K-Pop Demon Hunters, Yungblud and Louden Swain.

I'm so glad my kids got me watching Dimension 20. Working our way through "The Unsleeping City" and it's the levity and joy I need this week.

Want to be one of the first to try our Supernatural incense? After rave reviews this summer, we're bringing them online. You can get J2 Hugs, Supernatural, Jensen, Dean or Carry On My Wayward Son in jars of 30 incense cones. www.serpentandflame.com/products/sup...

We hope you have the day you deserve... and since you're seeing us in your feed, we hope you deserve a day with a good book and some comfort food.

To celebrate SPN 20, we do what we always do: make more candles! We've added new blends and restocked long time favorites. You can also find our #Supernatural incense preorder and new body sprays. www.serpentandflame.com/collections/...

Sorry folks, got distracted on my way to make candles. I am now a cat bed. #caturday

Happy Supernatural Anniversary, #SPNFamily. Very few fandoms create something as magical as you have. I've met some of my most favorite people in the world through this fandom, not to mention you all have helped make Serpent & Flame what it is today. Forever grateful to you all. #supernatural

Dislike that for the rest of our lives we basically have to be like “wait is that AI” when seeing any media content. Ps: Any of our product photos will be real. Cat fur stuck to props and all.

Where's where you can find us in the wild over the next few months: -Blue Bridges 5K -Bizarre Bizaar -Tinley Park Library Fan Fest -Witches Be Crazy -WindyCon #chicago

We have from leftover Supernatural stock from last weekend. Who wants a restock this upcoming weekend?

What’s something good that you’re looking forward to this week? Let’s focus on that for a moment. My answer: Going to Twenty Sides Tavern on Friday in Chicago.
