PSA: During summer months, I do not ship on weekends, so most packages will go out on a Monday. I want to minimize the chance of your candles sitting in a hot warehouse somewhere for days on end.

The curve this developed towards the end is maddening

This takes a lot more cardboard than you would think.

Cat, I’m actively trying to make something for you and you decide it’s lap time?

After an extremely long health-related absence, I’m back and reorganizing my candle site. New product types means a revamped navigation. Photos are still a WIP and there’s a bit of mess but I’m getting there. grumpycandlecompany.com

Also medical professionals never seem prepared to hear “no” when they ask if you have an emergency contact

After what can more or less be described as a “health fiasco” I am in fact alive and ready to do THINGS again.

I shaved my head fully bald for the first time and why does my scalp feel so warm like feverishly warm, this is uncomfortable

Realizing how many of my coworkers weren’t even alive for the start of Iraq and Afghanistan and kind of horrified

I have an online store & recently stocked it with all my soap and some more bath and body products! All handmade by me. And to celebrate my birthday, shipping is free on orders of $25 or more! Use code ANDEVERYTHING (because I turned 42 and that's the answer to the universe. 😉) arcanabyastaria.com

Not to be lost among the holidays, remember that I also have a legally distinct post-apocalypse mood setting collection for something you might be doing each week from roughly next weekish until early February? grumpycandlecompany.com/collections/...

Anyone ordering an odd number of candles will be getting a free sample of carpet freshener. Why only odd-numbered orders? Because my boxes fit even numbers of candles. A good reason, I know.

All current candle orders will be shipping out tomorrow! You still have time to get your orders in for Christmas, too! grumpycandlecompany.com/collections/...

No Black Friday sale from me, I’m afraid. But you certainly CAN still buy my Holiday candles! They make great stocking stuffers, or just great for setting a festive mood. grumpycandlecompany.com/collections/...

By small batch I mean I’ve made like 5 of each of these tops. They are extremely temporary.

Please enjoy the extremely small-batch super-limited Nonspecific Post-Apocalypse collection. Make your watch party for nonspecific apocalypse media smell better than a nuclear winter. grumpycandlecompany.com/collections/...

This Windows 11 update adding text formatting to Notepad tells me they fundamentally misunderstood the assignment because Notepad not having any of that shit was the reason we used Notepad. Its barebones nature was its entire point.

All current orders have been shipped, if not already delivered. So if you haven’t ordered your fall/holiday candles yet, do it! Hot Cocoa is calling your name! grumpycandlecompany.com/collections/...

A real-life customer wants me to bring back my Monkey Farts candle from summer 2024 because it covered up weed smell in their apartment, lol?

I released carpet freshener. I also released my fall/holiday fragrances. And you can get carpet freshener in some of my fall/holiday fragrances, like Cookies For Santa! grumpycandlecompany.com/products/car...

Finally had the energy to print some labels and only after doing so did I realize I was supposed to use the taller labels These short ones are for something else ~_~

Are there any vtubers that are just tired old men Can I do that one

I do believe I have Covid again because my sense of smell has completely disappeared. I uhhh will not be working on product development for my candles etc until it returns. Obviously.

Why are Tyson chicken nuggets like that, man. That ain’t chicken. That’s a cleaning sponge. What a horrendous texture. Turning meat into whatever those are is an affront to god.

That’s better

I thought I used too much blue but I don’t think I used enough. First pour used 4 drops and the hot wax looked BLACK so I backed off to only 2. But I think I should’ve gone harder? That first pour was also competing with vanillin content so idk. This was not a very scientific test.

Maybe a vanillin-heavy fragrance was not a good choice for learning to use wax dyes I’ve managed to achieve brown and black

Made a generic wax melt label just for product photo purposes, so every page has one. Of course, I have to retake it again, because I got some schmutz on the label…

Don’t have the right size labels yet, but did a test print of a warning label. Very exciting stuff. Truly.

I’m back on this carpet freshener nonsense again. Much more successful this time. Didn’t clump (yet.) Used some leftover watermelon candy fragrance for this test batch mostly to prove to myself this stuff doesn’t have to ONLY smell like lavender or whatever.

Order your Fall/Winter/Holiday candles today to get the prestige of buying them before my photography is done! Very prestigious! grumpycandlecompany.com/collections/...

I still have some photography etc work to do, but my Fall/Holiday collection is technically up! PSA: I could not keep Cookies for Santa in stock last year. Order that early if you want it. grumpycandlecompany.com/collections/...

Pouring my Fall/Holiday fragrances while praying the cats don’t involve themselves and taint my work with cat hair.

I’m shipping out all current orders tomorrow, so if you’re quick, you might get to receive yours pretty damn fast!
