Its #spookyszn!!! Today we released our October Small Batch - HOCUS POCUS. This candle is one of the first we ever made wayyy back in the day. However, we've saved it for just this occasion. Hocus Pocus is a cauldron of fragrances - oud, incense, myrrh, frankincense, smoke, and so much more. Meant to conjure scenes of a gathering of witches around a campfire, this candle is sure to be a seance for the senses. Head to the shop now to get yours today! Miss out on this one at your own peril ☠️

And yes, this automatic discount can be stacked with FALL15 😉
What I'm reading - The Andromeda Strain by Michael Crichton. Given that we're on back-end of the pandemic, or better put - the virus is approaching endemic status, it seemed appropriate to pick this novel up. Crichton was a master of suspense and story telling and this novel consistently ranks as quite possibly his best. I'll report back on my thoughts once I'm finished.
What I'm watching - Lizzo Playing James Madison's Crystal Flute. I'm intrigued. This is pretty cool. I have read about the crystal flute (albeit super briefly) in a biography of our 4th president.
What I'm watching, Part II - Abbott Elementary on ABC. My wife has been watching this show over the last year and I've caught bits and pieces, here and there. I sat down to watch the Season 2 premiere earlier this week and thoroughly enjoyed it. I'd categorize the show as a spiritual successor of sorts to Parks and Rec and The Office.
What I'm burning - Gulf. This is one of a our summer seasonals that we released a few months back. It is more of a masculine scent, combining sea salt and musky notes. The more I burn it, the more I like it. It transports me to the Gulf of Mexico and puts me right at the water's edge, at least in my mind.
What I'm listening to - Running on Empty cover by Billy Strings. The original by Jackson Browne is unquestionably a classic. This cover is pretty damn good too fwiw.
