live laugh blog | candle-making

this is a post about a haircut, spicy candle, elusive vegan turkey roast, gray cake, etc.

in my last blog i booked a hair appointment and i've since had that hair appointment.

brb, circumnavigating the globe

...haha jk. my pal, tyler, is though. tyler was my manager for a significant (and actually productive) part of my time at my last job. i hadn't heard from him in a long time when he messaged me a few weeks ago to announce that he was sailing around the world and would be in my area soon. every day is a winding road!

i spent most of halloween chaotically making candles

today is halloween and, no, i do not have a costumed addendum to my costume roundup from last year. i did wear a wig that i recently got so i could see what i'd look like with long blonde hair, though.

my candles needed thicker wicks

remember in may when i made candles and they burned a tunnel instead of all the way through? my hypothesis was that i needed thicker wicks. before i get into that adventure, i first want to tell you *a tale of the ultimate betrayal of friendship*...

we began a candle-making adventure, i messed up!

after rearranging my apartment, buying way too much fir tree essential oil and not enough soy wax, i'm excited to report that we finally made some candles, and that i did an absolute shit job! let me show you some of the process...
