24/11/2023

πŸŽ‰ Our Black Friday Event is happening NOW! πŸŽ‰ No code required - save 20% on everything in the shop, including a huge restock of our Canvas Collection favorites! Canvas candles aren't normally discounted, so this is a great time to grab a couple for your shelves, if you've been eyeing them. πŸ’œ
Don't forget with the holiday shopping season upon us to note processing times when placing your order -- it's updated regularly and listed at the top of the website so its easy to find. πŸ‘
Also - the last day to order for xmas delivery here in the US is quickly approaching! The shop will close for new orders on 12/2, to allow us to get out the last of the holiday packages before the USPS shipping cutoff on the 16th. πŸ’œ
I hope you all had an amazing turkey day yesterday with fantastic food, family & friends, darlings! Here's to surviving the craziness of the holiday season. πŸŽ…

Happy Thanksgiving to all those who celebrate! πŸ¦ƒ
I’ve been reflecting over the past year today and feeling so grateful for all the love and support in this community that's gotten us through a really difficult time of family health issues and loss.
I appreciate you all so much... thank you again for notes of encouragement, checking in on me and being such an overall fantastic community. You all have been a blessing for me and mine during this difficult time for the Flickerwix household.
So in addition to feeling grateful for the family finally being healthy, I am most thankful for you! πŸ’œ
I hope you all have an amazing day today with friends and family, and as you look back over the past year that you've have a ton of your own things to be thankful for. πŸ’œ
I know it's been a bit since we've had shop updates out - with the family obligations requiring travel and monopolizing so much of my time of late, I'm behind schedule on several announcements including our rep search results. I'm so sorry about that - I know it's difficult waiting for decisions. Those selections will be coming out this weekend along with a change on the rep period dates to accommodate for the tardiness on my part. I'll be reaching out shortly to check that folks are still available and not over committed with the change in rep term. So keep an eye out for updates - they will be soon! πŸ’œ
Gobble, gobble, Darlings! πŸ˜‰

β€œYou’re just his type, actually.” β€œHis type?” Erekkus leaned forward and gave me a conspiratorial smirk. He held out a finger with each word. β€œBeautiful. Mysterious. Dangerous. And an obvious, clear-as-the-f**king-moon mistake.”
― Carissa Broadbent, Slaying the Vampire Conqueror
Oh, yes... give me an enemies to star-crossed lovers trope every day of the week! If you're like me and positively ADORE Atrius from ' fabulous Slaying the Vampire Conqueror, you're not going to want to miss our restock this evening! πŸ‘
Fierce and stunning, Atrius is brought to life by the amazingly talented Kseniya () - swipe for closeup.

Boo-ya! πŸ‘» It's time to get sheet-faced around here, bbs! πŸ‘»
Even though it's still hotter than Chapter 55 here in the sunshine state, we've got some Witchful Thinking goin on 'round here at the Flickerwix shop with some AMAZING new additions for the season! With 23 new fall scents dropping, you're bound to find a candle (or two) for whatever spices YOUR pumpkin. πŸ˜‚ Be sure to swipe for some sneak peeks of our gorgeous (and adorbs) Apothecary Collection and then head to stories for a deep dive on all the new releases! These delectable babies are dropping Friday, September 1st at 8 pm eastern and will show as "SOLD OUT" until then.
Please note! Due to Hurricane Idalia, the website is CURRENTLY DOWN to prep for the drop. Since we didn't need to evacuate and we still have power, I'm expecting the website to be back up again by Friday morning at the latest for you to be able to peruse the new babies at your leisure, and then inventory will be added on the limited stock items at 8 pm. If we can bring the website back up earlier than that, we certainly will - stay tuned for more news on that front. The storm forced us to change our drop schedule a wee bit, but we're getting back on track. πŸ‘
QOTD: What are your favorite scents for fall?! I am a foodie candle addict for sure. Pumpkin everything, spiced vanilla, berries & spices, apples, apples & more apples. Hell yes... sign me up for all of it. What are your faves for fall? πŸŽƒ
On a serious note... after a close call with the hurricane overnight last night here at the Flickerwix house, our thoughts and prayers are with our fellow Floridians as it makes landfall today. We hope you and yours are all healthy, safe and sound. πŸ’œ
Happy Wick Wednesday, Darlings! I hope you have an amazing day today! πŸ’œ

"Whatever of you I can have. I’ll take one night. One hour. One minute. Whatever you want to give me. I’ll have it.”
― Carissa Broadbent, Six Scorched Roses
QOTD: How do you feel about novellas?! I must admit I adore a good novella. Especially when they give you that quick fix you are absolutely dying to get of your favorite characters while you are (not so) patiently waiting for the next book in the series to drop. 🀣 Not to mention, sometimes novellas share with you some amazing backstory and depth to characters that you realize you adore as much as the MMC & FMC of the series but that you wouldn't get any other way! Needless to say, if you've not read Six Scorched Roses yet and you are a fan of the Crown of Nyaxia universe, you TOTALLY NEED TO READ IT RIGHT NOW! Vale is positively :: swoon-worthy :: and it's made me fall head over heels for him. 🀭
Happy Thursday, My Beautiful Book Nerds! πŸ’œ
As promised, I've got more sneak peeks today for our gorgeous Crowns of Nyaxia / Serpent & the Wings of night drop coming THIS SUNDAY (7/16) at Noon, Eastern! After that intro, you obviously can tell that I'm as obsessed with Vale as I am with Raihn, so of course there's no way we could leave him out of the collection! πŸ™ˆ
Vale is sexy, masculine, and mildly floral with notes of Ebony Woods, Jasmine, Citrus and Bargains... he's positively delish and the perfect burn for your Six Scorched Roses and Ashes reads! This gorgeous piece was painted by the incredible Kseniya () and will be available at the drop as Candles, Melts & Prints.
All of our Crown of Nyaxia pieces are Officially Licensed and we are SO EXCITED to be able to bring these babies to you! Swipe for more peeks! 😻
Have a fantastic afternoon, my darlings! πŸ’œ

Aspen Frost has fallen from grace. Once among the upper echelons of popularity at Magik Prep Academy, a terrifying event at a party leaves a nasty rumor in its wake and thrusts her into social isolation.

Cole Raiden is an unusual hybrid of phoenix and fire-drake. And out of control. When a disastrous accident leaves him devastated and unable to control his inner flames, Magik Prep Academy is his last hope to regain any chance of a normal life. Ostracized because of his genes and his touch that reduces everything to ash, Cole seeks refuge in his loneliness.

But when bullies find them both, Aspen and Cole reach for the same piece of magic, then find themselves plummeting through time, landing at the beginnings of Magik Prep Academy.

War is on the horizon. If Aspen and Cole can't find a way back home, they'll be caught in a fight that could decimate their future. Cole and Aspen must learn to trust each other, and trust themselves, if they have any hope of reaching their own time again.

BAN FASCISTS, NOT BOOKS!

As a Florida-based Business, we've seen more than our fair share of fascism this year. And to be honest, it's been one of the main reasons for our hiatus from social media over the past few months. It's so hard to see all the bickering and hate on social media these days over politics, gender issues and personal freedoms that it's caused my anxiety and worry to skyrocket.
As a dedicated reader, it is an absolute travesty to see the wave of book banning here in my own state and to see news articles about others' legislatures pushing for the defunding of libraries. I've never seen anything like this before in my life, and no matter what side of the isle you stand on, restriction of information and free speech is NEVER a good thing. So... That said, I've finally come to the conclusion that the only way for me to feel better about what's going on is to do what I can, in my own small way, to try to make a difference.
In today's restock, we're releasing two charity candles. Ban Fascists, Not Books! and Read Banned Books. Both of which have our best-selling Enchanted Library scent and are available in 4 oz Tins or 4 oz Glass (with glitter). Each sale of either of these candles will donate $3.00 to Pen America to help fight censorship, support authors, and hopefully protect access to diverse voices in our great nation.
We're just a little candle shop, but I'm hopeful that these babies will help us raise money for a very worthy cause. If you'd like to do more or donate on your own, you can read about Pen America and what they do through links in my bio.
Also.. while you're there... if you're in Florida and want to see reproductive freedom on the ballot in 2024, be sure to follow that link on my profile to Floridians Protecting Freedom to find out how to submit your petition.
BAN FASCISTS, Darlings... Ban the Fascists! πŸ’œ
So! I've missed you all, my lovelies. πŸ™‚ How you been?

Q: Who's your favorite TOG Couple?! Of course I love Rowaelin.. who doesn't? But, I think my fave is Manorian. They're such an opposites attract kind of couple and Manon's sass just leads to so much amazing banter between them that I think they've edged out all the other amazing duos in the series for me. Uggh.. it is hard to choose though, because Elorcan's Grumpy/Sunshine is amazing, too. πŸ˜‚ Who's your fave?!
Hurricanes and power outages and evacuations, OH MY!!!! Happy Monday, my darling book nerds... how have you been?! Welp, it's certainly been a month here at the Flickerwix house. Fortunately for us, we managed to escape hurricane Ian with minimal impact unlike soooo many of my neighbors, but with mandatory evacuations with the family and our beasts, it's certainly been a stressful time. Who knew pups were worse than kiddos?! πŸ˜‚
At this point, we're back home and have almost caught up from the impacts to processing times and the business. We were so very fortunate to have missed the majority of the storm and I'll take that as a huge blessing. I also wanted to pause and send a huge thank you out to you all for your support and patience as we've work through the delays from outages and whatnot. I really appreciate all the love and support that we've received over this stressful time, so thank you so so much. You guys are amazing!πŸ’œ
Soooo... That said, I'm loooong overdue with announcing our next restock date and sneakies! So, without further a-do....drum roll, please!
Hello Princeling is the next release for our ToG Canvas Collection and is positively sexy and delish with notes of wild jasmine, amber, sea salt, white musks and temptation. This stunning Manorian piece was done by the amazing , and will drop at our next restock on Sunday, 10/16 at Noon, Eastern!
This piece is fully licensed,(quantities are limited, darlings!) and will drop as candles, melts and prints.
Also, keep an eye out for some super exciting NEW PRODUCTS coming to the shop this restock, too! I'll have more sneakies throughout the week! πŸ’œ
I hope everyone has been doing amazing! Have a fantastic afternoon, my darlings!πŸ’•
