The amount of support my little shop was shown yesterday is INCREDIBLE! You all almost sold me out of all my tins, and I only have 4 candles left! I’m truly overwhelmed right now. After not being really active in my business for several months now, it made me so happy to see how people believe in my shop and the new direction it’s going. Thank you all for the kind words, support, and I hope you’ll love your candles. I’m going to take today to rest from the chaos yesterday, and get right to packaging your orders tomorrow! Thank you all for everything!

15% of all proceeds from this launch will go to Day One Bags to helps those effected in .

Let’s talk mental health! Late last year and early this year, I felt like I was spiraling. I didn’t know how to handle the diagnosis I was given and I didn’t know who I was anymore. I was mad at this revelation, and felt lonely in the beginning. But then something amazing happened. I had so many around me speak kindly to me. They offered support and shared their own struggles with me. Their words, kindness, and relatability helped me get through a very dark time. And I eventually learned how to speak kinder to myself.

I am so proud of this new collection. I wanted to create something that will hopefully help others the same way I was helped. Maybe they don’t have anyone to offer them support. Maybe they do. But my hope with this line is that someone might feel hope, calm, healing, and joy when they light their candle and start smelling the fresh scents.

I cannot tell you how good it feels to be testing and making candles again. The last several months have been a wild ride, but making candles brings such joy! I have a new collection coming out on my 1 year anniversary of launching Flicker Etc and I’m so excited to share more details soon!

After watching a candle making video from last year, I casually mentioned to my husband how I wanted to try it sometime. On Christmas morning, I was delighted that he had gotten me a kit! I was so excited to try something new! Little did he know that he inadvertently woke a beast in me. A candle monster, if you will. My brain immediately started buzzing with happiness and I wanted to share the experience! I made a candle by myself, then with my husband, and then with my mom. After I saw their happiness, I started playing with the idea that maybe I could create a business out of this. I’ve been a maker for as long as I could remember, but there was nothing I had made that I felt a business model would work. On New Year’s Eve, I finally said out loud that I wanted to create a business with candle making. And with that, Flicker Etc was born! After months of testing, countless hours of research, many tears and feelings of self doubt, I was able to launch a my own very small business. I worked so hard to make this my primary job. Thanks to all of you, I was able to leave a toxic work place and work for myself and my family. I have found so much joy and self worth. While this isn’t the easiest gig, it’s one that brings so much happiness and fulfillment. And it all started with one little box on Christmas morning. Thank you for a wonderful 2021 and making this dream a reality. Thank you so much for helping to bring success to Flicker Ect! I am so excited to see what 2022 will bring!

This is a very vulnerable post. Also it’s a LONG post, but if me sharing helps even one person than I think that it will be worth it. I can’t share 1 minute yet so I’ll share this as a normal post.

A while ago, I had the epiphany that I might have ADHD. It made a lot of sense of how my brain was so scattered, yet I could hyperfixate on something. I mean I made one candle and then created an entire business from it! However, when I talked to my doctor about this, he said there were other symptoms I displayed that suggested I might be bipolar. I had no idea how to take that in at all. It immediately depresses me and I went into a spiral. I went to a psychiatrist, and he diagnosed me as bipolar 2, adhd, having ptsd, anxiety, and depression. However, I did not feel completely comfortable in his care. Honesty I felt like he was more annoyed than anything and wanted to give me a whole bunch of meds and call it a day. I knew my mental health was something that I had to take absolute care of and so I looked for a second opinion. I got the same diagnosis I felt more safe in my new doctor’s care. She listened to my goals and is working with me to achieve what’s best for this brain of mine.

The amount of support I got from posting about how I was not doing well mentally was overwhelming. People started sharing their stories with me, told me I wasn’t alone, and that they had my back. One lovely fellow candle/soap maker () even sent me a get well gift, which just made my heart so full! Knowing that I’m not alone in this mental health journey truly helped me accept my diagnosis so much easier. I was spiraling and didn’t have a sense of direction. But thankfully I have a wonderful community of people in my life who are so incredibly kind, helpful, and have added to my cup.

If you are struggling, please know you are not alone. Also don’t be afraid to seek help and accept help. And definitely don’t be afraid to seek a second opinion. Your mental wellness is so important and should be trusted to someone who take great care. Be well my friends, thanks for reading if you made it this far.

Thank you all for a crazy successful winter drop! This is my first year in business and I didn’t k ow what to expect but you guys exceeded all my expectations. I’m going to be working so hard to get your orders out this week! I am also letting y’all know the cutoff date that you can order to make sure you have your goodies on time for Christmas. I am saying December 10th will be the cut off for my business. Please also understand that once a package is dropped off, it is out of our hands. We are small business doing the best we can with the tools we have but it’s not a perfect system. Again I’m so thankful for all of your support and I can’t wait to get all of your weekend orders out!

These are one of my most favorite things I’ve made. These dough bowl candles are a beautiful statement piece to anyone’s table, entryway, wherever. These bowl candles can definitely be lit, however, they would make beautiful decorative statements for years to come. If you do decide to light them, then they could be repurposed as jewelry holders, another decorative piece, etc. There will only be 2 available for now and they are:

Yuletide Wishes: a pleasant earthy scent that called to the tradition of Yule.
Top: pine
Middle: earth
Bottom: moss

Cookies for Santa: this fragrance smells just like snicker-doodles. It’s the scent of placing a special treat for Santa.
Top: cinnamon
