Darlings, Navigating the ever changing laws of small business can be challenging. I am currently working on how Whiskey & Woof will thrive. If you have any suggestions for local retailers in your area that have a devoted candle section please email coco@whiskeyandwoof. Next, I would like to thank Sharon from Colorado who wrote the below review of No. 72 Wasted Inheritance. This is a scent that came out of a conversation with a senior citizen on her neighborhood being gentrified unwisely. "What a waste of what his father left him, no one goes into that coffee shop." It was summer, my head was spinning with the notion of a wasted inheritance. I even bought the domain name and started...
On a chilly winter evening, as rain taps gently against my window and a candle flickers nearby, I find myself drawn to the Danish concept of hygge. This untranslatable word, pronounced "hoo-ga," has captured imaginations worldwide, offering a blueprint for finding contentment in life's simple pleasures. What Is Hygge? At its heart, hygge represents more than just coziness – it's a deliberate celebration of intimate moments and a conscious appreciation of comfort.

Let that first burn continue until the entire surface has melted into a seamless pool of wax. Yes, all the way to the edges, darling. This might take several hours, so perhaps catch up on that guilty-pleasure period drama you've been hiding from your book club. Your candle won't judge – it's too busy creating a perfect memory ring. Then, snuff it. This helps to optimize your burns.
Darlings, what could be more wonderful than swanning down the slopes? How about the after parties? The two may meld together without a break, so you'll want to smell fresh and playing host, keep the space inviting. Suggestion one: room/body sprays. Playing double duty, our sprays are made with an organic witch hazel base to make them skin safe and have you turning heads for the right reason. Suggestion two: scent the event with our signature No. 22 Sophisticate.
