AN OPEN LETTER TO ALL MY FOLLOWERS AND READERS:
DEAR, CANDLE FAM! 📜
I hope each one of you and your dear ones are safe. 🌱 I know I’ve been a bit distant lately, and despite life feeling paused during the pandemic, it’s been a non-stop hustle for me. The Wick Wax journey started in the midst of it all, and since 2021 of launching this little brand, I’ve been hustling from every month of 2022 and 2023, but don’t get me wrong — I’ve genuinely loved and enjoyed creating art for all of you and building wonderful connections. 🫶🏻
But it’s time to hit pause and cherish the important stuff. So, the plan for 2024: taking a break, postponing new product productions, prioritizing my mental health, and almost disappearing or ghosting y’all as I contemplate of returning to the corporate world, and maybe leaving the country…for good. Or is this what they call a quarter-life crisis? 😅 Lately, I’ve been feeling uninspired. And I honestly don’t know why. Or maybe I got tired of brainstorming every concept, every scent blends, and doing it once or twice a month. Being a one-man team is truly exhausting, no sugarcoating. 😅 (Managing five businesses on my own, is undeniably exhausting. ☹️)
A massive shoutout to everyone who’s been there since day one. This journey wouldn’t be the same without each one of you. Thank you for being a part of this story, to all the customers (turned friends) who bought, liked, shared, & supported this small brand! It’s not a goodbye, just a short break. ☁️ (P.S. I still have a few items left: Cloud Candles, Signature Candles, Home & Linen Sprays, Hanging Car Perfumes. Feel free to drop me a message for orders. 🤗) Happy New Year, everyone! 🎉
Love and light. ❤️🔥 —ZED, THE WICK WAX!
