Breast Cancer Awareness Month

2006-09-28T07:20:00.000-07:00

Hey There,

Remember October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month and Sweetest Day is On the 3rd Saturday of the Month. So why not get together and spread awareness. I will bring all of the information that I have on the subject of Breast Cancer and if you are a survivor or know one then maybe you wouldn't mind sharing the experience and educating others. A percentage of the proceeds will be donated to finding a cure for breast cancer.

It's that time of the year where people are ready to shop for the holidays and hang out in a warm cozy home shooting the breeze and having fun amongst family and friends. Perfect time to host a Waxy Desires Candle Party. Sounds like a lot of work? Well it isn't, all you have to do is invite 10 or more family members and friends and make some snacks of make it a pot-luck to save you even more work and I will provide the candles and the ambiance. In doing so you will receive a gift basket of candles and things and 15% of the total sale for the night in candles. All I need to know is what day and time do you want to do this. Fridays are awesome days and Saturdays work too. These parties my include men, as well.

Get Your Body Massage Candle Tins for Sweetest Day!

Waxy Desires Will Be On CLTV's Metromix

2006-07-28T15:43:00.000-07:00

Hey Family,

It's been a few days but I have been busy getting things ready for my Metromix debut. Today Summer Jackson, Co-host of CLTV's Metromix came to Waxy Desires and did an awesome story that will air sometime within the next 2 weeks. I will post on Monday after speaking with her, the exact date it will air. The day it airs, it will come on 4 times. Waxy Desires is so excited for the exposure. It's been 7 years and this is our first time being on television. Also, we were in the Chicago Defender last Wednesday - or did I mention that already! Have 1 more article we are waiting on to be published so stay tuned!

Waxy Desires is Doing It Big

2006-07-23T10:36:00.000-07:00

Waxy Desires has takean a couple days off to reevaluate what direction we are going with our company. So far we have managed to stay alive for 7 years with just a few stores supportign us and a nice amount of individual clients that include a few celebrities. Well all of that was fine and dandy for the past but now we have to soar to new heights and stop putting limits on what we can achieve. Our goal now is to hit Bloomingdales, Marshall Fields/Macy's, Whole Foods, Saks Firth Ave and other high end stores. We will still continue to be around to do the home parties and big venor events but soon you will be able to make your purchase at one of those stores you go to get those high end wedding gifts from. So there it is - that is where we are today. Our dessert candles deserve to be marketed in places where money is no object or issue and we are going to get them right there.
