One Sick, Lucky Day

I am home sick today with a viral throat infection but I am totally cheered up by two winnings on Facebook.

1. A prominent member of the wax community, Jessica, had a personal tragedy and some of her friends banded together to organise an auction to raise money to help her through this tough time. I placed a few bids over the weekend, with my last bid about two hours before the auction closed. I didn't think I would win because I expected a last minute flurry of bids but somehow I won one of the lots. I am so happy to be able to contribute and as a bonus get a great box of wax. I won the lot contributed by Audrey and except for Super Tarts, every vendor is new to me - Up The Creek, Sugar & Spice Gourmet, Sassy Girl Aroma, Rosegirls (!!), Vintage Chic Scents, Candles from the Keeping Room and Bit of Bliss.

2. A few hours later, after coming back from the doctor, I saw a notification that I had won a lot in the Vintage Chic Scents flash sale. I am super excited about this because the way the VCS website is set up doesn't allow for a non-US billing address, which makes me unable to order from them at the moment. My only hope is to try them through destashes or winning a Facebook flash sales, and I did! Whoo! The flash sale lot included 11 scent shots and 1 rose tart. The scents are a mystery which is driving me nuts! I can't wait to find out what I got.
