This is it.
You wake and sit up in your bed, hands gripping the covers, excitement of the day thrumming through you as you get out of bed and get dressed and ready. As you go about your day, small reminders of your day come to you: in the extra cheer and small smiles from your coworkers, and a few sweets and desserts that they bring to your work station, texts and calls from loved ones.
Finally, your work day comes to a close and head home. The front door to your house is in sight, and you readjust the strap of your bag on your shoulder to grab your keys from one of the pockets. You unlock the door, step inside, and close the door on a dark house.
You flip on the light switch and suddenly, cheers and shouts of, "Surprise!" come from around the house. Excited and smiling faces of loved ones blow on noise makers, and you see balloons and a banner strung across the entryway that you'd missed before in the dark. Light music starts up from the living room, and you greet as many people as you can.
They lead you to the dining room table, and you sit in front of a confetti cake perched on a cake stand. Lit birthday candles dance a warm golden glow across everything. The fluffy sweet cream and sugar sit on the cake in tantalizing swirls of vanilla frosting, and it takes some willpower not to swipe a finger through it to see if it's as soft and sugary as it seems.
At the end of their off-key rendition of a birthday song, you close your eyes, try to think of a Birthday Wish that you would possibly want or need to come true, and blow out the candles.
As smoke trails towards the ceiling, you sit back in your chair, content as someone begins cutting and passing out pieces of vanilla pound cake covered in sugary buttercream frosting.

Small batch, hand poured, pure yellow beeswax candle with a crackling wooden wick and bamboo lid in an apothecary style amber jar.
Beeswax burns longer than other types of waxes and is a sustainable resource that helps promote bees populations. Our candles burn for an average of 45 hours.
We recommend that you remove the stamp before burning the candle. This will prolong the look of the candle, as it runs the risk of melting as the candle burns and could ruin the aesthetic of the candle over time if left on.
You can also reuse or recycle the container for home use when the candle is done to keep the Earth a bit greener.
For best use, trim the wick before every burn and allow about 3 hours at a time, or until the wax pool hits the side of the jar to prevent tunneling and sooting.
