November 10, 2015. Tacos Manzano. North Hollywood.
Taco Tuesday meant $1 tacos. It also meant I was about to go on a first date with my future wife.
Obviously, you never truly know what a great first date will lead to, but we recently celebrated our 5-year wedding anniversary with our 17-month-old son on Halloween.
The next frontier is a project we officially launched on Black Friday in 2024: Hollywood Hills Candle Co.
We've had a solid first year and have received tons of support from our friends & family, but we don't want this to simply be a side project. We want our brand to develop and thrive. So one of the new features we're launching is our new blog called the Director's Cut. We'll post one per month, featuring a wide array of topics including candles, pop culture, relationships, family life, etc.
Up next is the first anniversary of our company coming later this month. I'm officially announcing we'll have $24 candles sitewide from Black Friday through Cyber Monday. Free shipping over $88. If you haven't had a chance to support a family-owned small business, what better time than the week of Thanksgiving?
So thank you for reading this far. Thank you for the support we've already received and hopefully will continue to receive. And happy 10th anniversary of our first date.
