The thrilling saga of how I paid almost $50 and waited a week to get this Halsin candle that has been shoved in my face as a targeted ad everywhere I look only for it to be delivered too high up and for it to be broken
I had to find a broom and gently scooch it to where I could reach it ((and one of the neighbors came in to do laundry and saw me struggling) only for this candle to be BROKEN WHEN I OPENED IT
I'm GENUINELY SO UPSET.
My only option is to return for a refund!!! But the refund doesn't cover the $~20 shipping so if I return, refund, and reorder I'm out $40 and at this point it's not even worth it 😭
Edit:: messaged the seller on Instagram, they're sending me a whole new one 😭✨️🙌

#OTD in 1926 – Dublin-born, Violet Albina Gibson, daughter of Lord Ashbourne, shot Benito Mussolini in Rome on this date.
Italian Fascist leader, Benito Mussolini, had just given a speech in Rome to the International Congress of Surgeons when a bullet nearly ended his life. After Mussolini finished his speech praising modern medicine, he walked to his car. At the time, no one noticed Violet Gibson, a small Irish woman with a long history of mental illness, standing among the crowd, just feet from Mussolini.

Alexander Ashbourne was born into slavery circa 1820 in Philadelphia, and lived to be 95 years old. He moved to Oakland, California, in the 1880s to run his own grocery store. However, his greatest invention still lives on today.
Alexander Ashbourne is best known for his patents that made coconut oil accessible for domestic use. Mr. Ashbourne received a patent for treating coconut on Aug. 21, 1877. He received patent number 194,287 for his process. The process for refining the oil includes: filtration, bleaching, heated to a very high temperature, and it is hydrogenated to ensure that no unsaturated fatty acids are left in the oil. He also gained a patent for a process for preparing coconut oil on July 27, 1880. He started working on this refining process in 1875, and continued until 1880.
Mr. Ashbourne’s process is still used today and has been built upon by food companies worldwide. Thanks to his work, coconut oil is used in hair products, foods and scented products.
In addition to coconut refining, Mr. Ashbourne patented his biscuit cutter invention on May 11, 1875. Before the biscuit cutter, cooks had to shape biscuits by hand.
