Malicious Women - a blog about candles
Are you paying attention to what’s happening at the Supreme Court? If not, you need to because our rights AND our lives depend on it. There are multiple instances of carefully crafted lawsuits created specifically to slide up to the Supreme Court.

On January 23, 2019, Lindsay Tarr came in to the Malicious Women Candle Co hoping to find a gift for her Federal Employee friend, who was currently on furlough. Lindsay asked if we had a Government Shutdown candle and I said “No…but we should!”
For months, my jeans have been shrinking. I am now at the point where I air-dry all my clothes and they are still shrinking. I have this internal debate each time I do laundry like…”I’ve only worn these jeans three times…I have them perfectly stretched out…If I wash them, they will shrink and I will have to start the process all over again.”
