Transcript

You know, I do make candles, and they are that fucking good. But tier truth is, I don't wanna waste your time with a long ad, and I sure as hell don't wanna waste mine. So I'll keep it short, and I'll keep it sweet. The candles are on sale right no, right here in the TikTok shop, and they are cheaper than usual, which is nice because I wasn't really sure which direction prices tier gonna go. So it feels good to be able to offer them on sale. Enjoy it.
