While I try not to be redundant with my posts, today deserves another update—because you all are incredible! Last night, I received another 42 orders (plus the 42 order from launch night and 24 winter bundles = 108 orders), continuing the trend of this being the largest launch to date. Plus I've sold 47 Winter Books so far!!! 🎉 I am so grateful to each and every one of you for making this possible!
But the most amazing part? The “Gift It Forward” contributions were off the charts. We had 12 Gift It Forwards generously purchased, meaning 28 orders were setup to receive a free gift—courtesy of this wonderful community! The kindness and generosity you show continues to blow me away.
Here’s a shoutout to those who made this magic happen:
• Dominick gifted 18 people a wax melt!
• Brokegirl_11 gifted “A Season of Change” book.
• Ally I gifted a wax melt.
• Laura G. gifted two copies of “A Season of Change” book.
• Rick gifted 3 wax melts, a small candle, a large candle, and “A Season of Change” book.
And again, thank you to Ava and Meagan for kicking off the the gifts on launch night!
And the giving isn’t over yet! We still have 7 Gift It Forwards ready for my next live to surprise even more of you during future orders. (Please note, Gift It Forwards that are not redeemed during the live they were purchased on, are paused from being distributed while I am not live packing orders.)
I genuinely can’t thank you all enough for the love you show me and my small business, and for how generous you are to others in our community. Your kindness warms my heart, and your support makes everything possible. I feel so blessed to have such an incredible group supporting Illuminate Apothecary. 💛✨
Thank you for making this journey so amazing—together, we’re illuminating so much light and love!
Jonathan, it has been my pleasure to do all the Gift Forwards, you and the Illuminate community are like family to me. I cherish you all more than you could ever imagine, you all have helped me through some tuff times in the last two years , with the loss of my mom and sister in the same year to just needing a friendly place to feel the love. Thank you with all my heart ❤️ ❤️❤️
Last night felt like a true kickoff to the holiday season. Thanks to all those who were so generous is their gift it forward donations and thanks Jonathan and Patrick for creating such a warm and welcoming environment.
