Ep 64: Kathleen McGivney - Fairuza Balk's Vestacha International Candle

Mar 12, 2024

This week, Selena chats with candlehead Kathleen McGivney (@kmcgivney on Insta and CEO of @redbarcrew on Insta), a woman who witnessed Selena’s triumphant candle win at Linda Loves Bingo back in December! They discuss that fateful night and, of course, Kathleen’s candle journey, from goth teen intention candles to party tablescapes to candle rituals, their love of peony, and beyond. They also talk Legos, wax seals, and NYC. She shares her all-time favorite candle and it’s a star-studded story of 90s royalty! Subscribe, rate, and review please! (Music: bensound.com)
