Black paint & red shoes

Two of my favorite things in Denton are moving to a new location or closing shop, respectively. Bad news but with a silver lining. 

Alter Ego is closing its door, or so I hear. This means 40% off of everything in this funky little vintage boutique. Located on Locust Street, a going-out-of-business sale on my home turf is not to be missed. 

My favorite candle shop, Wik, is moving headquarters to the Golden Triangle Mall (a pretty terrible move in my opinion, not that anyone asked). Wik is a tiny shop bursting with strongly-scented candles in modern, chic packaging. My favorite scent is Moonlight, but Creme Brulee is a fan staple. The store’s current location, the historical Denton square, is having a massive (25%-30%-off) sale in preparation for the move. Stock up now, and your wallet will thank you later. Insider tip: Buy the 4-oz. candle in a new scent you want to try out. Then, after the wax burns out, clean the glass jar, and use it for cotton balls, ribbons, swabs or paperclips. This way you get a cute little container and a test run with a new fragrance in a single purchase.
