The day the witch set herself on fire.

Unfortunately, this is not a symbolism blog.

It actually happened.

There I was minding my own business, creating spell jars in the Apothecary. I grabbed a candle to seal the jars with wax, now I'm kind of old fashioned, I like to drip the wax from the candle, rather than the spoon method.. it feels more personal.

I look down to see two flames from the single candle, "Ah cool" I thought..... until I realized the second flame was actually my thumb nail.

There I was, sat at the desk, looking at what I can only describe as the scene in Beetlejuice where she makes flames appear on each finger. I screamed, blew out my thumb, dropped the candle onto the desk and the spell jar took flight. I then found myself, with half a thumb nail, trying to extinguish the candle rolling around on the desk nicely, while also cursing the universe.

That's how I found out acrylic nails are flammable.

I warned you.

I am chaos.

But hopefully, It made you laugh.

This is me, hopefully never going to set fire to myself with a pink candle again.
