The press hits for 2021 are rolling in, and we are counting down the days!

Only 3 more days until the 3rd annual SRW kicks off, and our team couldn’t be more excited (or busy). This year is our largest event yet, with over 50 participating restaurants, a new nonprofit partner, the Sonoran Sip Room, and VIP Launch Party! 🥳

Thanks to all who have followed the social media accounts, shared the love, wrote articles, posted on social media, and continue to support local restaurants! 🌵We are so grateful for your support.

Our team writes the best copy 😂 - BRING ON THE RAIN! We are ready!

If we light this candle, sing a song, and wish REEEEEAAALLLY hard, will the monsoon season officially kick in? ⛈️ Our sneak peek of the other day has us wishing for more rain!

This "Monsoon" premium candle is made locally in Tucson, and is prepared using phthalate-free fragrance oils of the finest quality to fill your home with a soothing aroma. It's made with pure soy wax with a cotton wick that is both lead and zinc free! So while we are all waiting for that next downpour, we can at least enjoy the summer scents of rain.

Shop our candle selection in person at our shop at the MSA Annex, or online on our website! https://www.whyilovewhereilive.com/collections/home-goods/

We shared some interesting information on why the Saguaro is looking different this year, on the latest post on WILWIL! Check it out here:

The Saguaro cacti has been behaving strangely this season, with blooms sprouting down the sides of it's arms. Traditionally the Saguaro blooms are at the tip of the trunk, and the arms, but this year they are sprouting in strange new ways... have you have seen any of these odd blooms out in the wild? 🌵

Cactus experts are predicting these results are due to odd conditions and distress over the past few years, but are still currently collecting research. With the research still pending, we hope the information researchers find will lead to health and flourishing for this resilient species.

Did you know the Saguaro is the Arizona state flower? Nominated in 1931, this special species holds a dear place in all of our hearts, and we look forward to appreciate it's beauty for the years to come!
