Here comes the sun...
(we hope!)
It's March already - time is definitely marching on! Wow, we have a jam packed newsletter this month, even if we do say so ourselves. With LOADS of top notch releases and events on the horizon, don't miss out, get your read on...
We know, we know, we're like a broken record, but, we have to warn you so you're not left disappointed:
- Pre-orders sell FAST and can be LIMITED - so don't hang around, Like a Bat out of Hell, they'll be gone before the morning comes ;)
- Release dates do have a tendency to slip from time to time. But if you're lost, you can look and you will find them (hopefully) on the product page on the website and if we've been a little disorganised (or more likely not been told), drop us a message/email/call or over on our social channels (@waxandbeans)

This month, Luna has gone from boiling hot / panting like mad to...
well, freezing cold and in need of blankets!
Don't worry though, whilst she's had her yearly shear, her scrappy curls will be back soon. It's looking like her Old English Sheepdog grey will be growing through on her body, instead of the usual black... she's obviously decided it's time to go a little off (Wax and Beans) brand!
