What are some things that help you sleep at night? I suffer kind of with anxiety and depression and nothing really calms me enough for sleep
I'm sorry you're having trouble sleeping. I used to have that problem when I first opened my factory because I had so many new ideas and nerves running through my body.
If I could suggest a white noise, storytelling or an audio book app, those always help me. The best ones, I think, are vintage and oldies music live streams with rain put over them. Some good free apps and YouTubers that stream music and white noise 24hrs:
Nemo's Dreamscapes (YouTube, and the best one, in my opinion)
Chilling (Scary storytelling app, if you're into that sort of thing)
Yellow Brick Cinema (YouTube)
Relax Rain (App)
The Relaxed Guy (YouTube)
Dream Musicas (YouTube)
Sleep Radio (App)
Free Books And Audio Books (App)
I recommend taking a hot bath with any oils, bath bombs or epsom salts beforehand since baths ease folks into a more relaxed state of mind. Also, Aromatherapy products are excellent for induced sleep. I hope these help you and you find a solution that works! I'm curious. Let me know! Goodnight and sleep tight.
I hope I'm not bothering you I have a few questions?
1. What's your favorite color?
2. Chocolate or coffee?
3. Why are your eyes purple?
4. Can we see your bedroom? If you don't want us to that's okay lol
5. Have you ever thought about getting married and having kids?
You're not bothering me at all, it's no problem really.
1). My favorite color is either gold or burgundy. Pick either.
2). Chocolate, of course. Believe it or not, I'm not a huge fan of coffee. It stains your teeth and can give you bad breath and anxiety. I don't understand the obsession with it, but to each their own.
3.) My eyes are in fact not purple, they're brown. Rather than color, I believe the purple tint you're seeing is due to reflectiveness, depth and dimension. All that science-y stuff. That's been a topic of confusion for quite some time.
4). I'll have to think about it. I'm not very fond of my privacy being invaded.
5). No, I've never thought about it. The Buckets are like family and my Oompa Loompas are like my children, honestly. I don't think I need anything more than that. I'm very content with the way things are now here at the factory. โบ๏ธ
Yeah, not interested! โ๏ธ๐
Mr. Wonka. I know you're busy baking with Miss Cocoa, but Alice still wants to come to the barbeque at your factory the weekend, she insists you unban her immediately and talk to her directly. There's just nothing I can do to convince her otherwise. I'm sorry
Oh...! ๐คญ
Hey, it turns out zere's vone dog I'm not afraid of. Rolly, from 101 Dalmatians. I can relate to him. - Augustus
You can relate to a dog?
I hope that you're still coming to the picnic this weekend?
But of course! I wouldn't miss it for the world, dear Edward. โบ๏ธ
Ooh, that reminds me! Do I need to bring anything? Cups, cake, drinks, chocolate?
I kinda already baked the cake, I hope you don't mind strawberry fudge whipple delight...topped with whipped cream, heh.
Hi! I love your chocolate. I wanna ask; what's your favorite time of day? Thanks!
Hi, I appreciate your kind words! โบ๏ธ
My favorite time of day is morning, because that's when I get to wake up and start the whole process of creating creative candy again, haha! And my brain works better in the morning than it does at night, by nightfall I'm beat.
๐ท๐ผ Send this to ten bloggers you think are wonderful. Keep the game going! (no pressure)๐ผ๐ท
Aww! Well you're just as sweet as sugar, aren't you? I'm happy to hear you enjoy my blog, dear!
Do you expect me to take your threats seriously? You throw tea parties with a little girl in a place called Wonderland.
The shade you be throwing at Alice, Mike, and Augustus on here and the way you be responding to your dad in the comments be KILLING MEEEE LMFAO YALL FUNNY AF ๐ญ๐ญ๐ญ๐ญ
And when mad hatter was yelling at you and Edward through your asks and you were like "oh..." I died. And Some girl said you get her wet and your dad said he hope they ain't a minor, please come get your dad. It's the chaos for me ๐๐๐
You know what they say, if you don't like my shade then step out of my shadow. That Alice is something, though. A drunk. Hmph.
As for my dad, unfortunately there isn't much I can do to deter his behavior.
Throwback to the worst day of my life. โบ๏ธ
No fair. Why am I the only one being blamed? He started it!

Good morning, early birds! And if you're not an early bird then that must make you a night owl. Either way, good morning and good afternoon and evening to all!
I wanna show you guys some behind the scenes things around the factory, one of my personal favorite festive rooms!
Let's take a peek inside the Winter Wonderland room, shall we? This is where myself and the Oompa Loompas have our winter parties and Secret Santa giveaways!
~WINTER WONDERLAND~
This beautiful area completely changes in decor every month with transformations in amazing landscaping, water features, suspended decor from the ceiling and awe-inspiring scenes throughout. But during the holiday season is when I believe it becomes the most gorgeous. With the large glass dome atop the area, you get fantastic scenery sightings inside during the day and the area is provided with wonderful lighting for nighttime viewing as well. Because we all know that nighttime is when everything beautiful sparkles. โจ
This 8 foot long train travels around the huge Christmas tree and is surrounded by hundreds of multi-colored Poinsettias. In one of the train cars, a digital camera faces forward and can see what the train sees as it travels around the track on a nearby television monitor! One of my trusty tech Oompa Loompas thought the camera would be a magnificent addition and I couldn't agree more! Isn't that genius?
Every month, you'll have a different theme from huge flower pots and fields of daisies during the spring to an amazing Asian theme during the Chinese New Year. Any time you are fortunate enough to stop by the factory, should Covid ever go away, you will be astounded at the beauty and creativity of this unique attraction! Let's not forget the beautiful rocking horse to the left, that does indeed work! Also, this is one of our tallest Christmas trees in the factory, although it may not look tall on camera, it's actually standing close to 24 feet! That's like six Oompa Loompas stacked on top of each other, ha.
These are leafless white Christmas trees, added decor to balance out the color scheme. We were going for a snowy and colorfully-bright Santa's Workshop North Pole theme. Though half of the Oompa Loompas wanted the theme to be Polar Express, with nothing but faux snow made from powdered sugar, elves and trains everywhere. But who knows? Maybe this year we'll vote again on themes or infuse the two!
This cute Polar bear is a remote controlled animatronic that was designed specifically for the Oompa Loompas to ride around the factory on. One of their most adorable ideas to date, in my opinion.
And what would a factory be without reindeer? This is a favorite statue of mine, it was a Rudolph model but unfortunately the glowing red nose had to be removed due to overheating, which started a small fire.
Oversized ornaments for an oversized tree, nothing more.
Ah, the Nutcracker! Yes, I almost forgot. This design was requested by Santa himself (yes, Santa is real, do NOT debate me) as he and Mrs. Clause love to visit the factory during Christmas time and feast with us. It's a joyous time, really. And we make sure to put it out for them every year.
~โขโขโข~
And that, people, brings us to the end of our little virtual tour! Unless I forgot something? Nope, I don't think I did. I hope you enjoyed! I must say, this has to be one of the most fun and cozy places in the factory, mostly because we spend so much time changing and decorating it throughout the year! And Christmas happens to be my favorite time of the year. Should I ever open my factory to the public again it's definitely one of the rooms I'll include in the next tour! Maybe I'll even do a Christmas tour and show off all the beautiful decorations in the factory.
But til then, see ya on the flip side!
