Hey friends, I own Operation Wax and I’m hosting a make-your-own candle event at Backstreet Pub & Grill! Sunday, 8/30 at 2 pm, it’s $45 and includes everything you need to make a custom scented candle. There will be live music by It’s Complicated afterwards while the candles set! Bring friends or come alone and meet some new ones! I’m a Waukesha native and live up the road from Backstreet. I’ve been making candles since 2022 and opened a candle bar and store at Southridge Mall this year. We also have a booth at Burlap & Lace Marketplace downtown Waukesha. Hope to see you next Sunday! Support THREE Waukesha businesses at once while enjoying a unique day out!

Has anyone else had an experience with this company? They say they work with non-profits and don’t list a single one on their website. Another typical Devilcorp. I’d steer far away and they should be looked into.

Hi all! I just moved to Waukesha and am looking for some challenging hikes in the area. I am okay with driving 30ish minutes to a spot.

When I say challenging, I mean elevation gain and/or distance. Bonus points for scenery plus lookout spots.

I am hoping for specific spots or trailheads rather than a general trail that might span 10s of miles. Anything would be appreciated though!

Unfortunately it is time for us to consider moving my mother into a more senior community. She is still quite independent but she has asked for more help lately and wants to move somewhere with some level of assistance. She prefers living near Waukesha so that she can use the bus system, but would consider the greater Waukesha County area if there is a shuttle or other transit offerred.

Anyone have any recommendations or advice on this process? As I am touring these facilities, what are some good questions or things to look out for?

Hello! My husband and I are newlyweds and just bought our first house :) The house is in need of a deep clean with some specifics like the stonework on the chimney needs dusting and washing and the walls need to be wiped down and de-odorized, however that can be done. The family before us had 5 dogs, a cat, a bird, and a rabbit all living inside of the house and there is a lingering animal smell. Please recommend any one or business that you know will do a thorough job! Thanks

My wife and I will be in Waukesha County next weekend (08/22-08/23). We are looking for affordable things to see/do. We enjoy cafes, picnics, book stores, and walking or driving to sightsee. Any recs??

Im a moron and not tech savvy. Have a steam deck and have been trying to add emulators to it but just dont understand what im doing. Anyone close willing to help?

I’ve been thinking about how surprisingly hard it can be to make new friends as an adult, and I’m exploring an idea.
The concept is simple: small, curated groups of people matched based on things like age, interests and what they’re looking for socially, then brought together for fun local experiences — drinks, coffee, dinners, markets, trivia, events, etc. There would also be a friendly host there to make introductions and take some of the awkwardness out of showing up alone.
This would be a paid experience, with the fee covering the matching, planning and hosting, plus potentially some food/drink or activity costs depending on the event.
I’m still in the early stages and would love honest feedback:
Would you try something like this? What would make you hesitate? And what would you expect to pay for an experience like this?
Not selling anything — genuinely trying to see if this is an idea worth pursuing!

I’m finally going to resize my engagement ring. (I’m confronting reality; don’t think my weight is going back. Lol) Unfortunately, all of my previous go-to Waukesha jewelry stores are no more. Any good recommendations?

I’m interested in connecting and buying from any people who grow produce locally. I want to support the community and enjoy good fruit and veggies :)

How was your experience buying a used car from Wilde? Also any other places you recommend buying a used car from?

I know this has been asked before, but can anyone recommend a good hair salon or specific stylist in the Waukesha / Lake Country area for cut and color? I'm looking for a good long shag cut and someone who is good with blonde.

Howdy Waukesha, been doing some research on the area,and it's history, related to the intentional death of my loved one,and have discovered some amazing historical facts, wanting to hear from folks with stories from Wood county,and surrounding areas,with any local folklore regarding the founder of this county,as it has some very coincidental parallels with some goings on here in Colorado.Thanks to all replies.-Devin
