Home Crafted Candle Co Wax Melts

Whilst candles will forever be my no 1, a new little love affair has bloomed with wax melts once again. After following over on Insta I knew a purchase was going to be made imminently for some Home Crafted Candle Co Wax Melts. Born in 2020 this small business is in its infancy and was started in a little kitchen in Birmingham. Each wax melt bar is handmade using 100% soy wax, dried flowers, botanicals and the finest of fragrances. The packaging used is as much recycled and recyclable material as possible. Honestly what made me choose the wax melts over the…

I have too many candles, said no-one ever! Since my last post reviewing their taster pack, Golden Fords Candles has expanded into new fragrances, wax melts, and even reed diffusers.

Golden Fords Candles of Guildford – Tealight Taster Pack

Love a candle? Me too! The trouble with buying candles online without prior knowledge of them is that you haven’t the foggiest what the fragrances actually smell like.

Golden Fords Candles are based on a little farm on the doorstep of Chantry Woods. Here each candle they make is 100% natural using ethically sourced…

Scentsy Warmers and Bars

If you know me you know I love a candle or ten, it’s certainly a guilty pleasure and I have done a couple of reviews on the blog. During the current lockdown I have made a serious dent in my candle stocks, so when I was offered the chance to trial the Scentsy Warmers from Scents of Occasion for a few days I jumped at the chance.  Scentsy began with a simple idea, a safe, wickless alternative to scented candles. Their warmers use LED to melt specially formulated wax slowly and with no flame, soot, or wick it is a safe…

Queen of Tarts Snow Fairie Wax Melt Dupe

What would you say if I said you could have Snow Fairy all year round? Well you can… sort of! Queen of Tarts Snow Fairie melts are a dupe of the gorgeous fragrance that Lush do ever year in their Christmas products. Expect this time it comes in a wax melt form.  I went through a faze a few years back with wax melts but have since gravitated back to candles. That said when someone says Snow Fairy my ears prick up. Queen of Tarts has done exactly this with their Snow Fairie dupe and I cannot take any credit…
