Evening all,
I have a little update for my loyal wax melt QUEENS,some of whom have been with me since day one...😍
I'd never thought I'd say this but the day has come when the side hustle is no more....I'm shutting shop🥺
As most of my customers who have been with me from the start will know, I started learning how to perfect wax melts in 2020, and used it as a way of busying myself & my mind when I lost a very dear close friend to breast cancer 🥺
I juggled lockdown with 3 children and a hub in the house 24/7, with a day job and wax melt making as my creative outlay, and loved it! Even roped them all in at one point with deliveries & a production line 😂
I wouldn't change a thing🥹
Fast forward to present day, I have a private group of loyal wax melt subscribers who have loved my products as much as I do, and for that loyal custom and enthusiasm of my work, I will be eternally grateful for.
Competition in the wax melt/candle world is fierce and social media post barely reach 3 people these days unless I'm posting content 24/7🤷....plus 'Karen' down the road sells 100 mini wax melts for a tenner don't you know? Without CLP labels or insurance 🤷🙄and all that jazz....I can't compete with that🤷🏼♀️I need to make it worth my while, as well as love what I do, and maybe without the 'day job' & 3 kids in toe I would come back bigger and better🤔🤷
My small my mighty business has achieved lots;
👑Supplied wholesale orders for two florists
👑Sold melts/sizzlers/fresheners in Beauty Salons
👑Attended and sold out in large craft markets
👑Held my own craft Christmas market locally to help promote small businesses.
👑Worked with local businesses to promote others on my monthly subscription boxes
👑Provided teacher gifts,birthday gifts, Christmas, mother's day & friendship boxes GALORE!
👑Created a virtual Christmas shopping Market with another local company to help people 'shop local' during lockdown 😍
And last but not least, I made those who bought from me happy each month when their beautiful smelling parcels arrived 😍
I'll still be making some melts/fresheners here and there for myself, I like my own product too much now😂....and if I have any spares of what I make every so often, I will update the page👌
Thank you all from the bottom of my heart to anyone that has ever bought from me😘
Much love Queens, I may return one day with a revamp of some sort🤔 (most of you know I've always loved a side hustle 😂🤷,Jack of all trades, master of none😬)
Haley 👑😘###
