As a mum of two, a nurse, and the owner of a small business, life is a constant balancing act. There are days when finding the motivation to keep going feels nearly impossible. Between caring for patients, caring for my children, and trying to maintain something of a personal life, it can be exhausting. But no matter how tired I am, there’s something deep inside that keeps pushing me forward: the dream of more freedom, the chance to build something that’s truly mine, and the passion to share the most incredible home fragrances with you.
My small business isn’t just a side hustle or a hobby; it’s a dream I’ve been trying to make a reality for almost 4 years. My passion is to create the best home fragrance experience, and I pour my heart into making every single wax melt. Each one is individually hand-poured, crafted with love, and designed to bring joy and comfort into your home. There’s something magical about the moment a fragrance fills a room, creating a sense of warmth and belonging. I want every customer to feel that magic.
Of course, there are many late nights involved. After putting my kids to bed, I often find myself working into the late night and sometimes early hours, perfecting my creations, packaging orders, and planning for the next big step. There’s no magic formula for balancing it all—sometimes, it’s sheer willpower. But when I see the smiles on my customers' faces or read the kind messages they leave about how much they love my highly scented wax melts, it reminds me why I do this. Those moments fuel me.
One of the greatest challenges I’ve faced as a small business owner is the time it takes to grow. Building a business isn’t something that happens overnight, and for me, social media has played a massive part in reaching new people. It’s been a learning curve, for sure! But Instagram, Facebook, and TikTok have given me a platform to connect with customers, share my process, and showcase the long-lasting fragrance that my best wax melts offer. It’s incredible to see how a single post can reach so many homes and bring my dream to life in ways I never imagined.
I’m always overwhelmed by the support I receive, not just from customers, but from family, friends, and even strangers who believe in what I’m doing. You all make such a difference, whether it’s by purchasing my strong scented wax melts, leaving a review, or simply sharing my posts. Your support is what keeps my business alive, and I’m deeply grateful for each and every one of you. Every order, every “like” on social media, and every word of encouragement keeps me going on the hardest days.
Sometimes, I dream of where this business will go. The idea of creating a life with more freedom, where I can be more present with my children while doing something I love, motivates me more than words can express. It’s not easy, and there are plenty of moments when I question whether I can keep going. But the dream of having something that’s mine—something that brings others happiness through long-lasting wax melts —is worth every challenge I face.
Thank you for believing in my passion and for choosing to bring my hand-poured creations into your home. You are the reason I keep going, even when it’s hard. Together, we’re making this dream a reality, one highly scented wax melt at a time.
Here’s to more late nights, strong coffee, and filling every home with warmth and love through the best home fragrance.
