I’ve been busy in the studio this week adding a new scent to my wax melt collection. This one is going to be really good for indulging yourself in some relaxation and self-care. Bliss.

Did you know – “Amethyst Crystals are said to relieve an individual from stress and strain and help balance your mood along with many other properties & aids with activating spiritual awareness.”

Well, now you do you may want to give my Amethyst & Lily wax melt a go.

The wax melts come in packs of 4 bars, and you can now choose each scent yourself. They are all vegan-friendly so go have a look and find your favs!

If you follow us on social media, you might have seen that I’ve recently been to Dubai (yep, still talking about it – it had been rescheduled 4 times, so let me off!) and it was everything we had imagined and more. Visited the top of the world’s tallest building? Done! Cocktails at the Armani Hotel? Yep that too. Sipping champers at the swim up bar? Couldn’t say no! Expo2020? We just had to. 

Anyway, I sidetrack, one of my most favorite fragrances in the whole world is Oud and it’s been used for centuries in the Middle East, India and South-East Asia. So while on holiday I visited the Perfume Souk and it was everything I wanted it to be, needless to say, I came home with enough Oud perfume to last me (and probably most of the North East!) a lifetime.  My most favourite was Rose and Oud, as I found it to be strong and musky but with floral top notes, keeping it light.  

As soon as I got home, the search was on to find the perfect oil and I managed to get my mitts on some.  I’m certain you’re going to love it just as much as I do. 

Aside from it’s gorgeous scent, the benefits of Oud in your home are just amazing. It is often associated with harmony, serenity of spirit and when used regularly, the removal of destructive and negative energies in the home.  It’s a highly effective aid for meditation, as it’s also known to enhance mental clarity. 

Hi – Happy Friday!  

I’ve been mega busy over the last few months working on giving my studio a proper little glow up.  When I started making my soy wax candles back in March last year, it was in my tiny tiny kitchen (cute fridge though, right?) and it was only a matter of time before my husband started divorce proceedings due to me getting wax EVERYWHERE and on everything.  

After weeks of trying to find a solution and scoping out potential studios, I stumbled across The John Marley Centre.  It’s the most stunning art deco building which used to be an old school. I instantly fell in love and it’s full of artist studios and other like-minded creatives (I felt like I’d come home!). This is the perfect place for me to make my vegan candles and not bother anybody!

I officially took the leap and got the keys on 9th July last year. I’ve never looked back and it’s been a slow and steady race trying to get it to where it is now. Below you will see what it looked like when I moved in, but scroll down to see what I’ve done with the place! ❤️  

AND JUST LOOK AT THE TRANSFORMATION! ⬇

I now have a gorgeous space to make my candles, pack all your lovely orders and sit and do my admin (and there’s A LOT of it to be done – those markets don’t organise themselves, sadly!) 

You’re now able to pop to my studio by appointment to come see the candles and in the coming months I’m looking forward to having open nights and making the most of the gorgeous common room – think of an evening with all your favourite candles, some fizz and some music, and you’re on the right track. 

Keep an eye out for Henry – the office pooch is usually sniffing about somewhere….

I’m so so lucky to have my own space, and it wouldn’t be possible without you lovely lot. SO thank you for all your ongoing support. It really does mean the world to me.  If you;’d like to make an appointment to drop by and sample my candles please use the contact form.

Have a great weekend!

For a little while I’ve been working on my new summer scents and  what screams Summer more than watermelon? 

Enjoy this warm-weather treat any time of the year! Our Single Wick Candle is made with 100% vegan soy wax and a high concentrate of sweet, juicy watermelon fragrance oil, which will fill any room.  Our candles burn for around 20-30 hours and this one really does smell good enough to eat! 

So Christmas is over already! How does it go so fast! 

We’re now in the bit in between where you don’t know the day or time or anything logical, however it’s proven a great time to get stuck into my studio and restock! 

Our Lavender soy wax candle has flown out over the last few weeks so I’m all fully restocked and ready to go again!

Wha’s more, I’m giving everyone a cheeky little 20% discount off all my candles until the end of January!

What a week we’ve had!

We sadly had to cancel our final market of the year as you beauties sold us out of EVERY SINGLE CANDLE.

It was a crazy busy weekend but we wouldn’t have it any other way! THANK YOU for your support over the last 9 months. We can’t wait to see what 2022 has in store for us, but we do know it’s going to be a belter!

Have a wonderful, rested Christmas and a fabulous New Year…here’s to 2022! 

Love, Ash xx

With Halloween out of the way (and what a lovely time we had with our Pumpkin Spice candles!), we now turn our sights to Christmas. Secretly in the background we’ve been planning our winter products that encompass everything Christmassy, and they’re the perfect candles for snuggly nights in.

So, here they are, our Christmas candles. Let me tell you a little about each one.
