At Soapfullness, we are all about making the best handmade wax melts. Our Wax Melts are just divine. Made from Soy wax and beautiful fragrance oils, they are certainly going to hep any home smell amazing this winter.
As winter approaches it is likely that we will spend more time indoors. As the days get shorter and the nights get longer, with the unpredictable weather conditions many of us will retreat to spending more time indoors.
Smell is one of the most important senses that is often overlooked when it comes to self-care. Often your will read articles saying ‘burn a candle or wax melts’ for a self-care strategy, but why? What is the actual benefit of smell and self-care?
Smell can affect how we feel, how we process emotions, our mood and motivation to mention just a few affects that smell can have upon us.
At Soapfullness we are passionate about self-care. We know that it is one of the most important things that you can do for yourself.
Without self-care we can experience burn out, experience anxiety and depression, leave you feeling zapped of energy, to name but a few. It’s not to say that self-care is the perfect solution, but it can help keep the edge off things.
That is why we are passionate about handmaking beautiful products to support your self-care. Easy to use products which are affordable and very enjoyable is important to us.
Handmade wax melts are the perfect solution to making your time indoors much more enjoyable, as they are affordable and smell amazing; even our self-care candles are a great option to consider,
Why are Handmade Wax Melts perfect for Winter?
Handmade wax melts are perfect for winter because:
.1.
Money Matters
Self-care doesn’t need to be expensive or complicated. That’s why handmade wax melts are a perfect product to try.
Handmade wax melts are perfect as they are kind to the bank balance. Starting at just £3.50 for a handmade wax melt bar that can last up to 90 hours, isn’t bad value at all.
Handmade wax melts are strong smelling and long lasting, which can make the a justifiable cost. Handmade wax melts are cheaper than candles (though we do adore a beautiful self-care candle)
Wax melts are perfect affordable solution for uplifting the ambiance/vibe of any room.
.2.
It matters how long they last....
When you purchase handmade wax melts from Soapfullness, we want to give you product which is long lasting.
That’s why we say our handmade wax melt bars can provide up to 90 hours’ worth of enjoyment at an affordable cost.
When you come to use your handmade wax melts, simply snap off two squares from the wax melt bar and place into your wax melt burner dish and melt away (safely).
You can use the wax melts up to 4 hours at a time and please only use unscented 4 hour tealights. Anything more could become a potential fire hazard as wax melt burners are not made to withstand prolonged heat.
The great thing about handmade wax melts is that they can be remleted several times before the scent is fully burnt off. Each time that you do remelt your handmade wax melts, it is worth noting the the smell will become more subtle each time.
Wax melts don’t evaporate like candles do. Instead their fragrance just gets burnt off. Once the fragrance is fully burnt off, its time to change your wax melts.
Simply scoop the wax out of the wax melt dish and pop two new wax melts in. Please remember that if you are switching fragrances, to wash you wax melt dish out so that you don’t get any funky smells!
.3.
Variety Matters....
At Soapfullness we know that we are all different. We like different food, different books, different skin care, different drinks, etc. We understand that we are all unique and that we all have different likes and dislikes.
This applies to smell too. Whilst smell can have a profound affect upon our well-being. Smell can transform a space. You can instantly feel comfortable or uncomfotable based upon how it smells.
Some people adore the smell of strong incense, others find it overbearing and overwhelming. Some people adore the smell of a greasy cafe, others detest it. Some people adore the smell of lavender and others detest it.
Smell takes a direct route to the limbic system which is part of the brain which deals with emotion, memory and feelings. This is why smell may trigger feelings of fear or desire before you even become fully aware of what you are smelling.
Smell is personal and unique and we have done our best to make a collection of handmade wax melts that suits everones preferences.
We have created a collection that covers a variety of smell such as floral Daisy, the deep mysteriously beautiful smells of Alien, then clean and uplifting smell of Spring Awakening.
As we grow, so will our collection of handmade wax melts. We understand how important smell is to self-care, so we will endeavour to grow this affordable and lovely collection of wax melts.
