The first candle I ever made was fucking awful.
I remember looking at it and thinking,
"Shame. Surely I can do better than that."
So I made a few more. We were in the heat of Rona, so I had plenty of time on my hands wasting my twenties away.
Next thing I knew, I was selling them out of the local Charcoal Chicken where I was working.
For the last five or so years, Melt Me Sweetly has been my little side piece while I studied and worked in mental health.
In the back of my mind, I'd always hoped I'd get the chance to grow it when I became a mum.
Now I'm on maternity leave with my first baby, Honey, and finally giving Melt Me Sweetly the love and attention I'd always imagined.
Turns out mat leave isn't exactly free time, so I'm fitting it in wherever I can.
Whether you've been here since the Charcoal Chicken days or you've just found Melt Me Sweetly, thank you for being here. I hope you find something that makes your home feel a little more like you.
