Do you love candles? I know I do! But
did you know that the normal candles which are made using paraffin wax create
toxins when burned? This was news to me, and that is why the day I learnt about
this I switched to melts.
I visited My Melts a couple of weeks
ago, and Stacey, the founder, gave me a brief summary of what makes her melts
different from the usual scented candle. Firstly, they are made from eco soy
wax which for one thing is healthier for both your health and the environment as
it is derived from natural vegetables while paraffin is said to contain
carcinogenic compounds which are released in the air that we breathe when
burnt. Surprising, I know and not in a good way!
Secondly, soy wax scents are stronger,
cleaner and more pleasant – Stacey makes sure to use the best ingredients
(which are organic and natural) for her clients as she told me that her aim is
to provide her customers with a product that she believes in and loves herself.
I’ve been burning the melts I chose
non-stop – Stacey has a wonderful variety for her customers to choose from, and
let me tell you, it’s not easy to choose – they all smell divine! The melts
come in the shape of a heart, split in two (although you have the option to buy
half), which you put at the top of a candle burner. This way the candle is not
burnt directly as the flame never touches the melt.
The scents range from identical copies
of beloved perfumes such as Chanel and Victoria Secret’s Love Spell, to vanilla
and coffee blends, fruity blends, floral ones and clean ones – and my favourite
‘out of the oven’ blends which make the house smell as if you have been baking
all day – coincidentally, I put on the Almond Bake melt and my dad thought that
he’d be walking in to find figolli ready, but it was the melt ha! I’ve also
been loving the Baby Powder melt from the clean range which is a subtle scent,
perfect for when you’re done cleaning and want something soothing yet not
overpowering!
On the other hand, at My Melts one also
finds ‘Aromatherapy blends’ in the form of a butterfly. There are 9 different
scents, each has a different purpose – Breathe Easy (which is safe for those
who suffer from asthma), Immune Booster, Mozzie Free, Lemon, Lavender &
Patchouli (for those who suffer from anxiety and stress - I adore this one), Erotica,
Lavender & Chamomile (which helps fight depression and insomnia), Citronella,
Eucalyptus (for chesty coughs and colds) and Eucalyptus & Peppermint (for
sinus relief and colds).
My Melts offers a wide variety of other
products related to essential oils and well-being including wardrobe fragrances amongst others. You can also purchase handmade
products in collaboration with local artisans including their custom-made My
Melts Burners.
I hope you enjoyed reading my latest post,
and that you took something out of it! Do check out My Melts as they do not
only smell absolutely amazing, but they’re also a healthier version of a
scented candle both for you and your loved ones and the environment.
Apart from their shop in Mosta, you
also have the option to purchase online from their website linked here.
Happy Mid-Week!
Love, Thereseanne x
