exciting news !

you know 4 weeks ago i said i was 2 weeks away from the new website being ready. well now it’s ready.

3 and a half months of blood, sweat and sitting in front of a screen tweaking the smallest things that nobody will probably care about anyway.

super pumped. these are the things i get excited about. so yeah, go check it out pls🙏

the shop got a little mini-makeover this week - check out what's new... >

1. reed diffusers - i teased the new look boxes a couple of weeks ago, and now they're all ready to go. we have new bottles (same 100ml capacity) to go with them and will make for a nice gift for someone (or yourself) (or your mum because mother's day is this sunday didn't you know??)

2. signature collection melts - new labels for these too. and you know how excited i get with my labels.

3. gorse melts - maybe the most requested product that i didn't have. i had so many questions; "do you do melts in the gorse?", "why don't you make gorse melts?" and i didn't really have any good answers to that, so here you go. gorse melts. more new labels. you're welcome.

4. scottish collection melts - a bit like the gorse melts. "you should make melts in the other scents". yeah, fair enough, here you go. you're welcome, again. just kidding, i've wanted to make these for ages but just never got round to it. so if you've wanted to try those 4 scents without committing to a candle or a diffuser, try the melts.

so there you go. the shop's looking good and you should totally come in and buy that present for your mum that you haven't already got. or just come and just have a smell for yourself. i'll be here either way!
