Candy Floss Wax Melts Coming Soon

These could be the best melts at South Shore Soap Company so far. Basically there is a formula to making melts if you want them to be long lasting in terms of scent and cuteness.

Sometimes melts look flaky or the added mica forms clumps. Whilst others may not notice, the flaws of badly made melts can have effects on the scent burning time. If you use parfum oil it has a combustion point so you must be careful. The melted wax can pop and bubble.

The best formula for good quality soy wax is to melt the wax to no higher than 90 degrees then add the colour. Let the wax cool to 70 degrees before adding the oil or parfum. Pour into moulds at 55 degrees.

These are Candy Floss Melts and I am seriously telling you they smell just beautiful. They are non toxic. Cruelty and allergen free.

And a good point to make is you do not need a license to make and sell melts. So when you see all these people banging on about their melts being compliant. All they have done is stick a warning label on the packet. But of course, It is necessary to do this as there are those with no common sense out there. Most of which can be found on sites like Facebook and Twitter for most of their time. No wonder the world is in a mess. I believe social media is a ‘social’ or ‘bulletin’ bit of kit and should not become a lifestyle that consumes hours of time each day. Either let everyone go on it or ban it all together. Erasing opinion only diverts it and all opinion is life.

Candy Floss Wax Melts coming soon to South Shore Soap Company. I do realise there is a lot of work ahead but life is not just about money and rivalry. It is a balance. All we need is a space, some crafty things, our favourite food, always Cafe Jazz (and a blog to treasure our best and worst moments). There’s enough problems in a day without looking for drama.

‘Disconnection’ by Tiffany Belle Harper (re-posted from last year …) Having a reflective day

Our minds have more information to share with ‘self’ than most tweets and FB personal posts can teach us. It’s all about where we focus the positive within.

I haven’t had an iPhone for years and I don’t miss what I don’t know. Try using a camera instead and set up other ways to share your passions.

If you are being emotionally attacked online, tell someone. Bullies tend to retreat when you have support. Nip it in the bud before it gets out of hand. Talk to a friend or tell your teacher or guardian. Together we can make the world a better place.

Spend time outdoors and look out for recreational groups in your community. Make ‘real’ friends and better ways to work and play.

When you use the internet try to be purposeful. Perhaps spend less time chatting and watch YouTube videos covering topics that interest you. You can learn so much this way too!

Set up a journal or blog and record your progress with your crafts and imagination combined. Find things that stimulate you and teach you new things to talk about with friends. Make online time beneficial.

Less is more. More community, more to share. 

No matter what age we are, we constantly have to find the right balance that works best for our well-being. To find people that we enjoy connecting with, that teach us with subjects that appeal.

We are stuck ‘nowhere’ we are fortunate to have the freedom of choice in most cases and should be thankful for this. There are many who are living incarceration without the little things we take for granted.

So be the change – It’s time for change!
