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.

Sunday – My Seagull – Crafting – Diary

Here’s a few pics taken with my phone of this week. The beach is now chaotically busy which to me is a shame if I am honest. The sea may no longer be blue and they are throwing a lot of rubbish on the sand which ends up in the ocean poisoning the wildlife and contaminating the water. Very sad about it. Keep Britain Tidy. Pick up your crap and dispose of it correctly. Percy is about. He is my gull. I hand reared him. Well actually one of my neighbours informed me Percy is female so hey ho. Have been working on a design venture for the future. It’s taken all my free time. I don’t know how I ever fitted it all in. What with the ongoing sporadic things going on and five pets. I turned myself blue by accident too and became quite unwell with it but I don’t want to talk about that. All I will say is always do some research before drinking anything.

Then my parents have been painting up their furniture and potted over 200 plants in 2 days. They’re both near 90 years of age (mid to late 80’s … I don’t know exactly). My eldest son is juicing and doing his garden so beautifully. And I have had a few lovely pics from friends – in particular Janet Alleyne who is an earth goddess. My neighbour Josie sent the one of the crab – the gulls left it on her doorstep. It was alive and healthy so she put him back on the beach. Nice thought tho from the gulls.

Focus on the positive. Focus on the love and find the good in others. It all comes back to you. Tiff. X

 

Busy Bee … by Tiffany Belle Harper

This week been here and there with things, it’s been beautiful so far – please continue happy vibes! I have crafted the sweetest little melts. I did not realise you can actually up-cycle used wax too if you keep to certain temperatures. So these are actually up-cycled melts! I have been oggling my prints, they were very affordable. With hospitality it is not always about expenditure … as things can so easily get damaged or lost, but more so just working with the colours and genres you like without worrying too much. Completely, madly, truly in love …is all I want to say right now! And happy birthday to the lovely Jeremy Corbyn – I am not savvy with politics these days – the news and media got me in a dark place which is not ideal with all the problems people already face in the real world … We hope your day is filled with love Jeremy, your family and nice food, your garden. Oh and I found a secret garden near Lytham where the two elderly volunteers gave me some mint so I made some mint sauce and then I made up yet more lemon barley water with pearl barley, honey and lemon. Been nesting aswell but more on that in a good few months.
