Things I no longer apologise for.

Leaving early.

Not going in the first place.

Needing a full day to recover from two hours of socialising.

Talking to my dogs before I talk to people in the morning.

Having seventeen tabs open and knowing exactly what each one is for.

Buying another candle when I already have candles.

We get to an age where the apologies just... stop. And honestly it’s one of the best things about getting older.

Who’s with me?

What are you done apologising for? Tell me below.

When I started making candles, I was absolutely convinced I'd use essential oils.

I'm an aromatherapist. It felt like the obvious choice. The right choice.

So I tried.

First batch smelt incredible cold. Lit it, sat down with a cup of tea, waited. Nothing. The scent had burned off before I'd finished making the tea.

Second batch I used more. Lit it. It smelt like petrol.

That is not a candle anyone wants in their home.

Third attempt I finally got a scent that worked when burning. Then I worked out the cost per candle and nearly fell off my chair.

The truth is essential oils aren't designed for heat. They're volatile -- that's actually what makes them brilliant in a diffuser or a massage oil. But in a candle, that volatility works against you. The heat destroys the scent before it ever reaches the room.

Fragrance oils made specifically for candles are engineered to work with heat rather than against it. Mine are phthalate-free and paraben-free because I care about what you're actually breathing in your home.

I didn't switch because I stopped believing in essential oils.

I switched because I wanted your candle to still smell like something two hours after you lit it.

That felt more important than the story I'd planned to tell.

Have you ever bought a candle that smelt amazing in the shop and like nothing at home? That's what we're talking about. Questions below.

Signs you're one of my people.

You cancel plans and feel relief, not guilt.

You have a reading pile that you call a 'to-be-read list' and everyone else calls a 'cry for help.'

You've smelled a candle in a shop and thought 'why does this smell like a public toilet.'

You own more books than you'll realistically finish in this lifetime, and you're absolutely fine with that.

You've described a fictional man as 'husband material' without a hint of irony.

Your dog has better social skills than you.

If you're nodding along, you're exactly where you're supposed to be. 🕯️

If you’re looking for gifts that feel personal (without being overly sentimental), you’re in the right place.

Every candle is hand-poured by me in Surrey using vegan soy wax and premium fragrance oils, with labels designed to make someone smile before they’ve even lit the wick.

Whether you’re buying for the book lover, the introvert, your funniest friend, or treating yourself (because honestly, you’ve earned it), there’s a candle with their name all over it. Well… not literally. But it might feel like it.

Because the best gifts don’t just say “Happy Birthday.”

They say, “I saw this and thought of you.” 🤍

Which candle are you choosing first?

We've all boarded the Hot Mess Express at some point.

The forgotten shopping list.

The twenty browser tabs.

The coffee that's been reheated three times.

The "I'll do it tomorrow" pile.

That's exactly why I created this candle.

Not to celebrate having everything together.

To celebrate the women who somehow keep going anyway.

Because life's a little chaotic sometimes...
..but it can still smell amazing.

🚂 Be honest...

I asked ChatGPT what a Say It With Wax shopfront might look like…

And now I’m pretending I haven’t emotionally moved in.

Imagine it:
candles everywhere, books in the window, cosy lighting, funny signs outside, and me saying “just browsing is absolutely fine” while silently hoping you smell Book Boyfriend.

One day, maybe.

For now, Say It With Wax is still being built one candle, one label and one slightly chaotic idea at a time.

But if this shop ever exists, I’m putting a sign outside that says:

Candles that speak louder than your group chat.

Which one is your favourite?

I've realised the people who seem to find Say It With Wax all have a few things in common...

They love books.

They love dogs.

They appreciate a good candle.

They're thoughtful gift givers.

And they're usually running on about 17% social battery.

So this one's for my people.

Tell me... which slide is the most accurate? 👇

Which member of the Say It With Wax team are you? 🐾

Every successful candle business needs a management team.

Mine just happens to consist of three dogs.

🐾 Lucy – likes peace, routine, and believes everyone should follow the rules.

🐾 Frankie – makes friends with absolutely everyone and occasionally creates chaos in the process.

🐾 Wilf – dreams of adventure, loves birds, and is somehow terrified of flies.

Honestly, between the three of them, they cover most personality types.

So tell me...

Are you:

🐾 Lucy = Do Not Disturb

🐾 Frankie = Hot Mess Express

🐾 Wilf = Social Battery: 1%

I'm definitely a mixture of Lucy and Wilf depending on how much coffee I've had ☕😂

Every candle starts with my hands.
Every design starts with my mind.
But the best ones come from my heart.
