Wax Melts vs. Candles: A Love Story I Didn’t See Coming

There’s a beautiful kind of disruption that happens when you think you know yourself. When you’ve found your rhythm, your ritual, your “this is me”… and then something new creeps in and quietly changes the game.

For me, that something was wax melts.

Now listen, candles have always been my thing. The flicker, the scent, the sacred pause. As a soul coach, writer, and artisan, candles are stitched into my daily life like prayer. They’re not just products I make, they're part of my wellness. Lighting a candle is how I ground myself. It’s how I mark the start of a writing session or transition into rest. The act of lighting that wick holds meaning.

So imagine my surprise when I stumbled across wax melts... by accident.

I was deep in a candlemaking rabbit hole, watching YouTube tutorials on fragrance loads and wick testing, when I noticed these little cubes being dropped into warmers with almost too much ease. The makers were calm, confident, and not a flame in sight. I was intrigued, but sceptical.

Still, curiosity won. I bought a wax warmer, added a liner, because if you know me, you know I’m not about that messy cleanup life, and tried one of my creations.

I wasn’t ready for what happened next.

The scent hit almost instantly. No waiting for a melt pool. No wick drama. Just full-bodied fragrance weaving its way through my space, turning the air into something that felt… luxurious. Quietly decadent.

And that was the moment I knew: wax melts had entered the conversation.

They’re quick. They’re clean. They’re powerful. And dare I say, they're a little addictive. I find myself reaching for them when I need to shift the energy fast. When I want to feel held, but I don’t have time to sit in a ceremony. They're my go-to before a coaching session, during deep writing flows, or on those chaotic mornings when I just need my space to feel like peace, even if only for a moment.

At first, I felt like I was cheating on my candles. Was I abandoning my beloved ritual for convenience?

But the truth is, it’s not a competition, it’s a vibe thing.

Candles are a whole mood. A slow burn. A sensual experience. They ask you to be present, to honour the flicker, to make space for stillness. They’re how I pray in silence.

Wax melts, on the other hand, are the efficient bestie. No drama, no flame, no waiting. Just vibe, on demand. They’ve got that instant gratification energy, and sometimes, that’s exactly what I need.

So, no, I haven't fallen out of love with candles. I’ve made room for something new. Both can exist. Both can serve. One isn’t better than the other; they just speak to different parts of me.

Some days call for soft flames and handwritten poems.  Other days call for an instant scent reset while I chase home education and business deadlines.

That’s the beauty of a well-lived life: you get to choose your rituals.

And today? I choose both.

So whether you’re team flame or team melt, or just curious about how to create more softness in your space, I see you. I honour your rhythm. And I’ll be here, whispering sacred encouragement through scent and story.
