Happy Wax ~ All Natural Soy Wax Melt

  There is nothing I love more than a clean house and a fresh seasonal scent! I love to light candles and use wax melts to create a smell that matches my mood: seasonal, relaxing, energizing, you name it! You may or may not know that some types of candles and wax melts have artificial smells and chemicals added to them. I admit, I have used a candle for a fragrance I loved and ended up with a headache. I knew there had to be a better, cleaner way to enjoy the scents I love. Introducing Happy Wax!
