✨ Answering all your burning (but flame-free!) questions ✨

Okay besties, let’s talk wax melts. They’re cute, they’re colorful (have you SEEN the Fairy Nectar wax melt?!), and they make your space smell insanely good. Plus, they’re super affordable—so you can grab a bunch without breaking the bank.

But, like… how do you actually use a wax melt? Don’t worry, we’ve got you! Consider this your official LLA wax melt crash course. 💖

What Are Wax Melts?

Wax melts are little scented wax pieces that work just like candles—minus the wick. Instead of lighting them, you warm them up in a wax burner, and boom—your whole room smells amazing.

Why Use Wax Melts?

Besties, there are so many reasons to love wax melts!! 

• No open flames = safer around pets, little siblings, and your precious houseplants

• Budget-friendly = get more scents for less $$!

• Customizable = mix and match scents or use just a little for a light fragrance!

How to Use Wax Melts Like a Pro

You’ll need a wax melt burner to heat them up (don’t worry, we’ll drop our faves below 😉).

Step 1: Pop a wax melt into your burner. Want a light scent? Use half. Love a strong aroma? Go full melt—or even two!
Step 2: Turn on your burner (or light a tealight if it’s the non-electric kind).
Step 3: Enjoy your incredible-smelling space. 

The exact directions will vary based on the type of wax burner you have, so always read the directions carefully. Safety first, girlypops! 😘

Can I use wax melts to make my own candles?

Girly, you are not the first person to ask this question! Wax melts and candles are both made of wax (duh)  The wax we use for melts? It melts way faster and doesn’t stick to glass, so there’s no way to pop a wick in it! That’s why your bestie (aka us) recommends using them with a wax warmer for the best experience.

If you’re feeling ~creative~ and want to try making your own candle, try out our DIY Candle Kits! They have everything you need to customize your own scent and make the candle of your dreams! 😍
