Small Business Saturday - B.Blissful

Every Saturday I will be featuring a small business I have bought from. This week it is B.Blissful

B.Blissful sell wax melts and are one of a couple of small businesses I have purchased melts from recently. I ordered a few different scents and have tried a few out already.

I think I have now discovered bakery scents are not for me, I ordered a couple of cookie type ones and I don't think I'll be trying them out. There is nothing wrong with these and the scents are great they just don't sit right with my nose so I don't think I'll try them. 
I have tried:

Herbal Help
This is amazing, it's a menthol melt which has been styled around the likes of a Vapour Rub. It's strong enough to break through a blocked nose but not so strong that it feels like your nose has been slathered with a vapour rub (which I worried it would be). I bought a small pot of buttons of this scent to try and I am ordering more this weekend because I love it. I don't just use it when I'm bunged up either I find it quite soothing when I'm stressed out so I've been using it for that too. I only use a little bit at a time for this one because I don't want the scent to last too long as once I've cleared the congestion I often want to change scent and I'd hate to waste this awesomeness.

Blueberry Cheesecake Ice Cream
I know I said I don't like bakery scents but this isn't overly bakery. I've only tried this one once and it was nice, not a favourite but a nice background scent. Fruity and refreshing, probably one I'll use when we have guests as it's not too powerful either. 

Bedtime Bath
This blew me away! I was sat on the sofa watching TV and ended up feeling odd one evening, after a while I realised I felt relaxed and because I don't often feel properly relaxed it had taken me off guard. The reason I'm telling you this? The reason I felt so relaxed is this scent, it's made to be similar to a baby bubble bath scent. I felt fluffy and bubbly and it made me pleasantly sleepy. The scent actually lasted about 24 hours which is amazing and I think in future I might use a smaller amount as it made me feel a little snoozy the next day. I have a few buttons left on this one but I will definitely be ordering more before I run out. 

Witches Brew
I am burning this at the moment. The Facebook page describes this as "A sweet juicy blackcurrant fragrance with hints of apple and raspberry refreshed by lemons and sweetened by vanilla" The blackcurrant is a lovely fruity scent which reminds me of a smoothie made mainly of blackcurrant rather than a cordial smell. It's a juicy smell which Sid says is summery, I think it's more early autumn warming smell which makes me think of jams and hedgerows. I'm not sure I'd call it a witchy smell but it's only a name, it smells lovely! One of my favourite fruity scents so far.

My truths about Self Employment

These days it seems self employment is becoming more and more common with the rise of online selling abilities, rep businesses and the 'Boss Babe' movement. I'm all for anything which makes people feel more empowered and able to handle their own business, no matter what size. I've been in this game for 6.5 years now, although much more so in the last 2 or 3 and I thought I'd share some of my thoughts and experiences on self employment. These are personal to me, relate to my business (small printing & craft business) and life, and are unfiltered, you may not agree with them but that's okay you don't need to. Do not expect help and advice; but don't assume people won't offer There is no sick pay or sick leave, if you aren't working, you aren't earning Not all businesses are the same, don't tell people how to run theirs It's okay to be jealous, just don't let it effect how you work 2 similar businesses do not have to b

Sober October

Now that October is over I can declare I didn't have any alcohol. I'm a pint of lager kind of girl rather than spirits most of the time and I don't go out very often so I wasn't drinking insane and unsafe amounts, I very rarely get more than a little tipsy. But throughout August and September I was having a couple of cans of lager every evening, it was basically "Roo's in bed, grab a drink and relax at last. Normally a crate of beer would last me month but instead it was lasting a week, it had become part of my routine and an essential part of winding down. Then we went on holiday and the fridge was kept well stocked, I ended up having a lot more to drink. I still wasn't getting drunk but I was drinking a lot more than is recommended albeit slowly throughout the day. So when I got home I decided my body needed a break! It was the 1st October and there were things on TV and social media suggesting Go Sober for October so I decided I'd do it. I also de

Not like Real Work

When I tell people I work 2 jobs or that I work 7 days they often say the same phrase after I've explained I run a craft business, that phrase is "but it's not like real work", Sometimes they follow it up with things like "because you're at home", "because you enjoy it" "because you work for yourself" etc etc and they're right! It's not like real work I don't get a day off, hell I barely even get an evening off I don't get to go home from work I work late into the evening when I have to (I just finished and it's past 10pm) I am ALWAYS thinking about work I'm not paid a wage, if people don't buy I don't get paid If people aren't happy with the product it costs me money I have no company There's no HR department There's no sick pay, holiday pay, time off There's next to no company benfits There's no salary or hourly wage There's no escaping the boss The list goe
