I just want to say a huge **thank you** to everyone who visited my stall, bought something, stopped for a chat, or shared my stall with others over the weekend at nottingham 🌈🕯️
As some of you know, it's been a tough year. I've been recovering from two hip replacements, completed my, HNC, and I'm now just two weeks away from finishing my HND. I had just 10 days to create a whole new range of products for this event.
There have been tears, waxidents, and plenty of moments where I questioned whether I'd get everything finished. But seeing all your smiles and hearing your lovely comments has made every late night and every frustration completely worth it.
HellsSmells started as a lockdown hobby and has slowly grown into a little business that I'm incredibly proud of.
One of my favourite moments this weekend has been hearing people spot a candle or soap and say, It's me!" when they found their Pride flag. Those moments mean more to me than you'll ever know.
So, whether you bought a candle because you loved the fragrance, because it made you laugh, or simply because it represented you.... thank you.
I may make the products, but you guys, gals, and non-binary pals, are what make HellsSmells so special. ❤️🌈
Here's to the next event!
