Smelly update! 💌✨

As some of you might be aware of two things…
1) I haven’t done a candle making workshop this year 🥲
2) and I will be giving up my studio 💔

This year has been a bit of a brain year 😅 whereby life and my brain have taken their own route and been rebellious to my former expectations ! 😲

I was going to host a candle making workshop this week but silly me didn’t order wax in time and it is sold out from my regular suppliers, so that’s my sign 🥲💖

If people wish to buy Smellies for their loved ones you can catch me at the following events 🧚‍♀️
Thursday 11th at Queermas Night Market 6-10pm at ✨
Saturday 13th 12-8pm and Sunday 14th 11-4pm with the Christmas Market at 🎄🍄✨

If you can’t catch me at these Markets you can stock up on Smellies at and 💚

I will be off to Austria until the mid/end of April for my snow/adrenalin kick so if you wish to get your cruelty free aromatherapy fix then please pop me a message or I’ll catch you somewhere out there 😘😘😘😘😘😘

If you didn’t know - COSY SEASON IS UPON US 🍁🧘🐿️☕️🕯️🧡🛁😮‍💨🍂

We set the clocks back the other day - or maybe your really smart device did it automatically for you?! 🤯

Regardless, it definitely signals the time of year! 🗓️ Meaning you got to be resting up, being kind to yourself in these limited vitamin D days, and making time for me-time ❤️

Me-time for you might look like enjoying one of these aromatherapeutic massage candles pictured above 😍pouring it on yourself or allowing your loved one to gently massage the buttery beautiful mixture into your body 🥰

Give yourself grace, remember we weren’t biologically built to run in this capitalist crazy maze, and allow yourself moments to ground yourself and unwind ✨

And of course, the best way to do that is with a Nice Smelly Thing 😜🙌🏼

As always you can buy smellies at and in Nottingham but you can also get them delivered straight to your door 🎁

If you fancy making your own candles be sure to pop me a DM to reserve your place for upcoming workshops before the dates go live 🔥

the Smelly Sessions will be commencing again in November and the workshop dates will be out in the next days! So message me to reserve that shiiiiiii 😘😘😘😘

Big smelly kisses, Alice x

I lurveeeee when Smellies arrive safely 😝✨🧚‍♀️

If you are a creator, you will understand the fear of when you package up your hard work and hope for the best in its arrival to its new home! 🙏🏼 so that’s why it has delighted me so much that these Smellies arrived in one piece 🙌🏼 and with that they get their own post 🤩

Big thanks to for being so patient in awaiting on these refilled babies 💖 enjoy! 🥳

Hey Smelly Gang 💖🧚‍♀️

This is your reminder that you can get yourself some smellies anytime from 🙌🏼✨ which is the cutest art cafe nestled in Cobden Chambers, where the Bodega outdoor seating is!

It is the sweetest place to escape the hustle and bustle, grab a coffee and cake, and check out an array of art and small business magic 👀🔥

Here you can stock up on your Mix ‘n’ Match tea lights & wax melts, wine top tea lights, and tea cup candles! 🧚‍♀️

I also just wanted to post something to apologies that I have been soooo absent from this instagram this year and to say I haven’t forgotten about my lil smellies and the amazing supportive customers I have 💖💖💖💖💖💖💖 I have just very busy living and loving this wonderful world in the flesh and working on myself and my future 💖💖💖💖💖

I hope everyone is looking after and being kind to themselves, because you can’t pour from an empty cup 💖💖💖💖

MAKE THEM SMELLIES 🤪🔥

Smelly Session with today 3-8pm ‼️ at 📍

Shoutout to the boys for the lovely pics 📸 was a pleasure having you in the studio! 🥳

Come through today and bring an empty clean candle container to refill! 😎 or bring something fun and thrifted to reimagine into a candle! ✨️ or you could just bring a humble pesto jar 💚

I encourage you to go check out the awesome which is LITERALLY next door to my studio 😳

The Vintage Emporium is a treasure trove of vintage and antique goods, with so many cute tea cups, trinket dishes, and decorative bowls to discover, the candle making possibilities are endless! 🤯💥

It is open until 6pm, so pop by there before swinging through to da stu 👊

Where we will be mixing up pure essential oils and coconut wax 🥰 you will smell us before you see us! 👃

Remember, you can calculate the cost of your candle before if you're curious! 💸

1) Fill your container to the brim with water.
2) Measure the water in millimetres.
3) Take that measurement and multiply it by 0.04 and you will have your cost of the workshop

For example : 100ml x 0.04 = £4
(that is 4 shots of water)
