The Nostalgic Nose: Can I Mix Wax Melts to Create Custom Scents? Ways to make this Valentine’s Day Extra Special
It’s February—the month of love! Whether you're celebrating romance, friendship, or simply the joy of life, it’s the perfect time to show others how much you care. But how do you express your love?
What’s Your Love Language?
Gary Chapman, marriage counselor turned author, introduced the idea of the "Five Love Languages" in his bestselling book. He suggests that we each have a unique way of feeling loved, categorized as words of affirmation, gifts, acts of service, quality time, or physical touch.
But here’s the thing—do we really need just one love language to feel fulfilled? Some people, like me, might argue that we need a little bit of all five! Or perhaps, you might find that your love language is the one you feel is most lacking.
Can All Five Love Languages Be Found in One Moment?
I’ll never forget Valentine’s Day when my first long-term boyfriend finally gave me a kiss after 10 months of dating. Yes, 10 months! But when that kiss finally happened, it checked off all five of Chapman’s love languages:
Physical touch: Absolutely, a kiss says it all!
Words of affirmation: No words needed after that kiss—his actions spoke volumes.
Gifts: A dozen roses, so yes, definitely a gift.
Quality time: We shared a moment suspended in time.
Acts of service: That kiss helped me decide to continue dating him! (Okay, that may be a bit of a stretch as an act of service but we’ll just go with it 😉)
There are countless ways to show love, like when someone realizes that you surround yourself with the season’s essential oils or your favorite scent. These little gestures can create a meaningful atmosphere and enhance the feeling of being loved.
Essential Oils & Wax Melts: The Heartfelt Aromas of Love
Speaking of scents, have you ever wondered, "Can I mix wax melts to create custom scents?" The answer is yes! Creating your own custom fragrance blend by mixing wax melts is a great way to add a personal touch to your space, especially on a special occasion like Valentine’s Day. The beauty of wax melts is that you can blend different scents to match your mood, from floral notes like honeysuckle and jasmine orchid to the rich, warm smell of chocolate fudge or white chocolate truffle.
Why Wax Melts Make the Perfect Gift
Imagine filling your home with the scent of cherry noir or a chocolatey fragrance like Chocolate Lava Cake—both perfect for Valentine’s Day. Wax melts or tarts are a fun and versatile way to customize your home’s scent. You can experiment with blending different wax melts to create your ideal fragrance. And with products like Belle Aroma’s wax warmers and nitrile wax warmer cup protectors, cleanup is a breeze when switching out scents! Try these romantic recipes this Valentine’s Day:
