I’m Dee Kelly, the proud creator of Melt In Essence.
As the year draws to a close, I find myself reflecting deeply on the incredible journey I’ve experienced. It’s been more than just creating these cherished melts; it’s been a path full of lessons and personal growth that have shaped me in unexpected ways.
Starting and growing a business is far from easy. It requires learning about everything from legal requirements to mastering the right equipment, all while continuously honing my craft. My decision to embark on this adventure came from a desire for self-development and a willingness to face new challenges. Although some obstacles along the way were unexpected, they were ones I chose, and each taught me invaluable lessons that have enriched my business journey.
Developing the twelve signature scents and matching goals has allowed me to highlight the aspects of life I want to nurture. I’ll admit, countless days and nights spent at my computer or perfecting my melts have sometimes left little room to fully immerse myself in those goals. Yet, the joy of creating has never waned; I’ve loved every moment of ensuring each melt embodies the very best quality. This year also gifted me the incredible experiences of traveling to Cuba and St. Lucia, soaking in the vibrant sights and sounds of these breathtaking places. Additionally, I had the thrill of bringing my business to life at my first craft fair in a local church hall, where sharing my ideas and connecting with others was exhilarating.
With three more craft fairs lined up before the year ends, I’m eager to showcase my creations in an even more festive holiday display. As 2024 winds down, I’m excited to look forward to what’s ahead in 2025. There’s so much more to come—new melts, fresh scents, and exciting products. Stay tuned and join me on this evolving adventure! Be sure to check out the upcoming Facebook group, or feel free to drop me a message and share your thoughts.
Thank you for being a part of Melt In Essence. Together, let's make each month a step towards a more balanced, fulfilling life.
Warm regards,
Dee Kelly
