Ive wrote and deleted this about three times scared to put this out theyre !
I’ve met so many wonderful people in the past few years , so I thought I would do a wee post about myself and how I started !
First of all my names Yvonne and I’m a mum to two beautiful kids
over the years my mental health has been up and down about 5 years ago I took a full breakdown , I’ve always been an anxious person but during this breakdown I found out I had a condition and that’s why my anxiety was so bad I was diagnosed with GAD , social anxiety and panic disorder and in turn i ended up agoraphobic, I didn’t leave my front door for months it was that extreme I was scared to answer my front door and was taking in shopping through a window ( felt logical at the time ) I started making as a wee hobby for a form of distraction some thing to do instead of staring at four walls , my friends asked me to make for them and they would cover the costsA year later I realised I was really creative and loved making cool unusual designs and I posted them online just to share and get feedback this at that time was the only interaction I was having with people as my anxiety attacks were that bad I was passing out with them , my circle got smaller and smaller as the anxiety got bigger and bigger , it messed with everything , self confidence , family life , and my mental health , I couldn’t even take my kids to school it was so debilitating , but through it all sharing my wax with people and meeting people who were also other waxers gave me a lifeline ,
Only recently did I have the guts to make a website , this year has been a whirlwind , I built the courage to do a market it was awful for three days before it all I did was cry I was so unsure of myself and had zero confidence fast forward to now it is becoming easier ! I still get so so nervous the hours now before it are my worst but it’s not days now
I’m in no way recovered but each time I do something it’s a win for me wether it be walk my dog alone or have a day at market and meet new people
Making wax is more than just a hobby for me it’s been the thing that has gave me confidence again helped me trust myself again I never ever thought I would live a normal life again but everytime I’m claiming back a piece of me and my kids are seeing me fight 
the guardian paper called me a while back asking to do a piece on my stuff but I refused , why ? Honestly Because I was scared , I know I still have a lot to work on but I’m hoping this gives someone hope , hope that one day the worst will be a distant memory ,

hope that nothing is permanent. This doesnt even touch the daily battles of the little things we take for granted but I wanted to share my story and hope it helps someone
This is for all youse warriors out theyre ! We’re stronger than we think
and of you find something you love reach for stars and go with it it could just be the thing that helps save you .Thank you every single

FAO The Labels Buyer,
Good Morning,
I hope you will allow me to introduce myself.
I’m Kaye, the Account Executive at Links Labels Ltd, I wanted to reach out to see if I could possibly interest you in viewing our labels, with the possibility of supplying Melts My Heart with any bespoke labelling needs you may have.
A sample pack of labels for Home Fragrances is also available if you would like me to send you one.
Competitive quotes are available on request and we aim to deliver any bespoke OTIF orders within 5-7 working days – we will strive to meet or beat your current suppliers pricing, while maintaining a high quality & service.
We also manufacture a huge range of self-adhesive labels from our dedicated facility in Lincolnshire, our capabilities extend far beyond standard label printing and include premium materials and embellishments as well as complex constructions such as peel & reveal labels.
We use top of the line equipment and manufacture high-quality labels quickly and efficiently; our standard turnaround time is 5-7 working days from artwork approval.
We hold ISO 9001, ISO 14001, FSC and BRCGS certifications so you can be sure of our competence and dedication to our environmental objectives.
Would it be possible to setup a time to discuss the labels that you are using and how we could assist? Or you can send me details via e mail and I will respond immediately.
Thank you for considering the opportunity.
Kind Regards
Kaye
