Important Update:

Hello to all my wonderful customers,

I want to start by saying I am always so grateful for everyone who has supported my business over the last seven years. 

The home fragrance industry has changed massively since I began making candles and melts. Supply prices are much higher, and the market is more saturated. 

The past 12–18 months have been very difficult for my business. The cost of living has made a massive impact on how people spend. The difference in sales from lockdown to now are huge. My personal circumstances have also changed during this time.

Pressure from all areas of my life have began to affect Starlight, which I’d hoped to avoid. But mentally, the toll has been began to become too much. I did contemplate that maybe it was the end of Starlight. 

After some discussion with my husband, we decided a change in how Starlight operates may be the answer. It would be a shame to give up after 7 years of hard work. 

So, things are going to be different, at least for the short term. 

The website will be essentially closed off during my making periods. I will be able to make without pressure of unfulfilled orders, waiting for certain oils to arrive to meet demand, and my making time can be managed alongside my other commitments. 

At the end of the month, all the stock I’ve made up will be put on the website and available to order. Those orders can then be fulfilled straight away, and the website can automatically put items out of stock. Once everything has sold, the making period can start again. I can change the scent list each month, I can add new and creative shapes, but most importantly, I can put the fun back into making. And take the pressure off myself. 

Full Moons will carry on as normal, and I expect this new way will have a positive effect on how efficiently the monthly boxes get made and shipped out too. 

Thank you for all your support. If you have any questions, please let me know in the comments or DM.
