New Look, Same Heart: Welcome to the New Website!

Well, hey there, fancy seeing you here! Welcome to the brand new Wax & Lye website!

I’ve been quietly working away behind the scenes for a while now (okay, maybe not that quietly as there were a few coffee-fuelled late nights and mild meltdowns...), but the shiny new website is officially live, and I couldn’t be more excited to share it with you!

This upgrade isn’t just about a fresh coat of paint; it’s about making your experience smoother, easier, and way more fun. So let me give you the grand tour!

1: Easier to Explore

You asked, I listened! The new layout is cleaner, better organised, and easier to navigate. You’ll now find products grouped into magical little spaces like:

  • The Candle Bar – all things waxy and wonderful
  • The Soap Larder – from silky cold process to fun, themed bars
  • The Fragrance Shed – reed diffusers, wax melts and more
  • The Gift Shop – curated gift boxes and special treats
  • And plenty more whimsical little corners to discover!

Whether you’re shopping for yourself or someone else, everything’s easier to find (and prettier to look at).

2: Shop by Occasion, Scent, or Style

Shopping with Wax & Lye should feel like wandering through a cosy market stall or cute little farm shop (sigh, goals!), and that’s the vibe I’ve brought into the new setup. For example, you can now browse by:

  • Signature collections vs. limited editions
  • Seasonal highlights (hello, spooky soaps and Christmas candles!)
  • Subcategories like “Natural Bars,” “Mystery Boxes,” or “Wrapped & Ready” Gift Packs

No more endless scrolling. Just click, swoon, and add to cart.

3: Mobile Friendly, Because… Life

This one’s for my fellow multitaskers! The new website is fully mobile-optimised, so you can scroll, shop, AND sneak a treat for yourself while in bed, on the couch, or hiding from the kids in the pantry (no judgement here!)

4: Sign Up & Stay in the Loop

New launches, mystery boxes, exclusive deals - you’ll want to be first in line. Sign up for my email list to stay in the know and maybe even get a cheeky little discount or early access to special drops!

5: Still Handmade, Always Heartfelt

The heart of Wax & Lye hasn’t changed. Every soap, candle, and soak is still made by me, in small batches, with ingredients I’m proud of and scents I know you’ll love.

The only thing that’s changed? The experience! Hopefully, it’s now as beautiful and effortless as the products themselves (and as it's still early days, if you notice any issues, please let me know so I can fix them!)

Thanks for being here. Whether you’re new to Wax & Lye or have been here since the beginning, I’m so grateful to do this little thing I love and share it with you! Now go have a browse, take your time, and maybe treat yourself to something special. You deserve it! 💛
