This is me


Hello and nice to meet you!
My name is Mellisa and I am the creator and owner of Saltbox Scents! I am also a full time mom of 2 growing girls and a soul mate to one handsome devil named James. I work from home creating home scents,scented candles,scented tarts,home sprays and more. When I'm not making home scents, Im at my day job at a Medical Spa in the city. I live in a small town South of Boston.

              Me and my girls                                    James and me

I prefer the simple things in life and live a simple lifestyle.
On any given day, you could find me at the library,in a craft store,enjoying the outdoors with my family,sipping on an iced tea, playing the guitar, rummaging yard sales, street markets, local fairs,and making home scents.

I am what you would call a "moonlighter".  I get extremely mind busy after 10pm.
A few of my favorite things:
home scents
primitive shops
country vintage
shabby chic
candles
home made & hand made

Think Spring!! http://www.saltboxscents.etsy.com/

Scent-o-lo-gy & Mix-o-lo-gy

There are a huge number of mixologists out there in the world making drinks,perfumes,bath and body items,etc. and most of us have been self taught. This is where creativity begins..please read on!

Who comes up with these million dollar ideas like the liquid paper White out, or that tall mixed drink we call a  Long Island Iced Tea? People like you and I!!!!!

Here at Saltbox Scents we have fun with scents and home fragrance all the time. Its almost impossible to think inside the box when your mind is in a creative whirlwind. Here are a few tips on pairing the right two or three scents together for the perfect scent-sational marriage.

What do you want your product(s) to smell like?

Floral-characterized by its smooth,romantic and feminine nature
Chypre-characterized by its leathery,mossy,fresh nature
Oriental-characterized by its sensual,spicy and exotic nature
Citrus-characterized by its energizing,crisp and light nature
Foug'ere-characterized by its floral,fresh,herbaceous nature
Gourmand-characterized by its food-inspired and sweet nature
Fruity- characterized by its fresh and spicy nature
Aquatic-characterized by its fresh and light nature

Next, you be the mixologist and start creating!!
 Think things through, if you want to make a product that smells like Apple-Cinnamon use the list. 
Fruity family (apples)+  Oriental family (cinnamon spice) =Apple Cinnamon

I have large 1oz. refills in my shop that have already been mixed. You can purchase them at www.saltboxscents.etsy.com also I have FREE SAMPLES available so you can see how I have mixed my Saltbox Scents. I have 100+ sales and have only positive feedback.

I'd be interested in what you come up with or if you have any tips for others to follow.

Scent-fully yours,
Mellisa

We've done it with your help!!


Today in the Saltbox Scents shop we have hit 100 sales!!! This means we have made some great friends and long term customers. I would like to show some appreciation by giving you all the chance to experience Saltbox Scents AGAIN...for FREE!
 Thank you, Thank you!!!!


Short Saltbox Scents Story:
It all began with an idea and passion like many small business's but in my heart this was the right choice. Not too long ago I had picked up a book in the library about "Doing what you love".
Inside were pages of heart pumping,creative ideas.
This book definitely got my wheels spinning!
In this book, it asks:
What are the 3 things you love to do?
What are the 3 things you spend most of your time & money on?
I simply answered:
(3 things I love to do)
refresh and renew my home (cleaning)
make others feel good getting creative with paper, scents, natural elements (3 things I spend most my time and money on)
making incense and candles
mixing different scents
home goods for the family to enjoy!
Can you see the match?
Jumble these together and Saltbox Scents was born!
You too can use this strategy if you feel stuck.
Do I have BIG competition? Yes I have plenty of competition, but it doesn't matter. I am confident, happy and LOVE what I do. 

 If you are familiar with my shop you know I have FREE SAMPLES all the time, usually you can choose only 5 but, I will send you a set of ALL 15 as a warm thank you.
