What Is Soy Wax? Reading Behind The Bears: What it's like to work at a wax melt factory! 3 minutes Next 10 Reasons to Choose Wax Melts over Reed Diffusers

Welcome to Happy Wax! Did you know that all of our soy wax melts and candles are made at our factory in Hillsborough, North Carolina? We interviewed Randy, our superstar Warehouse Manager for a closer look into what it's like to work at Happy Wax!

 

"I live in the "Southern Part of Heaven" known as Chapel Hill, NC where I've been riding bikes, playing guitar or drums in local bands, and building community connections for over 32 years. I believe that a man's place is in the kitchen and I love teaching my 4 and 1 year old daughters how to make great food. My wife and I love world travel and have spent extensive time in Portugal, South Africa and Mexico."
 
What is your favorite Happy Wax scent?

Lemon Verbena. Reminds me of the citrus orchards in Florida I used to roam as a kid when visiting grandparents, and it's just the right amount of brightness on the nose.


What is your favorite Happy Wax warmer?
Outlet Warmer in Sage. Love the muted color and inconspicuous size, throws the perfect amount of scent in my bonus room (my critters - daughters and dogs - can make that space ripe!)


What is your favorite thing about the Happy Wax?
With 2 littles at home, I love that Happy Wax is all natural and flame free.


Any candle love?
I burn Cherry Blossom outside on the patio and the scent plays well with the natural smells of the woods that surround the space.


How would you describe the aroma of the factory?
Most days the aroma is a pleasant light fruity / floral blend of all of our scents.  But, when Vanilla Bean Latte candles are being poured....you can smell that goodness over everything else.


What is your favorite thing about your job?
Building the skills and confidence of the warehouse team members to ensure that they are always successful in all areas of distribution and production.  We have a small team capable of pulling off very big wins throughout the year, and I love to see everyone grow and show pride for all the great work they do.
