Just for a laugh!

Samples!

Little post today!

I was feeling creative and happend to cross paths with some cute atomizer bottles on my shopping day....

Made some Layers By Scentsy body spray samples!

I was just trying them out to see how well they worked before I went and bought a ton, so I made 20 samples to see how they work out!

I have them available right now in Happy Go Lucky, Awakening and of course for my fellas Shaka

I make scentsy wax samples all the time, but I can't express enough how much I love the Layers line!

So I have been trying to come up with some easy sample ideas that are not only cost effective but also contain enough of a sample to actually be able to use!

Some other samples I've come up with for the Layers line are for the body lotions, body wash, liquid laundry, washer whiffs, bath tablets, and hand creams!

I really wanted to do room sprays, but the new packaging for the "tin" bottles makes it difficult to get enough product out (without making a disaster of a mess)... So working on ideas for that still! 

I will keep you all posted with what I come up with! Lol

That's it for now though!

All my love,

FIRE PREVENTION & CANDLE VS. SCENTSY COMPARISON

LETS TALK SAFETY!!

 

 

 

 

DONT LET THIS BE YOU!!

 

 

I cant stress enough about the safety aspect of using the Scentsy Fragrance system. As a young mother, I used to stress over having lit candles in my home. As much as I loved the smell of them, the enjoyment aspect of having a lit candle was always overthrown by the risks of having that candle lit.

 

Candles are one of the top causes of house fires in Canada and the USA.

 

Statistics reveal that the most common causes of fire are:

• Leaving candles unattended.
• Falling asleep while a candle is lit.
• Using candles for light.
• Candles located too close to burnable objects.
• Candles knocked over by children, pets or sudden drafts.

When you use traditional flame candles, as much as you try to prevent accidents from happening, often times things can be out of your control.

Did you know that by law:

There are no legal standards or regulations for candles, including their make, design, safety features, location or use

Candles are not tested by a testing agency for safety before they are put on the market for you to buy

 

This means that the even the big name candle manufactures do not have to take precautions for the safety aspect of their product. Candles are a USE AT YOUR OWN RISK product.

 

 

Although Candles provide great warmth and ambiance to any home, it is easy to forget that such a calming artifact is an open flame that can reach 1,400 °C. 

 

 

SO, SERIOUSLY... DITCH THE WICK!!

 

 

 

 

Scentsy fragrance prides themselves on the safety aspect of their system. Not only do you NOT have to remember to turn your warmers off, you can feel safe leaving them on 24/7! I, personally, have a warmer right in my daughters room! You can feel safe, and sleep tight at night with these products. They do go through a process to ensure their safety, and back up their products.

 

The warmers use a low-watt light bulb to gently and slowly melt the Scentsy wax. They also do not get hot enough to melt the wax to the point that it could hurt anyone. The wax is also much safer than your typical hard wax found in regular candles. It is a food-grade paraffin wax that does not emit any smoke, soot, or toxins into the air.

 

Traditional candle wax will melt away, and the wax actually evaporates into the air, which is harmful for your lungs over time. The soot also, if placed close to walls (for example, when they are on sconces on walls or on a shelf/table) will leave black soot all over the place. You may not notice at first, but over time if the candle is not repositioned, you will see the soot damage on your personal belongings (as shown in photo below). Scentsy wax does not evaporate into the air. The scent will be warmed and will fill the room from the oils in the wax, but will not dissipate. Your scent will eventually run out, and you will be left with a soft wax that is no longer scented. You simply dispose of this wax, and place a new cube into your warmer.

 

 

 

 

PRICE COMPARISON

 

Okay, so now that you know the fire safety side of Scentsy Fragrance, lets talk about the amount of money you "burn" by purchasing candles. (PRICES STATED BELOW ARE IN CANADIAN)

 

SCENTSY: You will have a one time cost for a warmer, whichever you may choose.

One Scentsy Bar costs $6

Scentsy Combine & Safe - Buy 5 Bars, Get One FREE is $30

You with me so far? ... 6 Bars = $30

Each bar has an estimated warming time of about 80 hours or more (some fragrances are stronger and can last up to 100+ hours)

So... 6 Bars X 80 Hours (I will use the minimum warm time) = 480 hours of warm time

So lets just give a life example... I currently use about 3 Bars Per week (maybe even less depending on what Scent it is) for 3 large warmers in my house.

3 Bars X 52 Weeks = 156 Bars

156 Bars divided by 6 (the buy 5, get one free deal) = 26 Sets Of 6 Bars @ $30 = $780 PER YEAR

 

BRAND NAME JAR CANDLE:

One Medium Name Brand Jar Candle Costs $25
6 Medium Jar Candles Cost $150
Each Medium Jar Candle has an estimated burn time of about 45-60 hours
So... 6 Candles X 60 (I will even be nice and use their max time) = 360 hours of warm time

 

So lets put this into the same Scenario as I stated above.....

Lets just say I went through 3 candles per week (if I were able to have more than one lit in my home and could be in 3 places at once to monitor them)
3 Candles X $25 = $75/week X 52 Weeks = $3900 PER YEAR

 

TOTAL DIFFERENCE: $3900 - $780 = $3120 SAVINGS PER YEAR!

 

Not to mention the fact that once you purchase a jar candle, you are stuck with that one fragrance until it burns out and evaporates.

With Scentsy, I can change my mind as often as I'd like. If a scent isn't worn out yet, I can pour it back into its original container, and reuse it again! Then I just pop in a different cube from another Scentsy and VOILLA... I can change my mind as often as I change my clothes!! lol

 

The worst case scenario with using Scentsy, is that wax spills

 

SO WHAT ARE YOU ALL WAITING FOR??

A SAFE AND COST EFFECTIVE ALTERNATIVE TO CANDLES!

 



 

 

 



 









 

FRAGRANCE FRIDAY

My pick for this Friday is from the Spring & Summer collection. It is a new Scentsy fragrance out this season!

CLEAN IT UP!

THE BEST WAYS TO CLEAN YOUR WARMERS

 

 

 

There are several ways that you can clean your warmers, and all of them work just as well as one another. I just have found ways that I find work easiest for myself.

 

IF YOUR WAX IS FULLY MELTED:

 

My favourite method is just by simply using paper towel to soak up old unscented wax, and wipe the dish clean. This works the best for me, especially with plug in warmers.

 

You may find that with plug in warmers, because they do not have a removable dish, if you try and unplug the warmer while the wax is still melted, it causes more of a spilling hazard.

 

Simply break off a piece of paper towel, and hold it in the dish, it will soak up the wax, and then use a second piece of paper towel to wipe the dish clean.

 

IF YOUR WAX IS SOFT BUT NOT COMPLETELY MELTED:

 

Use your Scentsy mini spatula! I offer these to my customers who place an order of $50 or more at no charge to them! They work great for removing "softened" wax. (As shown in the photo above).

If you'd like to receive your own mini spatula for cleaning your warmers, please contact me!

 

REMOVING SOLIDIFIED WAX:

 

If you wish to remove solidified wax from a warmer, simply use a DULL butter knife and score around the edges of the wax (follow the edge of the wax all the way around) and you will find that the wax will just pop out in one solid piece.

 

KEEP IN MIND THAT YOU ONLY WANT TO GET RID OF WAX THAT NO LONGER SMELLS!!

 

Always remember you can re-use your wax if it still has scent left. To reuse it, simply pour the remaining wax from the warmer BACK into its original container. It will re-solidify and you can re-use it again.

 

CLEANING LEFT OVER RESIDUE:

 

I have had a couple customers call me and question me as to what the "brownish" residue is in the bottom of their warmer, and why its there, and how to get rid of it.

 

This residue is caused by wax not being changed frequently enough. If you are like me and leave your warmers on 24/7 (because YES YOU CAN do this with Scentsy warmers), you will need to change your wax out a little bit more frequently than if you chose to turn a warmer on and off. I have found from personal experience that this residue occurs when uncented wax is left in the warmer for too long.

Its not a big deal, its not harming your warmer, it just causes the clean up to not be just a "wipe and your done"

What I do to remove it is simple... use the same methods as mentioned above to remove the wax. Then all I do is wipe it out as much as possible, and then spray some Eco-Friendly household all purpose cleaner in the dish and let it sit for 10 minutes or so, and then wipe it clean. (In our home we try to be as Eco-Friendly as possible with cleaners - my better half owns an Eco-Friendly cleaning company! Feel free to check them out as well!! www.mckeeclean.ca)

 

WAX ON THE BOTTOM OF MY WARMER DISH:

 

More often than not I find myself so overly excited to put in a new scent, or replace my current scent to have my house filled with my favourite aromas, that I tend to be slightly clumsy.

 

Sometimes I dump my wax into the trash can, or if I am reusing wax, back into the original container, and a drip of wax will flow over the side and go on the under part of my waming dish.

 

This is something you want to ensure that you clean properly. I say this because you have to picture what is going to happen if you put that dish back onto your warmer and begin to melt the wax... you run the risk of wax possibly dripping onto your light bulb and into the electrical components of your warmer.

 

Don't panic though, because again, Scentsy warmers (no matter the issue) are durable and easy to clean. What I do I try to soak up as much of the wax as possible with a paper towel, and then I soak it in really hot water, and then try to soak up more of the wax. I repeat this process (2-3 times) until the wax is completely removed from the bottom side of the dish.

SOLUTION! :)

"I DONT HAVE THE MONEY TO JOIN"

 

 

 

 

I can't tell you how many times I have been speaking to someone who is excited about the Scentsy opportunity, but then turn around and say that they don't want to, or are unable to put up front the cost of the starter kit.

 

As a supportive Scentsy Sponsor, my answer to this statement is simply, "ITS OKAY!!"

 

I still want to be able to provide the opportunity for everyone to start their Scentsy business off on the right foot, and don't want anyone to have to struggle to afford their starter kit!

 

My solution is very simple!

 

I HAVE EVERYTHING YOU NEED!!

 

If you are, for whatever your valid reason may be, are unable to pay for you starter kit up front, I will personally provide you with the tools and materials you need to host one heck of a party!

With my help, we will generate enough sales, that we can sign you up for your starter kit after the party, and your starter kit cost will already be covered in commission!

 

That way, you wont be out of that money, and already have a good start on your business! This will also help you earn the Shooting Star Enhancement kit (optional to purchase).

 

The starter kit costs $119 CAD, plus tax and shipping

 

Which although may sound like a lot, you get SOOOO many great things! You can see part of what you get in the photo below, but you also get a lot more business tools as well!

It's FRIDAY!

T.G.I.F

 

Its my favourite day of the week!! Not only because its the end of a busy work week, but its because my weekends are my dedicated Scentsy time!

I work my Scentsy business 24/7, however, weekends are when I find the most time for myself to be able to sit down, spread out, and truly focus on my customers. Its when I prepare for the week to come, with my short term goals, and its also when I look ahead and see where I am going towards my long term goals. What did I do this week that impacted my business in a positive way? Are there areas that I could improve upon?

 

 

With that being said, its also

 

FRAGRANCE FRIDAY!

I want to have everyone on board with me on this one! Let's help out the Starlight Children's Foundation by purchasing Roosevelt The Rabbit! $36.00 and includes one Scentsy Scent Pak of your choice! A small price to pay to put a ton of smiles on little faces!

Starlight Children's Foundation Canada is a charitable organization dedicated to bringing laughter, joy and hope back into the lives of children with serious illnesses.

For over 23 years, Starlight Children’s Foundation has been transforming the lives of Canadian children who live with serious illness and their families. What makes us unique is that we are there for the entire journey—from the emergency room to recovery.
While in hospital, Starlight provides distraction, entertainment and relief from the stress and boredom of hospitalization.

MARCH 2014

WHATS GOING ON MARCH 2014

CELEBRATING 10 YEARS OF SCENTSY

 

 

 

With the spring season upon us (I know it doesn't seem that way for my fellow Canadian's who are still suffering from the snow squalls and -30 weather) there are many things in March to be excited about!

 

I have to talk to you about the March 2014 Warmer Of The Month! Scentsy is celebrating 10 years in business, and as a special thank you to their loyal customers they are offering an amazing deal for the Warmer Of The Month.

 

It looks like this:

 

Commemorate a decade of Scentsy style with the simple and smooth Sleek White Warmer — a perfect backdrop to our custom 10-year anniversary Thank You Frame.

Now I know this doesn't seem all the EXCITING. After all, unless you are a Scentsy guru or a Scentsy Consultant, I know there may not be that many people excited to display a "SCENTSY" logo on their warmer.

BUT MY FRIENDS DO NOT LOOK PAST THIS!! The Scentsy "10 Years Of Thank You" frame is interchangeable!! You can use any of the gallery frames on this warmer to customize it to your liking!



THATS NOT ALL!!!

The most EXCITING part about the Warmer Of The Month, is that with every purchase of this warmer, you will also receive an additional FREE Scentsy warmer from Scentsy as a thank you gift from them (the free warmer will be chosen at random by Scentsy based on availability)



 

The Scent of The Month is also very nice! Its the perfect Scent to transition from winter to spring, in my opinion! Remember my post about the "5th Season". If not go back and check it out.

 

Soothing chamomile, lavender, and jasmine in sweet vanilla envelop like a warm embrace.

 

THE FREE WARMER SPECIAL IS ONLY AVAILABLE IN MARCH AS WELL!

 

 

 

 



 

 

SPRING / SUMMER 2014

However, with all of the excitement of the launch of this catalogue I wanted to point out my very favourite thing about it.

 

It has to be this little guy right here:

 

 

Meet Roosevelt the Rabbit! He is this seasons charitable cause product from Scentsy! I couldn't be happier about him! He is ADORABLE, and supports a great cause!

 

$7.50 from each sale of Roosevelt the Rabbit
will be donated to the Starlight Children's Foundation Charity!

 

Each Rabbit is $36.00 and comes with a Scentsy Scent Pak of your choice to put inside. I am challenging myself to share as many of these guys as possible with everyone I know to help support such a great charity!
