Scentsy TAG

Hey Scentsy Friends!!

There have been videos flying around YouTube with an Independent Scentsy Consultant TAG

Although I haven't yet done my video version of this (soon to come I promise!) I thought I cold still share with you my answers to the TAG questions :) 

Oh and by the way, you might be thinking that this is probably going to take longer to type out than it would have been to just do a video in the first place... And you're probably right... Lol 

The reason that I am doing this version now is because my Scentsy office is in shambles at the moment... In the middle of redoing my Scentsy space ... So I don't have a good place to film it at the moment! NEW OFFICE ARRIVES TOMORROW .... YAYYYYY!!

Anyway getting on with it lol

Question 1: What's in your Scentsy warmers right now?

Answer: my bedroom has Zen Garden, my upstairs bathroom has Lilacs & Violets, my daughters room has Newborn Nursery, my kitchen has Mochadoodle, my dining room/where my office is going has Mystery Man, my living room also has Mystery Man, and my downstairs bathroom has Simply Irresistible

Question 2: What is your all time favourite scent?

Answer: Wow this is a tough one.... Off the bat I want to say blueberry cheesecake because that's the first scent I ever smelled warming, but I have to say that my favourite is probably Happy Go Lucky

Question 3: How many warmers do you have?

Answer: Well I guess question 1 kind of gives this away... But my personal warmers that I use at home, I have 7... To make this answer a little more interesting I will tell you which warmers I currently am using... My bedroom has the Black Zebra Element, my upstairs bathroom has the Taro plug in, my daughters room has the Cupcake, my kitchen has Natures Haven, my office/dining room has the sleek black warmer that I received at Spring Sprint with the 10 years frame, my living room has the lue chevron, and my downstairs bathroom has the whoot plug in 

Question 4: What type of scents do you prefer?

Answer: Hmmm... I can't say I'm overly picky, I like a lot of scents... But if I had to pick I would probably say clean/fresh smells. Now, with that said my opinion on clean and fresh changes lol

Question 5: How long have you been an Independent Scentsy Consultant? OR When did you first discover Scentsy?

Answer: I guess I could answer both of these questions .. I became an Independent Scentsy Consultant at the end of October 2013... But I first discovered Scentsy at the beginning of 2013 at my friends house (which is also where I first smelt blueberry cheesecake)

Question 6: What is the first fragrance you ever warmed?

Answer: The first fragrance I ever warmed was Welcome Home because that's what I was sent in my starter kit :)

Question 7: What is your favourite bath and body/ Layers product?

Answer: My favourite bath & body product would be my daily duo of Sunkissed Citrus shower gel and body lotion... But my favourite Layers product is the Washer Whiffs and Liquid Laundry :) especially in black raspberry vanilla 

Question 8: Do you coordinate according to season?

Answer: Yes and No.... I generally don't change all of my warmers... I might change the one in my office to something seasonal, but other than that my warmers are my warmers and they stay where the are lol ... As far as scents go though, I suppose I do change them according to season.... I guess that's mainly because Scentsy puts out seasonal scents (spring&summer or fall&winter) for their catalogue seasons. So I typically have in my home what is currently available in the catalogue :) right now I have more floral scents and fruity scents... And in the fall and winter I generally have the more cozy scents (cinnamon and pumpkin etc)

Question 9: What scent would you like Scentsy to come out with?

Answer: Hmmmmm... Another tough one... They have everything lol... But I guess something that smells like barbecue haha... I mean if they can duplicate the scent of a tomato vine, or burnt rubber km sure they can get my house smelling like barbecued ribs haha

Question 10: which scents do you want back for good?

Answer: Eucalyptus... Hands down. Love it and so does everyone else I know! 

And that, Scentsy Friends is then end of the Scentsy TAG!!

I hope you enjoyed and if you do the Scentsy TAG email me your answers! I'd love to hear them!!

FRAGRANCE FRIDAY

APRIL 25, 2014

IT'S FRAGRANCE FRIDAY!

 

Okay... So I have been trying to do my Fragrance Friday's with the new Spring/Summer Scents that Scentsy has come up with for this catalogue season... but this week, I couldn't resist!!

This one is from the Romance Collection: No matter what sends thrills up your spine, you'll find the perfect fragrance to suit your mood in the Scentsy Romance collection.

 

 

HAPPY GO LUCKY

 

Available In:
Bar, Room Spray, Scent Circle, Travel Tin, Scent Pak
Shower Cream, Shower Gel, Hand Cream, Body Butter, Bath Tablets, Body Lotion, Hand Soap, Hand Sanitizer, and Body Spray.

 

My Personal Opinion:

 

So I have to say that I never actually had this one personally in bar form.... until now, and I have stocked up LOL. My first experience with Happy Go Lucky was in the body spray. It has become my personal Layers scent... I now use it in the body wash, body lotion, and body spray, as well has have it warming constantly in my main bathroom that I get ready every day in.

 

There's something about this scent that does truly make me feel happy, and for me, it sparks memories of such happy times from my childhood. I still cant quite pin point WHERE this memory is from, all I know is that I love it, and its now one of my personal favourites!

 

 

Anyway that's all for now!
Off to get ready for a co-workers wedding! Yay!

Fragrance Friday

"By The Sea"

 

WELCOME TO FRAGRANCE FRIDAY!

 

Every week I choose a Scentsy Fragrance to honor and to give my own personal thoughts and opinions on. The scents I choose are at random, and are something that I have personally experienced myself at home or at the office.

 

This week, Friday, April 18, 2014 - GOOD FRIDAY - I have chosen one of the scents from the Spring & Summer 2014 collection.

 

"Remember the carefree days of summers past and create new, radiant memories"

 

THIS WEEKS CHOICE IS:

 

BY THE SEA

 

 

This scent is available in Bar, Room Spray, and Scent Circle

 

 

MY PERSONAL OPINION:

 

I do have to say that typically my first choice for Scents when reading descriptions is not to choose something that's "outdoorsy" ... Although, I'm not 100% sure why LOL. I do have to say, that I enjoy this scent a lot. Its a very relaxing smell in my opinion, which is probably why I like it so much. Its fresh and doesn't exactly smell like the ocean, but it does remind me of vacation, so that's definltey a good thing, RIGHT? lol

 

 

 

Anyway,

Thats all for now!

 

Love always,

Fragrance Friday

Fragrance Friday

 

This Friday, April 11, 2014 I have chosen a Scent that I am officially OBSESSED with! It totally screams SUMMER and perhaps a delicious summer DRINK that I cannot wait to enjoy by the pool!

 

 

CHERRY LIMEADE

 

 

 

"Zesty key lime, sweet cherry, and juicy berry:
a delicious scent reminiscent of a soda fountain drink."

 

 

 

Available In: SCENTSY BAR, ROOM SPRAY, SCENT CIRCLE, and SCENT PAK

 

  

My Scentsational Opinion:

This scent is perfect for the summer, its fruity and smells juicy, if that's even possible. Its not overly potent with the cherry, which is good for my tastes, because I'm not the Cherry's number one fan. But THIS... THIS is perfectly balanced with the lime and the berries! This scent seriously makes me thirsty!

WEDDING SEASON!

WEDDING SEASON

It's fast approaching!

Scentsy Fragrance makes the perfect gifts!

 



How Long Does It Last?

How Long Does It Last?

 

The most frequently asked question I receive from customers (as well as newer consultants) is how long certain Scentsy Fragrance products last. I have come up with my own personal experience "rule-of-thumb" chart for the basics! :)

 



Fragrance Friday!

TGIF PEOPLE!!!

 

 

With the tease of warm weather we've had here, I am feeling like spring/summer is JUST AROUND THE CORNER!!

 

So, this week I tried out Pineapple Sorbet! and Oh Em Gee! LOVE THIS ONE!

 

 

 

 

Its: Sweet and tart, like a refreshing scoop of pineapple sorbet



Flyer Handouts

 

Hey!

So with however busy my life seems to get, I thoroughly enjoy running my Scentsy business! It almost feels like a hobby, rather than a job, and that's why I LOVE it!... a hobby that earns me an income??!! heck yes!!

 

I thought I'd share what I've been up to lately!

 

I have found a way to somewhat inexpensively (yet attractively) create mass flyer hand outs that are attracting attention to my business.

 

I use the following:

 

Product Lists - available for Independent Scentsy Consultants in the Scentsy Family Store.
 

 

They Look like this (photo shows both sides):

 

 

So I add my info onto the top, beside the Scentsy Fragrance logo (ALWAYS LABEL EVERYTHING YOU DO) and fold it into thirds.

 

 

Inside of that, I put my own personal flyer... something that I have come up with that explains Who I am, What Scentsy Fragrance is, How to Order, How to Host a Party and the host rewards, and a bit of information on Joining the Scentsy Family

 

So, that is printed on regular paper, and it is also folded into thirds.

 

Attached to my personal flyer is a wax sample... I found on amazon.ca (for $3.25) hard candy molds that enable to me to make 80 scent samples from one bar of wax.

 







 

Now, keep in mind, these samples are small, so it wouldn't be enough to warm in a warmer or anything, but it gives potential customers/recruits the chance to be able to smell and feel the product.

 

I typically use either the Scent of the Month, or I use something from the favourites collection (Such as French Lavender, or White Tea & Cactus).

 

The samples are put into little baggies (I get about 80 bags for $1 at the dollar store ... you can also find them in the jewelry section at wal mart, or your local craft store that sells jewelry making supplies.

 

I also have "Sample Cards" pre made.... Basically its a business card that has "Scentsy Sample" on it, with a line for me to write in the scent name, and then it has my information to contact me. This again, is an extra step that takes a bit of time, but having the sample name written on a card that someone can keep (just in case the sample goes missing) is great because they have my information, as well as the name of the scent!

 

So... The sample gets attached to the flyer, then the flyer goes inside the folded product list sheet, and then FINAL STEP... my Business card gets attached to the very front of that!

 

I know it seems like a huge process, but I am finding that the extra steps and effort that I put into this, the more of a response I have gotten.

 

So Final Product Looks Like This:

 



 

I make 250 of these at a time, it takes me about 2 hours

to complete this all (once I get in the swing of it! lol)

 

PS... I try to do this bi-weekly, if not that, then monthly :)

 

 

 

I had someone ask me how much it costs for me to do this.... The initial cost is a bit higher, because you would need the candy mold(s), the business cards, etc. which are all optional, of course.

 

 

So if I do the math on this and how much it costs me... it costs approx. $0.15 per flyer, plus the initial supplies.

Not tooooo shabbbyyyyy :)

That's it for now!!

Have a Scentsational Day!!

April 2014

APRIL 2014

 

 

 

With all of the excitement the warmer weather and sunshine is bringing, I feel like the Warmer Of The Month and Scent Of The Month are PERFECT for April!

 

Scentsy, Inc has done an amazing job with choosing the perfect scents to introduce each month, and they certainly have not disappointed this girl this month!

 

Now, I have had my April Scent Of The Month since mid March, and have attempted to contain my excitement until now!

 

 

 

 

WARMER OF THE MONTH

10 % OFF RIGHT NOW

 

April 2014's warmer of the month is called "Cherry Tree"

 

 

 

"Simple and subdued, Cherry Tree awakens memories of
spring festivals while triggering the promise of new life."

 

 

SCENT OF THE MONTH

 

April 2014's Scent Of The Month is called "Sugared Blooms"

 

"Soft petals fresh with morning dew, sweet berries touched with a
kiss of sugar evoke springtime to brighten your day."

 

 

 

My Scent Opinion:

 

If you want my personal opinion of Sugared Blooms, I do have to say, for a person who isn't overly fond of floral smells, I do LOVE this one. I has a hint of floral, but I feel as though the combination of the scent of fresh berries somewhat brings that strong floral scent down a notch.

 

When I first get my Scent Of The Month package, I always smell the scent before I read it's description. The only way I could describe this Scent was "MMMM IT SMELLS LIKE SPRING".

 

My daughter thought I was a little crazy, being five years old, she can't quite wrap her mind around how a season has its own smell... haha. She said "Mommy.... spring is not a scent"... Oh man... so of course the Scentsy Lady in me sprung into the "Scents Evoke Memories" type of conversation, and in the end my daughter understood.

 

I may have taken us smelling EVERY tester I have in stock, but she eventually got the idea. She would smell scents like... French Lavender from our favourites collection, and she would say "This smells like nanny's bed" - which was the perfect way for me to describe how the memory of cuddling nanny in her bed was evoked by the scent.

 

Of course, my mom, aka "NANNY" uses the Scentsy Layers laundry aids in French Lavender haha.

 

 

Anyway Scentsy Friends, I think that's all for now!!

Remember to always stay tuned and check back for updates!

 

 

Look for me on Facebook!

SPRING!!

SPRING IS IN THE AIR!!

 

 



Yes... EVEN IN CANADA!!

I was so excited to wake up this morning and the temperature was +5 outside! Time for us Canadians to bust out our t-shirts and shorts! haha

All joking aside though, I am really excited to be able to be outside and not shiver my buns off! Although, that silly weather man I always talk about has called for "flurries" tomorrow.... ugh. Oh well! The majority of my 10ft tall snow bank at the end of my driveway has melted... its probably only about 4-1/2 ft tall now! Which means I can see traffic coming and its not like playing a driveway version of chicken every time you leave the house!

 

There are many things to look forward to with the warmer weather, including the SMELL OF SPRING! - Check Out My "APRIL 2014" Post for the Scent and Warmer of the month!! Its amazing, and just screams SPRING!!

 

SPRING BUNDLE
$60 VALUE FOR ONLY $36

 

I have to post about this, because not only is it totally adorable, but its a GREAT DEAL! I have had people asking me a lot about this package, and it has gone over very well!
