Scentsy makes a "Scent" sational gift!

Spring and Summer present many gift giving opportunities. Consider giving Scentsy as a gift for the following occasions!



* Easter (April 24th)- Scentsy Buddies make a great addition to any child’s Easter Basket. There are six adorable buddies to choose from. While you are at it, try the new “Jumpin’ Jelly ...Bean” scent. It will make your home smell Hippity Hoppity Good!
* Teacher Appreciation Day (May 3rd)- Show your appreciation to that special teacher that has touched yours or your child’s life with a Mid-Size “ABC” warmer and a Scentsy Bar of “Red Candy Apple.”
* Mother’s Day (May 8th) - Surprise the “Mum” in your life with a beautiful Scentsy Warmer and a Scentsy Bar of the new scent “Mums and Marigolds.” Mom can enjoy her “flowers” all year long!
* Graduation (May/June)- Scentsy is a great gift for those who are college-bound! Many dorms and apartments will not allow candles or hot plates because of the fire hazards. Pick out a Scentsy warmer and some Scentsy bars for the new graduate to take to college with them…we all know their dorm rooms could probably use it!
* Memorial Day (May 30th)- Do you know someone who has served or is currently serving in the U.S. Military? Check out our Military Collection!
* Father’s Day (June 19th)- Maybe Dad is or isn’t a “Sharp Dressed Man,” but he is sure to love the scents in our “Scentsy Man” category! If candles aren’t his thing, how about a Scent Circle for his car, a Room Spray for his office, a Scent Pak for his gym bag, or a Travel Tin to take on trips with him?
* House Warming- Give a new homeowner a SAFE way to make their new home smell great! There are many warmers and scents to choose from in our Spring/Summer 2011 catalog.
* Anniversaries/Bridal Showers- We are officially in the season of weddings and anniversaries. Give the Bride and Groom one of the “Do it Yourself” Scentsy warmers with a “Wedded Bliss” Theme Pack. Or, better yet, you could customize the warmer with their wedding date and then gift it!
* Baby Showers- Our Mid-size “Nursery Collection” warmers and the “Newborn Nursery” scent are the perfect gift for expecting parents. Don’t forget to include a Scent Pak in the “Newborn Nursery” scent. They are great for putting under the diaper pail liner!
* Birthdays- It’s always a great idea to have a few extra Scentsy warmers and Scentsy bars on hand for last minute birthday gifts. Share your favorite Scentsy scents with your friends and family on their special day!

All of these occasions also present great opportunities to HOST a Scentsy Party and earn FREE and Half-Priced Scentsy Products. Contact me to find out more details and/or to book your party today!

Scentsy doesn't feel like work

I turned in two awesome Scentsy orders on Sunday. One was from a home show Saturday at the home of a good friend. It was a small crowd, but she did very well and walked away with some cool FREE stuff. The same day, another friend turned in an order from a basket party. Her order total was the biggest I've turned in so far.

Exciting!

She tells me it would've been a lot bigger if she'd actually worked at it. She said, "I didn't even do anything."

I'm telling you, selling Scentsy doesn't seem like work. Even if the products didn't sell themselves, the whole process is so simple and easy, it feels more like a party than work. After turning in my orders and figuring up how much money I made over the weekend, I told my husband I almost felt guilty for getting paid for this.

Even if you're not a party person--I'm not--or have never direct sold anything--I hadn't--or don't have a huge established support system that will buy whatever you sell--I don't--you can be a success in this business.

I'd love to have you join my team. Check out my website and consider how you can change your life and have a great time doing it.

Tips & Tricks to Stop Binging

The purpose of this blog isn't only to bring Scentsy to your attention, but also about my life during my Scentsy journey. One of the things on my mind a lot these days is--as often the case with women--my weight. I've never met a woman who doesn't think about her weight at least once in a while, usually daily. We wonder if we look okay in this outfit or if that one still fits or if we should wear this pair of jeans to the party since we're going to eat too much and the jeans will be tight and uncomfortable by the end of the evening.

Come on. Be honest. We think about it. We might even obsess about it.

Found these tips and tricks on Spark People this morning and thought I'd share them here.

1. 30-second savor trick. My sister did this one on Weight Watchers. Put a bite of something really tempting and yummy in your mouth and keep it there for 30 seconds. The idea is after 30 seconds you'll enjoy the flavor and sensation so much that one bite is enough to satisfy. My sister would savor a few moments and then spit it out. I always end up chewing and swallowing, but maybe you have more discipline than me.

2. Sip green tea. Okay, I know this is really supposed to work and green tea is awesome and makes you svelte and healthy, but it tastes nasty to me. I'd rather be fat and sickly than drink it. You'll have to try this one on your own and get back to me.

3. Eat a chunk of grapefruit before each meal. Grapefruit is supposed to lower insulin levels, helping you avoid the blood sugar spike that makes you crave goodies. That one probably works too. I eat grapefruit for breakfast sometimes, and I know it's good for me. Sadly, I'm not likely to carry it around with me to eat before each meal.

Basically, I'm back at square one as far as avoiding binges. I think whenever I want to mindlessly eat, I'll walk my dogs or do some jumping jacks next to my desk or brush my teeth. Sounds easier than those other tricks. But that's just me.

Back to work. Have a great day. And if you need Scentsy, would like to host a party, or join my team--that'd be awesome--I'm always here for you. Visit my website or shoot me a msg.
