I'll Follow My Nose, Wherever It Goes...

SO, I have just started to sell Scentsy.
What is Scentsy you ask?? Well! It is the most amazing thing to have hit your nostrils! It is wickless candles. Basically, you buy a warmer and the wax, and you get to melt the wax releasing the pleasant aroma throughout your house without having to worry about a flame (because there is no wick to light), or soot (because you don't have any flame). Until I came across Scentsy I didn't realize that lighting a candle (which I love to do) is not good for me. The soot from the burning wick fills the air, and can even ruin your walls (yuck)! Also with having my son (who is already 1) I don't worry about my candle tipping over and catching things on fire (once he gets bigger and is able to reach on top of the counters).
That is always a fear of mine, and it goes back to a childhood memory...
I had to be about 4 years old, and it was just after Christmas. My mother had the stove on (to either make tea or cook dinner), but she was in the bedroom my brother and I shared putting away our Christmas gifts. My 2 year old brother was playing with his new toy mop that he gotten for Christmas, while I played quietly in the living room under the tree. He had the mop head up, slung over his shoulders and "marched" around our small apartment. When he got to the kitchen, the head of the mop caught on fire from the stove, he saw the flames in the reflection of the glass door for the stereo, dropped his mop on the carpet and ran for his crib! My mother noticed his "odd" behavior and looked and she saw the reflection in the glass. She was able to put it out before it spread luckily, but had she not, it wouldn't have been a nice holiday.
Now that I am a mother I worry about things like that. I don't want to be paranoid, but at times I can't help it. Which is why I love Scentsy so much!
There are so many different fragrances! Not only do they have the warmers and the wax, but they have other things that do not need an electrical source. There are travel tins (which are GREAT for lockers), scent circles (perfect for your car), and Scent Buddies (stuffed animals) that you can put a scent pack into and they make your new cuddly friend smell delightful!
They also have a scent and warmer of the month every month! This month the scent is "Amber Roads" and the warmer is "Magellan". The scent has more of a manly-er tone, and it is very strong. I only use one cube in my warmer and it fills up my whole living room. You may be thinking "uhm, why a manly scent and warmer when its the month that Mother's Day falls on"? Well its simple! Amber Roads and Magellan came out in May for Father's Day (June).
IF anyone is interested in Scentsy take a look at my site. Not only can you buy from me online, but you can host a party (and get free things if "x" amount of product is sold and get discounted items as well), or come to one that I am having!
Check it out!
ALSO, I have samples of all the fragrances, if you live in the area you are more than welcome to stop on buy and take a whiff.... you never know where your nose might lead you!
