Scentsy Winner

Thanks all, for entering! We have a winner....

Congratulations, Mrs. Trewartha!!!

Scentsy Giveaway! *closed*

The other night, it was our turn to watch kids for our babysitting co-op (do you do one of these? It's FANTASTIC!), and I hadn't had much time at all to clean my home. In fact, the week had been so insane that I fear my house was beginning to look like an episode of Hoarders.

But, never fear. I had about an hour, which was enough to tidy up the main rooms and turn on my Scentsy candle warmer. I put a nice spice-scented sort of scent in there (Welcome Home perhaps?) and everyone that came by to drop off children commented on how nice my house smelled, and wanted to know what I had been baking.

My evil plan to cover up the fact that the dishes hadn't been done in about 2 days worked! Everyone thought of me as a wonderful housekeeper who baked yummy treats all day instead of the crazy woman that I actually am.

Okay. So maybe it didn't work that well, but my house sure did smell good! And surely nobody noticed the dirty dishes, right?

Now, I am always surprised that everyone in the world hasn't heard of Scentsy yet, because it is just so wonderful, but I know that there are some of you that might be new to hearing about the company. These are candle warmers with wax squares that are melted on the little tray on top. They smell fabulous, and you don't have to worry about the open flame at all, which is very nice. There are literally hundreds of scents to choose from, and every "scent-personality" is represented. I am so a bakery and spice kind of girl. And vanilla. I LOVE vanilla, too. My husband likes some of the cleaner scents--his favorite is one called Casablanca. But I admit I don't ever put it in unless he asks me to, because I am too busy enjoying my Pumpkin Roll, Honey Pear Cider and Sticky Cinnamon Bun scents. Mmmm.

I am also a huge fan of their room sprays, which come in all of the same scents the scent bars do. I have a covered front porch that gets pretty funky smelling sometimes, and I can't have a warmer out there because there isn't an outlet. But I can spray to my heart's content.  And I do.

Finally, one of the best things about Scentsy, according to this ridiculously aesthetic girl (I'm all about form before function: If it doesn't look good, I don't care how well it works, I won't use it), is that the warmers can be a part of your decor and they look great! Again, they have a warmer for every design personality and every room. I've got a rooster one for my dining room, which has lots of other rooster company. I have a music one for my office, because I am a musician and I think it's pretty. I have a Christmas one that I love. And I have a cute orange one for the girl's bathroom.

I also have one to give away. It's this totally cute "Jolly" Christmas warmer. Isn't it adorable?

Kristin Mabb is my amazing Scentsy gal, and she should be yours, too. She lives in Utah (soon to be Phoenix area--are you listening my AZ peeps?) but I've done a party through her all the way out here in Michigan, and I'll be doing another one in a couple months. She's great to work with, and she is generously giving away the Jolly warmer, along with a Christmas Cottage scent bar. The Christmas Cottage scent is a "cozy, inviting blend of Valencia oranges, raspberries, cloves, and spices," and it happens to be one of Kristin's favorites. (My favorite Christmas scent is Silver Bells.)

Scent-sational Giveaway!

I have always been somewhat obsessed with yummy smelling candles.  Especially in the fall.  I *need* to have a candle burning in my house and emitting some sort of bakery scent, so it seems like I've just been slaving away in the kitchen making all manner of cakes and pie.  Pumpkin is my favorite, but I love the spicy scents, too.

The problem with candles, though, is that they require flame.  And smoke.  And smoke makes my walls turn blackish because I burn the candles too often.  And then there's always the worry about housefires.  You can never be too careful.

That's why I love Scentsy.  I found Scentsy a couple years ago and I fell in love.  The warmers are pretty and fit right in with just about any decor because they have such a great selection.  I have three warmers currently (the rooster and the music warmers on this page and an orange plug-in warmer that matches my girls' bathroom), and will definitely buy a few more.  Every time I look in a catalog I see another warmer that I would love to have.  I've especially got my eye on a few of the holiday warmers.

And I really love the scents.  My personal favorites pretty much all come from the Bakery collection (pumpkin roll is my all time fave and I have a big huge giant brick of it...yum!), but there seems to be something for everyone: Floral, fruity, exotic, perfume-y and more.

Kristin Mabb, who is my Scentsy consultant, (who happens to live 2,000 miles away from me...proximity is definitely not required!) is giving one of my readers a $25.00 gift certificate to Scentsy.  To win, all you have to do is leave a comment on this post and tell me what your favorite candle scent is.  That's it!
