My living room is littered with Scentsy orders!

 
 I must say that I love Scentsy warmers and scents.  When I get a box (or three) with all the things that I’ve ordered for customers, I get so excited to see what everyone likes!!  ‘Paws’ for pet-lovers, ‘Yukon’ for outdoorsy types, ‘Nature Haven’ for bird-lovers, ‘Angora’ for the elegant, ‘Tribeca’ for the contemporary, ‘Twinkle’ for babies . . . and it goes on and on!   

Anyway, I am obligated to open each warmer to make sure that the beloved UPS man didn’t get too rambunctious and break any of them!!  (I had that happen once, so now I check!)  And then there is the sniffing!  I have smelled all 80 plus scents over and over, but when the order comes, I still find myself sniffing!!  “Oh, ‘she’ ordered Mochadoodle!!  I remember her saying how much she likes flavored coffee!”  “Mmm . . . just like laundry dried in the sunshine!”  “Ooo, Christmas is coming!!”  It’s just amazing how scents can conjure up past memories!

For those of you who are unfamiliar with Scentsy (Yes, even though I love them, I think it is a corny name!) the best description I’ve heard yet is, “The scent of a candle; the safety of a nightlight.”  It is a ceramic warmer with a low wattage light bulb that warms specially formulated wax at a low enough temperature that won’t burn.  No soot, no evaporation, no burns if one becomes careless.  And best of all, every time I enter my house, I smile.  It smells so good!

So . . . I’ve had friends ask, “Do you make any money selling Scentsy?”  My answer is, “I would, but I tend to give warmers and scents away . . . to my kids, to fellow pastors’ wives (its clergy appreciation month, you know, and I appreciate their wives!), to the church office, to my husband for his office, to my friends, for baby showers . . .”  So, on one hand, I don’t make much money, but on the other I earn enough to give in a way I couldn’t otherwise!  So, YES, I make a bundle!!  J 

Next time,
