Scentsy's 2011 Spring Summer Catalog is Here

2011-03-16T06:30:00.000-07:00

Its a new season and time to try out new scents and products! This Spring/Summer catalog is absolutely amazing. Scentsy has done it again adding new scents, bringing back favorites and adding new collections to their warmer and plugin collections!

New Scents

Lots of new ones to choose from, but here are a few of my favorites from the new Spring/Summer catalog:

Honey, Do! - lush, ripe honeydew melon and cantaloupe, and a hit of garden mint.

Mum & Marigolds - the sunny scent of sumer marigold, rosy rhubarb, earthly cedar and musk.

Pomatini - pomegranate and grapefruit tonic, effervescent soda bubbles and fresh berries.

Tea Party - a secret garden of melon, quince, and chamomile, with black and white tea.

Luna - White floras, jasmine, sweet pea and freesia, juicy berries and sandalwood shimmer like moonlight.

New Warmers & Plugins

Scentsy has added new collections to mediums size warmers and full size warmers; in addition to a variety of new plugins! You will most likely find a few that will fit your home or office decor. Take a look at several of my favorites, such as:

English Ivy - Full size warmer decorated with vines and tendrils in shades of moss green meander around English Ivy's pedestal base, while vent holes form a whimsical pattern to mimic the ivy scroll.

Fizz - Full size warmer to add a contemporary flair to your room! A cool, modern design of circles on bone-finish procelain. Glows from within when lit.

Casbah - Full size warmer carefully crafted mosaic, featuring a mediterranean weave design in rich shades of blue.

Margot - Full size warmer. Lovely, delicate and romantic! Decorated with faux pearls and a glossy finish, makes this one an all time favorite.

Tea Rose - Plugin. Lovely and perfect for Spring! Shaped like a beautiful rose, in bone white finish.

Shasta Daisy - Plugin. Fun shaped like a daisy flower. A must have for this Spring/Summer season.

Wonky - Plugin. Blue with a white, modern pattern throughout. Make a fun plugin for your modern decor!

Scentsy Holiday Specials

2010-11-23T23:41:00.000-08:00

Shopping for Christmas can be quite an ordeal. Black Friday Sales at stores can actually turn into a nightmare! Besides the outrageous lines and traffic, having to wake up extremely early and be at local stores to fight a crowd of people is just not my thing!

If you are like me, and just hate the stress that holiday shopping brings along, shopping online for Scentsy discount packages is a terrific idea!

Besides who needs stress this Christmas season?

I invite you to take a look at these excellent deals. Candle warmers and candles are loved by almost everyone. Most people already own candles, but by introducing them to a Scentsy Wickless Candle System, you are providing them with the safest alternative in candles.

What exactly is a Scentsy Wickless Candle System? It's a highly decorative warmer that melts potent candle bars and operates with a light bulb. The system has an off & on switch, so you can leave it on as long as you want and turn off at your convenience. The melting point of the wax is safe! You can even stick your finger into the wax without the fear of getting burn. Scentsy products are safe for children and pets, because you never have to worry of an open flame in your home!

Scentsy Multipacks are available online and are designed to help you save money. You can even just combine several multipackages and then divide them into several gifts for your friends and family!

Take a look at Scentsy Multipacks at Lose The Wick.com from the convenience of your home. Online orders of $150 or more will ship for FREE, if shipped to one single location. Online orders can also ship to another address per your request for a small shipping charge!

If you have questions on Scentsy products, you can contact me directly from my website!

Happy Holidays!

Scentsy Wins First Rising Star Award

2009-06-17T14:40:00.001-07:00

MERIDIAN, Idaho (June 11, 2009) – The Direct Selling Association (DSA) recently presented its 2009 annual industry awards for outstanding achievement and honored Scentsy, Inc. with the first ever Rising Star Award at the DSA Annual Meeting in Washington, DC. The Rising Star Award is presented annually to one up-and-coming direct selling company that has dedicated itself to achieving a high standard of excellence in business operations.

Scentsy opened its doors in 2004 with the idea of offering a safe, wickless alternative to burning candles in homes and offices. Scentsy experienced record growth as customers saw its decorative warmers as not just a safer alternative but as a better alternative. Scentsy’s success can be attributed to a simple and valuable product line sold through independent consultants at home parties.
“We always strive at Scentsy to bring value to customers by creating and selling high-quality products that warm the heart, enliven the senses, and inspire the soul,” said Orville Thompson, Scentsy CEO and co-owner. “We are honored that the DSA awards committee has recognized our singular focus on quality and value in the midst of tremendous growth.”

“This award further validates the success we have experienced,” said Heidi Thompson, Executive Vice President and co-owner. “But our success is merely a byproduct of passionate customers and consultants, and an outstanding corporate team, who have shown great enthusiasm for our products and parties.”
Each year the Direct Selling Association gathers for its annual meeting and hosts its annual Awards Banquet. The DSA presented awards in the areas of technology innovation, partnership, salesforce development and program excellence. The five companies honored during the association’s annual meeting were ACN Inc., Mary Kay Inc., Oxyfresh.com, Scentsy Inc. and ServiceQuest. Oxyfresh.com, ServiceQuest and Scentsy are all based in Idaho.

About Scentsy
Scentsy, Inc. is a rapidly growing party plan company offering a variety of scented, wickless candles heated in decorative ceramic warmers, and other fragrance products. The simplicity and value of its products provide a better alternative to burning wicked candles in the home and office. What began in 2004 in a 40-foot ocean container on a small Idaho sheep farm is now a national company growing 300 percent annually with more than 35,000 independent consultants in the United States, Puerto Rico and Guam. Visit us at Scentsy.com.

About the Direct Selling Association
DSA is the national trade association of the leading firms that manufacture and distribute goods and services sold directly to consumers. Among its more than 250 active and pending members are companies selling both via a party-plan method and in the traditional person-to-person style. In 2007, U.S. direct sales were more than $30.8 billion with more than 15 million direct sellers nationwide. The vast majority are independent business people – micro-entrepreneurs – whose purpose is to sell the product/service of the company they voluntarily choose to represent. Approximately 90 percent of direct sellers operate their business part-time.

Are You An Entrepreneur?

2009-05-30T09:29:00.000-07:00

Wanted to share this article I came across written by: By Eve Tahmincioglu

We hear it often: “That guy (or gal) is a born entrepreneur.”

Having interviewed hundreds of entrepreneurs in my career, I’d have to say that statement accurately reflects a common characteristic shared by many successful businesspeople. Call it the entrepreneurial gene.

Take Richard Tait, co-founder of the company that produced the popular line of Cranium board games. Growing up in Scotland, Tait didn’t just take on a paper route. He also sold bacon sandwiches from a cart with the Sunday newspapers he delivered — and ended up making a killing.

And the founder of Quicken Loans, Dan Gilbert, started a pizza business out of his mother’s kitchen when he was 12.

But while it helps to be born a fearless entrepreneur, it’s not a requirement. So take heart.

Scott Shane, author of “The Illusions of Entrepreneurship,” believes there’s a genetic component to entrepreneurial drive, but he maintains that environment may play an even bigger role. “It’s nature and nurture,” explains Shane, entrepreneurship professor at the Weatherhead School of Management at Case Western Reserve University in Cleveland. “People should not worry so much about whether they have it in them or not.”

Rebecca Jennings, owner of online lingerie firm Hips and Curves, never was one of those kids who had a lemonade stand. College career tests directed her to find a secure job with low risk — the highest aspiration her family had for her was to work for the Postal Service.

Jennings spent the bulk of her career working as a bookkeeper for a host of companies and always thought she just wasn’t cut out to be an entrepreneur.

But right before she turned 40, she realized she was “dying inside” and decided to take a chance on following her dream. She started a business that catered to plus-sized women who wanted to wear sexy lingerie.

Jennings took action to overcome her initial fear and lack of motivation, and you can learn from her. Here are some steps that got her started:
- she took a career assessment class at a local trade school
- she took courses in entrepreneurship
- she read “I Could Do Anything If I Only Knew What It Was,” by Barbara Sher
- she joined a women’s business group for camaraderie

Next, Jennings applied what she learned and launched her online business in 2000 using savings, 401(k) funds and credit cards. The first year, she says, was “terrifying and stressful.” Today the business brings in about $4.5 million annually and she has 10 employees.

Nature, nurture or late bloomer, Jennings’ story proves that while you may not be born with the so-called entrepreneurial gene, that doesn’t mean you can’t start and run your own business. In fact, many individuals like Jennings pick up the key traits of entrepreneurship along the way.

So what do you need to succeed as an entrepreneur?

Find your passion: Jennings struggled with her weight and was driven by the desire to offer larger women choices when it came to intimate apparel.

Celebrate faux pas: The one key trait I have found among entrepreneurs and CEOs of major companies is that they are willing to admit their mistakes and learn from them.

Reach out: I can’t say it enough — ASK FOR HELP! Almost all of the successful businesspeople I’ve interviewed over the years have told me they had a mentor in their corner to get over the rough spots.

Ignore negative people: Don’t let the naysayers derail your ambitions. There will never be a lack of people who want to deflate your entrepreneurial-dream balloon, but the great entrepreneurial minds say “yes” when others say “no.”

Lisa Deliz said “yes” to starting a small business in 2006 after years of being a teacher — even though she never envisioned herself running her own company.

Deliz now co-owns the tutoring service Knowledge College Inc. in Cleveland, which today has seven employees and generates nearly $3 million annually. Working in her favor was perseverance. “I don't know that I ever had the guts to become an entrepreneur, but I have always been a motivated person,” she says. “If I set my mind to something I don't stop until I complete it.”

The 5 Critical Components of Positive Risk

2008-11-02T12:12:00.000-08:00

As some of you might know, I just recently signed to be a consultant with Scentsy! I was pondering for a while and as much as I loved the product, I was uncertain of my decision. As with any decisions we make in our lives you know you are taking risks! Some risk making decisions may include: Do I get marry?, Should I change jobs?, Should I move to another state or city?, Will this business be successful?, Should I join this company or the other?...The list could go on, since we face making decisions every single day of our lives! The key is to visualize your risk making decisions as positive risks vs. negative risks!

Positive risk creates an intellectual atmosphere in which you look at your situation from multiple perspectives, understand how you may be filtering information, determine a proactive approach, and transform your inspiration and information into dynamic ACTION.

Here are the 5 critical components or abilities of positive risk taken from an article I found by "Barbara Stoker" in "Empowering Women" Volume 2 Issue 4:

1. View situations from multiple perspectives
2. Identifying how you filter information
3. Taking a proactive vs. reactive approach
4. Transforming information and inspiration into something meaningful
5. Breaking out of our own comfortable ruts

You can apply all these to your personal or professional life! Make sure that whatever you are pondering about, you see the risks that come within...but if you turn those into positive risks then you might just see a more meaningful & powerful outcome while working towards your goals!

Sometimes we only focus on the negative risk components...Lets focus on what your want and where you want to go. Remember once you choose your goal, think honestly if you are doing this for someone else or for YOURSELF!

Help Prevent Fires Like This

2008-10-26T21:18:00.000-07:00

We all love candles! Yes I also had candles at home...yet we all know how dangerous an unattended candle can be.

There have been many tragedies due to accidentally leaving an unattended candle or by just knocking it over. Many times, I myself have lit a candle and just forgotten and then I take off to run several errands. How many times, also, just for simple curiosity has your child touched a candle...please be careful if you decide to lit a candle!

There are many alternatives to wick candles. You can use an electric warmer or a simmer pot & melt tarts, bars, melts or whatever you want to call them. These are less dangerous and most just warm the wax avoiding accidental burns. The best part of just warming & not burning is the fact that if you forget to turn off your warmer, you can rest assure that you will not cause a fire!

Whichever you decide to do; warm wax or burn wax make sure you are taking your precautions if you decide to burn wick candles...I have either given away my wick candles or thrown away the ones I had started to burn!

Do I sometimes miss the flickering of a candle...of course, but I now have chosen to "lose the wick"... for my piece of mind. How about you?
