March Madness!

There are so many great things to share for this month, but I'm going to start off with a simple Warmer/Scent of the month post, mostly because it's just too cute to keep quiet any longer!

This month's warmer is not a warmer at all, but an adorable duck Buddy, Wellington!  He is snuggled up in a removable sunny yellow rain slicker, ready for whatever weather might come your way.  Remove the hood to reveal the cutest little tuft of hair on top of his head.  I love him!

The scent for this month is Sunlit Morning, and it's such a beautiful spring scent.  Wake up to warm rays of sunshine. Experience the brilliance of a spring morning with juicy lemon and bergamot, white flowers, and a pinch of earthy sage. I love this scent, and because of the type of scent it is, it's one of our longer lasting scents, so use it sparingly!  I managed to get several days out of half a cube in our main bathroom.

Remember, both Wellington the Duck and all forms of Sunlit Morning are on sale this month for 10% off.  These would make a great addition to any Easter basket.  

October Scent and Warmer of the Month

Autumn Stroll: Amble under a bright harvest moon, leaves crunching underfoot, as peppery cinnamon mingles with dusky plum and warm wood incense to create a spicy and comforting fragrance.

Snapshot:  Let your photos glow as warmly as the memories they capture. When Snapshot is switched on, a picture window set into a square, ivory-and-taupe column radiates light from within its ropey, silver frame. All that's missing is your favorite photo.

Add homey Autumn Stroll to Snapshot and you have the perfect gift for a loved one - or yourself.

September Scent and Warmer of the Month

Pumpkin Marshmallow:

Sticky, sweet marshmallow

spooned onto fresh-baked pumpkin

and wrapped in a graham cracker crust.

*OmNomerific*

Maize:

As the leaves change to brilliant oranges, reds, and yellows,

bring the joy of autumn indoors with Maize,

a bold vessel crafted in earthy, golden saffron.

Just Breathe...

This scent is an amazing breath of fresh air, especially with it being so hot lately.  It actually smells cold, if that makes sense.  The eucalyptus and mint together with the lemon are so fresh and invigorating.

Just Breathe is on sale this month for 10% off.  It will be in the fall catalog next month at regular price.

August Scent and Warmer of the Month

It's not quite August yet, but I figured I could share the new warmer and scent of the month here:

Just Breathe:  Breathe deeply as soothing eucalyptus, zesty lemon, and a medley of mints comfort and rejuvenate.

Sol:  The majestic sunflower faces the sun throughout the day, actually turning from east to west as it rises and sets—a true lover of light and warmth. Drink in the sun’s rays with Sol, a bright, hand-painted beauty in the sunniest shade of goldenrod, highlighted by hints of chalky white. Delicate, climbing tendrils accent a giant, embossed sunflower in full bloom, as large vent holes emit pronounced beams of light—homage to an endless summer sky.  Capture the essence of the mighty sunflower with Sol.

My personal takes on both monthly items:  I love the warmer since it's so different and so fitting for the month of August.  It's a warmer that would fit in nearly any room, too.  The scent is very different and unexpected.  It's actually a COLD scent, if that makes sense.  I could smell it when I opened the box and it made my nose feel cold.  I don't know how else to explain it.  It's something that certainly needs to be experienced!

Into the Final...

Congratulations, US Women's Soccer Team, for making it to the 2011 FIFA Women's World Cup final game!

Good luck in the final game.  We're rooting for you!

World Cup

July WOTM!

July's warmer and scent of the month are available for purchase! This is probably one of the most adorable warmers I've seen yet.  It's also the first three piece warmer I've ever seen.  Since it's only a mid-size warmer it's already less expensive than the normal warmers of the month.  Remember, there is a 10% discount for the entire month off any of the Happy Birthday scent items or the Cupcake warmer.  As always, let me know if you're interested in a sample!

 

Amber Road...

I really do love this scent. 

Mix it up!

I have a warmer on my desk and work and since I'm sitting right next to it all the time, I try to be careful with the scents I warm. I can't warm anything too strong or my head starts to hurt. I can't warm anything from the bakery/cafe line since those scents tend to give me wicked cravings.  I can't warm anything others in my department don't like.  There are lots of restrictions, so I limit myself to a few scents.

Flutter was well received by everyone, but Amber Road was not.  Some people liked Luscious Lemon but some thought it was too strong.  I put in My Dear Watson today and realized that was far too strong for me to sit right next to it.  I decided it was time to start playing with recipes at that point.

I saved the My Dear Watson back into the original container and decided to mix Welcome Home with something.  There's a cinnamon element to it and I am not a fan of most of the cinnamon scents unless there is something cutting it. I don't have a big selection of scents at work, but I was able to find one that works well with Welcome Home.  One cube of Cappuccino (BBMB from last summer) mixed with one cube of the Welcome Home and it smells a bit like a coffee house in the middle of winter.  With the way the weather was today, it was perfect.

Mother's Day

Mother's Day is fast approaching, less than two weeks away!  Visit the Scentsy Buddy page and have the little ones color a picture for Mom!

I will be able to spend this Mother's Day with my fabulous five-year-old.  We have no plans as of yet, but I see possibilities of shopping, park visiting, and dining out for that day. 

How will you be spending Mother's Day? 

Bring Back My Bar

BBMB is back! Voting opened today for Bring Back My Bar. Go vote often for your favorite retired scents to make a comeback during the month of July. This is my favorite time of year, partly because I love to see what people are voting for but also because I get to try a whole new world of scents.

My personal favorites are Leather, Vanilla Oak, and Blackberry Bushel out of the ones I've smelled, though there are many in the list that we love. I would love to see Flower Shop, Berries and Bubbly, Banana Nut Bread, Carrot Cake, and many others make the list as well. Check out the entire list of candidates here.

Tell your friends and family. Bring back the scents you all love!
