Transition Time!

Oh, February! I have so much love for this month!  There are so many great things happening this month, leading up to even better things next month!  I have lots to share, so I'll try to be quick.  Bullet style, it is!

• First, on a purely personal note, I added a "Follow me on Pinterest" link in the right sidebar.  I am a bit addicted, but I actually do try to use the pins I find, at least some of them.  ;)

• February Online Mystery Host Party is posted!  What is a Mystery Host Party?  Anyone who places an order online during the month of February will be entered to win the host rewards for all the online orders of the month. If there are at least $150 worth of orders placed online, I will draw a name from all of the orders placed online.  Standard rewards will be awarded.  Get your friends and family to order online to up the number of rewards to be awarded!

• February scent of the month is Pixie - A mischievous moonscape of pink pepper, mandarin, and heliotrope, deepened by exotic teakwood and vanilla oak.

• Also this month, Scentsy is introducing ScenTrend, the latest trend in fragrance.  The ScenTrend for 2012 is Pink Pepper, found in some of the scents available (such as Pixie) but also a great addition to some of the scents available (such as Love Story). Fruity, floral, and feisty Pink Pepper is a comforting yet contemporary scent—and the latest trend in home fragrance.

• February's warmer of the month is Flutterby - Conjure the magic of the first green signs of spring with Flutterby. Fanciful butterfly cutouts cast delightful shadows on the wall when lit.  I love the simplicity and beauty this warmer offers.

• As mentioned in the title, February is transition time.  We're clearing out the old with a 10% discount on everything except Combine and Save packages and licensed warmers.  Many items (mostly holiday, but some others, too!) have been placed on the discontinued list.  This is always my least favorite part of transition time, but I'm comforted by the knowledge there are bigger and better things to come (I can't wait to share the new catalog!).  Transition time is also one of the best times to join!  During transition time, new consultants receive testers from both the old catalog and the new catalog at no extra charge!  

• Discontinued items at the end of this month include two buddies (Pookie - the holiday buddy, and Sasha - the Charitable Cause buddy), 22 full size warmers (Blizzard, Bluster, Caldera, Scentsy Cream, Delta, Fright Night, Full Court, Gingerbread, Jolly, Lotus, Maize, Menorah, Merry Berry, Milano, Paws, Pinecone, Prancer, Silent Night, Socorro, Tannenbaum , Torino, and World Cup), two mid size warmers (Little Lamb and Over the Moon, both from the nursery collection), and eight plug-in warmers (Bloom, Fright Night, Gingerbread, Rust, Silent Night, Snowday, Snowflake-Red, and Weave-Scarlet).  Snapshot does appear in some lists as being discontinued, but Scentsy has confirmed that Snapshot will make a return, even though it will not be featured in the new catalog.  The holiday warmers and buddy may return, but the others are discontinued. There is a deeper discount after February, but once they're sold out, that's it.  

• The scents leaving the catalog at the end of the month are listed below. Some of these scents may return in the Fall/Winter catalog but I have no way of knowing until August rolls around which scents will return and which ones are axed for good.  I know I'll be stocking up on Flutter and Honey Pear Cider this month.  ALL BRICKS are being discontinued.  

Autumn Stroll	Cinnamon Vanilla	Eskimo Kiss	Pumpkin Roll
Autumn Sunset	Clove & Cinnamon	Festival of Trees	Sentimental Cider
Black Ruby	Cocoa Clementine	Flutter	Shades of Green
Central Park Pralines	Comfort & Joy	Honey Pear Cider	Silver Bells
Christmas Cottage	Cozy Fireside	Pima Cotton	Snowberry
Cinnamon Bear	Embers	Pumpkin Marshmallow	Spice Bazaar
			Whiteout

Sorry for the information overload!  I'm going to break this into two posts.  Be on the lookout for another post pertaining to the new products that will soon be available as well as a few sneak peek photos! I can't wait for the new catalog, though I am sad to see some of my favorites going away. 

As always, don't hesitate to let me know if you have questions.  I'd love to help!  

Have a scentsational day!

Giving, Caring, and Sharing

Please help us raise money for Ronald McDonald House Charities while donating Sasha Buddies to Cook Children's Hospital in Fort Worth and the Scent Paks to the United States Military.

Our goal is to donate 500 bears to Cook Children's, to be collected by December 15 and delivered on December 19.  The net proceeds from every Sasha sold will be donated to RMHC.  Help us blow this goal out of the water and make some very sick children extremely happy!

- Team I Love This Bar!

If you'd rather donate to a different hospital or a different cause or just purchase the bear for a gift or your own personal use, the net proceeds will still go to RMHC.  Help us help RMHC help others!

So much to share...

Convention last week was simply amazing.  I'm in love with the new warmers!  For those of you wondering, Leather did NOT return.  However, Weathered Leather is coming instead!  There will be a new Charitable Cause Buddy (yes, Buddy!), plenty of new warmers and scents, and an entirely new line of Solid Perfume.

Of course, that means August is transition month, which means nearly everything in the catalog is 10% off!  There will be an addition of a premium line for both Full and Mid-Size warmers starting next month.  The distinction of premium does come with a small price increase of $5, but these are the warmers that are more labor intensive and therefore cost more to make.  Cupcake is one of the warmers that will be increasing in price, so instead of paying $30, why not get it this month while it's still $22.50?  Baby's Breath, Casbah, Fossil Fern, and Star Spangled are just a few others that will be going up $5.  Instead of paying $35 next month, pay only $27 this month!

Several scents will be discontinued as well.  Check the table below to see if your favorites survived the cut.  If not, now is the time to stock up!  There's even a discount on the Six-Pack, making it $22.50 instead of $25, basically giving you a bar and a half for free!

 

Beach	Faerie Blossom	Lush Gardenia	Silhouette
Berry Blush	Forever Pink	Mulberry Bush	Sugar
Berry Tart	Go-Go-Goji	Mums & Marigolds	Surfer Chick
Cherry Limeade	Groovy Grapefruit	Pomatini	Tea Party
Citrus Sun Tea	Honey, Do!	Radiance	You Go, Girl
Cranberry Mango	Inner Peace	Red Candy Apple
Cranberry Muffin	Lilacs & Violets	Reggae Sunset

Transition month also means extra testers in the startup kit!  If you choose to join my team this month, Scentsy will send party testers for the current catalog as well as the transition testers for the Fall/Winter catalog.  It's only $99 to join, and is usually recouped with the first party!  Enjoy shoe shopping, but don't have the budget?  Scentsy can help with that!  Enjoy traveling, but can't afford anything exotic?  Scentsy can help with that (we have some great incentive trips!)!  Is money tight enough you have to worry about how the next bill will be paid? Let us help!  Would you just like to get your Scentsy for free? We can do that, too!  Let me know if you have questions.  I'd be more than happy to answer them for you!

I know I've been a bit rambly.  It's just because I love the product and the company so much.  No other company I've found is as simple, authentic, and generous as Scentsy.  I absolutely love everything about it!

With that, I'll leave you with a bit of a sneak peek:

 New Mid-Size Warmers!

 Boho Chic... In a Plug-In!

 New Full Size and WOTM!

Love, Life, Hope

One of my favorite charitable causes Scentsy has ever done was last season's.  They were able to present the National Breast Cancer Foundation with a check for over $600,000 raised from the sale of the Love, Life, Hope warmer.  I absolutely love the fact they were able to do this.  Thank you, Scentsy, for caring.  :)
