Not a Creature Was Stirring...
Yikes! It's been so quiet here! I'm so sorry about the little hiatus. We just returned from an absolutely fabulous family vacation filled with sun and water and children and laughter in my beautiful home state of Michigan.
For the past three years my husband and my daughter and I have gone to the Great White North to visit with my parents, my sisters, and their families. I actually wound up missing the first year due to work, but have made sure not to miss any others. Last year and this year both we drove the great distance from DFW to Detroit before making the final journey to the Lake House.
Between all of the little ones running around (most of whom I don't get to see but once a year since we live so far away) and all the catching up we had to do, not to mention the lack of internet and extremely meager mobile phone service, I had to take a vacation from the blog. I wound up taking a vacation from Scentsy as well. I was going through withdrawals! We had to sleep with the windows open so I never even bothered to use my plug-in. I have to admit, I was quite tempted! I know I could have made it work, but we weren't inside much and when I did think about it was when we were about to walk out. My husband turned our warmers on as soon as he walked in the house last night, though!
In any case, I'm back! A few quick things to note: BBMB is almost done. Don't miss out! Cupcake and Happy Birthday are still available at a discount through the end of the month.
Also, I am working on a fundraiser for some friends of mine from college. They recently gave birth to a beautiful baby boy who just happens to have a heart condition that has required two surgeries so far and will likely require more in the future. A few of us are trying to raise some money for them to help cover travel and other such expenses. Any orders placed through this party will be credited to this fundraiser. All proceeds will be donated to the Rosenthal family to help them through these tough times.
Stay tuned. August's warmer and scent are in. Pictures to follow soon. :)

Bring Back My Bar is here!!
The Bring Back My Bar month is here and all 20 scents are now available for purchase! These can be purchased individually or in multi-packs. Remember, a pack of three bars saves you $1 but a pack of six saves you $5! I will be placing orders all month long, so let me know. Order early and if you find a scent you can't live without, stock up later!
The scents marked with an asterisk* are my absolute favorites from this batch. I didn't find a scent I didn't like while I was making samples, to be honest. This is a really terrific group of scents! As always, I have samples of all the scents.

Samples
I started making samples this week for the BBMB scents. My office had the indistinct Scentsy smell to it for a few days. While I don't dislike smelling everything all at once, sometimes I just want to be able to pinpoint a scent and stick with it.
Instead of using the candy molds to make samples, I figured I would make samples to save, so I used little clear pots from Sally Beauty Supply. I placed an order for a whole bunch of these little pots and I can't wait for them to come in. This really worked out well.
My current favorite (minus Luscious Lemon and Cutiepie Cupcake) is Exotic Vanilla/Velvet Spice. IT reminds me of a scented lotion I used to use from Bath & Body Works years ago. I absolutely love this scent. I have it in the two warmers in the living room and kitchen and thinking about putting it in the office.
Remember to sign up for my newsletter to get my specials emailed directly to you. Also, there's less than one week left to take advantage of the current monthly special!

Scentsy Delivery Excitement!
I am so excited today! I received the BBMB sampler package today! The scents are amazing. There are SO many fruit scents in this batch. I love it!
On top of receiving these new (to me) scents, my first consultant to sponsor received her starter kit (always a fun day!), and two of my very close friends received their party baskets/binders today. I'm so excited for all three to get a chance to play with the scents and various products. I remember how much fun I had when I received my first warmer, but that was nothing compared to how excited I was when I received my starter kit. There are just so many scents and so many fun products.
I can't wait to hear back from them all! :)

BBMB and WOTM
My BBMB sampler is ordered but not on the way yet. I'm excited because so many of these scents are new to me. It doesn't hurt that there's a Luscious Lemon and a Cutiepie Cupcake in the mix. I feel like a little kid again getting all excited like I would for my birthday or Christmas.
Also, next month's warmer is on the way! As soon as it arrives, I'll be taking pictures to share. It's so cute!
Have a Scentsarific weekend!

When Life Gives You Lemons...
I love, love, LOVE lemons, especially in the spring and summer. I can't get enough of them. I love lemonade, lemon muffins, lemon cupcakes, lemon chicken, and (of course) lemon scents filling my house. I've already made lemon cupcakes this year and will likely be making lemon cookies or lemon bars soon, and maybe even lemon sorbet. I made a great lemon icing for the cupcakes and had so much left over that I used it as a dip with graham crackers. Everyone raved about it. Yum!
One of my favorite lemon scents is Coconut Lemongrass. Last spring I was itching for a good lemon scent, and that fit the bill perfectly. July rolled around with the whole Bring Back My Bar special and Luscious Lemon came back for the month. I have that at work, though it's difficult for me to warm it there since it tends to be a strong scent and I'm in a pretty small space with other people and I don't want to knock them out with my Scentsy. I just want to knock out the stinky boy and dusty computer parts smell.
With the sunny days and warm weather, I've really been craving a lemon scent to brighten up our little office, so I decided to find another scent to help tone it down. If I had Vanilla Cream, that would have made the perfect lemon cupcake scent. I had something pretty close, Vanilla Walnut. These two combined actually made the room smell great! Unfortunately, my new favorite lemon scent is combined from two discontinued scents!

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!
