August, What Happened?

I don't know how you feel, but I felt like August went in a blink of an eye! September came upon me so fast! So much for not being busy! I don't sit well at all. So, I tend to get myself busy very quickly! I'm trying to teach myself to slowdown, but I will admit that it hasn't been easy at all. Now that September is here, maybe I can do a better job at it.....hopefully.

I went to visit Mom last week, and we had some good mother/daughter time. I enjoy spending quality time with her, and I wish I could do it more often. Anyways, we went to a place called Sips n Strokes.You can sign up for a class, and with an instructor, you do a painting. We ended up painting crosses that night. I will have to take a picture of it. I have a love for painting. So, I thought it would be something unique that Mom and I could do together. We learned very quickly that we are ones for detail and perfection though! That can get anyone in trouble when painting! It was a lot of fun! Feel free to click on the Sips n Strokes link, and see if there is a Sips n Strokes near you!

Yesterday started the new catalog for Scentsy! It has all of the NEW products and scents for the Fall/Winter. If you haven't experienced Scentsy, you should definitely check out the link. There is nothing like it that comes anywhere close to matching the incredible, long lasting smell that Scentsy creates. It works just like turning on a lamp, and you can leave it on all day. You do not have to be home. It is completely safe! There is nothing like coming home to an amazing smelling home! I spent last night putting together baskets for Scentsy basket parties. What I love about the basket parties, is the ease of it! I put together a basket filled with different products to try out, catalogs, order forms, etc. I then give the basket to someone, and they will put it on a table at work somewhere. They can even plug in the warmer in the basket and try it out! Scentsy tends to sell itself so many times. So, gathering orders is a breeze. It isn't like having a catalog party and not getting to see anything. It is all right there to try out! Plus, after orders, you get free and discounted items for doing it! Scentsy is good for teacher gifts, Christmas, birthday, housewarming gifts, etc. You can't go wrong with it. Let me know if you are interested in taking a basket! I still have some available to go out in September!

Jonathan and I have been sorting through our belongings. We are hoping to have a HUGE yard sale before it gets into those cold days. We have so many wonderful things that we have been blessed with, but there are so many things that we don't use or we don't have a need for. My thinking is, there is no reason to have things so that they can sit on a shelf. If you can't put it to good use, then it needs to go to someone who will use it. There's no need in letting stuff clutter up your house! I say all of that to say.....I have done the complete opposite! I have so many things to go through, but it will be good to do a clean sweep of things. Last year we had a yard sale, and we were able to afford to buy some nice furniture for our house. It is nice when you can take things you don't use, sell it, and use the money for things you really need. I will let you know when the yard sale happens. It might be a while, but we would love for you to come see us when it happens!

So, for those of you who don't already know, I LOVE CANDLES! So, when I was introduced to the Scentsy business and realized I could have a wickless candle that functions as a lamp and smells better than regular candles burning, I was hooked! A candle that I can leave on ALL DAY even when I'm not at home is definitely a winner in my book. If you haven't already discovered the amazing world of Scentsy, then go ahead and check it out on my webpage by clicking here Whitney's Scentsy .

Each month, Scentsy comes out with a warmer and scent of the month. It offers these products at a discounted rate of 10% off for that month only. The warmer and scent of the month is not found in the catalog because it is exclusively made for its signature month. This month's warmer is called Cupcake and the scent of the month is called Happy Birthday. The Happy Birthday scent is a "candy-licious" confection of sparkling sugar, fluffy whipped cream, and warm vanilla extract (YUM)! I can honestly say that the Cupcake warmer is the cutest warmer I have ever seen them come out with, and it makes the perfect birthday decoration or is even cute sitting in your kitchen year round!

Check out the Cupcake warmer below:


Isn't it precious? It would be absolutely ADORABLE in a little girl's room! You can always order anything you want straight from my website by clicking here Whitney's Scentsy . When you order from the website, you can get your order shipped straight to your house.

Of course I'm big on stretching the dollar and saving as much money as possible. If you are like me, the more Scentsy for as little cost as possible is the way to go! There's a really fun way to do this, and what I love is the fact that it is so different from other independent consultant companies. Catalog parties can be pretty boring in my personal opinion because you don't get to see anything in person before deciding to purchase it. Home parties are lots of fun, and I love doing home parties with Scentsy, but sometimes it just isn't the best time to open up your home because you have a million other things going on. If you are busy like me and still want to save money, then you want to have a Scentsy basket party. I fill a basket up with samples of ALL the scents, a warmer, plug-in, etc., and I also put catalogs in there. All you have to do is take the basket wherever you go, and gather orders. It works perfectly when you set it up at work so that when someone has a chance they can check it out. You can have the basket for 1-2 weeks and then get it back to me, and you will start getting freebies and discounted Scentsy starting with just $150 worth of orders! That's not much at all compared to other companies!

I have a lot of basket parties being scheduled for August and September. So, setup a time with me to get your basket or I can bring the basket to you, and try Scentsy out for yourself. The warmer and plug-in included in your basket are for you to use! Trying things out first is definitely the way to go! Have fun, and remember to stay scentsational! :)

If you choose to make a purchase from the website or participate in a basket party, thank you in advance! You are helping contribute to our family in the ministry, and that means more to me than you could ever imagine!
