My New Favorite Thing!!

Have you heard of Scentsy?  Well, they are a fairly new company specializing in flameless candle "warmers" and waxes.  The scented wax is gently warmed in one of their warmers using a low-watt lightbulb instead of a flame, releasing the fragrance.  If I forget to turn it off before I leave or go to bed, no problem!  It's totally safe!  My home and studio now smell wonderful ALL the time!
I love this one!  I have one at work and one at home.
To me, there is nothing better than walking into a home or business that smells amazing!  Honestly, I have many candles laying around.  Many I don't use because they were so expensive that I keep putting it off for a "special occasion".  But also because I am very forgetful, and when I burn a candle, there have been many times where I get this overwhelming fear that I've forgotten to blow one out, so I get up to check them all (or turn around and go back home or work to check).  I also have oil burners that I have used in the past, only to find it smoking because the water has evaporated and now it's burning in the dish...and not smelling very good any more.  And have you ever burned a candle under a cabinet and looked at the underside of it?  Black soot all over it!  And if the soot isn't sticking to the underside of a cabinet, it's surely floating around and landing somewhere in your home.  Gross!
I am using this one in my studio right now for the month of October, and also have this design in a plug-in at home.
So, I received my Scentsy warmer for my birthday and I totally fell in love!  There are over 100 different warmers...one to fit into any decor.  They also have Plug-ins and Holiday warmers.  There are over 80 different scents and I have found many that I absolutely love!  I have a warmer in my studio that I keep on all day while working and my clients are loving it!  I also have them going at home almost every day.
This is a bar of Scentsy wax.  It breaks off into eight squares...this is one of my favorite scents!
Here is some information about using Scentsy waxes instead of candles that I found interesting and helpful.

Yankee Candle -
22 oz candle
110-150 hrs burn time, cost $24.99 each and $0.17 to $0.23/hr to burn.
14.5 oz candle 
65-90 hrs burn time, cost $21.99 each and $0.24 to $0.34/hr to burn.
Glade -
10 oz soy-based candle
25-35 hrs burning time, cost $9.99 each and $0.29 to $0.40 to burn.
4.9 oz soy candle
16-26 hrs burning time, cost $34.60/6 pack and $0.22 to $0.36 to burn.
Scented Oil candle
2-3 hrs burn time, cost $3.79/3 pack and a whopping $0.42 to $0.63/hr to burn.
Scentsy:
1 Scentsy bar  --  Warm Time: 60-80 hours                 
 Price: $5.00           TOTALS: $.06 - $.08/hour

I actually use one square in my Scentsy warmer in my studio at work and can warm it for two full days at work (22 hours).  My bars are lasting longer than 80 hours.  Larger rooms will require more than one square, or to be changed out a little more frequently.

Please see this link from the U.S. Fire Administration for some statistics on candle fires:

I have this little plug-in too! 
I am now totally addicted to my Scentsy stuff!!  So much so, that I signed up as a consultant.  I had so many clients asking about it, and I think it's such an amazing product, I decided to make it available to them, as well as my friends, family and myself!  I have a Scentsy website that they (and you) can order from, or I can take orders.  Free shipping and customer/host incentives kick in at $150, but even if you don't spend $150, the shipping is VERY reasonable!  Scentsy is not available in stores...only through independant consultants.   I am not doing home parties (not my thing, and I'm way too busy with my lash business and family), but I have a basket set up and have had several clients take it to work and get sales from there...and they end up getting lots of free and discounted stuff.
