Okay, I live with two 20-something year old boys. Okay, yes…I am a girl. Girls like things to smell good. Okay, yes…I have this terrible fear of fire, but I like things to smell nice. DILEMMA!? NOT ANYMORE! Thanks to the awesome makers of Scentsy, I can make my home smell just as yummy as using candles without the fear of my cats tails catching on fire (and spreading everywhere else…)

I have a Twitter friend, @ActivDefiance who is a Scentsy consultant in the Cleveland area. She had a giveaway, anyone to like her facebook page was entered to win a mid-size warmer and a bar of scent! To my surprise, I WON! I never win anything, but I WON! Dude, I was so excited. So, I am here to tell you ALL about it. They are SO perfect and inexpensive for that magical holiday coming up too!

First off, I have to say Cortney (that’s my Scentsy Rep) is the cutest human on earth. She brought my prize to a kickboxing class last week, and it was so adorable. It was a large, clear plastic bag, with pieces of crinkle paper that lined the bottom. Inside the bag, on top of the crinkle paper was a big box in the middle, a card to the side, and the scent bar package to the other side. It was all tied off with a multicolored, high quality ribbon. (TOTALLY FREAKING ADORABLE!). I was pretty excited to get kickboxing over so I could take it home and try it out.

I got home and opened up the bag, Cortney being the sweetheart that she is, included the most appropriate for me “thank you card”. I think if you look at the picture, you will figure out why.

I kind of laughed to myself when I saw how well the thank you card fit me.

Anyways… I continued on to see what else was in the bag. When I won the contest, Cortney asked me to pick out a scent that I would like. I was kind of torn between a few different scent bars, but I chose Cinnamon Bear, just to be safe. I didn’t even have to open the package to smell it. It smells like amazing, cinnamon red-hots. It smells SO amazing. I love warm spice smells; so of course, I fell in love. The scent bars are pretty neat, they come in a plastic package that looks like little bars and the coolest thing is you can pour the molten wax from the dish back into the plastic to remold and store. That would be useful if you wanted to change scents. So, you really waste NOTHING! You just pour it back into the package and let it cool and save it for another time!

Okay, it was time to play with my new Scent*Sational toy! I took out the box from the bag and opened it. You are greeted by the user manual, which comes in a variety of different languages. I think I love Scentsy even more than normal people because the packaging and supporting materials are so nicely designed.There is no mistake in using this product, everything is spelled right out as soon as you open the box.

I took out all the stuffing and packaging. The warmer comes in two pieces. The top dish is under the manual and the rest is underneath the Styrofoam. Included in the base of the warmer is a light blub for the warmer, so it’s basically all ready to use out of the box! Just screw in the bulb and you are ready to start melting stuff. I mean, the bars of course.

I am a bit terrible with screwing in light bulbs, I ALWAYS put them in crooked. I hope you have better luck with this than I do.

Okay, with the light bulb in, you put the dish on top. This particular warmer’s design had this “crease” where the top fit into the base. Genius by the way…

Okay, I was now ready to melt some stuff. By stuff I mean scent bars!!! I opened the package and popped two little scent cube bars out and put them in the top dish. The warmer comes with a hand on/off switch on the cord. That totally made my day! I plugged it in and turned it out. It took about 15 minutes for the ceramic parts to warm up and start to melt the wax, by then things were starting to smell AWESOME. The longer I left it on, the more smell that it produced. I was trying it out in my craft room/office and they could smell the scent all the way downstairs!

The ceramic DOES get warm, but I could still touch it without hurting myself. I wouldn’t recommend keeping it around pets or children just because of the melted wax, but I am just saying when I touched it, it didn’t hurt me. I would definitely recommend keeping it on a counter top or away from easily bump-able areas. I am a crazy person, so I definitely turn off the warmer when I leave. I know some people that would leave it on, but I am afraid of everything always catching on fire. I just turn it off and let the wax cool in the dish. When I get back home, I turn it on and the wax re-melts itself and continues to release more fragrance.

The Scentsy warmer uses the light bulb to warm the ceramic and melt the wax, so it also serves as soothing mood lighting, along with scenting the air for added effect! So next time you have friends over for a relaxing evening, put some scent bars into your warmer and turn it on… or put on in the bedroom and …. Bow-Chicka-Wow-Wow….. (Adults Only, of course…)

Are you ready for more? Well, that’s all I have. You have to contact/call Cortney to have your own Scent*Sational experience! She will hook you up. They have warmers and scents to pretty much fit ANYONE. Men, Women, even Scentsy Buddies for kids!
