Gift of the day: Scents by Scentsy

2011-12-14

I’m addicted to anything that smells good so when my Scentsy Consultant Maryland Holly sent over some some products, I was super excited to try Scentsy out. Maryland sent over a Scentsy Warmer for me to try.  What I like most about these warmers is they use light bulbs instead of wicks which are much safer! These are the perfect alternative.  These warmers come in various shapes and sizes and make the perfect gift for a teacher, co-worker, etc. What good is the warmer without Scentsy bars?? These scented bars break-apart into sections to be placed in the warmer…  With over 40 different scents you are bound to find something that tickles your fancy. My favorite scent right now is Clean … Continue reading
