My New Favourite Thing

I had heard of Scentsy for awhile, but figured it was just another version of PartyLite.  I didn't really give it a second thought until a friend of mine (is it too soon for me to call you that, C?) started selling it.  I looked at their website a little closer and chatted with some people at a tradeshow about it.  I discovered that Scentsy is quite different from PartyLite and Gold Canyon.

First off, there are no actual candles involved.  A huge plus if you have pets or children!  The Scentsy warmers are heated with a light bulb.  The heat melts a block of wax and voila!  Within minutes, you have an awesome smelling room!

Secondly, you have a buttload of scents to choose from.   Maybe I shouldn't use the word "butt" and "scents" in the same sentence, but whatever.  The scents are absolutely duh-VINE.  And for you bachelors out there who prefer a more masculine scent, there are some there for you too :)

Lastly, there are a variety of ways to "get" your scents.  What I mean by this is that you can either buy the warmers and wax bricks, you can get an air-freshener type thing that you hang in your closet or there are these little travel tin things that you just slide open.  I think I might be missing a few of the options, but you get my point.

I received my order just tonight and I promptly plugged it in (I bought the kind that looks like a nightlight).  The estimated burning time for each little brick is about 6-8 hours.  Now, I'm sure that mine would have lasted that long, but I already had to add a new brick at 10:30pm.  This wasn't because the brick fizzled out, but because I spilled the damn thing.  Which leads me to another great feature of Scentsy - the wax doesn't burn you.

I was trying to make a mini mould with the wax so that I could place one in the van.  Instead of doing the smart thing and carrying the burner to the sink and pouring it, I decided to pour it right next to the plug in.  Well, the wax decided to go any which way except into the mould.  Within seconds, I had "White Sand" scented floors :)  On the plus side, it cleaned up very easy too!
