I'm a candle girl. I love candles. I love a specific brand of candles and a specific scent. But, I go through one large one a month which puts me out about 35 bucks a month. That's almost as much as what I pay for my phone bill. It's not right.
Despite the economy, now is not the time to give up on my candle-burning ways. I now have a daughter who lives in diapers. And so my candle-burning ways have only worsened and I fight the urge to burn a candle in the culprit room. But, as luck would have it I stumbled upon the perfect solution to my money and poop woes all in one. SCENTSY. It is brilliant. Why didn't I think of that? I could be sunbathing on the beaches of Hawaii permanently drawing a paycheck....sans cover up.
It's simple and so much more economical than the regular wick-burning candles. You purchase a warmer for around 30 bucks and you purchase Scentsy bars for about 5 dollars each. I purchased 2 bars when I bought my warmer and in 3 weeks I've not used half of one bar and I use my warmer almost daily for several hours. It is soooo much cheaper than the candles I've been buying and there are TONS of scents to choose from. If you get tired of one scent and want to switch to another you just pour the melted wax back into the bar holder. It hardens and you reuse it later and simply place the new scent in the warmer. Once you have your warmer, you only have to purchase the bars!
This is all good and dandy but for me, the biggest selling point is that there is no flame involved. The wax melts with the heat from a light bulb that is included with your warmer. I can leave the house for hours and leave the warmer on. One square from the bar will smell up my entire house in a hurry. I will soon be purchasing an additional warmer to keep in Natalie's room and I won't have to worry about a flame or forgetting to blow it out.
Isn't that AWESOME?!
I'm not in the business of advertising. In fact, I don't advertise. BUT, I do love to pass along my fab finds. And this was just too good.
So, here's what we've got for you....
I contacted a local consultant, Amy, and purchased a warmer from her. After trying it out and loving it, I went back to Amy and asked if she would consider donating something for a blog reader.
She's so awesome, that she is donating the following warmer and 3 bars to a blog reader (Almost $50 in merchandise). If you win, you just have to come pick it up. So, to enter the drawing leave a comment and tell us your favorite candle scent. Easy.
Here's a picture of the warmer she's donating
If you're interested in trying one out even if you don't win, send me an email and I can give you the name and email of the uber-sweet consultant that sold me my first Scentsy warmer she has a case full of scents if you want to smell them in person. My personal favorite is the Pineapple Paradise (even though I'm typically a Sugar Cookie girl).
Comments will be accepted until Monday 10 a.m. Crosby Standard Time and I'll post the winner at noon the same day.
Good luck!
