Bring Back My Bar - Dawn's Review #4

Happy almost New Year everyone!!!!  Today I'll be reviewing Pretty in Pink and Buttermints.

Pretty In Pink - such a fun and flirty scent.  A bit of floral, with a hint of amber.  To me this is a very happy scent, very nice.  Feminine white florals with a touch of grapefruit over rich amber and wood.  The wax is a really pretty pink color too!

Buttermints - Kind of a soft, subtle scent.  Not too minty.  It does smell like mint candy.  Melt in your mouth peppermint candies with subtle hints of creamy butter.

Have a fun and safe New Years celebration tonight!  See you in the new year!

Bring Back My Bar - Dawn's Review #3

Mysterious - gosh, this one is mysterious. I'm not really sure what I'm smelling.  Its a nice smell, subtle, sort of earthy and woody.  The description reads - spicy, fresh & woody - this masculine fragrance evolks stength and vitality.  Its not a real strong smell, but very nice.

Berries & Bubbly - Mmmmmmm.  I likey!  I do smell the strawberries.  Not too much bubbly though.  The description reads - sweet strawberry aroma with champagne.  Nice!

If you would like to smell these and any of our 20 Bring Back My Bars - contact me for a personal smelling appointment or book your own party and have some Scentsy fun with your friends.

Bring Back My Bar - Dawn's Review #2

Amaretto - ahhhh, the memories of dancing to the music of the 80s at Rumour's Night Club while drinking amaretto collins comes to mind.  Its a sweet smell of almond, honey and spices. 

Toasted Apple Butter - smells a little bit like apple pie, but not as cinnamony.  Smells like apple, creamy butter and a hint of spices.

If you would like to smell these and our other 18 Bring Back My Bars, contact me for your personal smelling appointment, or host a fun Scentsy party and bring your friends together to smell all of my smellies!

They are finally here!!!  My Bring Back My Bars just arrived yesterday!  Over 5 million people voted and these are the top 20 Scentsy scents from the votes cast.   I will be posting a review on 2 of these scents every day for the next 10 days. 

I was really looking forward to smelling these 2 scents in particular and boy - I surely was not disappointed!

Coffee Tree - if you love the smell of deep, rich coffee brewing in the morning, then you are going to just LOVE this one!

The Yummiest Smelling Party Favors Ever!

I LOVE my Scentsy party favors!  I have a collection of them in each bathroom - I open them up and place them in a cute bowl or bucket and it makes my bathroom smell wonderful!  I also have one in my car, it heats up just enough to melt the wax a little bit to release some of the fragrance (I haven't parked the car in the hot sun yet, so not sure how that will work out - be sure to have a dish or something under it just in case it melts and overflows).




So - how do you get one of my prizes possessions?  Be a host or attend one of my Scentsy parties.  I give these as party favors for everyone who attends one of my parties (while supplies last).  Once I run out, thats it.  No more.  So be sure to book your party ASAP so you and your friends can start your own collection of smellies. 

Stay tuned for more about our January promotions!  January is definately the month to host a fun Scentsy party!

Annual Holiday Appreciation Party

The first Saturday in December is reserved for my Annual Holiday Appreciation Party!  I had so much fun this year planning and getting everything ready for this fun event.  Its my way of thanking all of my hosts and customers that supported me and my Scentsy business throughout the year.  
Party Favors

Now I am not a crafty person whatsoever, but I think I did pretty good with the party favors and gift sets that I put together.  Now these are not my ideas at all!  I took the party favor idea from Tabetha - you have the most amazing ideas girl!  And I had to search the web on how to make pretty gift sets.  Lame, I know, but I am just not very creative with the fru fru....I'm getting better though (LOL)!


Solid Perfume & Scent Pack gift set

Everyone arrived on-time.  I had them fill out their name tag with their first name and their favorite TV show.  It was a really great ice breaker and it got everyone mingling and having fun (my fave TV show is Grey's Anatomy).  Then it was time for my on-time drawing.  Trish was the big winner of a Piece by Piece, Autism Speaks warmer and a Cranberry Muffin Scentsy bar.  It was so amazing because she mentioned that her son was just diagnosed with a form of Autism, and it was so amazing that she won that warmer!  Unbelievable.

Now for the fun!  I passed out a blank Scentsy Bingo card.  They had 30 minutes to smell all of our amazing scents and create their own Scentsy Bingo card by writing down their favorite scents on the squares.  Plus they could "earn" a FREE SPACE by pledging to book a home or on-the-go pouch party.  They had a blast smelling all of our wonderful scents, sharing stories of what each scent reminded them of.  When their cards were filled out - I had Jaren, Michelle's 3 year old son, help me call out the scents for everyone to check off on their card.  In a little while I hear a loud "Scentsy" (they had to yell Scentsy instead of Bingo)!  A winner!  We had so much fun playing Scentsy Bingo - a big hit!!!

I am truly thankful to my family, friends, co-workers, customers, hosts, Believe to Succeed team, and fellow Scent-A-Holics.  Without you, I would not have a business!  I love meeting new people, sharing my love for Scentsy and seeing the joy it brings to everyone who experiences it.  The party was a wonderful success.  We all had a great time.  As I was walking people out, I noticed the friendships that were shared with everyone who attended.....I have the best customers!  Next years event will be even better!  I can't wait!  Big HUGS!!!

St. Andrew's Priory Holiday Fair

Saturday, November 19th - St. Andrew's Priory held its Holiday Fair on the grounds of the school in Downtown Honolulu.  We were blessed with a light rain in the morning, but the rest of the day was beautiful.  There were yummy food trucks and food booths - I saw an ice cream truck, Fairy Cakes was there, so was India Cafe, and there was a booth selling gourmet bacon wrapped hot dogs - YUM!!! 

The craft fair was held in the Gym.  I was so blessed to be back again this year to share Scentsy with all who stopped by.  A special thanks goes out to Carolyn Kobayashi who helped me the entire day from set up to break down!  Carolyn - you ROCK!!!   We met so many new people and saw many customers from last year - we had a really GREAT time!

I truly LOVE craft fairs and events.  I have so much fun talking to people, seeing them light up when they experience Scentsy and the joy that Scentsy brings. 

My most cherished customer of the day was a little girl and her father.  They stopped by very early in the day, she was wearing a ballerina outfit as she was on her way to try out for the Nutcracker.  She saw Lenny our little lamb Scentsy Buddy who is so cuddly and soft and fell in love with him.  They promised to come back.  After her tryout, they returned and she told me that she did GREAT!  She went straight over to Lenny, picked him up and hugged & squeezed him.  She picked out our Sweet Pea & Vanilla scent pack to go with Lenny.  She took one sniff of the scent pack and let out a long "Ahhhhhhh".  I told her that now that Lenny is her's she can name him anything she wanted. She decided to keep his name as is.  She gave me a GREAT BIG HUG and was so happy to take Lenny home!

Another lady walked by and her face just lit up!   "Ahhhhh, Scentsy!"  She yelled!  My friend just bought me the Grotto plug-in warmer as a gift yesterday!  She went on-line the night before to search for Scentsy and read all about it!  She was excited to see me the very next day - god works in marvelous ways!  I had my scent testers on the table, and she found Luna from our Romance collection.  Her daughter's name is Luna.  What a wonderful surprise!

We received many compliments about our table and how festive and colorful our display  looked.  A very special thank you goes out to my hubby for putting together my new shelf display and my peg board for hanging up our yummy scented wax!   The display shelf worked wonderfully! 


And a special thank you goes out to Deb the organizer of the event!  Deb - you are totally awesome!  She helped me carry all my stuff from the car, she kept us updated on important information about the event, and kept coming around to make sure that we were ok and if we needed water.  Deb - you are the BEST!  I am so delighted and honored to have been a part of this wonderful event!

A Different Kind of Party

Have you ever been asked to attend or host a home party?  My first home party I attended was an Arbonne party.  The only reason why I attended that party was because I really liked the Consultant, she was very fun to be around, and I was looking for a part-time job to help pay the bills.  I didn't want to work at the mall, I wanted something flexible, something that I could build.  So I went to the party, by myself to check it out.  We had a lot of fun slathered on creams and tonics to make our skin and ourselves feel beautiful, and it did!  The products were amazing. 

So here I am today, a Scentsy Consultant having a ball getting people "Scentsy-fied" and addicted to our yummy smell goods by hosting fun Scentsy parties.  What makes my Scentsy parties different from any other home party?  Well, I don't teach you anything, we don't hold a class or a workshop, we don't make crafts or cards or stamps, I don't make you take off your makeup in front of a room full of people, I don't help you lose weight.  We make you smile and giggle smelling our Newborn Nursery scent.  You remember your first born child, changing his diapers as he squirts you for the first time.  Or you remember your cozy winters by the fireplace when you lived in Seattle or Minnesota as you smell our Cozy Fireside scent.  Or you relax and smile as you breathe in the delicate fragrances of our Flutter scent (my FAVE).  This is what Scentsy does to you.  It envelopes your room with your favorite scents.  It warms the heart, enlivens the senses and inspires the soul!  Once you have tried Scentsy, you will be hooked, just like I was.

Our parties are just that, a party!  We have friends and family sitting around a table or on the floor, smelling our many different scents.  Laughing, giggling, saying "ooohhhh smell this one" or "ooohhh, this one is strong", or "ahhhh, I love this one".  Talking story, eating, drinking, having fun!  Usually games and prizes are involved too!

Here are some ideas to make your party super fun! 

Scentsy Beach Bash - we'll have some beachy fun and make your place smell tropical and inviting!  Bring your most beat up beach towel to win a prize! 

Scentsy Mommy & Me Party - bring the kids along for some fun.  Design Your Own Warmer contest for the kids.  Coffee, snacks, and smell goods for the Moms.

Scentsy Pajama Party - come in your most comfy jammies & house slippers.  Best pajama outfit wins a prize! 

Food & Scentsy - for those who LOVE to eat we can do a Build your own Salad party, Mexican Fiesta, Build your own Sundae party, Chocoholic party, Pop-Sational Party.

I love to play Bunco!  Do you need to fill a slot?  I'm in and I'll bring my smell goods to share with the gang.  Lets have some fun!!!!

October Warmer - Snapshot

Let your photos glow as warmly as the memories they capture.  When Snapshot is switched on, a picture window radiates light ffrom within its frame.  All thats missing from this Premium Full Size Scentsy warmer is your favorite photo.  I placed my son's school photo in the frame and it really is amazing!  It brings out the photo and warms my heart!  I hope that it does the same for you.

Talking to God

Do you do it?  Do you talk to God, the Universe, a higher being, or just talk to yourself?  I decided about a month ago to talk to God every night before I go to sleep and every morning when I wake up.  What do we talk about?  At night I thank him for all of the blessings that he has given me that day.  I thank him for the new customer who has just fallen in LOVE with Scentsy because she saw it at her friend's house and is excited to have a party so she can see and smell everything and share it with her friends, or being invited to come back to a craft fair that I did last year - and I was the very first person they contacted (what an honor), or my child and husband raved about the dinner that I cooked that night, being thankful that I have 2 crazy cats and that my Kili is still with me after over 15 years together.  Whatever thing that touched my heart that day - that is what I give thanks for.  No matter how big or how small. 

In the morning, I thank him for the wonderful day that I am going to have, remind myself that I am open to receive amazing business opportunities today, and give thanks and appreciation for the wonderful things that I have.

Since I have started talking to God, I have received blessings each and every day.  Maybe before this, I didn't really pay attention.  Maybe I was receiving lots of opportunities and blessings but I didn't hear or see it.  Maybe I was focusing on the negative or trying to "chase" too hard so what I was receiving was a lot of nothing!   I have decided to focus on the positive, count my blessings, appreciate the opportunities that come my way, and help the people who loves what I have to offer. 

Are you having a tough time?  Are you struggling in some way?  Are your emotions torn, not sure which direction to go?  You have a choice - rise up and focus on the positive, focus on the good that is around you, gravitate towards people who can lift you up and encourage you - talk to God, or your inner self each night and morning about the positive and successful YOU.  Then listen and receive.

Ahuimanu Fun & Craft Fair

What a fun event!  There were inflatables and carnival rides for the kids, prize giveaways throughout the day, great entertainment, and lots of vendors to browse and shop.  A very special thank you goes out to Tanya for organizing the event - everything went so smoothly and fun was had by all!  We had a light shower blessing of cool Windward rain in the morning and the rest of the day was absolutely beautiful. 


Lots of fun for the kids with the beautiful Koolau Mountains in the background


I love coming out to craft fairs and expos.  I get to talk to and meet with so many people, and get instant feedback on their favorite scents and the warmer designs the they like the most.  Flutter and Just Breathe were the favorite scents of the day and the Grotto and Heavenly plug-in warmers were the favorite warmers.  And I loved seeing kids faces light up with a big smile when they smell Happy Birthday - it always brings a smile to those that smell it.


I also got to reconnect with some very special friends that I hadn't seen in years.  Wendall, Charlene & Tissy had a booth 2 spaces down from me.  I used to be Wendall & Charlene's  Assistant years ago (and I mean YEARS), I remember when Tissy was just an elementary schooler.  She is now grown with a child of her own and another on the way.   I also saw Gina who I used to work with many moons ago.  So many fond memories and lots of hugs all around.

My best memory of the day was when this one family walked by.  I gave one of the guys (a big guy with long hair and sunglasses) my scent sample / business card.  "Want a smell good?" I asked.  He smelled it, came over and said, what is this?  I explained about the warmer with a light bulb instead of a flamed scented candle.  And how the wax is warmed by the light bulb which makes it really safe.  As the wax melts, it makes your whole room smell really good!  He was so excited, he brought the rest of his family over and explained to them all about  Scentsy.  He kept saying, its a light bulb, its a light bulb.  I was so tickled to see how excited they were.  It was like that throughout the day.  I love sharing Scentsy and seeing how excited people get by it.

My next event will be on Saturday, October 1st at the Windward Hoolaulea at the Windward Community College.  It will be from 9:00 am - 8:00 pm.  Come down and visit.  I'll have our NEW solid perfumes, new Fall / Winter scents, and our beautiful warmers on hand.  See you there!

End of Summer Scentsy Bash

Every February and August I host a special Scentsy Bash for my customers and past hosts.  Its my way to show my gratitude and appreciation to my customers and hosts for their continued support of my business throughout the year.   Door prizes, games, snacks, and tons of fun!  We get a sneak peek at our new products for the season and also get a last chance to purchase favorites that may be discontinued at a discount. 

Ms. Myrah was the big winner at my End of Summer Scentsy Bash!  She won the on-time drawing AND the door prize drawing!  Ms. Myrah is such a warm, loving and special lady.    My son just adores her, they have such a special connection.  Whenever I pick up my son from after school care, he is always in Ms. Myrah's office or right beside her helping her with a "special project".    I want to sincerely thank all of my fellow Scentsy-holics and our new Scentsy-holics for coming and making the party so much fun!

The end of Summer opens the door for our new Fall / Winter season!   And in true Scentsy fashion - we have wonderful new products that will Warm the Heart, Enliven the Senses, and Inspire the Soul!  I am so excited to share our new Premium Warmer Line - these warmers are absolutely beautiful and made with exceptional craftsmanship!  Extra time and care are required to create Scentsy's Premium warmers.  Higher-end materials and finishes, decorative ornaments, and distinctive shapes combine to create one-of-a-kind, intricate works of art.  We have also added our Hero Collection featuring our brave Firefighters and Police Officers.

We have 3 new additions to our huggable Scentsy Buddy Family - Scratch the cat, Patch the dog, and Sasha (photo at right)- our first Charitable Cause Scentsy Buddy, in support of the mission of the Ronald McDonald House.  She is adorable!

Scentsy has heard how a lot of you are using our Room Sprays as fragrance.  Well, the room sprays wasn't exactly made to spray on the body, but Scentsy listened and taaaa daaahhh......introducing Scentsy's fresh twist on fine fragrance!  The Solid Perfume!  Five of or most beautiful scents have been reformulated as fine-fragrance perfumes that work with body chemistry. 

Contact me if you would like to see our new Fall / Winter catalog or host a party to smell all the scrumptious new scents.  Or come and visit me on Saturday, September 10th from 9:00 - 3:00 at the Ahuimanu Elementary School Fun & Craft Fair.

Pomegranate - The Jewel of Autumn


Our Perfectly Pomegranate has been on everyone's minds lately.  I have been getting so many orders for Perfectly Pomegranate lately.  Oooh Dawn - I need more Perfectly Pomegranate Scent Packs - Mollie, my Monkey Buddy is fading fast!  Dawn - I want 3 more Perfectly Pomegranate Scent Circles for the car.  Dawn - can I get the 6 back of the Perfectly Pomegranate Travel Tins?  Wow!  I too LOVE our Perfectly Pomegranate.  Its such a sweet scent of dark and juicy pomegranate with a sweet berry finish.  I especially love them in the Scent Packs and Travel Tins .  We spend so much time in our cars that it is so nice to have that comforting and calming scent as you are driving.  No road rage - LOL!!!  So here are a few tidbits about Pomegranates - the Jewel of Autumn!

·         Pomegranates are prized throughout history and symbolizes renewal, romance, and youth for many cultures.  Its seeds are rich in antioxidants with an energizing aroma.

·         Pomegranates are symbolic of prosperity and abundance in virtually every civilization.

·         The name Pomegranate derives from Middle French - pomme garnette - meaning seeded apple.

·         Many scholars believe that the forbidden fruit that Eve indulged in from the Garden of Eden was actually a pomegranate, not an apple.

If you need more Perfectly Pomegranate (or any of our over 80 yummy scents), give me a hollar or visit my website at http://www.dawn-b.scentsy.us/

Sticky Notes of Hope

I've been inspired.  Inspired by a simple act that can lift someone's spirits, make someone laugh, realize that you do matter, that someone cares, that you are loved!  I challenge each of you to leave a Sticky Note with words of encouragement, something silly, or any positive message that comes to your mind for someone to find.  It can be for someone you know or someone you don't.  Leave it for your hubby to find, leave it in an elevator, leave it in a file folder that your co-worker will find.  Have fun and be creative!  Post a photo of your Sticky Notes to your Facebook page and share it with your friends.  If you find a Sticky Note - take a picture with it and share it.  This idea came to me from Heidi Thompson, Scentsy's President.  It so moved me that I wanted to spread a little bit of that ray of hope and sunshine here in Hawaii.  This idea has spread from Idaho via Texas to Hawaii in just an instant.  Lets see where this idea will take us - hopefully around the world!

I posted this one on the bathroom mirror at the Campbell building in Kapolei.

I left this one on my Boss' computer!

The power of one....its YOU!



One person can make a difference - encourage someone who needs a lift, reach out to someone who needs a helping hand, cry with someone when they need a strong shoulder to let out their sorrow, laugh and celebrate with someone when they have met an accomplishment, inspire someone to go after their dream.  You have the power - the power of ONE!

The Wallflower

It just dawned on me that I am a wallflower.  When I go to a new place where I don't know anyone such as a networking group, a party, a grand opening, a graduation event ~ I tend to stay by myself with my arms folded and keep to myself.  I attended my nephew's high school graduation.  After the hugs, kisses, presenting of the lei and wishes of congratulations - we just hung around for about a hour to wait until everyone was ready to leave for our family dinner.  During that hour I should have wandered around and talked to the other families and friends who had gathered for the wonderful occasion.  But instead, I stayed with my hubby and son with my arms folded and am sure that I didn't look very approachable. 

My hubby on the other hand is a wonderful conversation starter.  He loves going into stores and striking up conversations with the sales clerks or chatting with our neighbors.  I on the other hand tend to just look around the store without even talking to a salesperson and I tend to stay in the house and not engage with the neighbors.  This is not a very good sign being that I'm an Independent Consultant and maker of my own destiny. 

I talked to a few friends about my "problem" and they came up with wonderful solutions that I wanted to share.

1.     Smile and say "Hi".   Its the easiest conversation starter of all.   Then ask - "How do you know Jason?"  Something as simple as that can get the conversation going.   Thanks Trish for this one. 
2.     If someone else looks bored and lost - approach them.  They are just as scared as you are.  Say something like - "Is this the first time here with this group?  Its my first time too, I'm Dawn with Scentsy.   And you are?" 
3.     If you are at a networking event and the person that you really want to talk to is in a "rock pile" (you know that cluster of people who are engaged in conversation - hard to break through) - simply tap them on the shoulder as you are passing by and say "I've been meaning to talk to you - come and find me later" and then continue to walk.  They will come and find you.  Trisha gave me this advice.  Gonna try it!
4.     Make it a point to make 3 friends at each event.
I love to help others by referring a customer to them, connecting them with other business owners, helping them with my products or services, or having them come to our Success Builders Hawaii group meetings for business support and ideas.  So I love to learn about what others do and finding out how I can help them.  What is the worst thing that can happen by striking up a conversation?  They can give you the cold shoulder....no big deal.  Or - they can become a great friend and mentor to you.  I have met wonderful people through networking who are great friends and people that I call upon when I need advice or a pep talk when I am down.  Here's to having fun making new and lasting friendships.
