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!
