Shower Gel vs Shower Cream....whats the diff?

Did you know that Scentsy has launched a brand new product line - Layers by Scentsy?  This amazing bath, body and laundry care line lets you build your daily fragrance ~ layer by layer.   

Imagine - starting your morning with a delightful shower using your Coconut Lemongrass shower cream.  You jump out of the shower and grab your fluffy Coconut Lemongrass scented towel thanks to our new Washer Whiffs and Dryer Disks laundry care products.

Then moisturize your skin with our luxurious body lotion and body butter for those extra dry areas (heels and elbows).  Before you head out the door you spray yourself with body spray for a little extra zing.   As you begin your day at work, you put on some Sugar Cookie hand cream.

As you turn in for the night, you snuggle in your Coconut Lemongrass scented blankie and sheets.  Ahhhhh!

So the question for today is, whats the difference between the shower gel and the shower cream.  Our Shower Gel is a lightly foaming gel the refreshes with amazing Scentsy fragrances and comforts with vitamin B5 which is known to promote healthy skin.  Our Shower Cream will turn your daily shower into a pampering experience.  Emollient soybean oil enriches this luscious cream to smooth and moisturize your skin. 

When I first saw shower cream in the catalog I thought, why in the world do you need a cream in the shower?  So ok, I didn't know it was soap.  I thought it was some sort of lotion...DUH!  The difference between the two is that the shower cream lathers more and the lather is much softer and more emollient.  Just a little bit will make your poufy bath sponge very sudsy.  And it rinses off clean, no residue or greasy feeling.

So for me, my preference is the Shower Cream.  Both the Gel and the Cream are fabulous but because I tend to have drier skin, I like the softness and moisture in the Shower Cream better.  Happy sudzing.... 

Hugs,

Dawn

Big Little Inspiration

Have you had one of those days where it turned out nothing like you had planned.  You go through your day, same old, same old then BAM - a big little inspiration hits you upside your head.  That day for me was last week Saturday.  I participated in the Re-Discover Ewa Beach event which was coordinated by the Ewa Beach Community Based Development Organization.  First off, I really didn't expect much from this event. I had a little 6 foot space, it was their very first event, it was free for vendors to participate.  So I didn't expect much at all.  Boy was I wrong.  The event was run very smoothly, they had awesome entertainment continually throughout the day, there was food vendors and games for the kids, all of the vendoers were so warm and welcoming and the steady stream of happy and interesting customers kept me busy throughout the day.

But the biggest little inspiration came in the form of my neighbor.  Cyane.  She designed and created the cutest little bottle cap magnets, necklaces, and pulleys.  She had her own business cards, she recruited her friends and family to help her man her table, and at the end of the day, she treated her helpers to some shaved ice to thank them for their hard work.  I noticed throughout the day she would call people over to her booth and create excitement.  She even changed her marketing strategy by offering special discounts as the day progressed.  Oh, did I mention she was all of 9 or 10 years old?  I was totally amazed by her creativity, tenacity, focus, and drive to succeed that day. 

Maybe some of us can take a lesson from this 10 year old.  She was poised, confident and passionate about her creations and her business.  If you have a passion for something, take that chance and give it a whirl.  Step out of your comfort zone and stretch a little bit further. 

I know that one day she will be an amazing business woman.  When I grow up, I want to be just like her.

Bring Back My Bar - Dawn's Review #10

Gosh - its been so fun reviewing our Bring Back My Bars for January 2012!   The last 2 scents to be reviewed are Cinnamon Cider and Vanilla Walnut.  Remember.....the Bring Back My Bars are available in January only - so make sure that you stock up on your favorites!

Cinnamon Cider - I'm not much of a cinnamon gal, but I really like this scent.  It smells a bit like apple pie, but softer.  Tart apples balanced with aok and spicy cinnamon.

Vanilla Walnut - Wow!  You can really smell the walnut and vanilla in this one.  This scent is Heidi's pick!  A warm fragrance with roasted walnut and sweet vanilla bean.  Yum!

Here is a list of all 20 Bring Back My Bars. 

Bring Back My Bars - Dawn's Review #9

We got 4 more bars to review.  This has been so fun sharing and reviewing our Bring Back My Bars!  Today I will be reviewing Spiced Grapefruit & Cranberry Spice.

Spiced Grapefruit - Wow!!!!   The grapefruit scent really comes through big time on this one.  I love it!!!!  Its a bright, fruity scent.  Mandarin and Bergamot citrus perfectly balanced with spicy Coriander, Nutmeg & All Spice.

Cranberry Spice - Mmmmmm...this one is a really warm scent.  A generous blend of cloves and ginger help define the sophistication of tart cranberries.  This one is Orville's pick!

My last review will be on Cinnamon Cider & Vanilla Walnut.  See you tomorrow!

Bring Back My Bar - Dawn's Review #8

I had such a great day yesterday!  I took my pouch of smellies to visit some friends at my old office, they loved smelling our yummy scents and I had such a great time seeing them again and catching up!  Everyone got some great new scented wax for their Scentsy warmers ~ and I, being the host of this impromptu pouch party, get some Scentsy for free and 1/2 price!  But...theres a BONUS!  I get DOUBLE the 1/2 price rewards this month!  Yahhhhooooo!   So, 2 lucky people will be getting a call from me very soon telling them to pick one more item at 1/2 price!  I love my job!!!! 

Now for my daily review....

Mad About Mint - yep, thats pretty minty alright.  Its not a really strong scent though, very nice and bright.  A blast of mint - spicy peppermint, spearmint, and wintergreen. 

Flower Shop - this one smells like the stems of flowers.  Just like walking into a flower shop.

Bring Back My Bar - Dawn's Review #7

Today I'm reviewing Twilight and Taj Mahal

Twilight - this was a big hit with my nieces!  When they see Twilight, they associate it with the movie.  This is a romantic scent of soft florals and clean ocean air.  Its not too flowery, its more clean and fresh smelling.

Taj Mahal - when I first smell this scent, a picture of a temple comes to mind.  It smells a little like incense (not too strong though) and a bit floral.  A soft oriental fragrance built on a base of musk and amber with subtle florals.

These Bring Back My Bars are available in January 2012 only so stock up on your favorites.  www.dawn-b.scentsy.us/buy

Bring Back My Bars - Dawn's Review #6

Today I'm reviewing Bubblegum and Spring Clean!

Bubblegum - I LOVE this one.  How in the world does Scentsy make the wax smell like bubblegum, because that's exactly what it smells like.  Big, pink, bubblegum!  The true scent of baseball card bubblegum - sugar and cotton candy with a hint of mint.

Spring Clean - This one is a very clean scent, it reminds me fresh clean laundry, drying in the spring sun.  Refreshing spring air and morning dew blended with orange blossoms and crisp white florals.

Bring Back My Bars - Dawn's Review #5

Happy New Year!!!  Hope that you all had a very fun and safe new years celebration.  Ours was very quiet.  We spent the night making smores in our backyard and drinking pineapple sparkling wine!  It was a beautiful night.

We are half way through my Bring Back My Bar reviews.  Today I'll be reviewing Cherry Almond Pie and Toasted Caramel Sugar.

Cherry Almond Pie - Mmmmmm, this one smells yummers!   I can smell the almond and the graham cracker pie crust and the yummy pie filling.  I smell a hint of strawberry and cherry.  The description reads Orville's favorite dessert - graham crackers, sweet almond, cream and cherries.

Toasted Caramel Sugar - oooooohhhh, this one is sweet and guud!  It smells just like the name - I smell the caramel and the sugar.    Warm milk with caramelized sugar and toffee, all swirled together with the scent of silky sweet vanilla musk.

If you would like to smell these and any of our other Bring Back My Bars, please contact me at dawnb2006@yahoo.com to schedule your personal smelling appointment or invite your friends over for some Scentsy fun!

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!

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.

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!

Scentsy Scents -- Comfort & Joy, December Scent of the Month 2011

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!

Note to Santa

Dear Santa!  My family and friends have been REALLY GOOD this year so I want to give them something great for Christmas - Scentsy!  To help with my Christmas shopping, Dawn has put together a Scentsy shopping guide with great gift ideas.  I will check her website so I can pick the perfect warmers and other goodies for my friends. 

Love ~  Me
