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!

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!
