A funny!

This is SO TRUE!

You get your value and money worth with Scentsy!

Knock-Off's and wanna be scents are EVERYWHERE....

And are almost always cheaper.  BUT....

Scentsy scents LAST longer, so for the value, you get more for the money!  Also, Scentsy is made with non-toxic chemicals.  Who KNOWS what's in the "other guys" scents!


Just another reason to try Scentsy!!  ;)

**July ONLY**

OKAY, so it's ALMOST July!!  Know what that means??  No??  Well here, let me tell you!!


It means...
That in the wonderful world of Scentsy!...
20 BRING BACK MY BARS will be available!!  July only!!

So, what are "Bring Back My Bars"?  (I'll abbreviate as BBMB)  BBMB's are Scentsy scents that were once discontinued.  The public voted on them, and after nearly 4 MILLION votes, the top 20 are being brought back for JULY only!! 

This means your FAVORITES (and more than likely your NEW favorites if you are new to Scentsy) are available again!  Woohoo!! 

For a list of BBMB's you can visit my FB Scentsy page and click through this photo album...

Know what else is super cool in July?  THIS "Ohana" warmer! 

What screams summer more than ocean blue "waves" and FLIP FLOPS???  (If you are from the south like me, you know it takes pretty cold weather to get us out of our comfy flip flops!)
(To order, go to www.allisonmckenzie.scentsy.us starting July 1st and search for "Ohana"! 10% off the entire month of July!)


Alright, so consider this - July means what?  BBMB......cute new warmer....... and possibly the start to your own amazing Scentsy business??  Now I've said this before, and I'll say it again...ok?  So listen.....and I mean this EVERY TIME I SAY IT.  Scentsy has been the BEST decision for me!!  I am a stay at home mom who has tried numerous "sell this product and get rich" SCHEMES.  None of them "work" like Scentsy has worked for me...because Scentsy is not a SCHEME.  The reason is because people NEED Scentsy...everyone could use a great gift to give to someone!  And who doesn't love a fresh smelling home for guests?  Scentsy is fun, fresh and unique!!

Well anyway, I believe July is the perfect month for YOU to start YOUR Scentsy business. (Not to mention, because these BBMB scents WILL SELL and you will have a TREMENDOUS first month with Scentsy!!) Remember, Scentsy provides you with all the tools needed to start.  Train at home, ONLINE!  And speaking of training.....I TRAIN MY TEAM MEMBERS WITH TOOLS, RESOURCES, IDEAS and FRESH SELLING TIPS FROM THE DAY THEY SIGN UP UNTIL......well......until they don't need me anymore!  But I have never had a team member "not need me"...because we become such great friends that we just BUILD OUR BUSINESSES TOGETHER!!

Think about that.  And find me on FB once you decide to join!  www.facebook.com/findscentshere.scenty

 

Spiritual Alphabet

Our oldest daughter is 2 years old, and she's just starting to learn her ABC's pretty well.  It amazes me how such a little person can soak in and remember so much!

Well, one of her new favorite books (given to her at birth, but we are just now allowing her to get her little hands on it) is her Spiritual Alphabet Book.  We are Christians, and instilling the love of Christ in our girls at young ages is very important to us.  What a wonderful way to do that!  A spiritual alphabet book!  We love it so much, that I wanted to share with you the SPIRITUAL ALPHABET!! 

*****First - to give credit where it is NEEDED.  The book is "My Spiritual Alphabet Book" by Holly Bea.  The illustrations are wonderful and colorful, perfect for little ones to keep their attention!  Illustrations done by Kim Howard.*****

This is my Spiritual Alphabet - God made it just for me.  So when I count my blessings, I can use my ABC's!

I absolutely adore this book, as does my 2 year old!  I am so happy to see her learning and most importantly reading and beginning to understand in "easy words" the love of God.  Such a neat book....ALL parents need this book!! 



Smooth *Summer* Feet

It's that time of year!!  Summer!!

Fun in the sun - sand, water, BBQ's, swimsuits and sandals! 

Wait....Sandals??

What about our WINTER feet that have been stuck inside closed toe shoes and boots??

Dry, rough feet are NOT cute in sandals -

no matter what pretty color nail polish you pick out!!

Well, you can pay for a pedicure of course, and what lady doesn't love a good pedi?!  But for those of us who spend most of our time at home with children - you know, wake up and do everything revolving around your precious babies then at the end of the day realize you barely ate or had a bathroom break...well, you more than likely don't have time for a pedicure!

And you of course can try products that "shave" your rough skin down...like those egg-shaped deals that literally shave your skin off.  (It doesn't hurt, but think about it....ewww!)

Well here's what I do:

All you need are 2 products that will last you a long time!

That's right!  This is all you need for Smooth Summer Feet!

I use Stridex Naturally Clear on my FEET after a nice shower or bath. 2 pads are needed (one per foot).  Then slather on some nice skin care lotion.  This is just Equate brand from Wal-Mart - doesn't have to be expensive!  And I prefer non-scented on my feet!  (Even though, yes - I am a Scentsy consultant and Scentsy has AMAZING smelling body lotions that I use on my body.  I simply prefer non-scented on my feet!)

The acne pads slough off dead skin and adds a little medication which kills bacteria.

The lotion, of course, adds moisture!

Please note: ANY acne pad will work.  HOWEVER, Stridex Naturally Clear does not have alcohol - which I assume would DRY your feet even further.  That is the reason I choose the Naturally Clear.  :)  If all you have are acne pads with alcohol, give it a try still and be sure to moisturize those feet afterwards!

I at first did this for a week, and now that my feet look and feel better, I keep it up every few days as I feel necessary!

Now that your feet are SMOOTH -

what are your favorite nail polish colors for summer?? 

Mine this year are bright purples, blues and of course PINK!

(For information on the amazing smelling Scentsy lotion I spoke of, please visit my website at www.allisonmckenzie.scentsy.us and search under Layers by Scentsy)



DIY Laundry Detergent with Scentsy Washer Whiffs

Has everyone seen the big craze on Pinterest - making your own laundry detergent??  I have found several different recipes and some say it lasts 5-6 months...which is amazing!  Some recipes are for powder detergent while others are liquid.  Some are scented and some are not!  And of course my favorite is NON-SCENTED!  Why??  Because I'm a Scentsy consultant and can scent my own!! 

Well here's what I've done:
I followed this recipe found here - beingcreativetokeepmysanity.blogspot.com

And I paired it with these Washer Whiffs from Scentsy:

My Team's favorite Scent: QUIVER

Also comes in: Coconut Lemongrass

These Washer Whiffs smell amazing!  Towels, sheets, clothing, etc!  I cannot say enough about the "Quiver" scent...there is just something about it, when you nestle yourself in your clean Scentsy smelling sheets - well, you QUIVER!  Smells amazing!

And then, after you wash them with your handmade laundry detergent and Layers by Scentsy Washer Whiffs - you throw them in the dryer with these:

Layers by Scentsy Dryer Disks!

These Dryer Disks are the finishing touch to long lasting AMAZING smelling laundry!  Scentsy scents are known to last the longest of any scents out there! 

So you definitely should give this combo a try if you are considering DIY laundry detergent!  The Scentsy products work *best* with non-scented detergents, however I have used both scented (store bought) and non-scented (DIY) detergents and the scents smell amazing either way!  Trust me on this!!!  ;)





**** 2016 Update:  I am no longer a Scentsy consultant, but I bet you know plenty of ladies (and men!) who are.  I have removed my Scentsy website address but still intend on keeping this recipe up.  I love it...and I still LOVE my Scentsy Washer Whiffs.  :)

Below are our Scentsy Buddies - perfect for your child!!  I have two babies (2 years old and 4 months old) and they both love their buddies.  These stuffed animals come with a SCENT PAK (in any scent you like!).  This Scent Pak is inserted in the back of the Buddy by a zipper...and it fills your childs space with so much fun fragrance!  As they take them on the go, the smell reminds them of home!  Such a calming and soothing affect for young ones. 

Below, we have our great new bath, body and LAUNDRY line, called Layers by Scentsy.  These are fabulous!  I especially love the Dryer Disks (a refreshing way to scent your clothing!) and the solid perfume (a perfume stick that rubs on like deodorant!  Leaves no residue and smells fabulous!)
