10 hours of fun

Well it's 10 pm on a Saturday night and I have been working since 10am today. I remember when I used to work 10-10 shifts and I hated it! I would come home exhausted, sore and stressed out.
After a day of delivering, wax slinging and a new recruit I've never felt more energized and happy!

This is what I live for.. days like this that keep me going when things get rough. Delivering can be work. We get rained on, snowed on or full of mud. I crawl over snow banks, go through mud puddles. Sometimes I'll get two or more orders in at a time and it literally takes all day. But I never come home cranky or not loving every second. Because I love it! I love that I get to talk to people.I love seeing a face light up when they see me coming.  I love cuddling babies and puppies.
And the part I love the most is coming home to messages and texts that people are so happy with their product. That it made their day. How many jobs do that? I know before Scentsy I never felt like this.

It's not uncommon for me to work from the second I open my eyes until I go to bed. But that's my choice. I decided when I work. I'm deciding to put in 10-12 hour days and pull all nighters. It never feels like I'm working at all! I feel like I've just spent the day visiting and working with some of my best friends.
  It's true what they say. Find a job you love and you never work a day in your life.

Spring is Here!

 The sun is shining, the birds are singing, it's 6 degrees and Spring in Cape Breton. Finally! Time to put away the winter scents and make room for the light fresh smells of spring!

Every once in awhile Scentsy surprises us with a really awesome deal. Right now you can get the Easter Egg Warmer and 3 spring Scentsy bars for just $36. It's a $60 value!
It comes with Jumpin Jelly Bean, French Lavender and Coconut Lemongrass. Perfect scents for Spring. Three of my favorites I couldn't have picked better my self. The warmer is adorable, I had this one and Easter decorating would not be the same with out this adorable warmer.

We also have the Roosevelt Rabbit, the Cause Buddy available right now. He is an adorable fluffy purple rabbit that will look adorable in an Easter Basket.  The best part is, $7.50 from every single Roosevelt sold will be donated to the Starlight Children's foundation! So not only are you buying the cutest buddy to date ( in my opinion anyway ) but you are helping a really great cause.

Let me know if you would like any info on these great products.

Celebrating Two Years

Two years ago today I made the best decision of my life. I ordered my Scentsy starter kit for $119.

So much has happened in just two short years. I hit director, watched my team grow and earned my first incentive trip to Hawaii! Now in just two years my team is bigger and I will be attending Greece with the top 100 incentive trip earners. I also have two girls from Team Forever Fragrant attending the Bahamas incentive trip!

Scentsy changed my life. It changed my financial situation and it changed me. My husband and I had decided that because he works out of province I would stay home with our daughter. I loved being a stay at home mom but I really struggled with it. It seemed like everyone was out living their life, going to work, school, and I was just sitting home, not accomplishing anything. Then I found Scentsy. It was a little bit of light when I was in a dark place. I went from being just a stay at home mom to a work at home mom.
I am now able to stay home with Dylan but work at the same time.
I see how it's  changed me and so many others. With that $199 I not only got a business but I got a family. A huge family of Scentsy sisters( and brothers) that are always there to support me. Always there to help out.
I get to work with some of my best friends and I party and get paid for it.

It just fits perfectly because I am my own boss, and I set my own hours. When my husband is home for this 7 days I don't have to leave him to go to work. He works with me, or I can do everything I need to do before he comes home. We now have the flexibility to just pack up and go when ever we want. I'm not tied down to a desk job.

I am looking forward to so many more happy years with Scentsy. I decided last year after a rough time in my life that I will  fully commit and do Scentsy full time. I will not be returning to school or work. I live and breath Scentsy. It's my passion and I could never stop doing something I love so much!

No more Comfort, more blogs!



I know my blog posts are few and far between. Blogging is something I really struggle with. The idea of putting it all out there to any one with out the safety of facebook privacy settings is scary. Like everyone being able to read your diary.

One thing I have learned in my almost two years with Scentsy that you won't get anywhere in life sitting around being comfortable. Life starts when you leave your comfort zone. Life is taking chances, trusting your self and living.

I am promising my self no more being comfortable. Every day I will do one thing, big or small that I normally wouldn't do. No obstacle can stop me, because I am my own motivation. I have goals and I will reach them!
