Give Thanks Warmer of the Month


The season of Thanksgiving is fast upon us and I am super-excited about setting up my Give Thanks warmer for November.  I love Fright Night and the spooky decor but since receiving my Warmer of the Month a couple of days ago I am itching to display the new one...

See what I mean?  I love it.  Be sure to order Autumn Sunset or Central Park Pralines to go with it.  Pumpkin Roll and Toasted Caramel Sugar are also good ones this time of the year!  Another cute on for November is Plymouth...
I really like the leaf as the top on this one.  The September Warmer of the Month, Montpelier, is still available but no longer 10% off!  It is a fabulous fall decoration as well!

Order Placed!

I am putting together my latest order today.  I am ordering a couple of the Love, Life, Hope warmers...these are perfect for donating for raffles and charity auctions and such.  
I am donating one for our Dig for a Cure event hosted by my daughter's volleyball team.  The event will be amazing as well as a huge promotional opportunity for my Scentsy business.  I am hoping to be a silver level sponsor which will get me a logo on the back of the shirts everyone will buy since your shirt is your ticket to the game.  The goal is to get the entire crowd wearing these pink shirts.  Throughout the exhibition game the sponsors will all be announced and I will donate this warmer to be given away as well.

Kindness...Givers Gain

     I was recently invited to a Business Networking International Meeting.  While I think it is an admirable program I don't think it is a good fit for me.  I am shocked at the cost of a membership, the small size of the group and it's platform.  I would recommend getting involved in a non-profit organization and begin networking from there.  This BNI organization is just like a Twitter Party, only in person.  Everyone walks around with their card and then at the end they "refer" each other to each other...all for only $350 per year, plus a $100 one-time processing fee and another $100 membership dues (I thought that was the $350 but apparently not).  Also you are required to do activities each month to accrue points.  You get points for referrals and one-on-one meetings with other members; bringing a guest gets points too.  Everyone in the room goes around and stands up for a 20 second "commercial" and I am not exaggerating.  I walked away with 2 things.  1.  People will pay for anything.  2.  Givers Gain.

     I say this because the premise of the idea is socially conscious and generous in spirit.  Basically it is built on the referrals.  So the more referrals you put out there for other people the more you gain by them sharing your name and area of expertise.  It is about working together to make a group of people successful.  The problem I have with it is that these people are motivated by money so they are charging money to make money.  If this motivated group of people focused on a charity and worked together for that cause, they would not only be helping the cause but also making the same connections and creating a sense of purpose and teamwork.  I feel like my $8 PTA membership and the contacts I make there and at scouts and anywhere else I volunteer are worth far more than a promise from 29 people that if they run into anyone wanting Scentsy they will give them my name.  I make these connections amidst a spirit of giving...not money but time, energy, intellect.  Giving for the improvement of the community.
     The director of the Kansas City area or district or region, said..."Givers Gain" and I like that.  I often remind myself how I want to live with tidbits of wisdom and this is one I will keep and reuse.  Givers do gain.  Another one I have picked up is..."Leave the woodpile a little higher than how you found it."  To me, this is a reminder to live above the line.  To be the person who picks up the trash in the parking lot instead of running over it.  The people who adopt pets from shelters instead of buying from a super-breeder.  The people who start businesses who are socially conscious and aim to leave this earth as intact as possible.  These are my people.  I want to be these people.

Accepting Christ as my Personal Savior

    When I was 13 I went to church camp at Camp Galilee in southern Missouri.  This was an intense experience and remains firm in my memory.  Every evening we would have a 'service' at The Slab.  We would have a short sermon and sing a bunch of songs designed to make the most of the hormone-ridden teen's emotional state.  We would cry and cling to each other, moved to tears.  I honestly felt as though God was there with us.  I experienced the spirit, but this was not the first time.
     There was a day when I was young, about 10, maybe a little younger.  I was in the field behind my house, bored.  I kicked back in the grass, looking at the sky.  As I lie there staring at the clouds they moved in front of the sun and I felt as though I was asleep but half-awake and the sun began shining between the clouds with distinct 'rays'.  I was frozen and then Jesus appeared to me.  He was Love.  He was Everything.  I got but a moment's taste of the entire universe in that vision.  All was clear and nothing else mattered.  But it was fleeting.  I tried to make it happen again, to no avail.
     There have been times since then, but not nearly as literal.  I think my young mind was so impressionable.  I dreamed my grandfather died the night he died.  But the most powerful surrender I have ever experienced was the last night of church camp when I was 13.  We were at the Slab.  We had a sermon and then there were to be some 'kids' bearing witness to how they received Jesus into their hearts.  I received Jesus into my heart that night.  For real.  I physically felt overwhelmed by the Presence of the Lord, the Spirit.  I proclaimed him my Lord and Savior and from there on my own Discovery of my Spirituality began.  Properly moved and exhausted I felt peaceful and full.  At that moment it was the Answer.  There were no questions.

Buddhism

     The first time I remember hearing he word Buddhism was probably in school.  I remember my parents always being open-minded about religion but I immediately discounted any religion without God, the Almighty Father and Jesus Christ, his only son.  I had a sense of a lesser faith if those simple things weren't even acknowledged.  I was forming the foundation for my spiritual growth.  My parents did an amazing job of keeping all avenues open.
     I lived near an Air Force Base so we had all kinds of Catholics, Assembly of God, Baptists, Jehovah's Witness, Mormons--even Mennonite and Amish.  Those came from the rural areas, not the Base.  When I took confirmation as a 13-year-old, we attended a Catholic mass (which I had done before).  I loved the church and the ceremony, the smells, the robes the beauty of it was breathtaking but I didn't feel the spirit, I wasn't moved.  So off to the Jewish bar mitzvah.  The boy was cute, I remember that and being so insanely bored I could barely stand it.  It seemed very strange to me but I did feel a sense of importance.  I had been to bible schools and activities at Christian Churches and Baptist churches.  I also attended a black church once.  That was an experience.  I loved it there but realized it wouldn't be the same for me there.  I am way too inhibited to fit into that sort of a service.
     I was a praise leader for a while in our contemporary service at the Methodist church.  That was fun and sometimes I felt connected to the spirit...but not to the people as much.  It seems to me, when praying in church, it is with such vigor, it feels forced.  I prefer to open up and listen and that makes it awkward to be the one chosen to give a prayer.  Prayers did not flow from my lips the way it does from my Dad's or my Mom's, Grandma's, Grammy's.  At this time in my life I was pregnant with my son and starting my family.  My daughter was 5-7 years old and my husband was baptized at the church, we were married and had our son, Will.  It was a beautiful leg of my journey and I remember it fondly.  One of the big aha moments of my life came during that time.  It wasn't, however, nearly as powerful as the one I had when I was 13...more on that later!

A Christian Girl's Study of Buddhism

I came into this world a daughter of Christians.  Lots of them.  I was raised a Methodist by moderately liberal (my opinion, of course) parents.  I loved growing up in the church and have memories of this feeling, when I was little, of it being a literal family.  Not just a church family.  I don't know when that distinction was made in my mind, maybe I will figure that out as I study Buddhism.  My earliest memories are of Easter dresses with ruffles and bells and lilies and Grandma Hall's voice during hymns.  I remember the look on the congregation's face as we, the lambs, the angels, cherubs in His flock; sang and lit candles and praised the Lord.  I grew up, experienced my first loss of a loved one, accepted Jesus Christ as my personal savior, was confirmed and became a member; in my own right, of the Methodist Church.  My membership still lies with the Methodist Church and I still consider myself a Christian and talk to Jesus daily.  I believe in God as our Creator and that Jesus is his Son.  I also believe we are evolved.  I also believe in a need for such a thing as religion so people, for the most part, will behave.  I think it has grown grotesquely misshapen over centuries of manipulation by powerful people.  In a way all of these stories from all of these religions once were pure and holy.  As the first teacher told the first lesson the intention was there, to enlighten, to answer questions, to inspire.  These philosophical hills make me crazy and I look for the bridges all the time.  There haven't been any forthcoming thus far so I am taking it upon myself to build one.  Starting with Buddhism.  Buddhism because I find it beautiful and familiar.  I enjoy yoga for exercise.  The religion embraces all aspects I prioritize highly in my life.  Buddhism because I wonder if I am a Buddhist as well as a Christian or instead of a Christian.  I am staying with as well as as long as I can.  Christianity is my foundation.  My roots still grow there.  My awe of God only multiplies and my relationship with Jesus only becomes more detailed the more I learn and breathe.  With every moment I acknowledge and recognize I become curiouser and curiouser about all of it; and more gracious.  I want to learn when we became aware.  Of humanity.  I want to learn when I became aware of the distinction between church and life.  When did I start seeing the holes?  These are my questions and here is my search for the answers.

     This journey is becoming rockier and it seems, some days, as though I am not keeping up with climbing. Each day I learn something new. Like it is very difficult to get the floor vacuumed when you are a MOM, soccer coach (only in the technical sense), a PTA President, Scentsy Certified Consultant, wife, athlete, yogi, self, cook, chauffeur, etc. The pressure put on women these days is staggering. I am surprised at how much I can get done in a day and how quickly my mood and energy level can go from as high as it needs to be to even take on these daily responsibilities to so low that I can barely get dinner made, a load of laundry finished and the kids to their activities.
     My daughter is now a freshman and she LOVES high school. She made the volleyball team, which is HUGE and she has classes with her friends from previous years and there is always something to participate in. Will is also adjusting to 2nd grade well. He seems to have forgotten his penchant for acting and shouting out.
     My trick is to put the stones in big ones first...being a Mom, being Misty, being a Wife...then we put in the smaller ones like PTA and Scentsy...then if we shake it up a bit we can even fit more in; such as cooking, gardening and spending time with friends. I have my off days. I cannot always practice what I preach for I am human. I know what I need to do but sometimes it is hard to make myself do it. So today I need to pass out some brochures for Scensty, submit a grant application for PTA and pick up Kelsey at volleyball at 5:30p. Then I have to hold soccer practice, cook dinner, do a little laundry, ensure everyone is ready for school tomorrow.
     Scentsy makes this possible. My Scentsy business is flexible. I can schedule Scentsy around soccer, PTA, volleyball and exercise. I get to have some relaxing girl time when I want it and I can make a little spending money and win some amazing prizes. I love my job. I love being a mom; even when it means spending an hour in the car waiting for practice to get over. Or when I am learning soccer right along side my 7-year-old son.

It has been a great family weekend.  We visited friends on Friday evening and the kids each had a friend spend the night over the weekend.  We also all got new haircuts and styles and today their grandmother is taking them to the movies.  I am beginning to get restless and nervous about being PTA President and impatient about my business.  I just really can't wait to get started with the business FOR REAL.
My fantastically talented husband is working on a website for New Era hats so he is constantly in front of a computer and I need some attention.  I definitely need to get back in the gym.  That usually cures me of the restlessness.  I have been researching a couple of things for my sad little garden.  It is really sad this year.  I have neglected it and there are ants.  I have to get something done about that today.  I am also wanting to caulk the windows and line the cabinet shelves and drawers again.

The Scentsy business is picking up momentum while I am registering my daughter for high school, learning my new role as PTA President, learning how to be a soccer coach and supporting my husband in his business ventures and "real job" while keeping the house running smoothly and making healthy meals. I know we have all had our moments of whining about the thankless job we have as WAHMs but at the same time I have to remind myself of how it used to be...

I used to get up in the morning and get ready for work while "keeping Will busy" with TV or something while I put on a little make-up and put on the lovely khakis or black pants (depending on retailer) and shirt emblazoned with either a Circuit City or a Blockbuster logo. I then scooped him up tossed him in the car and drove him to his babysitter where I would drop him off at around 8:20a. I would then begin my morning commute. At it's worst I was driving over an hour through the busiest part of the city out west while I lived as far on the east side of the city as I could be and still be considered a suburb. I would work until between 5 or 6p and then actually leave between 5:30 and 6:30p. This would put me home between 6:30p and 7:30p. Many nights I would stop at the store and pick up something to eat and that would extend it even further. We ate out so much I am ashamed. I had, on average, about 4 hours a day with my children and I wasn't very pleasant for probably an hour or two of it since that time was spent rushing and being frustrated. I cry about the time I lost there in pursuit of the "American Dream" but then I look forward again and am grateful for what I have been blessed with...



A great, supportive husband who agrees we should keep family first...great kids who make it a pleasure to be a mom. I am truly blessed, owning my Scentsy business is another aspect of my personal dreams. A way for me to carve out a little something for me, for my ego, for my checking account...for me.

Maybe I Will Get a Routine Someday....

As it turns out we are not only about to be soccer parents but we are now soccer coaches.  I don't understand what happened to my peaceful quiet existence.  Savoring every moment of staying home with my children.  Taking time for myself at the gym.  I am not saying I am no longer doing these things as I was afraid would happen but actually my ability to do both seems to have improved.  I might be busy all day and work long hours as PTA president, chauffer, Scentsy Consultant, Mom (not to mention friend, sister, daughter, wife) and still be able to be in the moment when my son comes up to cuddle me in the evening and my teenager comes in to complain about how embarrassing her step-dad's socks are.  Throughout my journey I have been trying to find this and hold onto it thinking I need to cling to it and never let it go but the truth is if I focus on living it then it expands and rewards me with more and more.  I know I am blessed with gifts and I am fortunate enough to be able to pursue them right now.  Thanks to my Scentsy business and my supportive husband!  Thanks, Chris, for believing in me yet again!

PTA Enrollment is in Full Swing!

Life has become crazy with open enrollment at the Elementary School, Scentsy and the squeezing-in of as many summer activities as we still can!  I am looking forward to school starting because I really am excited about having a regular routine again and I CAN'T WAIT to get back to five times a week at the gym.  I am learning how precious these years are and how fast it is flying by.  My daughter has begun volleyball camp at the high school and my son is beginning soccer, which, of course, my husband and I are coaching.  I sound as if I might be complaining but I really am not...I love my job, my business, my volunteering....all because it is flexible and allows me the freedom to prioritize and care for my family first and then fit business in around the more important stuff!!

Things are picking up around here...

Things around here are picking up.  We have had a great week with a Royals game; a day with friends at their house, playing in their pool; then Sunday, a day of psuedo-rest.  Monday had me back in the grind with a PTA budget meeting, visit to the bank to change signatures on the account and 3 random phone calls.  So that was about 5 hours yesterday.  I managed to make it to the gym and dragged my daughter along.  I think she is going to be surprised at how hard volleyball camp is going to be next week.


My Scentsy world is getting bigger and bigger and I am so excited to have some income along with the flexibility of remaining a mom first.  Will is getting ready to start soccer and my gorgeous daughter is about to start high school and I know I won't have to miss a minute of it!!  I think I need to write a letter to some salon owners and tell them about Scentsy. My friend who sells Scentsy candles at her salon does really well.  She just puts the sample testers in her clients' laps and has her warmers all over, providing beautiful lighting and soothing fragrance.  Next thing you know, her customer has written another check for her new Scentsy warmers and bars.  I think tanning salon owners would sell Scentsy pretty easily as well.  I think I will be writing a letter next...back to "work"!

Vacation Is Over...for awhile at least!

I am terribly late on blogging...we had a great time, though, hosting some friends from Colorado.  They came in on Thursday evening and we did a lot and lounged a lot.  Now I am trying to catch up on some housework and of course my business which has been blooming over the weekend.  I have a new recruit from Alabama and I am excited to have started my team with such a sharp woman!  PTA is in full swing with a budget meeting coming up and open enrollment right behind it.  I am finding the hardest part of PTA is getting all of our schedules to jive.  We all have different availability and lifestyles.  It is challenging to find a day and time when these busy moms, career women, business owners, athletes, wives...can get together.

Not only did we have a fantastic time with friends this weekend, but we also had our family portrait taken.  It is convenient that our friend is a photographer.  He is so generous to have shared his talent with us.


All in all a terrific weekend.  A staycation for us and then in September we will invade their home...

Cub Scout Camp

So there I am; sun beating down on me, standing in knee-deep grass.  I have been properly doused with deet and sunblock.  I am wearing a hat and close-toed shoes.  My husband told me I was pushing the limits with a tank top, but I argued that I had layered 2 of them and reminded him I would be standing in knee-deep grass with the sun beating down on me, so I was going to wear the tank tops.  






I was catapulted back to my youth when I spent my first grade year in Brownies.  I went to meetings and went through the little ceremonies and I was so excited to go to day camp.  But I was in no way prepared for what I was about to encounter at girl scout day camp.  First they made me wear heavy tennis shoes and socks.  And it was hot.  Then I had to wear a hat that itched my head and made me sweat.  There were bugs all over, the grass itched my legs and a girl was stung by a bee and was taken away in an ambulance.  I couldn't wash my hands very well from the milk-jugs-hanging-from-tree faucet and my sandwich was wet from the cooler.  I never went back and I never did anything involving scouts.  Until my senior year when my boyfriend, now husband, was working on his Eagle Scout.  I went on a camp-out with his troop and actually had some fun.  I wasn't a fan of the sharing showers with whatever stranger happened to be staying at the camp ground, but I had a faucet and a plug so I could blow-dry my hair at least.  Over the years I have learned a great deal of camping and have gone camping a little.  I wouldn't say I enjoy it but I know my husband likes it and I can have a good time so we dabble...but I digress...
After recovering from my flashback I decided my son was going to like this and I was going to just enjoy it with him because even though it isn't me, it isn't about me.  So I dove in.  I fished and made crafts and shot a slingshot and watched a helicopter land and had a fire truck spray me down and climbed across a monkey bridge and directed the skits we performed and this is how I ended up...




and this is how WE ended up...




Now I still contest that 5 days is a long time.  He was exhausted as was I but I would not trade last week for any other in my life.  I got to do this and help the pack because I have my own Scentsy business.   


I make my own hours and work when I want.  I am not saying it just happens;  I do have to facebook and twitter and blog and send out emails and keep making connections but I love doing those things anyway and building my brand has become a challenge for ME.  Raising my own kids is my career, Boutique Scents is how I make some money and have some fun.  Give me a call or email me and I can share this amazing opportunity with you, then you can have fun going to cub scout camp too!  ( I think maybe a spa day should be next)

Big Savings When You Switch To Scentsy Candles

Save over $140 throughout the year using Scentsy Candles instead of traditional jarred candles. Not only do Scentsy Warmersadd fragrance your home, they add style as well. You aren’t left with an empty, charred piece of glass. Instead, you have a decorative touch.
Wickless Scentsy Candles provide fragrance and expression and also improve quality of life and health. Scentsy Warmers only heat the candle bars enough to release scent. The odorless wax remains. There is no flame burning harmful chemicals into the air. With traditional candles, the wax and wick both slowly disappear as you burn it. Imagine where the chemicals from the wax and wick go!? The residue remains, only you can’t see it…it is in the air you breathe, in the fabric of your home, in your carpets. With Scentsy, the warmer only gets warm enough to release the scent, nothing else, you are left with an unscented wax bar. This is what makes Scentsy Flameless Candles the safest candles. There are many ways to Buy Scentsy. You can Buy Scentsy Online or call me at 866-927-5977 and I can help you purchase Scentsy Candles and Warmers. If you would like to Buy Scentsy Candles Online, just click on any 'buy now' link then click 'place an order' and begin your transaction. If you would like to contact a Scentsy Consultant near you, please contact me and a member of my team will contact you.




Seriously, folks, this is such a blessing in my life right now.  Our family is all headed in the same direction with the same mission and I think, in part, it has to do with us starting our Scentsy business!  I love that family is first and there are always bits and pieces of time to get my work done around the kids' schedules.  I love that I get to spend afternoons by the pool watching my son play with his friends.  I especially love that my teenage daughter is not spending the days alone or watching her brother while I work.

and Craziness ensues on the homefront



Now offering the FREEDOM BUNDLE...great for 4th of July AND Christmas...

So my Thursday, May 27th was spent going to Costco, assisting with an event at the Elementary School, dropping off a check for the summer movie program season tickets for HPE, dinner then the PLMS awards show.  Kelsey was alarmingly moody but I think she is just sad about leaving the comfortable middle school cocoon.  Friday greeted me with the final bus stop walk, hurried ride to school with the teenager then off to my own little weekend of debauchery.  
This process is usually pretty simple.  My parents watch Will part of the weekend, Chris' parents watch Will part of the weekend and Kelsey goes to the lake with her grandmother.  This was not the case this year.  Kelsey wanted to attend some end-of-the-school-year festivities and my mom couldn't make it to our house until 4:30p and the kids were getting out of school at noon.  Of course Kelsey's party was to start immediately after school. So I managed to make arrangements for Kelsey to do what she wanted and for Will to play with a neighbor friend long enough for my mom to get here.  Thank you, Debbie!  Then, Will began throwing up...8 times Saturday and we finally got rid of the fever yesterday at noon so he is really anxious to get his summer on.  We are heading to the pool...

I can start taking orders Tuesday for our 4th of July Special...so cute!

Today I am gearing up for the trip to Costco to get the 200 candy bars for the end of the year bash at HPE and also have to pick up supplies for our annual 4-day float trip...my entire afternoon/evening is occupied with PTA and end of school stuff so this is my unwinding this morning.

Having a great time with the Scentsy business and starting Tuesday, June 1st I will be able to take orders for the Freedom Bundle.  A fantastic deal...when you click on it give it a minute to load up...you will be pleasantly surprised!
If you already have the candy shoppe warmer you just need to get the new topper and you are ready for Independence day!

Wednesday, May 26, 2010


     Last night after dinner I realized I had made a sale on my Scentsy website!  So in the last 2 days I have made 1 sale per day just by being on the internet.  That is super-exciting to me.  I have much PTA stuff and talent shows and award shows and end-of-the-year stuff to do over the next couple of days.  I am so glad I am able to schedule family first and be involved with the schools.  

     I am needing to recruit a host for a party...I would like someone to "host" an  online or book party so I can gather up some orders into a party and give someone hostess credit for them :)  If you sell $150 the shipping is on us and you can get $15 in free product and an item at 1/2 price.  And that's just the minimum.  These products are safe, effective, efficient and don't leach chemicals and soot into the air in your home. It is so hard to pick my favorites.  I love the Scentsy plug-ins for bathrooms.   


The Scentsy full-size warmers are great for any room...I have one in my office, in my kitchen, in Kelsey's room (of course the zebra one) and in the living room.  I turn them on for fragrance sometimes and for subtle lighting other times.  I love the way they soften a room and fill it with fragrance.


Back to work on PTA...still need to find a Fundraising Chair for our trash bag sales initiative...any HPE parents interested?  It is actually an easy one to chair, at least we aren't doing that Katherine Beich stuff anymore :P

Scentsy is my answer!?


The truth is, I secretly thought they were cute from the start but I didn't have any money to spend and I was so used to telling myself, "I don't NEED it, it's just something else to dust," I wouldn't even let myself look at the catalog.  I have been searching (look back at hideously misguided attempts at blogging left here with huge gaps) for my purpose, my calling.  My mom keeps telling me I can't find it because I am doing it (being a SAHM) and I finally agree now that I have started a Scentsy business.  I researched the company and spent some time with the product and decided (WITH my husband's support) to pursue Scentsy Candles.  I have had 2 "parties" in the last month and expect to get a commission check right off the bat.  


I get to schedule family first, then pta and volunteering, exercise, cleaning house.  Then, when I get around to it, I do my Scentsy.  Hopefully soon I can pay someone else to clean the toilets so it doesn't even have to be on my radar! 


I love that I get to come up with my own branding and design for my Scentsy website.  They also have a standard site for all consultants and they give it to you free for the first 3 months.  https://boutiquescents.scentsy.us/Home 





This product is one-of-a-kind and everyone loves it so take a look... boutiquescents.com  


Love, love the warmers.  And the scents are amazing.  This all sounds generic but it is so true.  One of my neighbors is a Partylite consultant and she loves her Scentsy Warmer.  My other neighbor is thinking of getting rid of her candles/candle decor all-together...I think I might do that too!


Some people have Scentsy home parties, some people have Scentsy basket parties (book parties); some consultants sell Scentsy at trade shows and fairs.  Start up is only $99 and it is the hottest direct marketing plan out there right now! http://www.boutiquescents.com/join
