Scentsy Part 1
Mar. 2nd, 2015 10:44 amAlo, people. (All five of you. Huzzah!) Yesterday started my mini vacation from work. It's mini because I'm only using two days but that gives me four days off. Yay for piggybacking them onto my weekend. The reason is because tomorrow is the anniversary of Dad's death and while it's likely I will not sit around weeping or anything, I didn't particularly want to work either.
Yesterday I went to Cassy's to sniff the new Scentsy testers she ordered. The day before she'd dropped off these lovelies:
Cranberry Glass Nightlight, Cream Glass Nightlight, and Seafoam Fluted Shade, as well as my three bars (two of Cinnamon Bear before it was retired for the season and one of Goody Goody Gumdrop which is a bit off an odd scent but one I think I like).
Not sure if anyone's interested in my ramblings on them but ha! You'll be getting them. If you want pictures of them actually in use, just let me know and I'll make it happen.
( Thoughts and stuff. )
Originally the plan had been to do our sniffing Saturday, too, but she left her testers home. So I went over there yesterday and got to see her new shinies, too. Zen Rock is... y'know, a rock. But it's a nice rock and I know a lot of people who would find it perfect for their decorating needs. It's an element warmer which means it doesn't have a lightbulb but uses a heating element (hence the name!) So if you're not big on light in the bedroom or something, tada. She's currently using it in her bedroom, probably for the light issue.
She also bought Charmer, the original one with the red hearts. I think Scentsy dropped the ball on this in a couple of ways. One, it's expensive, and I know these things aren't cheap, but... yeah. That said, the glass you use to fill the warmer with is actually semi-dulled, so it's definitely not one to get if you're clumsy or you've got kids or pets who might knock it over. None of this is what I meant when I said they dropped the ball, though. They're selling through the heart-charms version and replacing it with a version without the charms. Why not sell little add-on packs of charms, like shamrocks for March, some eggs or pastel bits for Easter/Spring, some red and blue stars for the 4th... you get the idea. I mean, seriously. People are going to hit up their craft store anyway, you might as well try and grab the brand loyalists before they head off to spend their money elsewhere.
All that said, it's definitely one to keep an eye on if that's your thing, or you like them when they give off a lot of light, or you want one you can change to suit the seasons. It's pretty, it's just a lot of wasted potential going on there, that's all.
Crikey, the next bit is going to wind up on its own post because I'm maybe halfway through and it's really long. So... until then?
