Shiny things and dudes

EEEEEEEEEE!

My Scentsy order arrived! *dances all around*


If you want to buy from my party or if you'd rather, you can always purchase goodies from the great and powerful zallia.








I decided that people are getting Scentsy for the holidays from me. Not all people. Z probably isn't unless she's wanting something and not wanting to buy it herself. Ari probably isn't unless she falls in love with something, simply because her place is pretty much filled to the rafters with Scentsy stuff, and Cass is also unlikely to get any for the same reason Z won't.

Anyway, a party was opened and I bought some stuff for me. Because you might have noticed, but I love Halloween. I also love scented things. This is merely order #1. Give me time and I'll make another.

I settled on Fright Night (plug-in warmer), Ghouls & Ghosts (premium full size), and four scents, which meant I ordered one of the combination sets and then the scent of the month. I had to know whether it was any good!

Cass ordered almost the same thing only hers cost less and she didn't buy the scents.


Ozma investigates the new boxes.



And then the scents. What trickery is this?



The four scents are Autumn Sunset, Pumpkin Marshmallow, CaramelPear Crisp, and Pumpkin Roll. They look so pretty all stacked on top of one another.

They also smell like what you'd expect, given the names. Autumn Sunset is cinnamon-y and smells like some of the better candles you'll find in the Autumn/Halloween sections of stores. Pumpkin Marshmallow is a sweeter take on pumpkin, Caramel Pear Crisp smells very strongly of caramel with an immediate chaser of what I gather is meant to be pear. Mostly I just smell caramel... and sadly it's been eons since I smelled an actual pear. WOE. Finally, Pumpkin Roll is your traditional pumpkin mates with cinnamon scent. All yummy, even if I described them horribly.

I've found that Scentsy is hit or miss with me with the scents. Anything claiming to be overtly vanilla scented smells like ass to me, but some of these probably have vanilla lurking in the mix somewhere and smell really good. *shrug*



Everybody out of their packaging. Look at the ghosts! Torture! Fear! Traditional "boo!" and more. Fright Night is adorable but I've yet to plug it in/assemble it because that sucker is going right in my room.



I hastily did this one which is why G&G isn't assembled properly. There's only one way to put the warming dish on top properly but it's really easy to do unless you're rushing because the camera batteries are dying. :P I forgot, again, to get the little tabs for the plug-in warmers. D'oh!



See? It glows! The dish on top doesn't, but the warmer itself does, and there are cut out eyes which means it throws light around. Now, if I could only get the turn around, bright eyes part of Total Eclipse of the Heart out of my head...


Of course Scentsy is doing maintence right now, so I'll have to edit links back in later.

One last thing, completely unrelated: My quote of the night last night?
If I'm this hot homeless, just imagine...
Said in the most dead serious way possible. Which is a shame, because he was all kinds of good looking but he knew it and was setting off alarms in my head all over the place. (Dead fiance! Two days after he proposed! His heartbreak lead to his being let go from his job which lead to his situation. When I didn't immediately hand over my phone number I was pegged as likely coming out of a bad relationship and why must all the NICE GUYS suffer for the bad boys' actions? WHY? Also, totally not looking to move in with you or anything, just hang out, see where it goes but I totally want to get married, btw. He also managed to cram hooking up in there. Impressive!)

Alas. I require someone willing to laugh at themselves, just a tad.

*looks up the history* My first order had White Sands and Silver Bells, which was the one no one liked. But it's got fans because elsewhere online I see people squee-ing hardcore over it being back. Also, eventually it found a happy home with her mother-in-law, so I stopped feeling bad about saddling her with an impossible scent.
