Spring???

Where did you go??? Last week was so beautiful. I was able to fitness walk outside instead of on the treadmill, but than wham we got slammed with some snow. I am not really bummed because it is Spring, it is the end of March and we are moving into April. How long can it last? Even today was mild albeit snowing at some points. Oh, and I did get to see the flowers bloom. Crazy, you think I am crazy? I really am not that far gone yet. : ) My Hibiscus tree (inside) is blooming and it just gives everyone a taste of Spring, even my husband, who usually will complain about my houseplants. He complains because he is often the caretaker who gets stuck watering them. However, today he pointed the beautiful blossom out to me. The dogs enjoyed romping in the snow and the kiddies enjoyed playing in the fresh air on the porch. We have a few cool days but they will be nice and sunny. I am hopeful next week we will see higher temps and greener pastures. Until then I am enjoying the crackling fire and feeling cozy with my family.

Don’t forget our Scentsationals give-away ends soon so be sure and get your entries in. I am warming some cinnamon vanilla now and it smells so good. We have so many great reviews and give-aways coming up so make sure you subscribe to the blog and like us on Facebook so you don’t miss any. Happy Spring everyone!!!

ScentSationals Warmer & Wax Review and Give-Away!!!

Carolyn — Mon, 21 Mar 2011 18:40:00 +0000

I was delighted when I heard ScentSationals wanted me to review a warmer and wax. I got to pick a warmer and I chose the Antique Greek as I loved the pottery look and felt it would go well with my decor. I picked three wax scents and chose, No Place Like Home, Black Raspberry Vanilla and Vanilla Bean. My warmer and wax arrived shortly after and I absolutely love the design of the warmer. It definitely has that pottery feel and look I love.

The warmer uses an included 25 watt light bulb to heat the wax and that really appealed to me because with little ones around, candles can be dangerous.

The top of the warmer has a well for holding the wax cubes as they melt. The top is very nicely glazed so when you pour out the wax all you need is to wipe it with a paper towel and it is clean and ready for the next use

The warmer has a nice length of cord that allows you options in placement. The cord also has a switch to turn the warmer on and off without having to unplug it. I set it up in my kitchen and the first scent of wax I chose to use was the “No Place Like Home.” You simply break off 1 wax cube and put it in the warmer and turn it on. In no time the wax starts to melt and release a fabulous aroma that filled my whole house. I loved the smell of the “No Place Like Home” the comforting essence of sweet cinnamon, warm clove and fresh nutmeg accented with subtle nuances of fresh basil and eucalyptus filled my home with a pleasing aroma that made me feel comfortable and cozy. I went out for a walk and upon coming home it was the first thing I smelled when I opened the door and it made me smile.

The great thing is the fragrance lasts and the instructions tell you if you put it on for an hour in the morning and an hour at night, that your home will have lasting scent. This is true but I love mine so much, I keep it on even longer. When you are ready to shut it off you simply pour the wax back in the tray and it will harden and you can use it again until you feel it does not have scent left. The next day I tried the ” Vanilla Bean” and that had a wonderful aroma that just made my home smell so pleasing to us all. The following day I tried the “Black Raspberry Vanilla” and loved that too. I immediately went to www.ScentSationals.com and ordered 4 more scents. I truly love this warmer and use it everyday.

Take a look at their website and see all the warmer designs and wax scents they have. I think you will be very impressed. The price of the products is very affordable and much less then similar companies.

The ScentSationals Company is sponsoring a give-away for my blog readers. One lucky reader will receive the Antique Greek warmer and the three scents of wax I mentioned above.
