There's also a new "trend" going on.  Scentsy has worked with experts to come up with what is the trend scent of the year.....like even things you'll see popping up in perfumes.  Remember what Lucky was big?  or Gap Blue?  Love Spell?  It's because those were Scent trends...oh the many things you can learn.

Anyways, the new scent trend of the year is Pink Pepper.  And it smells very....strong.  But, when mixed with another scent is works to create something wonderful!  I haven't had a chance to try it yet, but I'm hoping to soon!

What scents do you like to mix together?

Let me know if you need anything!

SCENTSY

About a month ago I started selling Scentsy!

I've loved Scentsy for years and have a warmer in almost every single room in our house, and in my office at work!

So maybe it seems like I jumped on this selling band wagon a little late, but I did not! Carolyn Jaggers contacted me right after Christmas about something HUGE that was coming out and she knew that I would love to be a part of it....and boy did I ever!

If you haven't heard about it yet, let me introduce you to VELATA.

Velata is a Fondue Pot!  It works exactly just like a Scentsy warmer does...light bulb, cute pot, but instead of putting wax in, you're putting CHOCOLATE in to a silicon dish that makes for easy easy clean up!

I haven't received mine yet, but I will soon and everyone else will be able to order one on May 1st.

If you're like me and have lots of little get-togethers and parties I think you'll love this perfect little pot!  I can't wait to start giving them away as Wedding presents! :)

I'd love to have a party for you and give you the opportunity to order Velata as well as many of the other fabulous Scentsy products! I'm taking bookings now, especially for after the May 1st sell date of Velata.  I'd love for you to be able to host a party, and be able to get these new products for half price!

Here's a little sneak peak:
Feel free to check out my website to order or to look at some of the new stuff available.  Another new addition to the Scentsy line is Layers, which is lotions, perfumes, and body wash...it smells so yummy!  There's also a new boy smell...Zeppelin.  Oh my.  It's awesome!

Weight Loss

Here's the thing.  I don't think I'm super overweight.  Yes, I have gained those few extra pounds over the years and not to mention the many more that I gained after falling blissfully in love, but according to the height vs. weight chart I should be at LEAST 20 pounds smaller than I am...so, that's my goal!

3 weeks ago I did it.  I joined Weight Watchers.

I'm going to meetings on Tuesdays at 7AM...yes it's early, but yes, I need the accountability.  My mom is doing it with me too!  I'm glad she is because if not I think I would just give up!

When I sat in that first meeting I was super overwhelmed.  I had seen my mom do Weight Watchers a few times over the years but the idea was just so foreign to me.

Once I caught on, it all became so much easier and now I'm able to easily be like oh that's 3 points without having to look up things on my phone!

So, in the last 3 weeks, this is what I've realized.

1. I don't really want to lose weight just to lose it.  I've realized I just need to be a more healthier version of myself...not worrying about what the scale number is.

2. Some people in these meetings have SERIOUS food addictions.

3. My favorite Sandwich a Schlotzsky's (Small Original) is 15 points!..Won't be eating that anytime soon.

4. 12 M&M's = 1... YAY!

5. Now that I'm filling my body with things that are better for me (more fruits and veggies) I'm not hungry randomly in the afternoon anymore.

6. My clothes already feel a little bit loose!

7. You get these "extra" points to eat every day and can even gain activity points but I feel like they're cheating a little bit....I just try to stick to my 26!

So far I've lost just a little over 5 pounds...I weigh in again in the morning, so we'll see where it goes from there!!

Anyone else do Weight Watchers and have any tips?
