Christmas Is Coming...

Ready or not!

And Scentsy Christmas warmers have never been more popular!

Each year we get a few more holiday warmers and every year they sell out just a little bit earlier than the year before!

This year, in mid-October, we sold out of this gorgeous Merry and Bright Scentsy Warmer:


Let's hope we see a return of this shiny bauble next year in 2015!

Possibly the next most popular Holiday Warmer of 2014 is the Sleigh Scentsy Warmer


This is a stunning piece that actually sits on the gold toned metal runners. It's going to be hot, so get one while you can!

Is it time to say 'awwwwww' yet? Penguins! Things that make you say 'awwww'!
This is Tux the Scentsy Warmer


Tux is a 3-piece warmer that uses his head as the lid. The scent of your holiday wax still wafts out of the holes with the same intensity!

How about a cute Snowman Scentsy Warmer?
He's adorbs and his little arms are actually stuck in with wire.


This one is Cardinal Scentsy Warmer:
This is for the European market, but I'm not sure that the Cardinal is a winter bird here! That's ok, because even though I live in London, I am originally from Kentucky and the Cardinal is our state bird! The cardinal is a winter bird much like the U.K. sees the robin.


Now bringing up the rear of our list.... because he always ends the parade, it's Santa! Meet Saint Nick Scentsy Warmer:


He's another gorgeous 3 piece with his little hat coming off to reveal the dish for your wax cubes.

If YOU were in charge of designing the 2015 Holiday warmers, what would you choose? Is there an iconic image that speaks to you during the Holiday Season? Leave me a comment, you never know what Christmas magic can happen!

Join In June!

Fantabulous news! New consultants who purchase their starter kit in June get 2 sweeteners:

1) Free Shipping - that's £9 savings!
2) A free Shooting Star kit! That means that new consultants who earn their Shooting Star award will recieve the Shooting Star kit (a pre-selected bundle of Scentsy products) for FREE. It normally costs £200.

So those thinking of setting up their own Scentsy business anyway have a few extra reasons to join during the month of June. Personally, I think June is a fantastic month to join anyway. It's just enough lead in time to the very crazy holiday season. It gives them a chance to get on their feet, learn the ropes, get parties booked in and feel confident so that when October hits and the madness starts, the new consultant suddenly is a seasoned pro and can handle the increase in business because they are ready for it.

I joined in May 2011, only a couple of weeks after Scentsy launched in Europe. Summer was tough for me because I'd never done direct sales before and didn't have any connections, friends and family to start me off in getting the word out. I ended up doing some small little events like charity days and pamper evenings and bringing my Scentsy kit along. It took me a few months, but I built up a small little customer base and when November came I was absolutely astonished at the sales. Planting those little seeds and learning the ropes earlier in the year, definitely gave me a leg up!

I am happy to talk to you about joining. I also have referral special, you just need to ask me privately. There is no pressure and I won't stand outside your window at night calling for you. If you want joining information sent to you, send me an email: karen.wickless@gmail.com or give me a call 07875 744 536.

Or, maybe you're impulsive and it just feels right? Then go for it! Go straight to the page and sign up today!

Scentsy Man in time for Father's Day!

LOOK HERE


Another sweet sweet sale and this one aligns very nicely with Father's Day. It is incredibly hard to find gifts for Dad. I know. It's either super expensive gadgets or another tie, tie-clip, golf thing. So boring too. I bet you never in a million, trillion years thought of giving Dad a scented candle for Father's Day, but I bet he would love it. And anyway, we've said before, we are soooo not candles. Scentsy is like the gadget version of a candle, right? Out of all of my family, it is my Dad who loves the Scentsy best. His favourite scent is Hemingway and he was so upset when it was discontinued. He's going to be a happy dude to see it's back and that it's 40% off!

All of these are discontinuted scents brought back for a LIMITED time. So it's get em while they're here.

Here's my rundown of the fragrances:

Ace: Definitely unexpected: tangerine and lavender enrobed in dark chocolate and sweet, musky amber. This is that ruggedy man type smell, but still fresh with the citrus and lavender.

Echo: Sophisticated, metropolitan fragrance of manly spice notes, Mediterranean citrus and herbs, and bitter orange. Now, i wouldn't place this in the men's range totally. I think it's so herbal and has the spice and warmth of just a plain old "cozy home" type scent.

Hemingway: Rich, ripe apples and warm, woody accents of sandalwood and cedar with hints of spice. Gorgeous! Love this one and it's my Dad's personal favorite!

Route 66: A windswept drive in a convertible — an exhilarating breeze of citrus, herbs, and musk. This is your fresh outdoors scent. This is for the fresh cut grass lovers. If you have been bored of your other scents lately, this one will mix things up!

Weathered Leather: Step into an old-fashioned saddle shop brimming with dark suede, tooled leather, and vintage saddles over a backdrop of oak. I'm not going to sugar-coat this. It smells just like sniffing an old leather jacket. I would never warm this in my own house, but you know who has purchased this one from me? Motorcyclists. It's hardcore leather.

Just because these bars are 40% off, does not mean that they are any less potent than you are used to! You are still getting the full 80-120 hours out of each and every bar. In fact, the heavier scents are the ones that tend to last longer.

As always, if you would like to order I can do that directly so don't be shy to send me an email: karen.wickless@gmail.com or give me a call: 07875 744 536 and I'll do that extra little to help you out!

Tunis Scentsy Warmer Review UK

The stunningly gorgeous and very sweet WildKatMakeup chose a Scentsy warmer and waxes to review. (Spoiler: she LOVED it!)
It's a really great review she's done. I've followed her youtube channel for a little while as I love her makeup and haul vlogs so this is very exciting!

TUNIS WARMER REVIEW here!

I LOVE a great sale! And I love Limited Edition/ Special Discontinued

My heart cannot take anymore excitement!

Yesterday was the announcement that from the months of May- July, all consultants in Europe have a chance to win an all-expense paid trip to Cancun Mexico.

This morning, I have found that Scentsy have brought back a few very old wax bars in scents that were discontinued. Some of them I have not seen since the first catalog 3 years ago. Then the put them up to 40% off!

I'm going to talk through the ones you really don't want to miss a chance to grab before they are gone. These are MY favourites that I thought I would die if I ever saw/smelled them again. (Seriously, it's like finding an old pair of earrings that you thought you'd never see again and they were your favourite pair!) Have a look in the closeout here.

First up is Flutter Scentsy wax bar: Delicate orange blossoms and whipped almond cream float above a bed of bright lemon verbena.

I love this one and I really regretted that I didn't actually "discover" it amidst all the scents until it was discontinued. I had 1 bar of it left that I really made last. It's a sweet one, but it doesn't get bogged down with heaviness because the citrus elements make it feel light and er... fluttery? It is definitely a very spring-like scent and very feminine without being girlie. I mean it's delicate and feminine, but not so pink and sparkly that your head might explode. It's subtle. It's a favourite of all time.

Next up is Lucky in Love : Sweet bouquet of mandarin, bergamot, and orange with hints of peaches and berries. This is my all time, hands-down favourite. This is the only bar that I seriously considered hoarding. It's almost a dupe of Victoria's Secret Love Spell. It's again is a bit on the sweeter side, but it remains light and it has the air of sophistication. It's like a high end department store body lotion that you never want to run out as you fear you'll never find anything that smells so good again.

Then we come to My Wish: A confection of earthy fig, sweet violet, and playful marshmallow will have you wishing for more. I have a confession. I have a real "thing" for fig. I like it sweet, I like it earthy, I like it in a box and I like it with a fox. This fig is very marshmallowy. It is sweet and it is heavy and it does last for yonks. If you like sweet that may rot your teeth, yet has the violet to make it not too childish or if you are such a fig lover, like me. This one is a must try. I actually have a perfume stick in this fragrance and it gets comments every time I wear it.

I'm going to shock you with my next pick, Route 66: A windswept drive in a convertible — an exhilarating breeze of citrus, herbs, and musk. This was so popular I do not know how it was discontinued. It's fresh cut grass scent without being too harsh and making you sneeze! It's like the promise of fresh cut grass but it's been mellowed with the grown-up bergamot. I adore this fragrance for anyone who does not like vanilla. Most all Scentsy wax, and all scented products for that matter, have vanilla base notes somewhere in them. This bar does not have any. It is all fresh and if Flutter is spring in a bar, then Route 66 is pure SUMMER.

The last pick (though could go through them all!) is another one that may surprise you. Honey Do!: Lush, ripe honeydew melon and cantaloupe, and a hint of garden mint. This one is and isn't what you are thinking. Yes, it is very melony, but it is not sickly sweet. Instead it's like picking up a melon and smelling the outside of it in the grocery store. It's so fresh. I do not love floral scents or I have to be choosy so a lot of the clean linen type smells are lost on me. However, when I do fresh this is how I do it. It smells very clean without having that affiliation with a cleaning product. It's a very old scent from the first catalog and never to be seen again, until now. I had people asking me for this scent after it was gone for a very long time. They are going to be happy bunnies now!

I could go on and review them all! I love Wishing Well as it smells like "rich people's houses" to me.
Rio Beach is a real crowd pleaser as it's fresh and lovely coconut;
Black Ruby is a lovely autumn, mulled wine scent;
Be Still is a lovely chilled out lilac and lavender that is saved by some citrus from making it too grandmotherly;
Cocoa Clementine is like a chocolate orange. Just like you unwrapped one;
Eastern Treasures is a pure incense and heady rose scent that's really good if you love those really deep fragrances;
Echo is like walking into Grandpa's office. It's that older man leather and wood and tobacco scent, so comforting;
Embers is very deep again but it's like sitting in front of a cozy fire. I don't know how else to explain because it's just like that!
There are more and more, but those are the best cream of the crop or the very oldest ones. As always you can purchase from me directly by contacting me or go straight to my website.

Let's PAR-TAY

So, here's the thang with Scentsy. It's a "Party Plan Company". Which means that the bread and butter of the business is meant to be the parties!

I've found in my 3 years that when people let go and have that party, they really enjoy it and they greatly enjoy the free and half-price products. But there are so many reservations to having a good party and that's crazy! Cer-azy. I tell hostesses that ask me about a party, but say they are worried about attendance that they should plan on 4 guests to get some good freebies. Which is soooo not a lot.

Then you add in that people can take a set of testers beforehand into work or church or the gym or the PTA meeting and collect orders.

I know that culturally here, people can be a bit more reserved about a parties in their homes. That is where taking an on-the-go party is the perfect solution.

Also, a party is a time to RELAX. Let ME take care of guests. Let me get people talking and smelling. There is absolutely no pressure at all. Who is going to feel comfy at a party like that? ugh. I've seen those types of party plan and I am cringing so hard even thinking about it. Parties are FUN.

Here's the goodies you can get from hosting breakdown:

That means for every £150 in sales, you're walking away with a 3 pack of wax and a £15 warmer. And it just goes up and up and up!

Do a bit of moving things around and fiddling and you could get your gift cupboard stocked for the year, get a couple warmers in the house and maybe a hand cream or body lotion in your favourite scent as a little treat?

Go on! contact me: https://wicklesskaren.scentsy.co.uk

Scentsy is a family business. The family owners are involved in the consultants' needs and wants and their children remain part of their business. We are encouraged to use Scentsy to have more time to spend with our family.

I sell Scentsy because I was able to quit my job and stay home with my children, thanks to that income. And, super-interesting fact about this direct sales company, you can build a LEGACY with your business. That means that someday I will be able to retire and can pass my entire business onto my children and grandchildren. How cool is that?!

Here's how I like to involve my boys. I let them help me unpack my shipments. I give them my labels with my details to put on all of the products before they go on to customers. They love helping. They have even decided that they can sing Gangnam Style and because they are not allowed to say "sexy", they change it to "Scentsy". Love those little nerds!

For join information and ideas on how to work this around your family too, get in touch via email or phone: JOIN

And here's a slice of life: Helpful Children

(psst, the bar that he loves here is Lavaberry: Lush rose and jasmine mingled with bright grapefruit and fresh rhubarb.)

Spring has Sprung!!!

I couldn't be more excited about Easter and school holidays and chocolate easter eggs! Why does easter egg chocolate taste sooooo much better than regular chocolate bars? Is it the hope of warmer weather embedded into it?

I'm shopping for shorts and skirts and just general ALL about the spring this year. I love when a season comes along that I just can't wait... like we've had a really hard winter. All that wet all winter and a bout of pnuemonia can just kiss it! It's spring now!

Scentsy are celebrating too with this sweet little bundle deal. We're talking about £20 off here! What a great Easter gift for those who can't have the chocolate.

You get: An Easter Egg warmer (with a lid! I love the ones with a lid!), a bar of Coconut Lemongrass (my most popular bar, by about double anything else), a bar of French Lavender (if you love lavender, this is a GOOD one. Some lavender can smell off, but this is a nice, true one.) and a bar of Lush Gardenia (seriously, if you don't think spring when you smell this one, I can no longer help you! hehe!) Great deal, great bundle and we're excited as we don't get offers like this too often!
