An Ode to Former Lovers OR How Will I Cope?

It's here. It's officially announced. It's the Discontinued List of Scentsy Spring/Summer products. The sting is slightly lessened because I've had a peek at the new Autumn/Winter catalog coming 1 September. But I'm still wondering how I will live without a few of these.

Let's just get it over with and see all that are going:


For those of you not able to read the tiny print, there's a list at the bottom of the post.

I'm going to run down the top 3 bars you need to stock up on before they are gone forever.

3. Mediterranean Spa


It's fresh, it's bright, but it's got some serious depth. Med Spa also has a serious cult following. I recommend it for people who like fresh and clean scents, but don't like things that smell like laundry. The bergamot really deepens this fragrance to something that's almost masculine. I also recommend it for people who like a scent that's going to last, yet not be overpowering. It's steady, it's strong, but not over-powering, and it cozy with those deeper notes. Mediterranean Spa, you will be missed. You've been in the catalog since day 1 and I can't imagine Scentsy without you.

2. Red Ginger Flower


Oh Red Ginge, I love you because you march to your own beat. You don't fall easily into any category. You're not a floral or a spice yet you have an enormous appeal. When I am stumped as to what someone likes, I pull out the Red Ginger Flower to wake up the nose. There are people who have latched onto this bar and won't use anything else. I'm here for you. Goodbye Ginge.

3. Candy Dandy


Ok, it's sweet. I mean, it's really sweet and the clue is in the title. However, it manages to be sweet without that sickly, syrupy ickiness we associate with a bar that's overly candied. Candy Dandy is light, but that doesn't mean that the scent isn't present. It was marketed as a Kid's Fragrance, but I'm going to admit that it is my personal favourite one going. I had the Scent Pak in my car and it felt like a cloud of confection when I would get in. I used it in my warmer in my lounge. I have no shame. I love it. I'm going to be squirrelling away a small hoarde of this one.

Calavera means skull in English or Dia de los Muertos decorating needs

Of all the warmers from the 2016 Spring/Summer Scentsy catalog, Calavera is a real contender for my favourite.


As a consultant, I run my business mostly with events and basket parties, more than home parties. I feel that's given me a really good insight into what people really like because I know what the general public is buying or even just eyeballing. And Calavera has been a far and away winner! Last week at Danson Park, I thought there was going to be a fight over the last one. He is absolutely beautiful, hand painted and truly unique for quirky decor for those of us who are just a little bit off center.

The lid comes off and is the top part of his skull and the wax dish sits inside. It's also a great warmer if you have children or furry children around as having the lid deters fingers and paws from poking int he wax.... Disclaimer: If anyone' paws or fingers DO find their way into the wax, they will not burn themselves! Scentsy warmers are cooler than the other brands out there we will not name!)



Contact me to get a Calavera. I know that you have someone in mind for whom this would be absolutely perfect. Or just order him now!



How can you resist that face?
