We are thrilled that Velata is popping up all over Instagram thanks to our wonderful Consultants and fans who are finding new and unique ways to use our delicious cheese and chocolate. We’ve put together a few of our favorite ideas for you to check out for inspiration! @jhuffman76 is our hero! She’s always coming up with great ideas to use Velata. This time she used a Mocha Mixable in her cream cheese frosting for these gorgeous cupcakes, and then drizzled Velata Caramel Milk Chocolate on top.  @kristinafreeman says her kids called her “Super Mom” the night she drizzled melted Velata Chocolate Fondue on pound cake for dessert. Seems fitting…. Just when you think mac & cheese can’t get any better, @stitchinscents takes it one step further by using Velata Cheese. Plus, look at all that broccoli…. it’s practically diet food.  @angelface041206 earns her moniker by making homemade Cranberry Bark with Velata White Chocolate. Yummm&hel ...

By: Yvonne Juarez Think sun damage doesn't apply to you? Here are some surprising myths about skin protection that'll make you think twice about how you're treating your skin: - I’m only susceptible to sun damage in my bathing suit! Think again…you might be fully dressed, head-to-toe and completely vulnerable to the sun. Lightweight cotton only provides SPF 5 for your skin. That’s practically nothing! - I put sunscreen on this morning…I’m fine until I go to bed. No! Sunscreen can wear off as your skin rubs against clothing, towels or other surfaces, or displaced by sweat, swimming or washing your hands. You should be re-applying every few hours, and some experts recommend as often as every 80-90 minutes. Using a water resistant formula will help preserve your protection, but when in doubt, always re-apply! - I’m indoors. No need for sunscreen today! Chances are, you’re inside a building loaded with windows, or in a car surrounded by them. The ave ...

We’ve all heard the saying: “An apple a day keeps the doctor away.” While I’m not sure whether that daily habit holds true (anyone want to share their daily apple eating experiences?), the saying does have strong ties as to why students across America have historically presented teachers with a shiny, red apple. Surprisingly, apples have somewhat of a strange history here in United States with plenty of ups and downs. However, over time the apple and most apple-related treats (hello, apple pie!) have transformed into one of the country’s most patriotic symbols – similar to bald eagles and baseball. But, how did it become a cultural tradition to present a teacher with an apple? According to Smithsonian Magazine, back when teachers taught students on the vast frontier, families were often supposed to provide the teachers with housing and sustenance. With apples being publically promoted at the time as a way to “keep the doctor away,” they were a sign of good ...

In 2012, Pantone announced Tangerine Tango as the Color of the Year. I saw it everywhere from jewelry to cardigans. It started popping up in home décor as a punch of color mixed with neutrals. This year, Pantone announced Emerald as the 2013 Color of the Year. Associated with brilliant gemstones, the vibrant green is sophisticated and inspiring. "The most abundant hue in nature, the human eye sees more green than any other color in the spectrum," said Leatrice Eiseman, executive director of the Pantone Color Institute®. "As it has throughout history, multifaceted Emerald continues to sparkle and fascinate. Symbolically, Emerald brings a sense of clarity, renewal and rejuvenation, which is so important in today's complex world. This powerful and universally-appealing tone translates easily to both fashion and home interiors." (pantone.com) Many trends take time to make it into the mainstream market; and  how often can we change our décor to fit the latest trend? Luckily, with Scentsy ...
