Move Over Roses, Hello Violet Leaf

Posted @ 2/11/2013 8:14 AM By Special Guest

By Kelly Brown By now you’ve likely heard the announcement that Violet Leaf has been chosen as ScenTrend 2013—aka the fragrance note of the year. It’s perfectly serendipitous that Violet Leaf became available for purchase in February, because violet is the flower of the month! You probably thought that would be roses, right? Not so. Violet Leaf and violets are where it’s at for the most romantic month of the year!  In the Victorian era, violets meant faithfulness. According to legend, when St. Valentine was imprisoned, he used the ink of crushed violet blossoms growing outside his cell to write love notes to his friends on the violet leaves. His faithful dove delivered the notes to those he loved. Violets became a way of saying, “I’ll always be true.” Isn’t that the sweetest? For those of you without a Valentine, I’ve got some good news. Some people believe that if you place a violet leaf in your shoe for seven days, you will find ...

ScenTrend 2013: Violet Leaf—Relief for a Digital World

Posted @ 1/3/2013 7:00 AM By Special Guest

By John Curtis, Executive Vice President, Scentsy Fragrance I had the pleasure of being with my two grandsons over the Christmas Holiday.  My two-year-old grandson spent much of the time watching YouTube videos of “The Wheels on the Bus” on his mom’s smartphone.  He watches them over and over and in various languages and musical styles.  He was totally focused on that phone and was having a great time until his mom took the phone away so he could have a restful and recharging nap.  This sweet boy suddenly began to scream, cry, rant and rave.  There was weeping and wailing and gnashing of teeth.  My dear wife pointed out that is how I would behave if someone took away my smartphone. It’s true.  I MIGHT be a bit obsessed with technology and staying connected.  And when I misplace my phone, I get shaky and weak in the knees.  But after the technology withdrawal wears off, I find moments of tranquility and peace.  It’s quite refresh ...

Pink Pepper’s Perfect Fall Fragrance

Posted @ 9/14/2012 8:29 AM By Special Guest

By Stephanie Finch I love mixing and matching Scentsy fragrances with ScenTrend 2012:Pink Pepper to create something totally unique. One of my favorite ScenTrend combos is Pink Pepper mixed with Sheer Innocence! When I mix Scentsy’s single note Pink Pepper bar with the sweet and appropriately named Sheer Innocence bar, the fragrance transforms from something sweet to what I can only describe as sultry romance.  The best part is the fragrance never loses its innocence, but gains an edgy side. I can’t get enough of the way this combo smells, so I’m sharing the recipe with you. Here is what you’ll need: ·        One mid or full-sized warmer ·        One Scentsy Bar of Sheer Innocence ·        One Scentsy Bar of Pink Pepper Instructions Place two cubes of Sheer Innocence into the warmer. Let it melt down just a bit then add one cube of Pink P ...

Scentsy Names 2012’s Fragrance Note of the Year!

Posted @ 1/5/2012 8:47 AM By Special Guest

By Stephanie Finch, PR Associate For me a new year means making dozens of overly optimistic New Year’s resolutions  and reading as many trend stories as I can get my hands on—think fashion and beauty products. I’ve always wished I was part of those teams that get to “predict” the future, but I never thought I would actually be on one. Ever. But guess what? I was and I did!!   After twelve months of navigating the tricky landscape of predicting fragrance trends, Scentsy is launching ScenTrend—an annual designation of the most trend-setting fragrance note for the upcoming year.  Are you ready to know what the ScenTrend 2012 is? Drum roll please…it is Pink Pepper! I know, you’re wondering what in the world Pink Pepper is and why it is perfect for 2012. Let me tell/show you.  The Pink Pepper fragrance note is distilled from the rose-hued berries (above) from the Peruvian pepper tree and, although it has no relationship to black pepp ...

Instagram Incredibles

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….


@rockinflameless made homemade Crunch Wrap Supremes with Velata Cheese Fondue. Can we please give this woman a round of applause? 

Have you come up with a unique way to use Velata Chocolate or Velata Cheese Fondue? We seriously go nuts over these pictures, so please feel free to share! Use #Velata on Instagram or email them to us at officialvelata@gmail.com

Protect Your Skin with Layers by Scentsy SPF Lotion

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 average person spends 9,100 hours commuting to work over their lifetime…just picture your hands sitting on that sunny steering wheel, completely unprotected. And that doesn’t even include all the other hours of driving you’ll do!
- I put sunscreen on my face and neck daily. I’m good to go. Nope. Here’s a surprising fact: one of the most common places melanoma is detected is between the toes. Sun goes EVERYWHERE. Your sunscreen should too!

May is Skin Cancer Awareness Month which makes this the perfect time to talk about sun care! In March, Layers by Scentsy introduced a line of SPF sun care products: SPF 50 and SPF 15 skin lotion and SPF 15 lip balm - available in fragrances from Scentsy’s tropical line: Havana Cabana and Rio Beach.

We all love putting luxurious lotions on our skin and lips while covering our body in amazing fragrance, but it’s also important to remember how to care for your skin beyond the surface. The skin is your largest organ and should be protected!

But, if you’re anything like me, remembering to apply sunscreen every single day is a challenge. Quite frankly, I forget to do it far too often and am left with this lingering guilt, complete with a little voice in my head that says, “Just do it already!!” Avoid the guilt and start protecting yourself today. Here are four easy-to-follow tips to make it easier to remember (and maybe even enjoyable!):

- Update your after-shower routine! Are you in the habit of slathering regular body lotion all over after a shower? Just swap your regular body lotion for a bottle of good-smelling sunscreen. If you have a product you love, with a fresh scent you look forward to, you might actually enjoy applying it!
- Keep some in your purse for touch-ups throughout the day. Think of it like make-up. You should be equally concerned about re-applying your sunscreen as you are about re-applying your lipstick. Trust me, in 20 years, good sunscreen use will far out-weigh any beauty benefits your lipstick can offer.
- Make it accessible for the whole family. Put it in a cute basket by the back door. Put it in your husband’s briefcase or office. Put a bottle in your kids’ diaper bag. Don’t just store it in the medicine cabinet—the more accessible it is, the more you’ll remember to use it! 
- Beyond sunscreen, wear protective clothing like hats (have you seen the amazing hats Princess Kate has been sporting?), sunglasses and long sleeve shirts. Limit time in the sun, particularly between the harshest hours of 10 a.m. and 2 p.m. Remember: all these tips are for year-round, not just summer months! Your skin is still vulnerable throughout winter and even on overcast days, clouds let roughly 30% of UV rays through. Protect yourself!



Layers by Scentsy SPF Lotions offer broad-spectrum protection against both UVA and UVB rays and smell like a perfect tropical vacation to boot. You can wear something that feels good, smells good, and most importantly, does good things for your skin!
