My Story
In 2006, I went to go relax one night with a jar candle next to my bed. I fell asleep reading and woke up at 3am in the morning with flames just inches from my face. The pillow behind the pillow my head was on had moved and caught fire to the jar candle. Thank god I woke up in time, as I came out unscathed, but our home was destroyed and I had lost everything.
After the fire, I lived in such fear of candles, flame and soot. I was introduced to Scentsy by a friend and would occasionally host Scentsy parties, for both personal fun and charitable causes. My passion for the product would often be seen by my guests and I was told I should sell it because of just how much I truly loved it. In addition to my full time job, I had a business and a part time job and the timing was just never right.
In 2019 when COVID hit, my wedding stationery business took a tremendous hit. Between that and no longer securing overtime at my full time job, I needed to save money wherever I could. I decided in 2020 I would join Scentsy so that I could still have a product I loved and get the DISCOUNT on it. I WAS being cheap and desperate to save wherever I could, financially things were ROUGH!
What I did not know at the time, is how much joining Scentsy was about to change my life. Scentsy has and continues fulfill my life in all the ways my wedding stationery business did and then some! I am able to work with people, have a safe space to connect, share products I love, utilize my creativity to help make the shopping experience both special and unique all while contributing to my families financial needs.
I have shared why I joined, but I stay because I have been able to build lifetime friendships and connections with some of the most incredible people I have ever met. Scentsy believes in simplicity, authenticity and generosity. Scentsy believes in giving more than you take. These morals and values resonate so much with me and I love being able to utilize my platform to give back to the community!
There is never any pressure to sell any specific amount, you can always go and grow at your own pace. I love that in some of my darkest hours, Scentsy is there for me to lean on, but also has been some of my brightest and greatest rewards!
Being a part of Scentsy has consistently been a journey of love and personal growth! It has opened doors to traveling and doing things I never thought I would be doing. It challenges me daily to make sure that I am being the best version of me I can be so that I can continue to pursue my dreams and greatest potential!
My why has also changed a bit- last year (2023), I almost lost my Mom due to health issues that forced her into retirement. I now use Scentsy as the vehicle to make sure I can easily help her if I want or need to.
I am forever grateful to my Sponsor, Super Star Director, turned amazing friend Dawn for offering me a host exclusive kit and allowing me to take a chance on myself! July 2024 will be my 4 year Scentiversary and I know that my story is really only just starting!
The sky is the limit and it will continue to be, all while I continue helping you find your Scents of Home! Whether you decide to partner with Scentsy and join my team OR you choose me to help make your favorite spaces smell amazing, I am so glad you are here, and THANK YOU for making a difference in my life!
