πŸ’‘ Bright light! Bright light! 😫

You know when someone walks in and puts the big light on...

Oh my EYES!! Too blinding! πŸ«£πŸ’‘

Turn. It. OFF.

Why would you do that to yourself?! 🀣

I'm quite happy sitting there with my LEDs and warmers glowing away, thank you very much. 😍✨

Then Scentsy shared THIS...

πŸ‘€ SEE!!

THIS is what I'm talking about!

Look at the difference when those warmers are switched on. 😍

Some give you that gorgeous little glow ✨
Some light up a whole corner 🏑

Some throw patterns across the walls πŸ‘€
And while they're sitting there looking all pretty...

They're making your house smell gorgeous too. πŸ™ŒπŸΌ that to me is a win win πŸ†

Meanwhile...

The big light can stay exactly where it belongs.
OFF. πŸ’‘βŒ

Unless you've lost something.

Then apparently we need the power of approximately 700 suns while you crawl around looking under the sofa. πŸ˜«πŸ”

But the SECOND you've found it...
Bright light! Bright light!
Get it OFF again. 🫣🀣

So really...
I'm not avoiding the big light.
I'm just being clever πŸ€“ and saving πŸ’°

Please tell me I'm not alone here... πŸ‘€

πŸ‘€ I joined Scentsy to sell smelly stuff... I didn't expect THIS...

And THIS is probably one of the best things that's come out of this whole crazy journey... πŸ₯Ή

The people I've met. πŸ’œ

People from all over the place who I probably would've never crossed paths with otherwise. 🌍
Some are completely bonkers like me. 🀣
Some I've laughed until my face hurts with. πŸ˜‚
Some I've cried with. πŸ₯Ή

And some are the first ones there when life goes wonky or something brilliant happens. 🫢🏼✨

I've met some genuinely incredible people through Scentsy.

Take my lovely friend Frances...
We met on a Zoom call my Director had set up for her team. πŸ’»πŸ˜‚

Me in the Midlands. πŸ“
Frances all the way up in Scotland. 🏴󠁧󠁒󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

Then last year I went to a training day thinking I was seeing the fabulous Anna, the lovely Cheryl and generally spending the day learning and causing chaos. πŸ€£πŸ™ˆ

I'm stood there nattering to Dawn β€” who's absolutely bonkers like me and one of the loveliest people you'll meet β€” when suddenly...

Her face changed. πŸ‘€πŸ€¨

You know THAT face.

Something was going on. πŸ˜‚

I turned around...

FRANCES. 😳

She'd travelled all the way down from Scotland to surprise us and I hadn't got a CLUE. πŸš—

I was speechless.
Normally you can never shut me up 🀣.
I know... miracles do happen.

And then there are the completely random moments...

Like driving over to another Consultant's to drop off a few bars because we were in the middle of a heatwave β˜€οΈ and there was NO chance I was posting them, having them melt and ending up back at square one.

So off we went... πŸš—πŸ’¨

Dropped off a few bars, had a good natter and then carried on to Matlock for fish and chips. 🐟🍟

A few Scentsy bars turned into a road trip. πŸš—
Just a normal day for me πŸ€¦πŸΌβ€β™€οΈπŸ€£.

And I think THAT sums it up. 🫢🏻

Somewhere amongst the wax , Zoom calls πŸ’», training days πŸ“š, random road trips πŸš—, ridiculous photos πŸ“Έ and an awful lot of laughing... πŸ˜‚

I've made some incredible friendships with completely bonkers but amazing people I may never have met otherwise. πŸ₯Ή

I joined thinking I'd sell some smelly stuff and hopefully earn a bit of extra money.

I didn't realise my world was going to get a little bigger along the way. 🌍✨

And that bit?

Priceless.

02/09/2026

πŸ‘ƒπŸΌ Excuse me... where's my fragrance gone?! πŸ‘€πŸ€£

I know I put wax in there.
I can see the wax in there.

So why am I walking around the room sniffing the air wondering where the smell's gone?! πŸ€£πŸ‘ƒπŸΌ

And then someone else walks in...
β€œOooh, it smells nice in here.”
😐

Can it?! πŸ˜‚
Because I can't smell a thing. πŸ€¦πŸΌβ€β™€οΈπŸ€£

But apparently...

Nose blindness is actually a real thing. πŸ‘€
Yep. πŸ˜‚

And it's something I didn't even know about until I joined Scentsy!

Basically, your nose can get so used to smelling the same fragrance that after a while, you don't notice it as much.

Meanwhile someone who's just walked into your house can smell it straight away. 🀣

How rude is that?! πŸ˜‚

It's my fragrance... I'd quite like to smell it too. πŸ‘ƒπŸΌπŸ€£

That's why I like changing mine around rather than constantly reaching for the same thing.

If I've had something fruity going, I might chuck something fresh on next. 🌿
Had something sweet?

I'll give my nose something completely different. πŸ˜‚

Sometimes even leaving the room for a bit and coming back can have you going...

β€œAhhh... there it is!” πŸ‘€πŸ€£

So if you've ever sat there thinking...

β€œI'm sure this used to smell stronger?!” πŸ€”
It might not be your fragrance at all.

Your nose might have just got far too comfortable with it. πŸ˜‚πŸ‘ƒπŸΌ

Please tell me you've had this happen too?! πŸ‘€πŸ€£

02/09/2026

β˜• WHY DO I KEEP PUTTING THINGS SOMEWHERE β€œSAFE”?! πŸ‘€πŸ€¦πŸΌβ€β™€οΈ

Because apparently β€œsafe” in my house actually means...
YOU WILL NEVER SEE THIS ITEM AGAIN. πŸ˜‚

I can have something in my hand.

Think...

β€œOooh, I'll put that somewhere safe so I know EXACTLY where it is.”

Excellent idea, Helen. πŸ‘ŒπŸΌ

Three days later...

Gone.

Absolutely vanished. 🀣
Then comes the search.

Drawer? Nope.
Office? Nope.
Bag? Nope.
The place I was CERTAIN I'd put it? Obviously not. πŸ™„πŸ˜‚
And the most annoying bit?!

I'll eventually find it somewhere that clearly made PERFECT sense to me at the time or Pete will end up finding it for me 🀣 then i
immediately remember putting it there. πŸ€¦πŸΌβ€β™€οΈπŸ€£

β€œOH YEAHHHHH.”

I swear I need to start hiding things from myself with written instructions. πŸ˜‚

Please tell me you've got a β€œsafe place” that's actually just a black hole for your belongings?! πŸ‘€πŸ€£

πŸ‚πŸŽ„ YOUR NOSE IS ABOUT TO HAVE A VERY BUSY FEW MONTHS. πŸ‘€

Because the Seasonal Fragrances are HERE...

And apparently we're not choosing between autumn and Christmas.
WE'RE HAVING BOTH. 🀣

We've still got our main Scentsy catalogue full of all the usual goodies...

AND now this little beauty has joined it. πŸ‘€πŸ‚β„οΈπŸŽ„

The Seasonal Fragrance 2026 brochure sits alongside the main catalogue, with a whole load of extra fragrances taking us through autumn, winter AND Christmas. 😍

So if you've been waiting for apples, spices, cosy bakery smells and those deeper woody fragrances... πŸŽπŸ‚

You're sorted.

But if you've already mentally skipped autumn and you're sitting there like...
β€œHelen... WHERE ARE THE CHRISTMAS SMELLS?!” πŸŽ„πŸ‘€πŸ˜‚

You're sorted too. 🀣

There are returning favourites AND five brand-new fragrances to get your nose into. 😍
πŸͺ Sweet and bakery
🍎 Fruity and spiced
🌲 Fresh and woody
🌸 Floral
❄️ Proper frosty wintery ones

Basically... there's a LOT for your nose to investigate. πŸ˜‚πŸ‘ƒπŸΌ

But reading fragrance notes can only get you so far.

Because you can tell me something smells like β€œsugared plums, velvet cashmere and floral arrangement” 47 times...

And my nose is still going...
β€œLovely. BUT DO I ACTUALLY LIKE IT?!” πŸ‘ƒπŸΌπŸ€£

Which is why my Borrow Bag is going seasonal too. πŸ™ŒπŸΌπŸ‚

You can have a proper sniff at home and find the ones that make you go...
😍 β€œOOOOH. THAT ONE.”

And quickly eliminate the ones that get...
😬 β€œAbsolutely not. Get that away from me.” πŸ˜‚

I've got copies of the new Seasonal Fragrance brochure here too if you fancy having a nosey through one. πŸ“–πŸ₯°

And remember this morning when I said I've got SO many exciting things I've been excites to share with you πŸ‘€

Well...
THIS is number one. πŸ˜‚πŸ‚β„οΈπŸŽ„

I've been sitting on my hands long enough. 🀣

πŸ‘€ THERE'S A BIT OF CRAZY RED YOU DON'T REALLY SEE...

The bit between one month ending and another one starting. πŸ˜‚

While you see the finished posts, parcels and me waving smelly things around...

I'm usually in my office thinking...
β€œRIGHT. WHAT AM I DOING FIRST?!” πŸ€¦πŸΌβ€β™€οΈπŸ€£

New month means sorting samples, checking what's coming up, planning customer bits and attempting to get vaguely organised.

Except you know how β€œgetting organised” goes...

You start ONE job, get 17 other things out, find something you'd forgotten existed and completely forget what you started doing. πŸ€¦πŸΌβ€β™€οΈ

But I actually LOVE this bit. πŸ₯°

Especially because I've got SO many exciting things coming up that I genuinely cannot WAIT to start sharing with you. πŸ‘€πŸ˜

I'm having to sit on my hands because I want to tell you EVERYTHING. πŸ™ˆ

For now though...

I should probably find my desk underneath everything I got out to β€œget organised.” πŸ€¦πŸΌβ€β™€οΈπŸ€£

Please tell me I'm not the only one who somehow makes MORE mess trying to organise?! πŸ˜‚

πŸ‘€ AUGUST... WHAT THE HECK WAS THAT?! 😳

How is tomorrow SEPTEMBER?! 😲

I'm sorry but I'm fairly certain August started about 4 days ago. πŸ€¦πŸΌβ€β™€οΈ

I've blinked and somehow we've gone from summer, holidays and trying not to melt...
To THE BER MONTHS START TOMORROW. πŸ‚πŸ‘€

And yes... I'm ridiculously excited. πŸ˜‚

Give me the cosy nights, big hoodies, hot chocolate and that first evening where you suddenly realise it's getting dark stupidly early. πŸ‚β˜•πŸŒ™

Although after the amount of heatwaves we've had this summer... September could probably do ANYTHING. 🀣

β˜€οΈ 26 degrees one minute.
🌧️ Absolutely chucking it down the next.
β›ˆοΈ Random thunderstorm just to really mix things up.

British weather does like to keep us guessing. πŸ˜‚

August has been a BUSY one over here though.

But I am actually quite looking forward to turning that calendar over tomorrow. πŸ‚

So August 2026...

πŸ‘πŸΌ Actually pretty decent
or
πŸ‘ŽπŸΌ GET IN THE BIN

Which one's yours? πŸ˜‚

πŸ‘€ WAIT... WHAT'S THAT LITTLE NUMBER ON YOUR WAX DISH?! πŸ˜‚Have you ever actually LOOKED at the dish on your Scentsy warmer...
31/08/2026

πŸ‘€ WAIT... WHAT'S THAT LITTLE NUMBER ON YOUR WAX DISH?! πŸ˜‚

Have you ever actually LOOKED at the dish on your Scentsy warmer? πŸ‘€

Because there's a little detail on there that you could quite easily own a warmer for AGES without even noticing. πŸ˜‚

A NUMBER.

And no... Scentsy hasn't randomly numbered your dishes for fun.

That little number tells you the recommended number of wax cubes to use in that particular warmer. πŸ₯°

So if yours says 4...

That's the recommended amount for that warmer. ✨

And different warmers can have different numbers because they're not all exactly the same.

Which means if you've ever stood there with a brand-new bar thinking...

πŸ€” β€œHow much of this am I actually supposed to put in there?!”

Your warmer has basically been trying to tell you the whole time. πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚

Have a look next time you change your wax...

Did you already know what that little number meant, or have I just made you go and inspect your warmer? πŸ‘€πŸ€£

πŸ‘€ β€œBUT I DON'T KNOW ENOUGH PEOPLE...”You might look at me now and think...β€œYeah alright Helen, you'll talk to anyone.” πŸ˜‚...
30/08/2026

πŸ‘€ β€œBUT I DON'T KNOW ENOUGH PEOPLE...”

You might look at me now and think...

β€œYeah alright Helen, you'll talk to anyone.” πŸ˜‚

And NOW... you're probably right. πŸ™ˆ

I'll be in a shop, cafΓ©, car show, wherever and end up having a full-on natter with someone I've never met before. β˜•πŸŽοΈ

Sometimes Scentsy comes up and I'll hand them a sample, flyer or catalogue.

But when I first started?! 😳

I once walked into a local shop with Pete, hid behind my catalogue and made HIM do the talking. πŸ€¦πŸΌβ€β™€οΈπŸ“–

Yep

Apparently getting through the door was enough bravery for me that day. 🀣

I chatted to people in local Facebook groups, spoke to people I already knew and gradually started talking to people I didn't.

Now look at me...
You can't shut me up. πŸ‘€πŸ˜‚

And here's the funny bit...

You might be reading this right now and have NEVER heard of me before.

You could've just stumbled across thinking...

β€œWho is this crazy red-haired woman and what is she banging on about?” πŸ‘©πŸ»β€πŸ¦°πŸ˜³

HELLOOOO. πŸ‘‹πŸΌπŸ˜‚

If you've ever thought...
β€œI couldn't do that. I don't know enough people.”

Neither did I.

I hadn't met them yet. πŸ’œπŸ‘€

πŸ€¦πŸΌβ€β™€οΈ YESTERDAY WE MADE A TERRIBLE MISTAKE. πŸ˜‚

It started with...

β€œShall we just sort the bedroom out a bit?”

JUST. 🀣

Me and Pete genuinely thought we'd move a few things around, give everything a deep clean, fresh bedding on...

Couple of hours. EASY.

Fast forward approximately 97 YEARS and apparently we'd accidentally reorganised the entire bedroom. πŸ˜‚

You know when you move ONE thing...
Then realise you may as well clean behind it.

Then because you've moved that, something ELSE would look better over there.

Then suddenly half your belongings are on the bed and there's absolutely NO GOING BACK. πŸ€¦πŸΌβ€β™€οΈπŸ€£

That.
ALL DAY. πŸ˜‚
But LOOK AT IT NOWWWWW. πŸ˜πŸ™ŒπŸΌ

Everything moved.
Everything cleaned.
Fresh bedding on.

Even Zeus & Lola's beds got washed because apparently they also required the full bedroom renovation experience. πŸΆπŸ˜‚

And once I'd finally reached the point where I could actually SEE the bed again...

Out came the smelly stuff. πŸ‘€

🌸 Fiji Flower Scentsy Fresh all over the fresh bedding because clean bedding smells amazing...

But clean bedding that smells EVEN MORE amazing?

Obviously. πŸ˜‚

πŸ₯₯ Ocean Air & Coconut Counter Clean got dragged into the operation too because once I'd started cleaning things down there was apparently no stopping me.

Then FINALLY...
Bed made.
Room clean.

Everything back where it belongs-ish. πŸ‘€πŸ˜‚
Barefoot Beach ON. πŸ–οΈ
Coconut, macadamia and driftwood and

OHHHHHH MY GOD. 😍

THAT was the moment it went from...
β€œWe've spent our entire day doing WHAT?!”
to...

β€œOkay... this was actually worth it.” πŸ˜‚πŸ™ŒπŸΌ

And I can confirm, waking up to a spotless bedroom this morning made yesterday's β€œcouple of hours” that somehow swallowed the ENTIRE DAY worth it. πŸ˜‚

Although I'm giving it approximately 48 hours before something gets dumped somewhere it doesn't belong. πŸ‘€πŸ€£

And Zeus & Lola?
Their freshly washed beds apparently passed inspection. πŸΆπŸ˜‚

For now. πŸ‘€πŸ€£
