Shine in '09

This past week I attended Scentsy's 2009 Convention, which was conveniently (well, for me!) held in Salt Lake City at the Salt Palace. What an awesome company! Between the company and my director I received over $400 in giveaways...I felt like I was on the Oprah show for two days!

Some off the cool stuff I receieved are: 5 warmers-including a commemorative "Shine in '09" warmer, new full-size warmer, a mid-size warmer (new this fall), a DIY warmer (also a new product this fall), and a new plug-in. I also got a travel tin (a new product coming out this fall), new room spray, all my fall catalogs, all my fall testers in both party and basket tester size, one scentsy bar in a new scent, two t-shirts and two bags. My awesome director also gave me a super cute bag full of (I'm guessing) $100 in stuff including a watch, wallet, and tons of Scentsy goodies.

In addition we there were several fun announcements like Scentsy is going to be available in Canada and we are getting super cute, new intereactive websites starting September 1st.

The owners of the company are absolutley inspiring. The convention was centered around helping individuals become the best they can be. Here are some quotes that I loved:

"Don't wait for things to get better; be better"

"Don't let people who've given up on their dreams give you doubts about yours."

"Life is not a dress rehersal, you don't get a second chance."

"Don't wait until youget to a point in your life where you look back and say what if"

"It takes courage, not confidence to succeed in anything."

"When we are outwardly focused our world grows; when we are inwardly focused our world shrinks."

"Happiness comes when we rid our life of entitlement and live a life of gratitude."

It looks like it was a great time! Hopefully I can go next year. You got a lot of great stuff!

I can't believe your house is almost done. Let me know if you need me to watch your boys while you are moving in!
