Hey There

In the summer of 2008, a good friend of mine after a few other sales adventures decided to sign up to be a Scentsy Consultant, just a few months later I saw her knee deep in success. A soon to be founder of this company I knew nothing about. That fall I visited her, and she gifted me a warmer and bar for my birthday. I took it home and plugged it in at our tiny 2-bedroom temporary home in Cheyanne Wyoming. Using each cube sparingly, turning the warmer off when we weren't home to savor every last bit of fragrance. My husband was an active-duty Marine at the time, and we were about to make a big move to California.

I watched her from the sideline as she grew her business, succeeding in growing a team and building a customer base in her small town. 

All the while she continued to ask me to join her, and my answer was no. I was currently part of another direct sales company and asking family to purchase every few months to keep my business afloat. Unsuccessfully. 

That winter on December 28th, 2008 I decided it was my time, I was ready to make a go of it. I went to her website that evening and clicked that Join button. It may sound like a crazy date to join being so close to Christmas but there is a reason behind that date...

It was my husbands payday and before that day we didn't have the $99 to spend. That Scentsy kit was my Christmas present. I was so excited about this new opportunity I couldn't sleep that night, I pondered over what I would become, If I would be successful, how hard it would be, if I could even sell at all, on and on.

I received my kit shortly after New Years day 2009 and hit the ground running. She was right; I should have started as soon as I thought about it, as soon as I knew about the opportunity! As soon as she asked.

 My team began to grow as I shared my enthusiasm and love for my new adventure and product in February 2009 I got my first team member and slowly continued to grow for the next few months. As the summer of 2009 approached I was selling more than I expected and my team really started to take off. With consistency and work I became a Director just nine short months after I signed up, a Star Director 1 year later and a Super Star Director in September of 2011 only 2 years and 9 months into this business thanks to my amazing team, group and all of their dedication and hard work. 

Now wait a minute I hear you saying it now... The opportunity isn't the same, It's not ground floor anymore, it was new then. NOPE I see consultants now having the same quick success I had then when they choose to work hard each day.

My motivation and love for this company and all it does for its consultants continues to grow every single day. I am in love with an amazing high quality product that literally sells itself time after time, Scentsy. I am not a sales person and I hope you're not either. I don't like spam and I'm never "salesy" I share what I love and Scentsy literally sells itself. I love my customers and spoil them!

 Scentsy has also given us the opportunity to grow and expand our teams internationally into more than 10 different countries including The United States, Canada, Mexico, Deutschland, United Kingdom, Poland, Ireland, Austria, France, Spain, New Zealand and Australia. I knew as soon as I turned on that very first warmer in my home in Cheyanne Wyoming and the wonderful aroma filled the air that this was much more than warmers and wax. Everyone who visited quickly became a customer or a member of my team and fell in love just as I did. Fragrance creates memory, calms our soul and connects dreams to life.

I am still running, even sprinting to success! As my 15 year Scentsy anniversary came and went in December 2023 I am still amazed daily at how a small company that started just 20 short years ago has changed so many lives including mine and my families. I am blessed to now have hundreds of successful Scentsy Friends.

I have grown so much as a person, a leader and an independent business woman, I can hardly recognize myself. In a time of trial Scentsy remains a shining star, growing and setting a new standard each day. The company continues to present new and exciting opportunities for each generation.

There is more to this story though... I am also a mother of two, a 20 year old son and a 17 year old daughter. My oldest son is diagnosed with severe autism and epilepsy, he has equine therapy once a week as well as school, and Special Olympics and Challenger baseball. My daughter is active in Highschool Track and Cross country, and personal training with practices and events 5 nights a week after school. Busy is not a word we use in our household, blessed is much more appropriate.

My Scentsy business allows me to be here with him and my daughter when I need to be. I don't have to ask for time off for Dr. Appointments, I don't have to tell my daughter I wont be there for her school events, or her races, as we look at colleges this fall Im not missing a single moment of here senior year.  I choose my schedule and love every minute of it. 

I am also the wife of a retired Marine, our lives can and do change at any moment. I have moved my business half way across the country multiple times with no problem at all. I can connect and meet with team members across the globe with out hesitation and continue to grow with each new adventure. In the beginning of my story I explained the reason for the date I signed up, I am so very proud to say that because of this business we no longer live paycheck to paycheck, we are able to help others and have a financial plan for us and our children's future. Scentsy also blesses us with travel opportunities beyond belief, I was able to take my husband to the Dominican Republic on our 13 year anniversary all expenses paid, I have been to Mexico, Key West, the Bahamas, Boise Idaho our home office and Disney World for annual leadership training, I am able to visit new cities each year all across the country for our Annual Scentsy Family Reunion.

In this life of uncertainty I know that Scentsy is one of the things that I can count on. Because I do not know if our son will ever be able to live on his own or even read a book at this time I know that we will always be able to take care of him if that is in fact what we need to do. I know that I am setting an example for our daughter, I am showing her that there are no limits to the success she can achieve in life and that obstacles are not walls but only small hurdles.  I know that she see's a mom that is strong, works hard and chooses to persevere. Scentsy is what my kids have always known and I am so glad.  I can honestly say I am so blessed in this life and one of those most precious blessings has been this company.

My journey is just beginning, and I encourage you if you have ever considered becoming part of my family as a Scentsy brother or sister don't wait, don't make excuses to put it off until tomorrow, next week or next month, your opportunity is knocking! Open the door and let me help you do it! I am proof that it is possible, the sky is the limit, reach for it with me! Your journey can begin today! -Aspen
