Contribute 2009

A: Scentsy contributed $100,000 to 40 small businesses in its home community to celebrate its Fifth Anniversary. Many Scentsy consultants expressed an interest in contributing further. Contribute 2009 was designed to give Scentsy consultants that opportunity but then was expanded to include everyone who wanted to participate. We hope Contribute 2009 will grow, expand and spread across the country because true contribution is not tied to what you receive.
Our goal is to inspire 100,000 people to pledge to spend an extra $50 at locally owned small businesses on October 12, 2009. That’s a $5 million economic infusion that can create a ripple effect in communities across the nation. That’s big help for small business.
A: Go to www.scentsycontribute.org and click on the Consultant Pledge or Public Pledge tab. Pledge to spend $50 at a small business in your local community. You can buy a Contribute 2009 T-shirt for only $9 to wear when you shop on October 12 or another day that week. We also encourage you to spread the word.
A: You are pledging to spend an extra $50 at a small business in your community on October 12, 2009 or another day that week. By doing so, you will be part of a collective contribution to small businesses and the surrounding communities.
A: As a Scentsy Independent Consultant, we are asking you pledge to spend an extra $50 to help small businesses, and to recruit four people to do the same. By doing so, you will receive a free Scentsy 5th Anniversary T-shirt.
For everyone else, we are asking you to pledge to spend an extra $50 at a small business in your local community. Although we encourage you to involve your family and friends in this event, it is not required when you pledge.
A: Go to www.scentsycontribute.org and pledge to spend $50 in your local community. After you click SUBMIT on the pledge, you will be directed to the Contribute 2009 T-shirt ordering page where you can purchase your Contribute 2009 T-shirt by filling in the required shipping and billing information, and providing a credit card number.
A: To receive a $10 Scentsy Gift Certificate, please provide your email, birth date and gender in the required fields. After the October 12 shopping day, Scentsy will send your birthday Gift Certificate via email. You can use that gift certificate to purchase Scentsy product through a Scentsy independent consultant.
A: After you spend your $50 in your local community, please share your experience with us. At www.scentsycontribute.org, click on the ‘Share your Story’ tab and fill in the necessary information and tell us your story. Feel free to upload a photo you may have of your experience. If you are a Scentsy Consultant, we would also like you to post your story on your workstation. The Share Your Story tab will be open to share your story after October 12, 2009.

Last Chance!
Photo taken by Kelly BennettPS - Try & pretend I am not chubby in the new family picture on my page header above. This was only 2 weeks after having McKai.
Now, for some AWESOME Scentsy news. I am excited to let everyone know that if there was ever a time to buy Scentsy, now would be the time! All Scentsy products from the Spring/Summer Catalog are 10% off, excluding the Multi-packs: Perfect Scentsy, Scentsy Sampler & Double the Scentsy - but they are already more than 10% off anyway. To see the Spring/Summer catalog and see exactly what is on sale, click here. Or, go to my website: www.scentsy.com/mistybarry and click on ‘View Catalog’.
Even though this 10% off includes all Scentsy products, Scentsy is also discontinuing a bunch of items to make room for their new Fall/Winter line and all of these items are included in the 10% off sale. I wanted to let all of my wonderful customers know about all of the items discontinued because you won’t have an opportunity to purchase any of them ever again after this month. I am so sad because a few of my favorites are going to be no more. You may want to try them out, so you don’t miss out on the AWESOMENESS!
Some of my favorite scents that are getting discontinued are: Fresh Cut Cantaloupe, Grapefruit Blossom, Havana Cabana, Lemon Lavender, Mediterranean Spa, Sangria, Spiced Orange Harvest, Spruceberry and Toasted Apple Butter. I think the only scent on the entire list that I don’t like at all is Herb Garden…take my word for it…this one is not good! See the full list of scents below.
Some of my favorite warmers that are getting discontinued are: Bombay, Brownstone, Dandy Brown (Plug-in), Pressed Penny, Weave Black (Plug-in). See the full list of warmers below.
Please e-mail me your orders at: mistyviolet@hotmail.com by August 27 at 11:00 a.m., if you want to receive free shipping and be included on this 10% off sale. August 27, is when I will be placing my last order for the month. If you need your items sooner or last-minute for a Birthday or Wedding, let me know because I have plenty of items in stock that would be available for immediate pickup or would be able to place another order, and can ship anywhere, if needed.
Thanks to all of my awesome customers for sticking by me, especially while I have been taking care of my sweet little boys. That is why I love selling Scentsy because I get to use the product that I believe in 100% and I get to share with all of my friends and family at times that work for my family. If you are interest in starting a business for only $100 that allows you to pick your own schedule, Scentsy is for you too! Also, August is the best month to sign up as a consultant because they give you all of the Spring/Summer items along with all of the Fall/Winter items. Definitely, the best bang for your buck! I totally appreciate everyone and it’s because of you - I love Scentsy that much more!
PS - Click HERE for a sneak peak at the new Fall/Winter catalog that I can place orders for starting September 1.
Thanks,
Take care, and remember, practice Safe Scents!

Utah Barbie Release
Mattel recently announced the release of limited-edition Barbie Dolls for the Utahmarket:
'Park City Barbie'
She comes with an assortment of Kate Spade Handbags, a Lexus SUV, a long-haired foreign dog named Honey and a million dollar home. Available with or without tummy tuck and face lift. Workaholic Ken sold only in conjunction with the augmented version.

'Draper Barbie'
The modern day homemaker Barbie is available with Ford Wind star Minivan and matching gym outfit. She gets lost easily and has no full-time occupation. Traffic jamming cell phone sold separately.

'Ogden Barbie'
This recently paroled Barbie comes with a 9mm handgun, a Ray Lewis knife, a Chevy with dark tinted windows, and a meth Lab Kit. This model is only available after dark and must be paid for in cash (preferably small, untraceable bills) unless you are a cop; then we don't know what you are talking about.

'Sandy Barbie'
This yuppie Barbie comes with your choice of BMW convertible or Hummer H2. Included are her own Starbucks cup, credit card and country club membership. Also available for this set are Shallow Ken and Private School Skipper. You won't be able to afford any of them.

'Spanish Fork Barbie'
This pale model comes dressed in her own Wrangler jeans two sizes too small, a NASCAR t-shirt and Tweety Bird tattoo on her shoulder. She has a six-pack of Bud light and a Hank Williams Jr. CD set. She can spit over 5 feet and kick Mullet-Haired Ken's butt when she is drunk. Purchase her pickup truck separately and get a confederate flag bumper sticker absolutely free.

'Scipio Barbie'
This tobacco-chewing, brassy-haired Barbie has a pair of her own high-heeled sandals with one broken heel from the time she chased Beer-Gutted Ken out of Spanish Fork Barbie's house. Her ensemble includes low-rise acid-washed jeans, fake fingernails, and a see-through halter-top. Also available with a mobile home.

'Moab Barbie'
This doll is made of actual tofu. She has long straight brown hair, arch-less feet, hairy armpits, no makeup and Birkenstocks with white socks. She prefers that you call her Willow. She does not want or need a Ken doll, but if you purchase two MoabBarbies and the optional Subaru wagon, you get a rainbow flag bumper sticker for free.

'West Valley Barbie'
This Barbie now comes with a stroller and 2 infant dolls. Optional accessories include a GED and bus pass. White boy Gangsta Ken and his 1979 Caddy were available, but are now very difficult to find since the addition of the infant.

'Provo / BYU Barbie'
She's perfect in every way, mainly due to the high levels of antidepressants in her system. We don't know where Ken is because he's always at church meetings.

Support Misty's Super-Adorable Maternity Dress Fund!
Solution - I told myself that if I can sell enough Scentsy in the next couple of weeks to afford the dress, then I can justify buying it!

Isn't the above pictured new warmer absolutely gorgeous (I THINK SO). You can get it at 10% off the regular price. :)
I will throw in a FREE car candle for anyone that orders $25 or more, a FREE Scentsy bar for anyone that orders $50 or more & the BIG WHAMMY, a FREE Plug-in for anyone that spends $100 or more!
Please people, I NEED this dress!
If Only.....

If I only had $200 to blow on a dress that I would wear 8 times (at the most) in the next couple of months, during my pregnancy. Wouldn't that be awesome!

I feel FAT...

But sadly, it's a little too close to home. Thank your lucky stars that I don't have any shorts that tight or short! And luckily, I get to wear scrubs to work....not that they are super-flattering, but they (sort-of) conceal stuff. Honestly, I could roast marshmallows under these uniforms and no one would know!
Nothing like being pregnant and getting depressed every time I step on the scale because even though this weight gain is all fine and dandy for the baby, I am just going to have to lose all this CRAP after I deliver. And to make matters worse, I have no extra help having to deliver by c-section.
So seriously people...feel bad for me! :)

In Need of a Refresher....

I have been out of the loop for a few years and I know that things have changed. Is there something new and better now? My cousin Rachel just had a baby a couple of months back and apparently, there is a new diaper out now that changes color on the outside to tell you if the diaper is wet or dry - HOW COOL!
What are your favorite bottles or what is your favorite baby carrying device, etc.? It doesn't have to be something new, just something that maybe I didn't figure out with my first. So, please leave me a comment telling me some of your favorite pregnancy things, post-pregnancy things or baby things.
Thanks for the tips - in advance....

Mother's Day & Teacher Appreciation Day!
Not just because I sell Scentsy, do I think that it is an UBER-AWESOME gift, but even before I started the business, I was giving Scentsy as gifts. Who out there doesn't love their house to smell wonderful, loves decor and loves products that are safe? No one that I know!
I have two great specials going on right now:
If you would like to order one of these specials, please e-mail me your order at: mistyviolet@hotmail.com. (I accept all major credit cards, check and cash.)

Who else is excited for DWTS?

But now, his loss is our gain. They just announced last night that she is the newest cast member for this season's Dancing with the Stars. She only had 48 hours to practice, but with a little dance background, she did so much better than most of the people that had 4 weeks to practice.
Aside from Melissa, I am equally excited for almost everyone they cast. Including the pros and the fact that they now have a couple more runner-ups from SYTYCD. I still would've preferred they pick Kendra (other Girl Next Door), but Holly might shock us and bring a little entertainment. Who knows, we may have a Janet Jackson (boop pop-out of dress) mishap. I totally see it happening!
PS - I know my blog is meant to be a journal for my family, but I just can't help posting about DWTS - I love dance reality TV!

If you're pregnant....

It is the first prego lotion that I have used that actually seems like it works. It's made by Burt's Bees and is loaded with all the stuff to help you keep stretch marks non-existent.
I love Burt's Bees lip balm and Todd does too. He put the Belly Butter in my stocking (along with a bunch of other cool prego things) for Christmas and I am so glad he did (although, I catch him using it every now and then) it's just that AWESOME!

Update on Tristan
Tristan has recently been doing very well with potty-training (minus the occasional dropping the kids off anywhere, but the pool accidents & sometimes accidents during bedtime). So, I thought I would share a few pictures of his potty-training mishaps.
This picture is of Tristan in the naughty corner (he decided to lay down) and a lot of the time he puts his undies on backwards, so he can see the really big picture of the really cool superhero or animated character printed on the (supposed to be) bum of his underwear.
Tristan is so much fun lately. He is getting to be such a big boy and will play with Daddy for hours on end. He loves to build legos and still loves superheros (Spiderman especially) and any type of sports ball he can get his hands on.
He is very independent, to the point that I need to plan an extra 10 - 15 minutes just to get in the car. He wants to walk to the car himself (going down the cement stairs in the garage very carefully) and he wants to get in the car and sit in his car seat all by himself. You wouldn't think this would take very long, but for a 2 year old, everything goes at a snails pace.
He tells me how much he likes the snow, but wishes it was sunny warm again, so he can go play outside. He also has learned that there is such thing as dirty snow (thank goodness he didn't learn from the yellow stuff!).
He still has a rough time realizing that the baby in mom's tummy is a boy. For the longest time, he told us it was a girl and we didn't do or say anything to influence him otherwise. Now that we know the baby really is a boy, we try and remind him all the time. It's really cute when he gives my belly kisses or puts his hand on my belly and says "the baby kicked me mommy!"
Tristan has a Superhero poster on the wall in his bedroom (thanks to Daddy's "this looks great here" mentality) even though it doesn't go with the decor at all! Anyway, it has ALL of the Marvel superheros on it and Tristan knows at least 50 of them and will point them out at a moments notice. Now, if he did the same thing with the map of the US....but, it doesn't happen!
Tristan loves PB & Honey sandwiches and each time we get out the honey, he tells me that Scott gave him that honey. Which, he did. Our neighbor Scott has bee boxes in his yard and gives us honey from time-to-time. We have such great neighbors! This is also the same neighbor that went to clown school and makes balloon animals for Tristan from time-to-time.
He still loves sweets and probably one of the only reasons we were able to potty-train him. Nothing like a little treat to reward a little boy for tinkling in the tinker!
He will be 3 in June and I am hoping to have an early b-day party for him. The baby is supposed to be delivered within 3 days of his Birthday, but I don't want to make his party any less special, so I thought it would be better to do earlier. He keeps saying he wants a Spiderman Birthday party (which he pretty much had both Birthdays already), but I guess the kid gets what he wants on his Birthday!
So, I am trying to find a good Spiderman or Green Goblin costume, so his daddy or one of our relatives can dress up and make fools of themselves. I figured I could call a costume shop, but wondered if anyone that reads my blog might have a good Halloween costume that will fit a grown man. Let me know!
I love my little boy and am excited to have two little boys that will be able to play with each other sometime in the near future. Although, I pretty much have two kids right now. Daddy does as much playing as Tristan does. I actually catch Todd from time-to-time building various architectural designs on Tristan's new Lego table, even without Tristan. So far, they have built the temple, downtown SLC, Las Vegas, a building that should be in Dubai, a spider, castles, a skate ramp, etc.
