Well! It has officially felt like the longest winter and I am ready for new life! It has been a while since I have focused on adding value to others by giving flowers. This was something I looked forward to every friday just the chance to show someone that they were loved and valued! It…
This week was my husbands 31st birthday and as I spent time thinking of why I was thankful for him I decided to put it into a list of 31 reasons. I happened to be married to a man who is more than selfless and loves me unconditionally. As a kid who grew up struggling…
Each year I choose a word to focus on. I spend time thinking about what I want my year to look like, how I want to grow, and where I want focus. This year I chose the word Celebration with a focus on the word perspective. Contrary to what many think and see from me,…
I get comments, questions, and have a lot of conversations around our interaction and openness through social media, mainly Facebook. Questions of why we share so often, why we “write love notes” on each other’s walls, and why use it so often. On a regular basis I think of why we use social media to…
As I was enjoying the day after Christmas resting on the couch the tv happened to catch my attention. I heard the words AVON and SOUTH AFRICA. Knowing very little about South Africa, but enough to know it’s culture, I immediately tuned in. I listened to a woman who lived in one of the poorest…
The season of giving, blessing others, and gratitude is among us! I am particularly crazy about the holiday season! I get excited in the fall as we prepare to welcome in all the beauty that Thanksgiving and Christmas bring. Each year I catch flack for putting my Christmas decorations and lights up “too early”. I…
My Scentsy story actually started in October of 2011. I was invited to a party by a friend, and had never heard of the product. I already used candles, but, with a History of a house fire in our family, I was rather nervous about it. Scentsy seemed like a perfect solution! I had to…
I have had a lot of friends going through hard times and I found myself wondering this morning what is it we want out of life?I am sure the list would look like rainbows and butterflies in our fantasy world. All money to pay the bills, kids who were respectful, a dashing husband who would sweep…
My name is Hope Labutis and I am a SuperStar consultant with a team of 20 amazing individuals. I sell both of our Family brands but love, love, love Velata the most. I started selling Scentsy in August of 2011 to “get a life” because my baby was starting kindergarten. You see, we are homeschoolers….
My husband often tells me silly things like I am out of his league. This morning as I was lamenting over my pregnancy swelling he went on and on to build me up. He often spends a lot of his words building me up and telling me how valuable I am. Lucky girl, I know!!!…
They say it takes a village to raise a child. I don’t know that I always understood that statement but today, on a field trip with my daughter, I saw this in action. It was our first kindergarten field trip and I think I learned as much as Molly did! When we first arrived and…
This month marks a huge turn in our lives three years ago. I remember when I blew off Scentsy and said I didn’t want anything to do with direct sales because I don’t enjoy being pushed into something and I don’t want to push others. When I fell in love with the product my only…
This is the AMAZING Amanda Johnson. Amanda and I are from the same group and because of Scentsy she is my more than just my upline, she is one of my best and closest friends. She is an amazing person with an amazing heart, and although there are times she is far to humble for…
Here’s a need, there’s a need, everywhere there is a need. We have always been a family that enjoys giving. It’s not to add “jewels to a crown” not for accolades or public displays of gratitude, but simply that it feels good to do it. Over the last year Mark and I have been working…
In September 2012, I was in my second year of college at Penn State and newly engaged working a part time job. Being 19 years old, I hadn’t really had any type of sales experience in my life. I had worked at a local deli, Kathy’s Deli, and that is about it. I didn’t know…
I don’t talk much of my personal life because then it wouldn’t be so personal, but with a big step in my life journey I found myself in a lot of reflection of my personal life. Some know and many don’t that I don’t have a personal relationship with my dad. My mom and my…
As many know, this is just the beginning of my favorite time of year! So many exciting things happening and all on the riding on the cusp of the most magical time of the year. Naturally it is September 5th and I am watching Elf while I get some work done. This movie is typically…
My Scentsy Family Journey began April 16th, 2011. I was working as a preschool teacher and had found out that I was going to lose my job because of budget cuts the day my kit arrived. As I opened my kit tears streamed down my face at the idea of loosing my job. I started…
So today officially marks the countdown to leaving my 20’s. Being a woman, in the middle of being pregnant with my third child, and on the cusp of my thirties I have spent a lot of time reflecting on all the amazing things that have come my way and lessons I have learned before this…
