Happy Halloween!


I love Halloween! I think most of it is just this time of year ... the leaves changing to vibrant colors, the jeans-and-sweatshirt coolness of the air, football ... I just love it all!  Halloween just tops it off.  After today, the craziness begins!  Only three weeks (and 3 days) until Thanksgiving!  Then it's holiday parties, craft shows, shopping, decorating, SNOW ... UGH ... I'm already feeling stressed out!

So, for right now, I'm going to calm myself, sit back and relax, and enjoy the rest of fall!

I hope everyone gets more 'treats' than 'tricks' ... take time today and enjoy something just for you!

Traveling Sasha


This is Sasha.  She is one of the newest Scentsy Buddys, and just happens to also be the Fall 2011 Scentsy Charitable Cause (100% proceeds of the sales of Sasha go to Ronald McDonald House).  I feel that since Sasha is doing so much for charity, she deserves a vacation every once in a while.  This past weekend she accompanied me and my Beta Sigma Phi sisters to Beckley, WV for a BSP convention.  The theme was all to do with "treasure" so I know Sasha was just thrilled to be hanging out with all the bling, and of course the "girls weekend" was a perfect way to start out her travels.

Is anyone going anywhere interesting and fun?  Do you want to take Sasha with you?

I think it would be fun to let Sasha be my "Flat Stanley" and let her travel all over the world, but I need help getting her there.  Let me know if you think Sasha could fit into your vacation plans.  All I'm asking for is a picture of Sasha, with a short description of where she's been and what she's done for me to post on my blog ... and now-a-days this is easily done by email.  So, what do you think?

P.S.  If you would rather have your own Scentsy Buddy to hang out with, go to http://catscorner.scentsy.us.  There are a total of 9 different animals, and they are all just as cute as Sasha!  :)

Scentsy's Warmer of the Month: October 2011

Snapshot
I got my warmer of the month a couple weeks ago and I had to take it out of the box right away. I LOVE this warmer!  I normally don't say that ... I might go with "cute", "interesting", or "different" ... but this one I LOVE!  I can't believe that it's taken this long for them to come up with this concept; a photo frame on a warmer!  And the neutral colors make it perfect for any room in the house.  This one is definitely a keeper!


Snapshot and Autumn Stroll (scent of the month) are available for 10% off during October.  Let me know and you can have your very own here in about 2 weeks.


Have a scentsational week!

Part of a Complete Breakfast

I love fall!  I love the sights, smells, and tastes that fall brings.  And with fall comes Halloween!  And with Halloween comes the fun costumes, decorations, and I will definitely not leave out the candy as well as all the other yummy treats!  So, G and I were grocery shopping last night, and displayed at the end of an isle was cereal.  Not unusual, I agree.  But this was not just any cereal!  BOO BERRY!!!! For some reason, General Mills (the Big G) has decided that Boo Berry, along with Frankenberry and Count Chocula will only reappear once a year.  Was this always like this?  I seem to remember seeing it the cereal isle on a regular basis.  Anyway, now that they are only out around Halloween it totally sucks because I love these cereals!  So, of course, even though I'm supposed to be back on my "eating healthy" thing, I had to get a box of Boo Berry ... and just finished off my first bowl this morning!  Mmmmmm!



First commercial with Boo Berry (1973).

I don't remember, as I was growing up, getting to have too many "fun" cereals.  Dad would always buy stuff like "puffed rice" (which to me had the consistency of mushy cardboard, and tasted how I thought mushy cardboard would taste) and really expected me and my sister to eat it.  And when we didn't, and it would sit in the cupboard and get old and stale and need to be thrown away, then he would swear not to buy us cereal ever again.  But for some reason, I remember Boo Berry.  I don't know if this memory is from when I was younger or from when I was older and was able to buy my own cereal.  All I know is this cereal ROCKS!

Are there any cereals you remember from your childhood that you absolutely love?
