Smells like a contest

Category Contests

Sometimes I think I’m not a very girly girl, and part of that is due to the fact that I don’t really get some of the girly things that my girlfriends do. Like… scented candles. They confuse me. Actually, they kind of worry me. I worry I’ll forget that I have one lit and one of my kids or the dog will knock it over and set the house on fire. It’s a good thing I don’t tend towards the hysterical, right? (Ahem.)

Anyway, I’m fairly intrigued by scented warmers, because they’re a lot safer than open flames, and seem to deliver that whole my-your-house-smells-yummy kind of thing in a much more convenient, less worrisome way. So when the very lovely Michelle Schrock—who is an independent director with Scentsy (here’s a handy shopping link for her site)—contacted me about doing a giveaway, I said absolutely. So here’s the deal, pretty ones: Michelle is going to gift two lucky Want Not readers with a Scentsy System Multi Pack, which includes a pretty warmer and three scent bars (you choose the fragrances you’d like to receive). Wouldn’t you like to win one? Of course you would!

First go review the contest rules and regulations, then come on back here and leave a comment on this post by 11:59 p.m. Eastern (that’s 8:59 p.m. Pacific) on Wednesday, February 17th, 2010 to be entered. Winners to be determined by random number generation and aromatherapy.

Ready? Go!

  18. me me! 😀

  19. I have a 3 yr old boy in the house. I can use all of the pretty smells that I can get. Pick me please!

  20. totally could use this!

  21. We had flooding between the two snowstorms, and our basement still has a kind of not-so-fresh feeling, so this would be great for us!

  22. I’d love it!!

  23. With 2 toddlers, open flames are not a good idea. This would be great!

  24. I would love this for my classroom! Sometimes high school kids just smell a little funky for no particular reason.

  25. oooh! this sounds great. i used to have a warmer when i taught school. one friday, one of my students turned my scent warmer on while there was a substitute. i discovered it the next monday…the room smelled really strong, but there was no damage. i’m sure that’s not a recommended use or anything, but i’m just saying they’re safe.

  26. I love scented candles but I would love to try this too! Yummy baking scents without the need for baking or the calories. 🙂

  27. Hey I’m game for that. I’ve heard good things about them.

  28. Sounds great – thanks for the chance!

  29. Count me in on this one! Nothing to forget about blowing out when I pass out on the couch after a day of kids.

  30. I <3 smelly things but cannot have candles with my small children.

  31. Sounds great, thanks, Mir!

  32. oh please please! anything to stem the smell of “i don’t have time to clean with yummy smelling orange scented cleaners” and “old apartment.” 🙂

  33. This would be great! With 5 kids and their stinky feet, I would love something that smells good in our home!!!! Pick me please!!!!!!

  34. Thanks to you both!

  35. Smells good 🙂

  36. This is a sweet smelling prize…pick me : )

  37. 32 years ago tonight the home that my daughter and I were living in burned to the ground. It had nothing to do with candles, but somehow I’ve never felt the same about them since, so yes, it would be nice to try out this alternative. You should really ask me about this experience sometime, as it turned into a keystone kops type fiasco, and taught me a great deal about my own materialism. Sigh

  38. I love smelly things…I have a smelly husband! 🙂 Ha!

  39. Oh how we could use this! Our puppy is smelling a little corn chippy and open flames plus puppy vs cat time – not always a good mix.
    Thanks again for a great contest.

  40. oh pick me please

  41. I could really use some yummy smelling stuff right now. Thanks for the great contest!

  42. How fun…I’d love to give it a try!

  43. I hear you on the fear of fire. My grandmother is the biggest worrywart in the world and scares me with horror stories all the time. This would be a great way to still have our house smell nice!

  44. mmmm….smelly goodness.

  45. Would LOVE to have one of these!! Thanks to you both for the chance to win one 🙂

  46. Me, please? I’ve got a hyper-sensitive smoke detector that occasionally likes to go off when I’ve blown out a candle. I’d love smelly without beepy!

  47. How nice! Fun!

  48. I love scented candles, but love this idea since I have kids and cats and dogs running around my house.

  49. I used to have a warmer but it just stopped working one day; could really use a new one!

  50. I’ve never heard of this and would love to try them!

  51. Whoa, bakery scents?! You had me at that (because I’m normally not all “scenty” either. I do love candles, but I use unscented due to allergies to most candle scents) since I’m not usually allergic to most bakery smells in candles. Yum. Food smells in my house…(although I am planning to make banana bread later today anyway, if I remember to grab some sour cream.)

  52. With a stinky little girl and 3 cats, I need all the good smells I can get!

  53. I love nice smelling things like candles! And these would be much safer to have around my cat as he’s very nosey and isn’t afraid of lighting stuff on fire (he turned on my gas stove one time while I was out of town – I now have childproof/catproof knob covers).

  54. I am all for trying this. I too fear I will burn the house down if I leave candles burning.

  55. Ohhh yes yes.. I love a good smelling house indeed!!

  56. Oh my. That would make an awesome birthday gift for my MIL who is so into all those scented things. Her house usually makes me sneeze.

  57. Sure, I’d give it a shot! 🙂

  58. I had a warmer in the past but it broke and I never replaced it. I love the bakery scents! NOthing like home cooking without the calories.

  59. Sounds great!

  60. Sounds good to me!

  61. I need a house that smells good! 🙂

  62. I love smelly stuff!

  63. Sounds scentsational….

  64. With 2 smelly dogs and 2 hyper kids, this sounds perfect for me! YAY!

  65. This would be nice.

  66. I’m not particularly girlie myself, but I do love things that smell nice! 🙂

  67. how exciting- all of the good smells, but without the risk of the cat setting himself on fire

  68. OHH I LOVE SMELLY STUFF

  69. I would give this a try…I like candles fine, and I’ve been reluctant to try other things because I’m worried the quality will be like canned air freshener.

  70. Lovely!

  71. Would love to try this!

  72. I love scented candles but also have a fear of them. This sounds awesome. Pick me!

  73. I have been dying to try Scentsy! I just may order some if I dont win!

  75. Stinky dog! Yes, please!

  76. Sounds goooood!

  77. ooooooooo…. this is interesting. Would LOVE to try

  78. Scented candles I think is the one girly thing I do.

  79. Just confirming what all those above me said- energetic dog + cat that knocks things over = no place for candles. Also, you can’t tell but my comment smells like vanilla and lavender.

  80. 4 dogs, 3 cats, 2 kids…..Yes we need a better smelling house.

  90. need girly, sorrounded by testosterone

  91. Listen I need something that smells good around here. I have a daycare lots of dirty diapers, 5 kids of my own with smelly feet and a dog with seboria.(makes her smelly too)

  92. As a mom of toddlers, my love of candles is on hold for a few years for safety reasons… this looks like a great substitute!

  93. This would be great! I’ve been wanting to try one of these warmers in my classroom. (My principal tends to frown on open flame around kindergarten students.)
