Scentsy Elizabeth McClure Baker Chico Ca 530-566-5643 WebDirecting.Biz

Melissa | Mountain Valley Living Magazine

Scentsy began with a simple idea—a safe, wickless alternative to scented candles—and quickly grew into one of the most successful direct selling companies in the world. This wickless concept is simply decorative ceramic warmers designed to melt scented wax with the heat of a light bulb instead of a traditional wick and flame. Safe and simple.

In less than eight years, Scentsy has generated more than $1 billion in revenue. Today, Elizabeth McClure Baker, passionate Independent Scentsy Director, shares the Scentsy experience and the Scentsy difference throughout the Chico,Ca area.

On March 1st 2012 Scentsy Wickless released its Spring/Summer 2012 Catalog, featuring the new product line, Layers by Scentsy—a personal fragrance experience that lets customers build a signature scent using nine personal and laundry care fragrance products. The line extension includes eight new fragrance products, plus Scentsy Solid Perfume introduced in 2011. The eight new products include shower cream, shower gel, body lotion, body butter, body spray, hand cream, Washer Whiffs—a laundry fragrance additive that dissolves in the washing machine, and Dryer Disks—a reusable, anti-static fragrance enhancer.

Elizabeth is proud to announce the May 1st 2012 release of Velata, featuring a patent-pending, silicone dish on an electric warmer paired with the world’s finest quality Belgian chocolate to create a fun, easy-to-use, and delicious fondue experience. Scentsy isn’t just wickless candles anymore.
