Initials Inc Giveaway

The Winner for the Initial Giveaway is Jan Messali!  Congratulations, please check your email for your confirmation email!

Initials Inc is another familiar bag company that I have just discovered through a friend.  I had never heard of it before until my good friend Stacy Clancy had started selling their products.  After looking through their catalog I have to say that they will give Thirty-One a 'run for their money' especially considering that their personalization is FREE!

So, now I've given you a little teaser on the products, how about a giveaway? Yes you say, well then read on....

Stacy Clancy is offering up a really super cute 'Get a Grip Bag' - in the color of your choice!

"See how many different ways you can use this! Perfect for remote controls,
gaming accessories, knitting or crochet supplies, hair care items, gardening supplies - this little guy helps you to get a grip on it whatever IT is! Single handle with open interior, 9 exterior pockets of varying sizes. Microfiber. Available in Mum Stripe, Gray Damask, and NEW Chocolate, Black, Rainforest, Wave, and Pink Stripe."

Have you heard about Velata?

Scentsy, renamed the Scentsy GROUP, is introducing a whole new line of products called Velata.  


Technically Velata doesn't launch until May 1st however the catalog has been made available to consultants and I've had the opportunity to sample the chocolates and  I must tell you that Velata chocolate is not the same chocolate that you can get from the stores, trust me when I tell you this!  


I'm a chocolate connaisseur having been born and raised in Frankfurt, making many trips to Belgium to get chocolates I can tell you that the claim Scentsy is making that they went to Belgium, found the best chocolatiers to have them make these chocolates is true because I have never tasted better chocolate in my life!


So, here is the quick low down from my consultant's Scentsy blog about Velata;


"We set out in search of the world’s most blow-your-mind chocolate. Our journey took us to (where else) Belgium—the world capital of fine chocolate. We found the perfect chocolate with the purest ingredients and the velvetiest (sometimes you have to invent a word) consistency. The kind of chocolate fondue you want to dip into, heart and soul.
Perfect chocolate needs a perfect melt! So we invented a patent-pending silicone dish heated by a light bulb in a hip, fun, smart fondue warmer. Who else but Scentsy could find a hip, fun, smart way to use a light bulb?

Whether you are a foodie, a trendsetter, or just someone who thinks of chocolate as its own food group, Velata fondue products are for you.

Take a dip in indulgent Velata chocolate. Once you’re hooked, make sure to take a look at the Velata opportunity. You never know, you may make a life out of your love of chocolate.

Crafted from premium cocoa beans by one of the most prestigious chocolate companies in the world, Velata chocolate is designed to melt beautifully and stay at the perfect temperature for dipping. Velata Premium Belgian Chocolate contains no fillers or oils, resulting in the purest—and most purely indulgent—chocolate fondue experience.

Dish: Patent-pending silicone dish is microwave and dishwasher safe. It distributes heat evenly, keeping Velata chocolate at the perfect temperature without stirring. And clean-up is a breeze—just toss the dish in the top rack of your dishwasher.

Warmer base: The heat of a 25-watt light bulb gently warms Velata chocolate. No scorching, no flame, no complicated instructions. Choose from 3 sleek designs and 8 colors, from classic black to trendy orange.

Dimmer switch: Adjust the temperature of Velata chocolate (based on the type of chocolate selected) with the adjustable dimmer switch.

Velata Fondue Forks: Each Velata Fondue Warmer comes with a matching set of four fondue forks. Additional forks available separately, see page 11 of the catalog.

Velata Premium Chocolate: Melt exquisite Velata chocolate in the microwave and pour it into the patent-pending Velata Fondue Warmer dish. Fondue has never been simpler … or more delicious."

So, is your mouth watering yet? Well if it's not it will be soon!  I am offering one of my blog readers the golden opportunity to win one of the new Velata warmers and one pouch of chocolate of his or her choosing.  

This giveaway has ended - and the WINNER IS (*drum roll please*) MARK WEST!  Congratulations on winning your very own Velata Warmer and Chocolate!

Perfectly Posh Giveaway-CLOSED!

WINNER OF THE PERFECTLY POSH GIVEAWAY IS DENISE D. CONGRATULATIONS!

I am not sure how many of you have heard of Perfectly Posh but I am excited to tell you about them. I had not heard of them and I am incerdibly happy that I met Stacy Clancy an Independent Perfectly Posh Consultant.

The reason so many of us haven't heard of Perfectly Posh is because they are a new company having just formed in 2011. I don't think it will take long for their products to take all of us by storm.

Perfectly Posh offers great products that help you to pamper yourself. Best of all their products are not just made from Mother Nature they are also made HERE in the USA!

Direct from their site:

"Perfectly Posh proudly offers pure, pampering products. We carefully select the lines, fragrances, and ingredients we offer you, to let you indulge body and mind. It is a pursuit of Perfectly Posh to give you products that you can be proud to wear and to share.

Posh offers you things made from the very best ingredients on earth. From luxurious shea and cocoa butters, to indulgent and nourishing oils, you can be sure that our products are the highest-quality formulations you can find. Find peace of mind knowing we're: • Paraben-free • SLS-free • Gluten-free • Soy-free • Animal by-product free We offer pampering that is spa-grade, long-lasting, and a fabulous experience. Perfectly Posh uses tocopherol (vitamin E) as it's primary preservative, and we fragrance with high-quality perfumes and essential oils. Take care of yourself with products that will please you both mind and body.

Prepare to be passionate about our pursuit! We offer over forty unique, creatively branded products to choose from. Whether you want to take a long, leisurely bath, or need to brighten your mood on the go: Posh is for you. Find an Independent Consultant near you today, and indulge today in our fabulous USA-made products."

Like many DS companies, Perfectly Posh offers online sales, parties and of course the opportunity to start your own business selling these great products. The difference between Perfectly Posh and other DS companies is that they are NEW and there is a limited number of consultants in the U.S. This means you have a great opportunity here to now only do well with sales but also with building your own team!

So, the question is, do you want to give Perfectly Posh a try? I know you do and thanks to Stacy Clancy you are going to get a chance to do exactly that. Stacy has agreed to send the winner a wonderful package of Perfectly Posh sample products valued at $29!

The LIMITED EDITION Lovey Dovey Set includes;

Confetti Soap

Sparkling Soap

Pink Soap

Pink Vanilla Massage Mud

Bubble Love Bombinator

Now that I know you really want to win, how about I tell you how to do so?

Reminders, Deals, and Announcements

A Few Reminders,

I am hosting a Scentsy Giveaway, HERE, similar rules to the Thirty-One Giveaway so make sure to check that out!

Thirty-One Outlet Sale is coming to a close TONIGHT so visit THIS LINK and SHOP NOW!

A Few Deals,

If you plan on spending $150+ at Scentsy, call Patience at (484) 300-9527. If you don't plan on spending that much, get a few friends together and place a combined order and call Patience to place the order. Here is why:

When you spend $150 on Scentsy's website, you get 1- 1/2 price item and free shipping. When you call Patience with an order of that size, in the month of January, you get TWO-1/2 Price items, $15 in FREE products and FREE SHIPPING! You do have to call her though to get that deal! Visit Patience's Scentsy Consultant Site HERE.

Tupperware is also having some DOUBLE rewards in January, but you have to call Patience and she will put you in as a party to get those great deals! Visit Patience's Tupperware Consultant Site HERE.

Additionally Thirty-One has very similar DOUBLE rewards in January, but again you have to call Patience to get them. With Thirty-One, you spend $200 and you qualify as a party. You will get AFTER PARTY BUCKS, which is $25 in FREE PRODUCT NOW and a $25 Gift Certificate to spend in February when the NEW catalog comes out! Along with your free products, depending on how much you spend, you get 1/2 price products and can purchase Hostess Exclusive items. Visit Patience's Thirty-One Consultant Site HERE.

Lori over at Nemesis Productions says "A gentle reminder that the coupon cod spoilyourself15 is still good on my website. Enter it at checkout to receive 15% off your order of $10 or more before shipping. (not valid on the Caustic line!)" So get on over there and use that coupon HERE.

A Few Announcements,

Well there is only ONE announcement but it is a big one. As most of you know, my name is Sheree. I took over this blog from Patience because she wasn't able to keep it up herself AND because Thirty-One told her she was not allowed to have a blog where she discussed Thirty-One (even though it was really her personal blog and she discussed MANY things NOT JUST Thirty-One-but whatever) she gave it to me to handle as long as I agreed to do reviews and giveaways for her (which I would do anyways). With this in mind I want to announce that the blog URL will be changing directly after the conclusion of the Scentsy Giveaway. Please make sure to follow the blog (on the right hand side) or email me direct at Sheree.Hunsburger@gmail.com if you want to be sent a reminder of the NEW URL once it changes.

Once it is changed, you will not be redirected to the NEW URL when you visit the old, so please consider emailing me and asking to be made aware of the new site address OR 'Like' my Facebook page because I announce it there or Follow me on Twitter as I will announce it there as well.

This is all I please enjoy your weekend!
