Woot woot! I'm back!!!

WOO HOO!!!  2012 IS HERE!!

Let's see if I can discipline myself to go back to blogging on a daily basis!!!

For me, 2011 wasn't a very eventful year.  Although we did go on an impromptu, last minute Cruise in October, that's about all the traveling that we did.  Which is quite unusual for us.  We normally go to Minnesota at least twice during the year, however this year we didn't even go once!  The year flew by so quickly ~ and when the Holidays rolled around, we totally were not in the mood

to do ANY celebrating whatsoever!  We did host our Annual Gile Holiday Party, which was an amazing success, complete with awesome White Elephant Gift Exchange!

I made some wonderful new friendships with some pretty amazing individuals which I am truly grateful for!  So in that sense, I don't regret 2011.......yet I don't think it'll go down in the books as

an "awesome" year for the Gile family here in California!

With that being said, here's the last page in our book of 2011.

So, let's talk about what's new!  There are several 'important' new beginnings for me:

1)  I have been a Scentsy Consultant for 4 months now.

2)  I'm a very new Paparazzi Jewelry & Accessories Consultant

3) I will be treating both the above businesses as my 'REAL JOB' (as some people say I don't have)

In 2010 it was one of my yearly Goals to read 100 books in the year.  I accomplished just that.  

Last year, despite the fact that I listed all my 2011 Goals & Wishes for the year, 

(which you can read  ----->  here.)

 Seldomly did I even attempted to reach said goals.  

THIS YEAR, I am going to strive to simultaneously accomplish all of my goals I set

as well as cross things off of My Bucket List!!

In a completely separate Blog Post, I'm going post the following lists:

* 2012 Goals & Wishes

* My Life's Bucket List

Here's to hoping you all can help keep me accountable for everything  on my lists!

Have an AMAZING 2012!!

*Types of Scentsy Parties*

Love Scentsy Warmers? 

Love earning FREE Scentsy? We have 4 different ways 

you can earn FREE Scentsy!  

HOME PARTY


A traditional approach is a Home Party. You invite several of your friends & family to your home for a fun night!!  I’ll arrive a few minutes early to set up a beautiful display. When your guests arrive, I will spend just a little time and demonstrate how Scentsy works. This is a great approach if Scentsy is new to you or your friends. We’ll talk briefly about the variety of warmers and scents, how SAFE a warmer is, and how to use and change a Scentsy bar. It won’t take long to show you just how easy it is to fill your home with the latest Scentsation! 

OPEN HOUSE

For more of a casual like atmosphere or if your guests are already familiar with Scentsy, an Open House is a great option. Together, we’ll determine a two to three hour period of time to hold your Open House. I’ll arrive about an hour early to set up. Once your Open House starts, we'll spend some time talking with guests as they come and go sharing scents! This is a fun, casual and low-pressure way to share Scentsy with your friends, neighbors and family.

BASKET PARTY

This is a compact kit which contain mini testers in all 80+ Scents that we currently have available.  It's so compact that you can carry it in one hand, keep in your purse or take to your office and from home to home as you visit friends and family. My Basket Party includes the fragrance testers, order forms and everything you need to host a Scentsy Basket Party. Use the kit for a few days or a week, and then return it to me and we’ll close your party! A Scentsy Basket Party is great if you don’t have the time or space to hold a more traditional Home Party. 

ONLINE PARTY

This is the simplest of all parties. It’s like an Open House but online. We will create a  Facebook Event page to invite your guests local or out of state to visit your specific Online Party Link on my website. Your guests are free to order at their convenience until the designated party closing time. 

If any of these appeal to you, please do not hesitate to contact me so we can get your Scentsy Party scheduled today!!
