Scentsy Empties & A Long Talk About Where My Journey Is Going 

The struggle is real. I feel like I am in a never-ending, vicious cycle. Please just do what’s best for you. As someone else mentioned, I will watch your videos whatever you decide to share with us.

You’re definitely not alone in this. I have been thinking the same thing. I have way too much and looking for places to store it and that is not ok with me. I will be joining you in working on my inventory and I will most certainly continue watching your empties videos. Thanks for sharing. 😊

Good morning Edda. I’m with you! I have so much wax and I need to use what I have! I only ordered 3 BBMBs to try and I haven’t ordered from any vendors except for L3 in the past month! I I’ve learned I don’t have to try every new thing Scentsy puts out! Thanks for your video!

Hi Edda! I love APeeling Apple so much too, such a good one. You’re talk at the end definitely was good to hear. I need to slow down for sure. My collection has gotten crazy. I tend to think I have this many and maybe I can’t get it again etc. I have noticed the bulk of my warming is from whatever is available in the catalog and I tend to barely warm my club bars (hoard them). Makes no sense! Then I stock up when the catalog is about to change in case something I like doesn’t come back. It’s ridiculous! There is always something around to warm and enjoy. I will look forward to any videos that you do! Happy warming ☺️💕

I’m with you Edda! I’m even playing around with my clubs when they are due to ship each time so they don’t ship. I’m just working on what I have. I do have 2 clubs now. One is monthly but it’s only 4 bars( the breast cancer collection bars that I legit NEED & both warm lots for Dusty & gift to BC affected families) & one pack of cotton cleanups. But my quarterly is at 108 bars. Obviously I need to keep using up & playing around to delay shipments. I’m making slow but steady progress

I am feeling like you. I feel like I need to stock up but I don't get to the bars. I have this need to try and use up bars I don't like to get them out of my house and then I don't use the bars I do like. I know there will be all kinds of new bars coming this fall and winter and it will just keep building. I am trying really hard not to have this fear of missing out and also hoarding bars that I can't get anymore. It is overwhelming. I know its crazy since its just wax but it really does get to me.

Good Morning Edda ❤ just poured my first cup of coffee and starting my Sunday with Edda💜

You crack me up with your body reacting to saying you’re going to cut back 😂😂😂

I’m all for it! I keep using the hack to skip club while I’m working on vendor wax from 2021..I’ve only been buying L3 and even then only what I love and within reason.

It’s ironic you just made this video. I feel exactly like you. Looking at my wax collection gives me anxiety. I have purchased 18 items of vendor wax since December. I have been buying Scentsy but need to cut back there as well. I have just way too much wax and I actually have a Scentsy cart full for the past week. I stopped myself . Why was I ordering additional collections when I haven’t even melted the first one I have? I have so many great bars I haven’t even tried yet. It’s time to concentrate on what I do have. I don’t need any more wax. I’m going to cut my club to a minimum so I can get a half price item and a discount. I’m thinking of moving in the next year and don’t even know how I will transport my wax. Thank you for inspiring me even more.

I’m trying to get into the mindset of just enjoy what I have and only have multiple bars of ones I will actually warm all the time and love. I think we all struggle with this. I support you! I’m ready to cut my club down after I see what’s coming back this fall winter.

Balance…yeah, I’m still working on that. 😔 Your message resonated with what was already on my heart.

Great video. I loved the empties and enjoyed seeing what you went through 😊. I understand you!!! I have been working on getting my vendor, retail, and Scentsy collection down this past year by ( trying) to implement a 90 day no-buy every 90 days this year with a 100.00 limit for each purchase. I failed this 90-day quarter by overspending. But it's okay. I love wax. I am not going to be hard on myself. I am right back to my no-buy rules !!!😊 I support you TOTALLY. You can do it. !!!!! 😊❤

An idea to help with your bedroom struggle. 2 options one- leave Alexa connected, but set multiple on/ off cycles so she’s only on when you are there to smell the scent Option 2 get an element warmer. Disconnect Alexa & just leave the warmer on constantly unless you’re leaving the house. I have an element warmer in my bedroom ( Snow White’s well- of course for Dusty) I leave it on unless I’m leaving the house & I find 2 things. One-leaving the warmer on more seems to make me smell the scent more. Now- I use one cube per dish unless I’m mixing. So I change cubes about every 24 hours. But because of that the second thing I find is that I seem to get through a good bit more wax this way

Love this. I've stopped melting waxes in everyone room of my house; I have 3 curious little cats running around, and I want them to have somewhat of a 'low scent' area. At times I'll just have either my living room or bedroom warmer on at a time. I'm also the type to have a club account then cancel it of I get either bored or tired of the waxes, just to start one up a couple months later! Hope you have a good day!

I need to warm more and buy less. I canceled the Scent of the Month subscription as well. I will definitely tune in.

Hey Edda, great empties. I am struggling with this issue of having to let my wax cure and ending up with a massive collection because I want all the things. 😂 I feel your pain I am working on my inventory and it’s rediculous and I am starting to feel overwhelmed. I totally agree I am starting to enjoy what I have and then moving on. So much new stuff comes out all the time. I don’t have as many duplicates as you, but I probably have every bar Scentsy has made between 2018 and now. 😂 I will watch you no matter what you share, I understand FOMO is a real struggle. I have a video coming out similar to yours once I get this darn inventory done. I am at 890 in my inventory and I am only half done so we can support each other. 🥰 We should have a race to 0. 😂

I’ve definitely slowed down my buying, but have been seriously considering stopping my clubs. They definitely can get out of hand. I really enjoy making the videos on them and using the wax for sure. I don’t really do any vendor wax although I was gifted the cutest wax for Christmas. I believe almost all of my stash for spring/ summer will be gone by the end of August. I’d love to keep stocking up on it,but the struggle is definitely real

I don't have nearly the wax you do, but I totally feel you. I don't have more than 4 of anything, but find I'm going through so much more wax since retiring. I learned my lesson stocking up and the bars just get juicy. 4 and no more from now on. I do find I'm more open to the lighter scents now since I'm spending more time in the sewing room, (a spare bedroom). I've also stopped feeling l I must try every new collection. I've skipped a few over the last year, and found it's OK to do that! I don't have enough of a customer base for it to matter. I do get frustrated when something I dig up from a year ago (thinking Midnight Mahogany here) turns out to have cured beautifully and now I love it when I couldn't smell it before. GRRRR!! I don't do vendor wax much - though I want to try Lavender & Speckles at some point. I haven't found them to be any stronger or longer lasting - and that's always the goal. And if it's hard to get out of the dish w/o cotton balls, forget it. The only scent notes I love that Scentsy doesn't do and I'm willing to get from vendor are are tobacco, and vanilla since I can hardly smell Scentsy's - but that could be my nose. Good luck in your new plan!

Hi Edda! Maybe you need to do a 3 out 1 in policy. Downsize your collection but allow yourself to still indulge a bit. I was just looking at my candle collection as fall candles are coming out and trying to decide what if anything I even have room for!

I have a huge stockpile too! We always have to try the new ones, causing me to have so many half used bars too lol. Its never ending, I understand💞

I think I have 400+ bars and I only put them in my clubs if I absolutely love them. Because I want to try everything once and right now I'm melting thru last fall bars. I'm behind in warning wax but I'm ok with it. I'm brand new to wax. Hope you get thru your wax.

A cleaning trick I “invented “😂is to keep the dish on the warmer so the alcohol heats up. The reside is gone so quickly that way!

As your saying sea breeze I’m putting in my warmers .

I struggle too. I have major FOMO. I only budget $40 per month for eating out, but I don’t bat an eye at spending $250 a month on wax. That’s messed up….LOL

I just said today… I gotta stop stockpiling wax 😮😂 It’s like I warm daily 99% of the time and normally change my wax everyday. I have to make myself try ONLY what really interests or intrigues me and decide with those what needs to be clubbed. I need to stop buying just to have more bars!! I know when Fall and Winter comes I’m in trouble 😖

❤

Hi Edda, 🩷truly understand Long Comment Alert… I completely understand what you are saying! i’m trying to figure out how to trim down my club! It is really higher than I would like it to be! For me, I think I get sidetracked warming vendor wax, and I don’t always reach for my scentsy. I have ordered quite a few of the New bars earlier this summer, more like spring. And then I get in the mindset of -they probably need to sit for a little But… I have more vendor wax and I’m also trying to get through. And then… There’s more FOMO with another pre-order or RTS.👀👀 I didn’t even know about Seabreeze and when I started to hear other people talking about it I was like …oh are you serious! It’s sold out it’s not available anymore 😳I was so sad. 🥲 I’ve been hoarding ocean air and coconut water. I have quite a few well quite a few for me is like five lol 🤣 I did most of my ordering much earlier in the summer, mostly spring . Niow I am slowing way down. I absolutely have to because we are having a new grandbaby in December. My Focus has been on helping them , they need Everything for the baby 💙 I hear you on the projects also there’s quite a few things that my husband‘s been talking about doing .It seems to get added to the list!! I struggle big time! 🫣My Club is high because I dont usually go in and place an order!! I get it my club. You are so right when you said there’s always …new new new, and I’ve got to get that instead of focusing on what we have. 😅🫣 I went a little nuts in the spring and through May because I really didn’t have a lot of summer wax. and now, of course, there is the L3 closing, and so many of us are trying to get some of our favorites! It’s always something right?! Thank you, thank you thank you for being so open with your thoughts, it is very helpful to me! sign me up for the support group for sure !! As much as I have wanted to participate in some of the RTS and Pre orders lately ,Im telling myself No! Swanky and Supertarts to name a few. I did do Lavender and Speckles but kept it small. I have to just not even look at Teddy Bees after the pre order ships. I just can’t!😳 I was thinking the other day about a couple of the L3 scents then I just need to get a couple more, but honestly, I need to be done. I have what I have and I need to be OK with it.! We can do this!!!🙌 Anytime you need back up , just text me!!!🩷
