You can have too many toys!

I am not a FIRM believer in the fact that YOU CAN HAVE TOO MANY TOYS!  Until recently, I'd never believed this & would buy my son every toy under the son.  Christmas - FULL TREE, packed full of presents!  Birthday - tons of presents...more toys!  Now, he's 5 1/2 and rarely plays with those toys!  Some that he JUST got 8 months ago at Christmas!  It was this past week when I said "why don't you go upstairs and play with Cooper.  He came over to play with you".  Tanner replies "all he's doing is playing with toys".  EXACTLY...that's what toys are for my boy!  Cooper is a little over 3, and lives next door.  He & Tanner like to hang out & play together and are very good buds!

So, I finally started weeding out toys & actually sold some before even getting a chance to list them on Craigslist yesterday!  YOO HOO!  Hoping to get more out of there with the garage sales coming up later this week!

With this realization though, I now wonder WHAT in the world we're going to do for birthday & Christmas gifts!

What's the Scentsy stuff you're always talking about?

With over 80 warmers & over 50 scentsy - not to mention that Scentsy comes out with 1 new warmer and 1 new scenty every month...there's a warmer and a scent for everyone's taste!  Scroll down to the bottom and take a peek!  Or better yet...check out my website!  www.scentsy.com/hyankovich
Q: What is a Scentsy Wickless Candle & why is it safer than a traditional candle?

A: If the idea of lit candles throughout your home makes you nervous, Scentsy’s stylish electric warmers and fragrant wickless candles deliver the same inviting feel – safely!! With Scentsy warmers, there’s no flame, no smoke, and no lead - so no worries! Instead, each beautifully designed ceramic Scentsy Warmer houses a low-watt light bulb that slowly melts a specially formulated wickless Scentsy Bar, releasing delicious, long-lasting fragrances in any of your favorite spaces. Scentsy warmers come in several sizes, from Plug-In Scentsy Warmers that fit small areas like bathrooms and laundry rooms to Full-Size Scentsy Warmers that make a statement in any room - offices, reception areas, dens, kitchens, even dorms. With our broad selection of styles, finishes, and colors, you’ll easily find a Scentsy warmer to fit your décor; and with more than 80 Scentsy fragrances to choose from, there’s no reason to worry about candles anymore!

Q: What is a Scentsy bar?

A: Scentsy uses a custom, food-grade paraffin wax blend selected for its superior scent loading capability, melting point and firmness. The Scentsy wickless candle bars are small blocks of scented wax that come in eight break-apart sections. Because of the wax’s superiors sent load capacity, Scentsy Bars can produce some of the most vibrant fragrances possible. Scentsy Bars in Scentsy warmers melt at 125 degrees Fahrenheit – the temperature of a typical paraffin cosmetic dip so it never gets hot enough to burn you, your children or your pets.

Q: What makes Scentsy different from other candles?

A: The type of wax used allows Scentsy Bars to hold more fragrance oils, resulting in a better fragrance “throw.” The amount of fragrance load for Scentsy wickless candles is 15 - 18% oil compared with 5% for regular “wicked” candles. Additionally, Scentsy Bars are safer than "wicked" candles because no flame is required for the wax to melt or to release the fragrance. Scentsy uses both synthetic and naturally derived fragrances oils to achieve the highest quality and longest lasting wax bar. Scentsy products are made with fragrance oils that do not contain phthalates. Scentsy uses a custom, food-grade paraffin wax blend selected for its superior scent loading capability, melting point and firmness. Vegetable-based waxes do not produce a quality candle bar. There are potential health risks from chemicals released while burning petroleum candles. Scientific research suggests there are health risks with burning any type of candle. Scentsy is the wickless, flameless candle company. Scentsy candle warmers do not burn wax so no chemicals or pollutants are released into the air to contaminate lungs, walls or furniture.

Q: How can I buy Scentsy products?

A: You can visit my website at www.scentsy.com/hyankovich and make an online purchase at any time. There is a “combine and save” category where you can package your products together in order to get the best deal and save money. If you have any questions about the product you can always call me at 913-963-3569 or email me at hyankovich1@gmail.com  

Q: I want to host a party so I can earn FREE Scentsy and share these amazing products with my friends, family and co-workers. Do I have to have a home party and what do I need to do first?

A: The first thing you need to do is contact me via phone at 913-963-3569, email hyankovich1@gmail.com or contact me through my website @ www.scentsy.com/hyankovich Have a few dates and times together that work best for you and the details can be worked out at that time. No you do not have to host a home party, but that is always an option too. I have what is called a “basket party” that contains all 80+ scents (in lip gloss size containers), catalogs, order forms and samples of some of the products that Scentsy has to offer. Once dates/times are agreed upon, I will deliver the basket party to the host and the host can keep the party for about a week to share with friends, family & co-workers. Because the basket party is portable, guests can smell the scents and order at their convenience within the week time frame that the host has the party open. At the end of the week, I will pick up and close the party and the host will redeem the FREE and ½ price items earned. This is the perfect party for those on the go!! You can also host a combined basket/home party. Once the home party date is set, the basket party will be delivered a week prior to the home party so those who cannot make the home party can still smell and pick out their favorite scents and warmers and place their orders. Once the home party is over, both party totals are combined together which makes for a very successful party and lots of FREE and ½ price items are earned.

What do you look like 20 years after high school?

I think we look pretty darn good! Edmond class of 1991, 20 years later...












Beer Margaritas

BEST margarita's you'll ever make at home!  As good as the ones at the restaurant! 

Made up a pitcher of these babies last night to help with my margarita craving!  No, that pitcher wasn't just for me!  Shared with a girlfriend & no, we did not drink this whole thing alone!  Beer Margaritas are so easy & the perfect mix of all the flavors!  Maybe a little strong, so cut back on the tequila a little & you'd still be spot on!

Do you ever wonder what if...

Strange sometimes looking at pictures & thinking of the what if's...

So thankful for where I am in my life now, but what if...
