First Tip Video th-cam.com/video/nNP5Bt1sSE4/w-d-xo.htmlsi=yuDjAyfchuWrQY7n Tips on Picking Out a Good Scentsy Warmer th-cam.com/video/rxl2Zq7bdMI/w-d-xo.htmlsi=PjF9xJblDj80Wglk
Great advice! One hack I use in my open concept is to turn on only half the warmers to start. Then, an hour or two later, turn on the remaining warmers. I find this extends the number of hours I get from a scent.
@@TerriG_104 Every space is different. As background, my open area has a vaulted ceiling which reaches two stories high. It's a challenge. If a scent is strong, six cubes divided among my warmers will scent the area. For medium to medium strong scents I divide a whole clam among my warmers. Any scent lighter than medium strength just won't work in my open space.
“Warm it when you love it” that’s the best piece of advice! I’m going to do that from now on. I really enjoy your videos, they’re informative and fun and you have a real gift for clear and precise communication. Thank you Patricia. 😊
Not stockpiling/use what you love is such a great piece of advice!! Your videos are so informative and wonderful! Thank you for being such an awesome part of our community, Patricia! I enjoy your videos so much!!
Oh my goodness Patricia. I really needed to watch this. We're towards the end of the Spring Summer Catalogue and I was going to order so many to 'store' or add to my club. When I heard your comment about buying as much as you use,I checked my stash and I have approx 200+ spring / summer bars and there's no way ill melt them before next Spring Summer. So my next scentsy order is now going to be winter time! Also I'm wheelchair bound so unable to wash my scentsy dishes as often as id like. I always have hand sanitizer next to me in my bag, so ill be trying your tip to clean my dish using my hand sanitizer more often. Thank you so much for so many helpful tips.x
Great tips! I've not shared this with you before, but you are such a perfectionist and an organized perfectionist at that!! 😊 Please know that is meant as a compliment!
I use hand sanitizer to clean the “gunk” out after I saw the tip in one of your videos. I try to be very careful about the number of bars I purchase. I enjoy the flash sales, so I have ended up with more than usual with the bundles. I have two small bins that I keep in a cabinet with my bars. I have extras now, but I don’t like to have much more than what fits in the bins.I also warm the scents I don’t care for in my garage…I have had three “throw aways”, but garage works pretty well, and I don’t have to do it often. Thanks for the tips!
Oh wow! I never thought of warming wax that you didn't care for in the garage! What a great idea. I have two bars I don't like and I will warm them there. Thx for the tip!
Great advice. After buying way more than I could warm I’m taking tip number two to heart and having to bring in less to slowly get my stash to a more reasonable amount.
Good tips I wish I had when I started buying wax! Your 2nd tip that wax buying should equal wax melting is something I learned to do over the years with candles and wax melts too. It is very easy to have an overwhelmingly large wax collection before you know it. The only way to really avoid this is to not buy more than you can melt to stay at an even amount and to shrink your stash buy less than you melt per month. Also, I know that fall and winter for me is my favorite for home fragrance and I know I will buy the most bars, wax melts, and candles then. So from early December through February I will buy practically nothing (except some BBMB’s in January) to use up what I bought and balance it out…a very low buy for a couple months.🍁
I’ve been working hard to shrink my stash. Moving to a smaller space has slowed that down but I’m happy to say I’m about 25% down in the past year from my high point.
Patricia, what an awesome video. Thank you so much! I’m a new consultant and I am definitely going to use your tips. Especially the one that is as simple as know how much you melt each month. That will definitely help me in my purchasing. I love fragrance in general ,wax, candles and perfumes. So I am definitely picky when I’m purchasing my fragrances because I love so much and can only melt, burn, and spray so much. 😀♥️
Such great tips love your videos!! I love your tip about buy what you can warm in a month as i had such a stash and have gotten so much better and ordering what i use. Also I tried the sanitizer in my dishes to clean then and they clean so well and easy! Another thing i do with wax that is light scent is mix it with something that is a bit stronger and it gives it a change in scent
Don't be afraid to experiment and mix your own blends. I mix my wax cubes together all the time and this gives new life to scents I've gone nose blind to and has helped me use wax that I liked in the tester but not when I warmed it. Sunkissed Citrus and Sugared Strawberry have saved quite a few bars from being given away or tossed.
(Jane) I love this type of video. Thanks! I prefer to use the cool down method but if I have turned my warmers off and I want to change the wax I will turn them on and in 3-5 minutes the wax is soft enough to scoop out. My other tip for best throw and longevity is to pair a bulb warmer with an element warmer.
The warm up method I usually end up with a bunch of melted wax below my disk. I tend to get distracted even if I set a timer (which is embarrassing to admit)
Thanks Patricia! Always check the clearance - I often forget that one! I always use your tip for using hand sanitizer to clean warmer dishes - works really well.
Your videos are always so valuable. So true about scent preferences changes. Warm it when you love it! I agree. I try to have 3 months to 1 year worth of wax on hand. I just shared my wax spreadsheet on my channel. Spoiler Alert: Right now I have about 7 months worth. 😂 LTOs are so often so good 🙌. I wish they came back more often. I am so happy about all the harvest bars from last year that made it to catalog this year. And yes!!! On party links. I’ve only been a consultant for 1 year but a costumer for 17 I think. Shopping links are a must. ❤ I have a testing zone because of you! Best decision ever. It really changed my game. Keep talking about it. 🎉 I pinch my wax up too 🙌🎉
At first I wasn’t sure what you meant by pinch up wax! Then I clued it it’s the term you use to remove the wax as it’s cooling down. I call it the “cooldown method” which is not very original.
@@PatriciaG-NosetoToes 🤣 I can be very confusing. I had a whole conversation with my friend in which I kept saying I just pinch it up. She had no clue what I meant. So when I was next over - I just had to show her. Cool down method is definitely more clear. 🤣 You’re not alone in finding me confusing.
Wonderful tips Patricia! I like the slightly warm up/ cool down wax removal method. I’ve been using alcohol wipes which I have in abundance (from that terrible year) and they work so well to clean the dishes. I need to work on over buying and also buying too much of one scent. I do that for sure! 🫣
What a fantastic video! Thank you for all the tips. I have a substantial quarterly club and I'm trying to pare it down to be closer to what I'm actually using. I'm a spreadsheet nerd and have my entire collection logged and that includes a sheet for what I'm using. I refigure my averages monthly lol 🙃 Great tip about keeping the shopping list. I'm bad about that, especially with light bulbs. I'm a sale shopper so I always shop the clearance section first. I'll even sometimes chance a more expensive warmer and wait for it to show up in clearance. I recently picked up the Frosted Night mini from clearance and then the full size showed up in a flash sale. I try to be as frugal as possible with my addiction lol! Thanks again!
Great tips thanks Patricia. The trying to match the amount you buy to what you use, is one I need to take note of. There’s a serious wax stockpile in this house!
What a great video! I agree with your tips! A tip for storage is I use empty whiff boxes and separate by season I melt them in. I have a box for all season favorites ans also a box for my bathroom and bedroom scents that are not seasonal. The boxes are "free" and give me a confined space that I attempt to not have more than. I use rubbing alcohol to clean my warmers, but I might need to give hand sanitizer a try on a few of my warmers. A few times the rubbing alcohol dripped and took a little of the finish off the warmer.😢 I also need to equalize my purchases to my melting! It's a hard life of a Scentsy fan! Smiles, Abby Smith
Gel Hand sanitizer is easier to control. Works like rubbing alcohol though Whiff boxes are excellent for storage or mailing things. I use them when wrapping Christmas Gifts too
Couldn't agree more about melt it when you love it because yes our noses and preferences can change. Also yes don't buy a thousand bars of something you have never smelled - guess how many bars I bought of perfect pumpkin pear in a flash sale several years ago? Guess how many I still have left? lol I think I've only had a couple scentsy bars go off on me. Sunburst Bamboo and Summer Rain. I keep my inventory spreadsheet as up to date as I can with dates on there too from when I purchased them. I also use masking tape and sharpie to write down month/year on there too. The thing I love about scentsy wax is how easy it easy to change out scentsy wax. I also do a similar wax change like you - maybe turn on the warmer for about 1-2 minutes and the wax just pops right out. Vendor wax or other mass branded wax is not the easiest to remove unless its hot pour. But Scentsy's wax formula is perfect for easy clean up imo.
I could probably put out a tip video 3-4x a year! So much info we can touch on. Speaking of - Great tip about not buying in abundance until you KNOW you like a scent. (Sorry about that tough lesson learned)
I use timer plugs in my more hard to reach warmers this helps me prevent spills from having to turn them on and off. It also helps with getting the best scent and longevity from my wax. In larger spaces it helps with throw as well because it stages the fragrance at whatever time its set for. So you can set the timers to go off throughout the day.
Enjoyed this so much/ This type of informative video is why I originally chose you as a consultant. Not only are you a wax addict, you are an intelligent one! I never buy more wax then I can use in about 6-12 months, which is good for me as my scent preferences seem to always be changing. I did make an error in judgement just recently and purchased a 40 watt warmer, but it sure looks pretty. I have never had one and I closed out a shopping link and just had to try one but I might just pop a 25 w into and see how that does. Thanks for sharing. Enjoy some well deserved rest!
**For nose blindness along with leaving the house a lot, I find if I have 2 or 3 different scents going in different spaces that helps me smell them all a bit better. The days I have warmed just one scent though out I lose the smell after a couple of hours. I use the freezer method for vendor again, your tip. It works perfect, so every time I purchase a new warmer I always buy an extra dish for it.
Yes - excellent point about the different scents in different rooms. I do that as well. It does help preventing nose blindness issues to be able to smell and differentiate scents. Plus I like the variety. I can honestly say I’ve never warmed just one scent everywhere.
No you can’t. I prefer to use my club just for retired items. 99% of the other times I purchase using my link rather than use the club As a customer club member you do earn points on purchases (but consultants don’t)
I always learn something new! So thank you for this video. I am nose blind to summer scents right now. I warmed fall one and there it was! The smell was there lol my club…. I keep swapping out and putting in new loves but now that is growing. 😅
Love this video Patricia! Btw, when I saw Snuggle Up in the bbmb voting choices I had to do a double take. I thought it would never show up and I immediately thought about your bbmb email to home office. Perhaps someone did indeed listen.
I did notice that. Plus Woolly Slippers was also there, which I also have clubbed. Maybe they are slowly filtering some LTOs in. I think it would be fun to have 200 LTOs to vote from (just one time… for kicks!)
Wise council and great information! 😊 Some of the scents I wanted to stockpile to have it to warm later have gone off from their original scent (3 bars of Sugar I purchased in a closeout sale are now rancid smelling! 😢👎🏻) ❤ Our new house has some very challenging open concept areas! This is our first Fall & Winter here so those strong scents coming up should work better! 🎃 🦃 🎄
Thank you Patricia! I appreciate that you put all these tips in one video. It will be easy to refer back to. 🙂 I wonder if the old trick of smelling coffee beans in between perfume samples would help cure nose blindness. I seem to remember doing that at the first Scentsy party I attended as well. Thoughts?
I empty my warmers by pouring my wax into a syrofoam cup and then come back and pour the contents into a clear product container. I let it cool and harden and add to it till it's fuill - the lines of colors are so pretty. Once it's full I pop it out and dispose of it. The styrofoam cup sits inside of it to and both are used over and over again. I put them in a cupboard out of sight till I'm ready to empty my warmers again.
For my “hot dumping” I use an empty vendor loaf tin. I agree about the pretty rainbow layers. I also just push the whole wax blob out when it’s full and start again.
Excellent tips❤ I would appreciate tips for cutting/prepping scentsy wax..I have about 12+ warmers at most times so wax handling can take a bit ❤❤ Ssshhhh, it might be more than 12++ 😂😂🎉🎉❤
I tend to do 2 cubes for a full size warmer and 1 cube for mini warmers. Sometimes I’ll do 1 cube per full size and just change it out faster (if it wears out sooner.)
It was a LTO. (It was never in a catalog) I suspect it may return eventyally but it all depends if they put it up for BBMB voting, which is not likely according to their past pattern. We might see it in a Scents of the Season collection in a couple years…that’s the spot they tend to recycle past holiday inspired fragrances
If it returns then you might have to decide on a club or just stock up. It might be a while; you just never know with Scentsy. The only bonus of waiting for it to return is you have extra time to deplete your wax stash
I don’t understand why scentsy says to use the bars up in a year when the bars I sometimes get in my club are older than that 😑 I do go nose blind threwout the day because I am home all the time that I sometimes have to just have less warmers on and have some scent free zones so when I do walk into a room with scent going I can smell it
It’s in the FAQ it’s recommended to use within one year but we all know they last a long time. (99% of them do) I think after 3 years (max) bars should be clearanced out at a substantially reduced price.
@@PatriciaG-NosetoToes that’s one thing I didn’t like with club is that I am paying full price for old bars (sometimes depending on the bar). In clearance at least we are getting a discount
Yes!! I had a club process at the end of July and threw a bunch of BBMB in there instead of placing a separate order. So the end of the promotion month. Why did I get a flat bottom BBMB bar?!?!? That frustrates me so much!
@@stacifuller4794 me too! I just got a flat bottom of cashmere pear in my last months order. I wasn’t even around with scentsy when that was a flat bottom
I have most of my warmers on smart plugs I can turn on and off with my phone. To change my wax I turn on a warmer for approximately 8 minutes and then pop out wax with my finger or the corner of a clam shell. I clean my dishes by turning on for a couple minutes to slightly warm up then use rubbing alcohol and a paper towel or cotton ball. Another tip I picked up from you is to warm not so appealing scents in the garage. Thanks for this very informative video!
Yeah Ive seen all the teddy bees hauls and I’m like ladies…..that’s ridiculous. Like I get liking wax, but that’s more than you could use in a year! Go on vacation with that money.🙄
Teddy Bees business model has got it going on with respect to the amount people order. Whatever she’s doing all the other vendors must be thinking “I’ve got to get a piece of THAT!”
I use hand sanitizer to clean the “gunk” out after I saw the tip in one of your videos. I try to be very careful about the number of bars I purchase. I enjoy the flash sales, so I have ended up with more than usual with the bundles. I have two small bins that I keep in a cabinet with my bars.

Tips on Picking Out a Good Scentsy Warmer th-cam.com/video/rxl2Zq7bdMI/w-d-xo.htmlsi=PjF9xJblDj80Wglk
Great advice! One hack I use in my open concept is to turn on only half the warmers to start. Then, an hour or two later, turn on the remaining warmers. I find this extends the number of hours I get from a scent.
Yes! I call this “staggered start”! Such a great reminder
Thank you Karen!
How many cubes do you put in each one? Do you end up using an entire clam?
@@TerriG_104 Every space is different. As background, my open area has a vaulted ceiling which reaches two stories high. It's a challenge. If a scent is strong, six cubes divided among my warmers will scent the area. For medium to medium strong scents I divide a whole clam among my warmers. Any scent lighter than medium strength just won't work in my open space.
@@KarenDStarke great idea!!
Karen - your area sounds like my old house.
“Warm it when you love it” that’s the best piece of advice! I’m going to do that from now on. I really enjoy your videos, they’re informative and fun and you have a real gift for clear and precise communication. Thank you Patricia. 😊
Thank you! Although I had to chop this video up due to stumbles and interruptions - I’ll take it!
Yes! A few scents I loved last year smell different to me this year and I'm thinking, is this the same bar?! 😂
@@Sara_WIand then later the nose can revert back!

I hope the hand sanitizer works out for you. I do it often so there’s never much to clean off
Melt it when you love it. Wow, that is such good advice and I needed to remind myself of that! Great video, Patricia! Thanks for sharing! 💜
It’s something Ive been telling myself as I melt through bars I’ve hoarded
Great tips! I've not shared this with you before, but you are such a perfectionist and an organized perfectionist at that!! 😊 Please know that is meant as a compliment!
Thanks Mary- I try but honestly if you could see the video process you might reconsider 🤣
😅
I find the darker blue wax that gets sweatier smell so much better. I don’t mind a bar that sweats. I’m liking the tips & tricks.
The wax tend to throw that’s for sure

Some of the lessons Ive learned make me sad in a way.
@@PatriciaG-NosetoToes I know what you mean. I had a whole big tub of Ocean washer whiffs go bad because I just hanged on to it for too long.
Guilty of stockpiling but learning to do better! Thank you for these tips!
Spoken like a true wax addict
Love this type of content thank you.
I’ve started a part 2 list already
Great advice. After buying way more than I could warm I’m taking tip number two to heart and having to bring in less to slowly get my stash to a more reasonable amount.

Another thing i do with wax that is light scent is mix it with something that is a bit stronger and it gives it a change in scent

Will you be clubbing Sunkissed Citrus?
@@PatriciaG-NosetoToes Absolutely! Sunkissed Citrus is highly underrated IMHO! Sugared Strawberry is clubbed, too, because I don't trust Scentsy 😂

Yes, a great way to use up hand sanitizer that smells horrible
I use black raspberry vanilla to remove the gunk in my warmers. I will have to try the hand sanitizer

Love this video Patricia! Btw, when I saw Snuggle Up in the bbmb voting choices I had to do a double take. I thought it would never show up and I immediately thought about your bbmb email to home office. Perhaps someone did indeed listen.
I did notice that. Plus Woolly Slippers was also there, which I also have clubbed. Maybe they are slowly filtering some LTOs in. I think it would be fun to have 200 LTOs to vote from (just one time… for kicks!)
Please do a warmer dish cleaning vid 👍🏼
I did a short yesterday

Great Video 💜
Thanks Nat
Enjoyed the video, thanks
Glad you enjoyed it, and thanks for watching 😊
Wise council and great information! 😊 Some of the scents I wanted to stockpile to have it to warm later have gone off from their original scent (3 bars of Sugar I purchased in a closeout sale are now rancid smelling! 😢👎🏻) ❤ Our new house has some very challenging open concept areas! This is our first Fall & Winter here so those strong scents coming up should work better! 🎃 🦃 🎄
Yes - sadly I’ve had the odd scent turn on me but thankfully it’s rare. Another lesson I’ve learned from my overbuying stage.
Thank you Patricia! I appreciate that you put all these tips in one video. It will be easy to refer back to. 🙂
I wonder if the old trick of smelling coffee beans in between perfume samples would help cure nose blindness. I seem to remember doing that at the first Scentsy party I attended as well. Thoughts?
It might! I don’t drink coffee so I’d need to buy some beans
@@PatriciaG-NosetoToes I'm in the same boat 😁
@@pinkwerebunnyplus I’ve already started another list of tips as they come to me!
Great tips!!! I have hated scents in certain rooms only to find out I love them in others. 😂
So true! It’s very bizarre
I empty my warmers by pouring my wax into a syrofoam cup and then come back and pour the contents into a clear product container. I let it cool and harden and add to it till it's fuill - the lines of colors are so pretty. Once it's full I pop it out and dispose of it. The styrofoam cup sits inside of it to and both are used over and over again. I put them in a cupboard out of sight till I'm ready to empty my warmers again.
For my “hot dumping” I use an empty vendor loaf tin. I agree about the pretty rainbow layers. I also just push the whole wax blob out when it’s full and start again.
I pretty much do Cinnamon, Pumpkin, Vanilla, and any that is more I guess Fall and Christmas, all year!! 😂😂
Melt what you love when you love it
Excellent tips❤
I would appreciate tips for cutting/prepping scentsy wax..I have about 12+ warmers at most times so wax handling can take a bit ❤❤
Ssshhhh, it might be more than 12++ 😂😂🎉🎉❤
Do you mean the bricks?
If so I’ll include a chopping video th-cam.com/video/D-4IMkqhSuI/w-d-xo.htmlsi=7-14S-jCzLfk5new
Thank you ❤@@PatriciaG-NosetoToes
How many cubes per warmer do you recommend ?
I tend to do 2 cubes for a full size warmer and 1 cube for mini warmers.
Sometimes I’ll do 1 cube per full size and just change it out faster (if it wears out sooner.)

Is maraschino sugar cookie an LTO? Is it ever coming back?😊
It was a LTO. (It was never in a catalog)
I suspect it may return eventyally but it all depends if they put it up for BBMB voting, which is not likely according to their past pattern.
We might see it in a Scents of the Season collection in a couple years…that’s the spot they tend to recycle past holiday inspired fragrances
@PatriciaG-NosetoToes Given how much wax I already have, it's difficult to commit to a club. I guess I'll have to wait for it to return. 😊 thanks
If it returns then you might have to decide on a club or just stock up. It might be a while; you just never know with Scentsy. The only bonus of waiting for it to return is you have extra time to deplete your wax stash
I don’t understand why scentsy says to use the bars up in a year when the bars I sometimes get in my club are older than that 😑
I do go nose blind threwout the day because I am home all the time that I sometimes have to just have less warmers on and have some scent free zones so when I do walk into a room with scent going I can smell it
It’s in the FAQ it’s recommended to use within one year but we all know they last a long time. (99% of them do)
I think after 3 years (max) bars should be clearanced out at a substantially reduced price.
@@PatriciaG-NosetoToes that’s one thing I didn’t like with club is that I am paying full price for old bars (sometimes depending on the bar). In clearance at least we are getting a discount
Yes!! I had a club process at the end of July and threw a bunch of BBMB in there instead of placing a separate order. So the end of the promotion month. Why did I get a flat bottom BBMB bar?!?!? That frustrates me so much!
@@stacifuller4794 me too! I just got a flat bottom of cashmere pear in my last months order. I wasn’t even around with scentsy when that was a flat bottom
I think maybe they find old stock tucked behind new?
I have most of my warmers on smart plugs I can turn on and off with my phone. To change my wax I turn on a warmer for approximately 8 minutes and then pop out wax with my finger or the corner of a clam shell. I clean my dishes by turning on for a couple minutes to slightly warm up then use rubbing alcohol and a paper towel or cotton ball. Another tip I picked up from you is to warm not so appealing scents in the garage. Thanks for this very informative video!
I no longer have a garage …so there’s my dilemma!!
Yeah Ive seen all the teddy bees hauls and I’m like ladies…..that’s ridiculous. Like I get liking wax, but that’s more than you could use in a year! Go on vacation with that money.🙄
Teddy Bees business model has got it going on with respect to the amount people order. Whatever she’s doing all the other vendors must be thinking “I’ve got to get a piece of THAT!”
@@PatriciaG-NosetoToes sadly they exploit fomo with their pre orders
I have to really pay attention to my monthly average of how much I’m warming and not go over that amount of purchase
I do videos so it’s easy for me to reference. I’m sure if you’re storage isnt busting at the seams you’re probably doing ok
@@PatriciaG-NosetoToes ohhhhh I keep adding more storage 😳🤦🏻♀️
🤣🤣
I use hand sanitizer to clean the “gunk” out after I saw the tip in one of your videos. I try to be very careful about the number of bars I purchase. I enjoy the flash sales, so I have ended up with more than usual with the bundles. I have two small bins that I keep in a cabinet with my bars. I have extras now, but I don’t like to have much more than what fits in the bins.I also warm the scents I don’t care for in my garage…I have had three “throw aways”, but garage works pretty well, and I don’t have to do it often. Thanks for the tips!
I no longer have my garage so I have to be strategic now with respect to dislikes
Thank you for the video!! Very helpful!!
