Scentsy Wickless Candles are the hottest new thing in candles. Because Scentsy is an electric system, there is no flame, no soot and no hazard, therefore safe around children and pets. There are over 80 fragrances available as a low temperature wax for the three sizes of warmers, Scent Circles and Room Sprays. Other products include Fragrance Foam available in five fragrances; Travel Tins, available in 25 fragrances; and Scent Paks available in 15 fragrances. As an Independent Scentsy Consultant, my friend Joan Frenzel would be happy to help you learn more about Scentsy products.

Puzzle
Last month, I asked for
the shortest word in the English language that contains the letters a,b,c,d,e, and f?
Joan Frenzel with Scentsy knew the word was "feedback."
This month, some Thanksgiving trivia. Where did the superstition of the turkey wishbone come from?
The first correct answer will win a $25 gift certificate from Nicavid's Bakery or Starbuck's.
