Want To Know A Secret?

"Cleaning your house while your kids are still growing up is like shoveling the walk before it stops snowing."
  - Phyllis Diller

I hate to clean. That's no secret. I've even blogged about it. You can read "I deserve a prize" to see how I really feel about cleaning.

One of the ways I try to make up for lack of cleaning is to make sure the house always smells good. If a house smells good, you might not notice the dishes in the sink or the dust bunnies under the couch - at least that's my theory.

My trick for a clean-smelling house is Scentsy. I'm not telling you about Scentsy because they are paying me. The Scentsy company doesn't even know I'm writing this post. I'm telling you about Scentsy because I always imagine that you are sitting at my patio table, and we are talking about whatever comes to mind. Today, Scentsy came to mind. Scentsy is on my mind because I just got a box from my Scentsy consultant. I knew I could tell you all about it, but I figured I'd show you in pictures instead. Too bad these aren't scratch and sniff!

 I got a box in the mail from Scentsy!! It was like Christmas. I couldn't wait to open it!

Eeekk! I can't wait to see what's under the paper!

The first thing I find is a new plug for my boys' bathroom. I had accidentally broken our first one. Having a pleasant scent in their bathroom is critical!!

The next thing I discovered was three next scent bricks. So exciting! Two were brand new scents and one was my all-time favorite scent.

 Coconut Lemongrass - a new scent that I'm crazy about. I'm using it in the kids' bathroom now.

Yuzu Dragon - a new scent with a weird name and a great smell. It's in my bedroom right now.

 Perfectly Pomegranate - my all time favorite scent from Scentsy. I love using it in my living room.

If you don't have Scentsy in your house, you are cleaning too much :-) Interested in getting your own Scentsy and cutting back on cleaning? You can contact my Scentsy consultant. Tell her I sent you. She isn't compensating me in any way. I just think she's the best Scentsy consultant there is. Her info is at the bottom of this post.

Ok. So now you can have a clean-smelling house and more time to Come Over For Coffee with me :-)

I Deserve A Prize!!

My idea of housework is to sweep the room with a glance.
 - Erma Bombeck

Today I cleaned my bathroom. Yes, I deserve a prize!

I hate to clean. I do it because I must. But it's not fun. I'd so rather be doing anything else!

Don't get me wrong - I love a clean house. I just wish someone else would clean it.

Not my actual MasterBath

But today I tackled the master bathroom. I had let it go far too long, and the soap scum on the shower door was claiming ownership of the bathroom. After all, possession is 9/10ths.

It's a beautiful bathroom. We recently remodeled it, and I love it. But I hate cleaning it. Glass shower doors make it look bigger, but they are a bear to clean. White tile with white grout is lovely, but looks gross when the grout starts to look brown. Don't judge me. We all have our issues.

So now it's clean. And the bathroom is pretty once again. Ugh.

I deserve a prize!!
