My Story
Hello, my name's Ashley and I live in Surrey, England. I'm happy you found my page.
This is where you can find out a bit about me - though nothing beats a face to face chat, right?!
I found Scentsy by chance, though I believe it was absolutely synchronicity! At the time I was doing a 60hr working week, whilst still grieving the death of my Dad who passed a few months before from cancer. I was staring burnout right in the eyes & could feel the heat. I couldn't carry on and had to make changes for my own sake. Even though I had never thought of running my own business before, I knew I needed to get off the "hamster wheel" - does that sound familiar to your situation?
What I didn't know when I started my Scentsy journey, was just HOW right it would be for me! At the start it gave my mind a focus & distraction from my grief. As I began to work my business, Dad being gone, was no longer the constant first and last thought of every day. It helped me to find new friends who got WHY I wanted something else in my life, even if their circumstances & reasons were different to mine. For instance, I know lots of consultants, in my team who wanted something for THEM, rather than just being MUM!
It has given me the flexibility to work my own hours and become self-employed, something I never thought I would do and this itself has brought me a boost to my self-confidence as well as gratitude that I can make people's lives better, just through the power of scent and what it can do to help people create warmth & comfort in their home and evoke wonderful memories of good times gone by.
I now teach first aid, which I love as that empowers people too. With that in mind, the safety aspect of Scentsy products is something I love to emphasise for humans and pets. My dog loves to smell the testers and go up to the warmer to see what I'm putting in next & I'm reassured that if it got spilled, he would be ok as it's not JUST about the beautiful fragrance alone!
Greater balance in my life. More time for people that matter. Better health as I have more time to look after ME and things I WANT to do, not just what I NEED to do! Who wouldn't want those things?
The chance to learn new skills and make new friends is a fantastic bonus too - Scentsy is far more than the products and each time I attend an event or join a training, I am fondly reminded of that. I can honestly say, I've made some lifelong friendships from both other consultants & customers, all of whom I would never have met if I hadn't taken that step to join and I feel so blessed for that.
I'm a typical Thursday's child, itchy for new experiences etc. I have always liked to see what I could be capable of above what I already know I can do. Scentsy has given me many opportunities to find that out. I think it does everyone good to find their niche, what they are good at, right? Sometimes even surprising themselves finding they can do things they didn't know before.
Working towards promotions and incentive trips gives me the challenge I feel helps to keep me motivated towards my personal goals and not sit in my comfort zone growing roots!
I LOVE the products: I love the quality, the flexibility of choice AND the fact it's all so safe too. Knowing that using Scentsy can enhance homes AND bank balances by sharing that enthusiasm with others is an amazing feeling.
If any of what I've said has resonated, struck a chord or given you even the smallest spark of interest, do get in touch and I would be happy to answer any questions about the products, hosting a party or starting your own Scentsy journey.
Ashley xx
