Mothers Day – Violight Zapi Giveaway

May 7, 2010 by Jessi  
Filed under Giveaways Ended, Mothers Day

I hate germs, I have issues with kids putting toys in their mouths and then my kids touching them or kids having their fingers/hands in their mouth then touching the toys my kids play with, in the same sense I hate when my kids do that and am very careful to pay attention to what goes in their mouth especially when they are not fully vaccinated.  What I never really considered before was how many germs were in our own home, in our bathroom, in our space where we brush our teeth.

While I was at the Housewares show I had the great pleasure of talking with the people behind Violight and I learned quite a bit of information from them about the germs that we live with and the ways we can prevent them.  They have a razor sanitizer, toothbrush sanitizers for 1, 2 or 4 toothbrushes, a UV Wand to sanitize toys etc. (which I totally need and am hoping to work with them again perhaps at some point on this one).  I also got to see a great new product coming this fall and while I am not going to tell you what it is I am going to encourage you to keep watching Violight because I know this one is going to be a big hit.

We received the Vio100 Countertop Toothbrush Sanitizer and the Vio800 Zapi Toothbrush Sanitizer in orange.

I love the Vio100 Countertop toothbrush Sanitizer it fits all of the variety of toothbrushes we have in our house, Lee and I use normal ones, the kids use electric ones and of course Maddisyn and Holden have their tiny baby ones.  When selecting I was concerned that they would not all fit into the holder but I was very very happy to find out that it would work for us all and best of all I know that the kids and us have clean toothbrushes that are not putting germs into our mouths.    Independent tests prove that Violight gets rid of up to 99.9% of bacteria living on your toothbrush. VIOlight uses germicidal UV light bulb power, for effective cleaning. You simply brush, rinse, and place your toothbrush in the cup-sized holder and, with the push of a button, the sanitizer starts to kill those unwanted germs.  Maintenance Free and Affordable The Violight germicidal UV bulb is rated to last over 2000 hours, and only needs replacing every one or two years, depending on use. It comes with a removable drip tray for easy cleaning.

Violight prevents cross contamination of bacteria from one toothbrush to another, and even accommodates electric toothbrush heads. Its translucent cap lets you know it’s working, and it includes a removable drip cup for easy cleaning.
With a one-touch start button, auto shut-off, and safety cap that de-activates the light if it’s unlocked or removed, this Sanitizer is a must-have for those who are health-conscious.  Dimensions: 6″ high x 3.25″ diameter  The Vio100 plugs in so I do not have to worry about batteries and what I really like is that it is small enough we can take it out to camp with us and make sure they are clean even out there with all the bugs and yucks.

The boys fight over who gets to use our cute little Zapi, this one runs on 3 AAA batteries so is portable and believe it or not I am so anal now we actually took turns using this before brushing out teeth one night when the power was out here at our house.  This one has a lifetime bulb so no worries about me having to replace the batteries to ensure it continues to work properly.

~WIN IT~
Violight is going to send one Jabbering Jessi reader a Zapi in the color of your choice.

Mothers Day – Jawbone Icon Bluetooth Headset Giveaway

May 7, 2010 by Jessi  
Filed under Giveaways Ended, Mothers Day

As most of you know I have tried a few different Bluetooth handsfree devices and i’ve liked most of them but I absolutley LOVE the Jawbone Icon.

With 6 different styles and colours to choose from I can have one to match whatever I’m wearing or doing at the time. This Line up of fabulous earpieces are designed for women, most of them lok like they could be everyday jewelry, but make no mistake they are absolutley jam packed with features.  I have The Catch and I absolutely love it, it is white and pearly and simply looks amazing I cannot believe it, it looks textured and yet is perfectly smooth.

Some of the features of the Icon series include:
- Battery Meter for iPhone – Jawbone ICON’s remaining battery life is displayed on your iPhone’s status bar
- Jawbone Talks to You – Custom ICON audio tones whisper important information like remaining battery life and caller    ID into your ear.
- MyTALK – Introducing our most significant innovation since NoiseAssassin®. You can now dynamically update and   personalize each individual Jawbone ICON with an array of convenient apps
- Connect to Multiple Phones
-  ICON uses standard micro-USB charging technology
- Easy-to-operate On/Off slide switch – The Most Lethal NoiseAssassin
- Wind Reduction Technology
- ICON allows you to set your volume on one call and Jawbone ICON will remember the volume level until you change it   again!

And if thats not enough, another cool feature for iPhone users is you can use it to start songs, skip songs or Stop songs just by simply telling it what to do.

As mentioned above MyTalk is a new feature for the ICON its a series off applications (apps) that allow for added functionality of your headset.

With AudioApps™ from MyTALK, you can change the voice that conveys important information like battery life and Caller ID.
MyTALK DialApps™ let you customize an easy access button that links your Jawbone ICON directly to 411, voice-to-SMS and voice dial services. Some apps even let you use voice to listen and post to Facebook/Twitter.
Once you select and sync a DialApp, all you have to do is press your Jawbone ICON’s TALK Button for 2 seconds to activate. DialApps save you time and give you true handsfree freedom…leave the phone in your pocket and make your calls with the touch of a button.

With MyTalk, you can effortlessly make Jawbone ICON work the way you want it to. Turn on/off the voice tones that whisper your remaining battery life and caller ID, change the friendly name of your Jawbone, or remove phones previously paired with your Jawbone ICON.

Try new apps and updates-like A2DP, which let’s you listen to music, podcasts, turn-by-turn direction and other audio through your Jawbone® ICON™

Measuring 45mm Long, 18.25mm wide and 24mm in height and only weighing 8.2 grams the ICON is also very light weight and comfortable, I can hardly even tell it’s there which i find to be an issue with some others I’ve tried. It also includes 3 Fit earbuds, 4 Round earbuds and optional earloop for added comfort options. And for those that like to talk it has a decent battery life of up to 4.5 hour talk time and up to 10 day standby time, when you press the command button on the end of the headset once it tells you how long your battery is going to last for.

So all in all I think the ICON is a perfect for for me, now I just need to get a few more styles and i’m set. Best of all because they are girly I don’t have to worry about Lee stealing it on me.

~WIN IT~
Jawbone is going to give one of my lucky readers a the Jawbone Icon headset pictured above.

~TO ENTER~
Go to Jawbone and tell me another headset you like and why.

Mothers Day – Ceiva Digital Photo Frame Giveaway

May 7, 2010 by Jessi  
Filed under Giveaways Ended, Mothers Day

I have had digital picture frames for a while now, Lee bought me one last year for christmas and I am ashamed to say that it has the same pictures on it as when I received it and absolutely none of Holden.  It just seems like too much effort for me to get the memory card, go through and choose pictures, load them onto the memory card then put it back into the picture frame.  I guess I am just lazy when it comes to that but I have so many other things on my plate that the small things never seem to get done.

Ceiva has recognized this need in people, that is the only thing that I can figure because they are genius’s because they have come up with a photo frame that I can send my pictures right across the internet to the digital frame via WiFi.  The setup was super easy we simply took the picture frames out of the box, inserted the wifi stick and then I went online and registered the picture frame and started to send the pictures across the network.  I was really amazed at how simply the setup was I thought it was going to take more time and effort to do and that I would have to get Lee to do it since he was after all our resident internet expert amongst other things.  I have already sent a ton of pictures to my frame and love looking over and seeing all the pictures of my kids rotating on the screen.

CEIVA Pro 80™ – Designed for photo enthusiasts who want more ways to access their entire photo collection, the CEIVA Pro 80 offers built-in Media Server connectivity to let you stream photos instantly from your computer over your home network. You can also connect at the speed of Wi-Fi (included) or optional broadband for fast access to new slideshows sent directly from friends and family located anywhere across the world. Also featuring a high-res 8″ display, memory card reader, Wi-Fi adapter, intuitive on-screen menus and interchangeable faceplates to suit any home or office setting, the CEIVA Pro 80 is far different from any ordinary digital photo frame.

Features Include

  • Phone and Wi-Fi connectivity
  • Media Server connectivity (learn more)
  • Built-in memory card reader
  • Interchangeable black and wood-finish faceplates (included) or custom skin designs (optional via skinit.com)
  • Easy-to-use on screen menu to control display modes, rotation and deletion, slideshow transition and timing, screen on and off times and more.
  • Perfect True-to-Photo™ display (no stretching, cropping or squishing)
  • PicturePlan photo delivery service required — 1 year included
    • Invite friends and family to send photos to your frame from anywhere in the world — for free.
    • Unlimited photo storage and customization, channel selections (news, weather, calendar, sports & more) and greeting cards.
    • PicturePlan Lifetime Warranty (if it breaks, we fix it for free*)

* Customer pays return postage

The CEIVA Pro 80™ Starter Pack includes:

• 1 CEIVAshare Digital Photo Frame™
• 1 Year PicturePlan® Photo Delivery Service
FREE GIFT! CEIVA Dazzle Crystal Kit ($19.95 value)

In the Box:
1 CEIVA Pro 80 Digital Photo Frame
1 AC Power Supply
1 Dual Jack Adapter
1 QuickStart Guide
1 QuickTips
1 Media Server Instruction Book
1 CEIVA Wireless Adapter
2 Interchangeable Frame Finishes in Black and Wood

We also received the Ceiva Share photo frame which we promptly shared with one of our family members so we are able to send pictures across to their frame as well so they can get our new photos on schedule or instantly however they set it up.

The Ceiva Share Photo Frame is on sale now for $127.99 and the Ceiva Pro digital frame is on sale for $147.99.  The one and only thing that I do not like about the Ceiva Digital picture frames is that if I want to add more pictures after our years time is up I have to purchase the 1 year photoshare plan for $99.95 again and while I will likely continue on this I know that for some people that is a lot of money to spend to upload pictures to a picture frame.

~WIN IT~
Ceiva is going to give one of my lucky readers a Digital Picture Frame of their own.

~TO ENTER~
Go to Ceiva and tell me which picture frame you like best and why.

Mothers Day – Body Shop Giveaway

May 6, 2010 by Jessi  
Filed under Giveaways Ended, Mothers Day


I have a deep love for The Body Shop and a super sadness since the only one close to me is four hours away.  We used to have one in my local mall but it left and it left me feeling sad with chapped hands and none of my favorite perfumes.  Then I got the chance to work with them during my mothers day event because what mother doesn’t need some stuff to pamper herself.

The Body Shop sent me a wide assortment of stuff from their new Spa Wisdom line including Spa Wisdom™ Polynesia Monoi Moisture Balm (arv 24.00),  Spa Wisdom™ Africa Ximenia & Salt Scrub (arv 28.00), Spa Wisdom™ Morocco Black Olive & Argan Oil Scrub (arv 28), Spa Wisdom™ Japan Adzuki Bean & Rice Shower Gel (arv 18.00), Spa Wisdom™ Polynesia Lotus & Frangipani Body Puree (arv 20.00), Spa Wisdom™ Morocco Argan & Orange Blossom Bath & Shower Oil (arv 18.00).  I talked with the great people from The Body Shop and we agreed that out of the entire collection I received I would choose two to review and we would give the rest away to one of my lucky readers.  Well choosing which two that I reviewed was harder then I thought, all I knew was that I would have to choose two from two different countries (if you notice each one has a country in the name).  I finally settled on the bath and shower gel from Morocco and the body puree from Polynesia.

The bath and shower gel is amazing.  I simply added some to my running bath and swirled it around, then I got in and I loved it, I did not come out feeling oily instead I came out feeling soft and smooth and moisturized but best of all I came out feeling clean.

Best if you want to: Wash your cares aways with a versatile oil that can be used as a cleanser in the shower or added to the bath to leave skin feeling cleansed, soft and subtly scented with a sensual, luxurious fragrance. With argan oil from Morocco to care for the skin.

Best for: all skin types

How it works:

  • Community Trade organic olive oil from Italy helps to condition the skin.
  • Community Trade organically grown soya oil from Brazil helps to restore moisture and suppleness to the skin, and Community Trade brazil nut oil from Peru moisturizes and softens the skin.
  • Argan oil, from the Argan tree native to Morocco, is rich in essential fatty acids that help protect the skin.
  • Sweet orange blossom extract is known to soothe delicate skin.
  • Rose hip oil Moisturizes the skin and helps to restore suppleness.

I am not one for using moisturizers on my skin, generally they leave me feeling oily, sticky and worst of all I usually break out in a nasty red rash on my hands because of my sensitive skin so I was hesitant to try this out but it was for the good of this review so I went ahead and tested the body puree.  I am happy to report the I did not get a rash which was a big relief (this is my personal experience you cannot hold it against me if you react to this).  I also liked how soft this left me feeling and it is only lightly scented so I did not feel like everyone had to smell me but I could share my scent with my friends if I wanted them to smell me haha.

Best if you want to: Cool and hydrate your skin with a lighty, creamy, moisturizing body gel that will leave you feeling refreshed, silky-smooth and delicately scented with the fragrance of roses.

How it works:

  • Community Trade organic cold pressed coconut oil from Samoa moisturizes and softens.
  • Community Trade honey from an organic source moisturizes the skin.
  • Rosehip oil helps to moisturize and condition skin.
  • Frangipani and lotus extracts are reputed to have calming properties.

~WIN IT~
One lucky reader is going to get the above pictured products from The Body Shop valued at $98.00.  Spa Wisdom™ Polynesia Monoi Moisture Balm (arv 24.00),  Spa Wisdom™ Africa Ximenia & Salt Scrub (arv 28.00), Spa Wisdom™ Morocco Black Olive & Argan Oil Scrub (arv 28), Spa Wisdom™ Japan Adzuki Bean & Rice Shower Gel (arv 18.00)

Go to The Body Shop and tell me something else you use/would use from them.

Mothers Day – Hoover Floormate Vlog Giveaway ENDED

May 6, 2010 by Jessi  
Filed under Giveaways Ended, Mothers Day


Alrighty so I have only done this once before but since I love to talk I thought I might as well do it this way.  I vlogged all about the Hoover Floormate SpinScrub.  The first video is 6 minutes long and shows you the ins and outs of the Hoover Floormate.  The other two videos are quite a bit shorter and the one will show you how it sucks up dirt the other will show you it sucking up milk, and then washing and drying the floor.  I am so in love with the Floormate and I think that you will be too.

The ins and outs of the Floormate:

Yes it really does suck:

No more need to cry over spilled milk, yogurt or any of the like:

We know that you love hard floors as much as carpet, so we made a tool that lets you kick the bucket, put away the broom and say goodbye to hands-and-knees scrubbing. The new Hoover® FloorMate™ Hard Floor Cleaner with SpinScrub® technology is the ultimate 3-in-1 cleaner that vacuums, washes and dries hard floors with one simple tool unlike any steam mop or mopping systems on the market.

New Hoover FloorMate with Bonus!

  • New Multi-Purpose SpinScrub® Technology – exclusive Hoover® patented counter-rotating brushes gently wash and scrub hard floors from all angles
  • SpinScrub® brushes – designed to deliver the best clean while gently scrubbing sealed wood and vinyl, grout and tile
  • Dual Tank Technology – keeps clean and dirty water separate so you never put dirty water back on the floor
  • Quick Drying Power – squeegee dries floors quickly so you can get right back to living on them
  • 13″ Wide Cleaning Path – wide cleaning path covers more surface area and shortens cleaning time
  • Removable nozzles and brushes – for easy cleaning and maintenance
  • Beltless design – no belts to replace
  • Deluxe Handle with Fingertip Trigger Control – comfortable, ergonomic grip with trigger right at your fingertips lets you easily distribute detergent when and where it’s needed
  • Simple Mode Selection – turn the dial for stage 1 vacuuming, stage 2 washing, and stage 3 drying
  • 27′ Power Cord with Quick Release – vacuum a large room without re-plugging, release entire cord with a quick flip of a lever
  • Folding Handle – makes storage a snap, perfect for small spaces
  • Rubber Wheels – glide gently over surfaces and won’t scratch hard flooring
  • Limited One-Year Warranty

Ok so now that I have showed you the Hoover Floormate (and Maddisyn because she likes to be in everything haha) how about I give you the chance to win.

~WIN IT~
Hoover is going to give one of my readers a Hoover Floormate Spinscrub (ARV $179.99) of their very own.

Mothers Day – Swimsuits for All Giveaway

May 5, 2010 by Jessi  
Filed under Giveaways Ended, Mothers Day


I hate my body, I really need to lose 100 lbs and probably have a tummy tuck to be even remotely comfortable with the way that I look and as such going to the beach, pool or on vacation is a moment of sheer terror for me.  I mean really I have had four kids, I am overweight and under exercised and just plain frumpy.  I need terribly bad to hide lots of parts that I hate but my main source of agony is my belly and my butt.  When I was given the chance to work with swimsuitsforall.com I knew that perhaps I could find something that would allow me to be comfortable when stepping out of a change room or dropping my towel poolside and allow me to go and play with my children while covering me up and keeping me covered.

I received the Giraffe Plus Size Two Piece Skirtini from swimsuitsforall.com and it is adorable.  It covers me where I think it should and leaves me feeling comfortable and best of all it dries quickly so I do not need to worry about sitting in soaking wet clothes for a long period of time wondering when/if it will ever dry.  This swimsuit features a soft cup shelf bra which says it will comfortably fit up to a D cup but I can tell you that I am an E and was very comfortable with this top on and had no squeezing, squishing or exposure.  The bottom is a plain black while the top is the patterned piece.  The bottom is 15″ in length so it gives nice cover and the entire swimsuit is 82% nylon and 18& spandex so just the right amount of stretch.  Whats even better then the coverage and the materials is the price.  Right now this swimsuit is on sale for $31.98 that is a steal of a deal trust me.

~WIN IT~
Swimsuits for All is going to give one of my readers a coupon code for $100.

Go to Swimsuits for All and tell me which swimsuit you would choose if you won.

Mothers Day – iGo Anywhere Charger Giveaway

May 5, 2010 by Jessi  
Filed under Giveaways Ended, Mothers Day


I have an iPhone and Lee has a Blackberry, while we both love our phones and both use them for work we both find that they die FAST.  My phone has to be charged every night or else it is dead and useless to me the next day and I am lost without my phone.  I do admit that sometimes I forget to charge my phone or the cat unplugs the charger or weird things happen and my phone is not charged, these things generally happen when I am needing it the next day because I am going to be out of the house all day. Now with the iGo Anywhere Charger I no longer have to worry about that.

You can see the Anywhere Charger her next to my iPhone to see the relative size

With the iGo charger I plug it in and make sure that it has a full charge (it stays plugged into my kitchen plugs until I need it).  Then when I need it, like this morning for example because I was sick yesterday and fell asleep at like 7:30 and Lee did not plug in my phone I just grab the iGo Anywhere Charger on our way out the door and plugged my phone in, it charged my phone just as it would plugged into the wall and in the same amount of time and it is very small and lightweight I had it in my purse and did not notice the extra weight.  Other times I will plug my phone into the iGo Anywhere charger while it is plugged into the wall and that way I can charge both devices at the same time.  The iGo Charger has two USB ports in the bottom so Lee and I can both charge our phones while we are out and about if need be or I can charge my phone and an MP3 player for the boys.

The iGo Charge Anywhere can be used to charge multiple things not just the phones.  It can be used to charge multiple devices, including mobile phones, Bluetooth headsets, smartphones/PDAs, MP3 players, portable gaming devices, digital cameras, GPS devices and more.  The iGo works worldwide; no need for a voltage converter when traveling.

The iGo charger that I received is the Charge Anywhere model which is priced at $49.99 and I also received the tip for my iPhone to be charged and the cost of that is $12.49.  I need to get the boys the Nintendo DS tip so that we can charge those when we are on our road trips.

~WIN IT~
iGo is going to give one of my readers the iGo Charge Anywhere that I received.

~TO ENTER~
Go to iGo and tell me what tips you would need for your mobile device.

Mothers Day – Pearl Paradise Bracelet Giveaway

May 5, 2010 by Jessi  
Filed under Giveaways Ended, Mothers Day


I have had great pleasure in working with Pearl Paradise in the past and was given a Pearl necklace to review and I love it, I still wear it sometimes and believe it or not I let Maddisyn wear it sometimes too depending on the occasion.  I mentioned in that post how much I would love to have a pearl bracelet to match my necklace.  Pearl Paradise came back to me with the offer of a pearl bracelet to match and of course I agreed, the necklace was breathtaking and I had no doubt that the bracelet would be too.

When I received the bracelet I was not disappointed, I opened it and couldn’t wait to try it on and show it off.  Lee took me out for dinner and I wore the bracelet and necklace and received a lot of great compliments on them.  They are the pink-peach pearls and the bracelet is the 7.0-8.0 mm Cultured Freshwater Pearls.   These near-round to round pearls have a natural pink to peach body color and brilliant, rich overtones, with a smooth, clean surface.  The bracelet is individually knotted on silk, measures approximately 7.5 inches in length, and is finished with a 14-karat gold clasp.


The pearls come packaged in a beautiful black bracelet box which is held inside a white cardboard box to ensure pristine condition upon arrival.  It also contained a pearl cleaning kit which I have yet to use so cannot really talk much about that process.  As well it had the appraisal papers showing who appraised it and how much it was appraised for.  The bracelet I received is priced on the Pearl Paradise website at $105.00 the retail price is $310 and it is appraised at over $500 what a steal.

~WIN IT~
Pearl Paradise is going to give one lucky mom a pearl bracelet of their own.

Mothers Day – SwitchFlops Giveaway – ENDED

May 4, 2010 by Jessi  
Filed under Giveaways Ended, Mothers Day

I have had the great pleasure of working with SwitchFlops before and am happy to say that we are working together again and going to bring you some amazing shoes for giveaway.  The last time I worked with them I received the Black Lulu Shoes.  This time I received the Black Taylor shoes which are not much different from the Lulu’s except that they have a higher heel to them.

The black Taylor wedge with signature polka dot strap provides a little lighthearted lift to your day. 1.5″ lift. I am not normally one to be happy with a shoe with a heel, I am slow in them and generally twist my ankle which is no good for a mom of four kids who is always on the go and chasing a child here or there.  I decided to go ahead and give these ones a try though and am happy to report that I have not broken myself while wearing them and am quite happy with them.  I also received the Trisha Strap which I think is quite adorable and looks perfect on my black shoes and I have a couple of shirts I wear that it matches perfectly.

I got a little ahead of myself and already told you about my shoes and straps but what I have not told you is exactly what SwitchFlops are.  SwitchFlops are the most genius shoes in the world.  Lee used to complain because I had so many different pairs of sandals for different clothes I would wear, now I just need one pair of shoes and a bunch of different straps to put on them.  You see with SwitchFlops you break in your new favorite pair of shoes and then simply change out the straps because the straps Velcro on and off the shoes quite quickly.  Just think how much space you could save if you chose a pair of SwitchFlops rather then buying a ton of different shoes.

Whats even better is SwitchFlops also make the ever popular Ballet Flats now and you can get a changeable snap flower or similar thing to change the look of them.  SwitchFlops are also made for girls in both the sandal and the ballet flat.

~WIN IT~
SwitchFlops is going to give one of my lucky readers a pair of shoes of their own.

~TO ENTER~
Go to SwitchFlops and tell me which shoe and which strap you would choose (you must tell me both for it to be a valid entry).

Mothers Day – Scentsy Giveaway (Canada Only) – ENDED

May 4, 2010 by Jessi  
Filed under Giveaways Ended, Mothers Day

As you may or may not know depending on how long you have been with Jabbering Jessi I had the pleasure of working with Scentsy on a back in January.  I absolutely love the Scentsy Warmer I received then which was the Snowflake one, it is so winterish but I refused to pack it away simply because I wanted to be able to still use it.  So when I was given the opportunity to work with Scentsy again for Mothers Day of course I said yes, I just knew I had to share Scentsy with my readers again and this time I even get to give one away.

I received the Cherry Blossom Scentsy Warmer and it is beautiful.  The colors on the Scentsy Warmer are gorgeous, so vivid, true and beautiful.  This one is a light blue with dark brown branches and delicate pink Cherry Blossoms.  The colors match my mothers bedroom perfectly and she even tried to steal my warmer to go with her decor.

The directions to use Scentsy are very simply, Plug it in, Turn it on, Place one or more sections of the Scentsy warmer bar into the dish, Enjoy the fragrance.  If you decide you want to change the smell that is very easy.  You turn on the warmer and melt the wax or soften it up, then you can pour it back into the original container wipe it out with paper towel and put a new wax bar in.  I love the smell of all of them so I change our scents nearly everyday.

The warmer with the wax in it before they melt

The smell of the bars we have received are very nice, they do not overpower you when you walk into a room but are noticeably there at the same time.  Scentsy has so many different scents that I really cannot get into each one but I can tell you that we received the Go-go-Goji, Mediterranean Sea and May Flower and I really like each one of those smells, I honestly wish we could do a scratch n sniff thing here so that you could smell them too.

The warmer once the wax has melted, the smell is divine

Scentsy Warmers come in three different sizes.  There is the mid-sized Scentsy Warmer which Scentsy says is modestly sized and perfect for offices and compact spaces and measures 10 cm wide and 13 cm tall and uses a 20 watt light bulb.  The full-size Scentsy Warmer which is approximately 11 cm wide and 15 cm tall and it uses a 25 watt light bulb.  Last but not least there is the plug-in Scentsy Warmer which plugs directly into the wall and would be perfect if you have no room to put a normal sized one such as your bedroom or perhaps kitchen this one uses a 15 watt light bulb.  For fragrances Scentsy has over 80 of them so as I said before I am not going to name them all but I do encourage you to go and browse through the catalog and find your favorite ones you would like to try out.

~WIN IT~
Scentsy is going to give one lucky (Canadian) Jabbering Jessi reader a Scentsy Warmer and three (3) scents of your choice.

~TO ENTER~
Go to Scentsy, look through the catalog and tell me what three scents you would choose if you won.
