Five reasons I choose Scentsy warmers over candles

I used to LOVE me a nice scented candle. Until one day, my toddler grabbed at one on the kitchen table and burnt his fingers. Not cool! From that point on, I knew I needed a safer alternative to candles in my home. (Except during power outages, obvi)

Five reasons I choose Scentsy warmers over candles

Some moms I knew online had been talking about something called Scentsy for a while, but I had taken no note. I finally asked one of them about it. When she explained that Scentsy was a wickless candle - a ceramic dish heated by a light bulb to melt the scented wax - I knew that this was the solution to my stinky situation. Two kids in diapers is no joke!

I browsed her online Scentsy catalog and got two Scentsy warmers and three Scentsy bars. I fell in love immediately.

These are the top five reasons I keep choosing Scentsy warmers over candles:

1. Safety - Scentsy warmers use low-wattage lightbulbs to melt food grade paraffin (think the wax that gets sprayed on your apples) at a heat similar to body temperature. I leave mine on 24/7 - I don’t have to remember “did I blow out the candles before I left the house?” Even when little fingers DO get into the wax, nobody gets burnt, and cleanup is easy!

2. Cleanliness - There is no flame, no smoke, no soot. No black marks on the walls. ‘Nuff said!

3. Eye candy - seriously, have you SEEN our warmers? The variety is incredible. There is literally something for everyone. From minimalistic to glitz and glam, from country farmhouse to fund licensed warmers with companies like Disney, Marvel, Warner Brothers and DC - you’ll have trouble narrowing down your favorites! Scentsy warmers actually enhance your home décor, and increase the cozy factor. There is just something irresistible about a soft glowing light!

4. Versatility - Scentsy warmers come in a wide variety of shapes and sizes. Mini warmers plug in like a nightlight, while our larger tabletop warmers have a 5’ long cord with a switch. Choose according to your space and style! If you want to get really fancy, you can plug your warmers into a smart plug and have Alexa turn them on and off at certain times of the day!

5. Ease of scent change - When I used to spend $30+++ on a vanilla jar candle, I had to burn it all the way down before buying a new candle and getting a different scent. With Scentsy, I can change the scent any time I want (usually twice a week) with a simple cotton cleanup and some fresh cubes of wax. With 80+ scents available at all times, I never get bored anymore!
