      I could not live without an oscillating fan in college- it helped keep the air circulating, and acted as a "noise machine" to block out my roommate/TV/etc when I was trying to fall asleep.

      I gave Scentsy as graduation gifts to all my neighbors to take to college dorms...we have quite of few NCAA colleges available now. Now their friends are all asking to order. No flame!!!! No stinky dorms!!!

      Scentsy is awesome! Wish it would have been around when I was in my dorm room in college!

      You cant go wrong with a Scentsy warmer! I leave mine on 24/7 and my home always smells good! I wish these were around when I was in college too! Would have been great to have in a dorm :)

      So easy to use and care for  
       
      Just drop a cube on the top of the warmer and turn on! Your dorm room will be the envy of the campus! To change your scent.. turn off to let cool for a few minutes and pop out and place another cube-and turn back on.Or for faster change over is just take some paper towels and soak it up.

      I've been selling Scentsy products for two years now. A colleague of my husband uses a Scentsy warmer in his office at the university where he teaches. They are legal to use in dorm rooms, offices, workplaces, etc. Since the wax is heated by a low-watt light bulb, they are not the fire hazard that traditional candles present.
      Posted @ Sunday, October 24, 2010 6:10 PM by Debra King
      Scentsy is so awesome for college dorms, nursing homes, daycare centers,etc. For more information contac me at tiger57276@yahoo.com.

      Selling Scentsy is simple, it really adds up. Scentsy products are perfect for dorms, houses, apartments, offices, classrooms, anywhere that flames are forbidden. I got to go to the Bahamas on a cruise last month, and am going to Disneyworld in June with Scentsy. Scentsy consultants earn prizes, trips, and cash! I earned a flip camcorder last year. Every college student should try this great business opportunity. It is only $99 for a complete starter kit with everything you need to start your own part-time business while still in school.
