Sometimes a girl like me just needs a good kick in the pants to motivate her to finish a remodel project she’s had on the back burner, but has been ignoring for quite some time.  Such is the case with my hall bathroom.  Our hall bath is your basic contractor style1990s bathroom, with plain honey tone cabinetry and cultured marble counter tops.

So when the folks over at MirrorMate contacted me with the low down on their product and a coupon code, I was completely intrigued.  I emailed them back.  You mean there’s a solution for that plain wall mirror in my hall bath that doesn’t require me to purchase and install a brand new mirror?  That same hall bathroom I’ve been meaning to makeover but just was avoiding for the longest time because it’s ‘just the kids bathroom’  ?  Or so I kept telling myself. 

After a few email exchanges, those same kind folks over at MirrorMate offered to send me a complimentary custom mirror frame for my space.  Yeehaw !  Yes Ma’am !  Sign Me Up !  I filled out their user friendly form, faxed it to the company, and three business days later, I had my custom MirrorMate frame Fed Exed to my doorstep. 

What a difference it makes!  Here’s a peek at my hall bathroom before and after my custom MirrorMate was installed. 

What a difference ! 

Such a difference it puts the rest of my *ahem* outdated bathroom to shame.  This custom frame was just that kick in the pants I needed to get motivated on this bathroom remodel.  So I’ve got a plan to makeover the entire bathroom this summer (see below), but first, let me tell you how easy this MirrorMate product is to put together and install.

Greetings friends, another fantastic giveaway for you brought to you by my sponsor Emma from Scentsy !  Scentsy is a company that is all about decorative aromatic warmers designed to fill your home with long lasting incredible fragrances. 

Some of my best memories are triggered by a fleeting fragrance.  Isn’t it true that the greatest scents can transport you to a different place and time ?   I think a welcoming home should include those pleasant scents that always bring that sense of comfort. 

The fragrant wax from the Scentsy bars melts by the heat of a light bulb so there is never any concern about an open flame !  Check out my white warmer melting up a new favorite fragrance – perfectly pomegranate. 

In truth, I’m just so darn forgetful and constantly distracted, so the ability to leave this wickless and flameless wax on for hours completely appeals to me.  

These can sit for hours and hours, filling your home with delicious smell !  I now carry mine back and forth from my office to my bedroom, I like it that much.  No wicks or flames !

Emma Rae is my rep (and yours too) for making your purchase of any of these Scentsy Warmers.  There are dozens and dozens of styles and scents to choose from!

Here’s a few examples of my other favorites in the full size:  the Riviera, the Classic in cream, and the Torino.

They even have an entire set of DIY theme packs like these black flourish rub on transfers for you to create your own design. 

Did you know Scentsy even has a man collection?   Why yes, it’s true.  Perhaps ‘Rustic Lodge’ or ‘Hemingway’ may appeal to your guy. 

This giveaway includes winners’ choice of one of these mid size warmers plus three bars in your choice of scents.  Yum.  Double Yum.  Triple Yum !

Eligibility to Win One of Two Scentsy Mid-Size Warmers

1)  Visit Scentsy and tell us in a comment which one of these scents you’d choose if you won !  Is it Sunkissed Citrus ?  Sugar Cookie ?  Mediterranean Spa ?   Which scents appeal to you ? 

2)  For a second chance to win, post this giveaway on your Facebook profile, then come back and leave the link in a comment on this site.

3) For a third chance to win, tweet this giveaway on Twitter, and come back and leave your Twitter profile and “I tweeted” in a comment on this site. 

That’s all folks !  Giveaway ends Tuesday March 23rd at 8 p.m. PST.  Two winners will be chosen by Random.org. 

Good luck !
