Elizabeth's pink-bow ghostElizabeth Thomas

I Didn’t Start With a Business Plan. I Started With “I Have Nothing to Lose.”

I’m Elizabeth, and honestly, I never expected Scentsy to become something more than a hobby.

When I first started, I had never been a Scentsy customer. I’d never hosted a party, been to a party, or even tried the products.

I just wanted a hobby, and when I saw a $50 join special while Matt was off because his job had shut its doors, I figured I had nothing to lose.

Want to see what I found?

When There’s Nothing Left After the Bills

Maybe you know that feeling.

You pay the bills, look at what’s left, and realize you have to watch every dollar until the next payday.

Maybe you’d love to have a little extra money for the things you want—not just the things you need.

A vacation. Something extra for the house. Letting your kids go have fun with their friends without thinking, “There goes the last of my money.”

I know what it feels like to want a little more breathing room.

It Started Because I Wanted a Hobby

Before Scentsy, I was bored with all my free time, and we needed extra income after the bills were paid. There just never seemed to be much left.

I had actually started with an off-brand product and then realized Scentsy was out there.

Then I saw someone post about a $50 join special on Facebook.

Matt was off work because his job had shut its doors, and I remember thinking I had nothing to lose.

So I joined.

  • Not because I had a customer list.
  • Not because I had experience.
  • Not because I knew what I was doing.

I just wanted a hobby—and maybe a way to bring in a little extra.

Somehow, My Little Hobby Became Something More

What started as something to keep me busy became a way for me to bring in extra income for my family.

I’ve used my Scentsy income to buy extras for our house and our family. One year, I bought all of Christmas for both of my kids. Another year, I was able to put money away for a Disney vacation.

And honestly?

It also helps fund my never-ending craft projects. 😂

I’m still doing it, still learning, and still seeing what this little hobby can become.

If I Could Start With No Experience, So Can You Explore It

I’m sharing Scentsy because I want people who are hesitant to know that you don’t have to start out knowing everything.

I didn’t.

I wasn’t a customer. I had never been to a Scentsy party. I didn’t have a customer base waiting for me.

I just saw an opportunity and decided to try it.

For me, it became a way to turn something I started as a hobby into something more—and I want other people to know that there are ways to do that too.

Curious What It Actually Looks Like?

If you’ve ever wondered whether Scentsy could be more than just cute warmers and good-smelling wax, take a look.

I’ll break it down simply so you can understand what joining actually means and decide for yourself if it’s something you want to explore.

No pressure. Just information.
