A Few of My Favorite Things

Dogs are, by their very nature, smelly creatures. Children, I have discovered, are no different. I have two of each-- so I take the smellification process in my home very seriously.

My pug, George, has upped it a few notches in the odor department as of late. The kids and I had fun giving him a bath yesterday (something we usually leave to the professionals). But all this did was make my house smell like a wet dog... for a day and a half.


Whenever catastrophes of this nature occur, I turn to a few of my favorite things.


Febreze-- I have every variety imaginable. Febreze for pet odor, Febreze for the car, Febreze candles. But my all time favorite is Lavender Vanilla Febreze. I buy the biggest bottle they have and I usually go overboard and use it on every stationary thing in the house. The big bottle is almost always gone by week's end.


Which brings me to my second favorite thing: Scentsy candle warmers. This is such a great concept. I used to have dozens of plug-in candle warmers, but I would always spill and get wax everywhere. Enter Scentsy products. My new favorite discovery: Scensty carries a Lavender Vanilla scent that is identical to Febreze.

Needless to say, the wet dog stench in my home has been replaced by Lavendar Vanilla-- in spades.

I love the scentsy too. I have found a little trick because it seems the smell goes away too fast from the little squares. I go to bath and body works and get their home fragrance oil (they usually go on sale) rand put a few drops into the melted wax. Wala! Just like a new scentsy square for a lot cheaper!
