Hi Penny,
The Scentsy System is an electric warmer that uses either a 25, 20 or 15 watt lightbulb to melt wax. The wax doesn't get hot enough to burn (I stick my fingers in it all the time at shows because it's funny to see people's freaked out faces! LOL) so it's great if you have smaller children/pets. Also, the wax doesn't evaporate, just the scent, so you don't have to worry about breathing that in. And because it is run by lightbulb, there is no soot, flame, lead wick, or smoke. My husband is VERY happy about that since he hates painting!!!
We have over 40 warmers and plug ins and over 80 scents and it's one of those products that really does sell itself.
If you have any other questions about it...let me know. We also have online sales as well.
I do still use Avon all the time. Just got a shipment in from my friend...
