What is Scentsy?

Scentsy began in 2003 with the powerfully simple idea of aromatic candles - decorative warmers with wax melted by the heat of a light bulb instead of a traditional wick and flame.

Unique Scentsy warmers use a low-watt bulb to melt the specially formulated wax slowly, maximizing the fragrance time of the Scentsy Bar or Scentsy Brick. With no flame, soot or wick, the Scentsy system is a safe way to enjoy more than 80 Scentsy fragrances.

Don’t just sit around waiting for things to happen, make the most of your free time.  Be open to finding new ways of enjoying your free time.

Plan a weekend getaway to Virginia Beach and stay at the Founders Inn and Spa.  It's easy to make the most of free time at there, because there something for everyone - whether its a day of spa indulgence or family play by the pool. Open seasonally, the welcoming zero-entry pool is incredibly relaxing, as is the bubbling Jacuzzi overlooking the lake. Kids of all ages love the 25-foot circular water slide.

The Movie Tavern Experience

Contributed by Robert Vining

I confess that I am a Movie Tavern addict.  I'm a big fan of the Eat Dinner and Drink Beer Experience While Watching the Latest Summer Blockbuster in 3-D. I'd like to give a big sloppy kiss to the person who came up with this idea. Food, drink and movie...Brilliant in its simplicity!

Did you know that August is Baseball Month?

Baseball's rich history has some very deep roots in Virginia. For example, Charlottesville served as the spring training home for the Boston Red Sox in 1901 and Hall of Fame pitcher Eppa Rixey hailed from Lynchburg. Like baseball, Virginia Farm Bureau's roots in the Commonwealth stretch across generations of families.

To celebrate America's pastime and Virginia's baseball heritage, Farm Bureau Insurance has teamed up with all of the state's minor league teams to offer free admission tickets.
