week of arrivals

I ordered quite a bit on Monday and I wasn't expecting all of it to come this week. Flip covers, my monthly Melaleuca order...it's just been an exciting week!

I've been slowly switching over to Melaleuca over the past few months and I honestly haven't found a single product I don't LOVE.

Things I love about the products:
GREEN!!! all-natural products. I can clean my house with my 10 mo old right beside me.
CHEAP - not kidding. Take the cleaning stuff for example: it's concentrated because they assume you have water, so you don't pay for water. I spend about 50% of what I used to spend on vitamins/cleaners/bath&body.
They work. REALLY well.
You're not buying anything new. You're just shopping at a different (better and less expensive) store. I don't buy anything I would be buying anyway (e.g. dish soap, body wash, laundry detergent).

Things I love about the company:
I do NOT sell products. I just tell people how awesome Melaleuca is.
100% money-back guarantee (not that I would send stuff back)
Customer service is fantastic.
They are over 25 years old.

I had my mom try one of their lotions to help with her psoriasis, and she loved it. Now the hard part begins. I'm not that much of a social person. I wanted to start representing Melaleuca because I really like the products. I am in no way, shape, or form, a salesperson, so I'm very glad that there is no product to sell.

The main problem with getting things going with Melaleuca is I'm not really one of those people who just talks about stuff. I don't talk much about my parenting style, my view on politics, what cleaners I use and love... *sigh* I think I need to break out of my shell. I mean really, how bad is it to talk about things you really like that are environmentally safe? Most moms would love to clean their kitchen and not get nauseated because of bleach products.

I'm more of a seed planter.
"Oh wow, your kitchen looks amazing!"
"Thanks, I use all natural products."
"Isn't that expensive?"
"Not at all."
**6 mos later**
"Hey you said what you use isn't expensive...what kind of stuff do you use?"

It takes a long time for things to grow.
But I'm surprisingly patient with things like that. :)
