Mela- what??

Welcome to the latest of my adventures. Last week some good friends introduced me to a great company, MELALEUCA. After hearing the whole presentation, I signed on as a customer AND a representative. Yes, I truly believe it is THAT good.
Well, let me rephrase that, I truly believe it has the potential to be that good. To me, it's like entering into a new relationship. When I met Marc, I realized that on paper, this was the guy for me. Whether or not he was my one true love, only time could tell (thankfully, he was!) :)
Anyway, so here we are, in the dating stage...
Let me explain, though, why I would do something like this. Here are my top ten reasons why I chose to switch to Melaleuca:
10. All products are all natural, non-toxic and keep your health and well being as a top priority.
9. The company has been around for over 20 years and has grown significantly in that time. (you can't do that if you don't have a good product)
8. Huge product base of health care, medicinal, cleaning, bath and body, kids and beauty products. Again, ALL of them are all-natural.
7. Opportunities to make a little income to offset the rising costs of gas, groceries and life in general.
6. Most products are concentrated and all are designed to be friendly to our planet.
5. Safe to use around kids and pets. In fact, many people say that problems like eczema, allergies, asthma and many other common respiratory problems went away once they began using Melaleuca.
4. As a representative, I don't have to carry any inventory or be pushy about sales. (thank goodness... I love you all too much!)
3. 100% Guaranteed. Absolutely no risk involved.
2. Whole Foods products at Wal-Mart prices
1. Everything is done from the comfort of your home computer. (no running around with Ashley, wasting gas, getting babysitters etc.)

So, as you can see, on paper this all looks GREAT! I am very excited about it and got my first order last night. As we all know, though, the proof is in the pudding. So, as I try these new products I am going to be really honest about whether I like them or not. I am going to keep a regular log about what I have used and a review because if any of you are interested in switching and saving with Melaleuca, then I feel it is my job as a representative to help you be as informed as possible.
So, here is what I have used so far:

Vitality for Women Vitamin pack- Easy to use, just open the pack and pop them in-no measuring out pills, I like that- day and night packs (I have read countless reports that this is better for you)- vanilla coating is pretty yummy.

Fiber Wise Cinnamon Clusters Cereal- MMMmMMMMmmm, yummy! (Although, please know that I like cereals like Kashi Go Lean Crunch- which is what it was very similar to) Kept me going strong through workout and errands.

Simply Fit Harvest Grain Crackers- Very yummy! I am enjoying them right now actually. :)

Antibacterial Hand Soap in Mint- Love, love, love this stuff!! No more Bath and Body Works for me! Very lather-icious while only using a very small amount.

Clear Defense Moisturizing Hand Sanitizer- works well, dries quickly without being sticky

Alloy Men's After Shave- Marc used this and liked it

Body Satin Moisturizing Body Wash in Original scent- LOVED this!! Smelled so good, I didn't want to stop scrubbing! And it really left my skin soft without being greasy.

Body Satin Cleanser and Toner- loved this as well. Works as well or better than any face soap I have ever used (and believe me, I have tried them all). I'll post an update if my skin start looking great or weird.

Envia Shampoo and Conditioner- Liked it, didn't love it. Lathered kind of funny but seemed to do the job. My hair seems soft, smooth and smells good though.

Tooth Polish- Hmmm, not my favorite product. It tastes really weird although my teeth feel really really clean after brushing. It comes in cinnamon so I may have to give that a try.

Pain-a-trate- Marc used this and liked it well enough. It's not greasy and rubs in completely which is nice. He's pretty picky about his muscle rubs though...

Sun Shades Lip Balm in Vanilla- Yum!! Love this!! It just smells like vanilla so you don't lick your lips and it is very moisturizing and long-lasting

Renew lotion- LOVE this!!! It works so well. Very moisturizing without being greasy at all.

Mela-power laundry detergent- Seems to work very well. I like that it is concentrated and it smells really good.

Mela-soft dryer sheets- worked well and smelled good, what more do you want!

Tough and Tender wipes- I am not a huge fan of the cleaning wipe (think Clorox or Lysol wipes) but this one worked very well. It didn't just move the dirt around, it picked it up pretty well and made everything look and smell good. Plus, they are biodegradable which is nice.


OK, whew! So there you have it. I have been a busy girl today!! Seriously though, I believe that testimony can be the best advertisement and I want to be an honest rep. I can't sell anything I don't fully stand behind.
