Why I LOVE Melaleuca! I MAKE money and SAVE money and YOU can be apart of it!


Why Melaleuca?

#1.    I LOVE the products!
#2.    I’m making money and saving money!

Many of you have probably heard of Melaleuca:The Wellness Company or used some of the products before. I’ve been using and selling Melaleuca for a little over a year and love every part of it! After having Sawyer and realizing how often I pour bleach and other hazard products on everything I clean, I started wondering what else I could use that would be safer. I was introduced to Melaleuca and fell in love with it! ALL of the products are better than I ever would have bought at Wal-mart. I have a really long list of my top favorite products (if you want to sample any of them!). Melaleuca sells cleaning supplies, lotion, make-up, health foods, laundry detergent, acne prevention kits, men’s products, fragrances and so much more! Not only are most of the products all natural, they are also concentrated so they last months longer than store brands. I was never a crazy person about using all natural products, but once I discovered I could spend the same, if not less, MAKE money….and have top of the notch products…I was totally sold! Since I’ve starting selling the products, I haven’t spent any money on dish soap, laundry detergent, lotion, cleaning supplies, shampoo, conditioner, toothpaste, soap, acne treatment, chapstick (my favorite) in over a year!!! Plus, I make extra after that’s paid for! I’ve never been a sales woman, not quite my strength…but I do know I have loved doing this and it has been nothing but a positive experience for our family! Items are shipped to people’s homes, so there is no inventory or keeping up with products. No parties, weekly emails, etc. Basically, Melaleuca replaces a typical Walmart trip with better products, better deals, and ships right to your front door!
A few cool things about Melaleuca:
  •  It is a 100% debt free company that has been in business since 1985.
  • Everything is online and SO easy to order.
  • There are some incredible products for eczema and acne. I have lots of success stories I would love to share with you!
  • 850,000 households shop with Melaleuca each month.
  • Melaleuca makes over 1.8 billion dollars in sales each year.
  • There are over 350 products to choose from.
  • Products are concentrated and last longer than the typical “store brand.”
  • The cleaning supplies actually smell good AND work!!!

A little bit about the CEO: Frank Vandersloot
Well for one, he is great friends with Dave Ramsey…that’s always a good sign! Dave Ramsey has a column in Melaleuca’s monthly magazine.
In 1985, VanderSloot founded Melaleuca, Inc., a multi-level marketing company that sells environmentally friendly, nutritional supplements, cleaning supplies, and personal-care products and he has been president and chief executive officer ever since his vision was of bringing healthy, natural, environmentally safe products to consumers via word of mouth as opposed to conventional radio and television advertising and has paid off quite well. Melaleuca operates internationally, with U.S. operations centered in Idaho Falls, Idaho, and Knoxville, Tennessee. Customers buy directly from Melaleuca's website and "independent marketing executives" receive commissions from Melaleuca for each purchase made by people they refer. The company refers to this arrangement as “Consumer Direct Marketing," a term it has trademarked. Inc. magazine included Melaleuca on its Inc. 500 list of the fastest-growing private companies in the United States every year from 1990 to 1994 before inducting the company into its Hall of Fame in 1994.VanderSloot says that the company has a "business model for those people who want to supplement their income.” VanderSloot estimates that roughly 190,000 marketing executives "earn a check from Melaleuca each month," 20,000 of whom "make their primary living through the company." As executives recruit, their titles change and they make more money.

Want to know more?
If you are interested in learning more about the products, or becoming a “marketing executive” you can e-mail me tillanie@gmail.com. I would LOVE for you to join our team. There are zero risks! Melaleuca customers can cancel at anytime. There is a $29 one time sign up fee, and after that, ordering online is easy and fun! There are lots of options to save, get $100 worth of free products, access to discounts from all kinds of other retailers online (Target, Kohls, Dillards, etc.). During the month of July Melaleuca is offering a special for a $1 sign up fee instead of $29. (This come around often…every other month or so.) I love love love Melaleuca and would love to share more about it with you!

Sawyer James you are ONE AND A HALF!!! Happy 18 Months!


We have a ONE AND A HALF YEAR OLD! I can't believe it! We are having such a wonderful summer together! Mommy and SJ might be getting a little too attached to each other! We spend all of are days together...and for the most part :)...we love every second of it! We've been to the zoo, the library, the pool, the park, the splash park, Ft. Worth, Arkansas, and watched many episodes of Bubble Guppies! 

Sawyer is turing into a big boy so quickly! He can say lots and lots of words and runs around like he owns every place we go.  Every month he still continues to have the same goal in mind everyday...to RUN until bedtime! And he only gets faster everyday! Life with this little guy went from nurturing and providing to teaching and training in a flash! We use every opportunity we get to train SJ up to be a strong man of God, however, most of our training right now is just for a nonbiting, nonhitting, nongrunting, nontoilet paper unrolling little boy :) Life sure is way more exciting with this sweet kiddo around. I've read lots of books and listened to lots of mentors explain the highs and lows of parenting. There's no understanding it all until that little boy sits right in front of you and says, "no mama." Sawyer, say, "yes mama!" That little boy looks in my eyes and says, "nope." Well, how about ya! All three of us are sure learning alot during this season! What we hear over and over from parents that we want to model our life after is CONSISTENCY is the key! So consistency we try to do all the time, but this kid did not come with an owner's manual. And if you know the Franks at all...we really really like manuals! 

Sawyer James we love you so much! Happy 18 months little man!

I felt like one of those girls that gets to ride on top of the car at parades!
