Online Shopping and green products are the 2 major trends nowadays and have been growing rapidly during the last few years.
Every day more and more people are using the internet to get health oriented products and cleaning products that are not harmful for their families.
This site focuses in those two major trends. Learn to shop and save, get healthier options for you and your family.
Shampoo, deodorant, toothpaste, dish soap, lotion, laundry detergent, multivitamins, hand soap, baby shampoo, hair gel, face lotion, makeup, mouthwash, dental floss, tooth brushes, protein shakes, soluble fiber, candles, disinfectant, all purpose cleaner... you use these items every day, right?
Why not buying safer products of better quality with no harsh chemicals and have them shipped to your door?
Why not buying them from a US manufacturer instead of products made in China? Why not helping families like yours or mine every time you buy instead of giving the money to corporations like Walmart?
This is what Melaleuca is all about!! Over 350 products we buy week after week, month after month. Be just a customer, build a business or do both.
On June 10, 2011 a very good friend of mine called me and told me about Melaleuca, a green company that has all kinds of products. I remember I heard about it before and a tried to get some information. The only information I could find made me think it was one of those MLM companies. Amway, Avon and other similar companies came to my mind and because of that, I never look deeper into it as selling products, collecting bills and delivering products across the city is definitely not my style.
But since it was a friend I knew well, I let her talk and she told me this company is a consumer direct business, where customers order their products directly from the manufacturer, that means that they order directly from Melaleuca, a US company in Idaho Falls.
At that time, they were running a promotion of becoming a Preferred Customer for only $1.00 (regular price is not bad anyways as it is only $29) She explained to me that the membership is fully refundable for the first 4 months and that all products are 100% money back guarantee, meaning that if you don't like one item, they will replace it with another one of your choice or they will get 100% of your money back. After trying many green products that did not work and I was sucked with the product, that seemed very reasonable.
Long story short, I joined and I said I would place one order as I needed sunblock, shampoo and toothpaste and I would try them. We loved them and when I realized I placed another order in June.
It has been an incredible experience. The products are really outstanding, the vitamin line is like no other and the cleaning products are natural but still work better than any regular grocery store brand I know. This company takes care of the environment. They make super concentrated products as they figure we can add the water in our homes, that saves the amount of plastic in our landfills and keeps the cost of the products low.
I can tell you wonders about all their products but until you don't try them for yourself you probably will never understand. More energy, better health, softer hair, clean hands, clean clothes and all without harsh chemicals that can harm your family.
Now, it is my turn to share with my family and friends this company. Why? Because just as my friend brought me in, from now until November 15th the membership is only ONE dollar, and because I believe that if we all share this wonderful product line with others we would have safer homes and a better environment.
Why I love Melaleuca? Cick Here and see if for yourself. Let me know if you want to take advantage of this wonderful promotion.
I have always said that you should plan on doing your priority activities first as they will have the greatest impact on reaching your goals. So as a busy mother of three beautiful children, their success in life is my priority and in order to make that happen I know I have to be with them as much time as I can and teach them the way to stand out of the crowd.
I'm lucky enough to work from home and that allows me to watch them grow and play. I do homework with them, keep track of what they eat and see who they play with. They are my priority and I do all I can to keep their minds bright in a healthy body. I also like to take time to guide them about ways to take care of our planet.
Unfortunately conventional cleaning products are full of many different toxic chemicals that can affect kids more than you know. The companies that make them do not need to list the ingredients. You never really know what you are spraying in your home. One example is the ingredient formaldehyde. Synthetic chemicals to make our common cleaning products seem faster and more effective. As a result, we and our families are exposed to more of these new types of chemicals, our children are smaller and logically more affected by these. More children have neurological problems than ever before such as Attention Deficit Disorder (ADD) or Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD), learning disabilities, emotional and behavioral problems.
I have vanished harsh chemicals from my house for over 3 years now. In the process I have tried numerous green brands. Sadly most of them won't do the job and the ones that get close to doing it, unfortunately are way out of reach due to the high costs. But still, many of my children problems such as eczema have reduced dramatically.
The last 4 months I have been trying new products that actually work surprisingly much better than any of the products I have tried (synthetic and natural) even shampoos free of sulfates that leave hair soft and shinny. I have also changed the supplements that my family takes to a multivitamin that absorbs 10 times more and I can see the difference now as my kids are more active, focused and have not been sick even when many friends around them are!!. The candles I use at home are soy based without paraffin, which is very toxic for our respiratory system.
If you make a list of all of the products other than fruits, vegetables and perishables that you buy week after week you will realize that at the end of the month you spend quite a large amount of money in cleaning products, toiletries, beauty products, supplements, vitamins, over the counter medicines, sports drinks, among others. Then you should consider switching all those items to a better brand that has less toxins, is environmentally friendly and creates really effective products. Try it for a month or two and if you are not convinced, get your money back! Best part of all, is that I get everything delivered to my door so this saves me valuable time every week while I get our supplies!! Time that I have now for my family and for myself. You can always contact me if you need more information about the products and or the company. Follow me on Twitter and send me a message.
TIP: From November 1st - November 15th becoming a Preferred Customer only costs $1.00 that will give you 30-40% discount on all products plus $100 credit to try products!!
For the last 4 months I have discovered that good products do not need to spend millions of dollars on a marketing campaign with famous actors trying to makes us believe that their products are the best (i.e. Do you really think that J. Lo drives a small Fiat?)
Good products will always travel from mouth to mouth. People will always recommend to their families and friends the items that work for them just like they spread the word about a movie or a restaurant. At the end, the company with the best product wins!
That is exactly how I came to discover outstanding products that work much better than store brands, better quality, more effective, reasonably priced and the best part is that they are safe for us, our families and our planet. Products that are manufactured following a green process all the way!
During this time I have shared with my friends and family about these great products and today, 25 homes live a greener and healthier life. They have discovered that a clean house is possible without beach, parabens, ammonia or harmful fumes.
Because your health and the health of your family is always first!!

Take a look at the video below. Contact me so I can tell you a little more about it or to show you some of these wonderful products so you can see, touch, smell and understand all the great benefits this company give to all Preferred Customers.
I truly believe that our health and the health of our families depends greatly on the way we take care of ourselves from the inside out and from the outside in.
It has been proven and documented that all the chemicals used in the products that we use every day contribute to many health problems and illnesses such as cancer, infertility, asthma, ADD, Alzheimer and others.
Not so long ago I started my quest of turning my house green, in the process I have tried countless products, many of them couldn't do the task and the ones that could, I had to use huge amounts of the product, they had the smell of a rotten flower garden or were really overpriced.
A little bit over 2 months ago a good friend told me about Melaleuca, as an internet savvy person, I went to Google and tried to look for some information, I saw their products and they seem interesting but I was not ready to be a member if I had to experiment again with green products that don't work. But I trusted Tami, she is a very good friend and would not lie to me. So, I joined Melaleuca and placed my first order, to my surprise the shampoo and conditioner had a very nice scent and my girls loved how their hair was soft after using them. The toothpolish is amazing and it made me realize how much I don't like Tom's of Maine, again my girls took it. My girls loved their vitamins, which are more absorbable than the ones they used to take.
To my surprise, I received a nice Kit with a CD, 2 catalogs (one for their cosmetics), a membership guide and even a magazine! I never got anything from Seventh Generation, Alba Botanica, Sun & Earth, Jason or Method even though I spend a reasonable amount of money with them!! Did I even mentioned that on my second month and for 5 months I get $20 to spend on free products?? I never got that from any of the other green companies but Melaleuca is so confident in the quality of their products that they give you a total of $100 to try different products totally FREE!
So I placed my second order and the products were phenomenal, the laundry detergent finally worked and left my clothes smelling clean and fresh with biodegradable cleaners! The sunblock worked wonderfully in Cancun and never hurt my baby's delicate skin. My girls were at the pool every day but they never peeled off at our return! And when their skin look dried and flaky and no lotion could do the work, I tried Renew and it healed in 2 days.
The best part is that every time I buy this products I help Tami and her mom Tonii and some other nice people I know! I am not giving my money to Publix, Walmart or Costco.
Melaleuca does not advertise, even thought they have been around for 26 years! All that money saved they give it to their customers when they pass the good news about the company. So after trying the products and falling in love with them, I did, I did pass the voice and my organization has grown to 17 people! 17 homes that are using better products that are safer and reducing the amount of plastics in our landfills. Isn't that beautiful?
Melaleuca offers 100% satisfaction guarantee, they will completely refund or exchange a product if you are not 100% satisfied even on empty bottles!! I don't know too many companies that do that.
Want to try some of their products? It is very simple. Set up an account as Preferred Customer and order online, over the phone or via fax directly with them. If you are not convinced your membership is refundable and the products are guaranteed. Bottom line: There is no risk!
You can be just a customer or refer people from time to time, the choice is yours!! Find out more about their products HERE
And feel free to ask me for more information!! The change to a safer home and healthier lifestyle is in you!

As most of you know, I have a 3 month old baby. He decided to come to this world 6 weeks before his scheduled time and he was in the NICU (Neonatal Intensive Care Unit) for 26 long days. I usually shop online but for some reason I decided to go to babies R Us with my girls to buy some items I still needed for the baby and start organizing everything for his arrival. I guess going to a brick and mortar store wasn't such a good idea as my water broke while shopping, of course I left the cart with everything it had and I had to rush to the hospital.
I had to split in two and juggle my time between my 2 girls and their daily activities, house work, office work at KenRustAudio and the hospital. The hours in a day just were not enough. Luckily, after a few years involved with E-commerce I had enough knowledge to simplify my life during such a stressful time. While at the hospital I was able to order clothing, diapers, wipes, pacifiers, lotion, shampoo even the stroller! This allowed me to spend more time at the NICU. I also bought things we needed at home such as shampoos, lotions, snacks, protein bars, vitamins and more. I used a 20% off coupon and had the stroller shipped for free plus didn't pay tax and I got 4% back in cash at BabyViva so at the end I payed much less than any of the retailer stores that had the Chicco stroller that I wanted. That was a smart move!
I have a 8-year-old and a 6-year-old and when I had them I didn't know all the things you can order online. I remember having to drag them to Wal-Mart to buy what we needed and spend over 2 hours walking around that superstore with a toddled and a baby. That didn't include the horrible trip on a super hot car during summer in South Florida.
Today, I can happily say that besides I have saved so much in diapers, toiletries, cleaning supplies and school/office supplies using Non-Tax stores such as Drugstore.com, my life is much easier. I just go to my local grocery store to get dairy, produce and food supplies and I am in and out in a flash!
I discovered a website that is absolutely free and will pay you cash back for all your purchases. It is free to register and it is a smarter way to shop. I has links to over 4 thousands of the biggest names in retail so basically every store you need is there. And the best part is that it has a great search technology where you can search for an specific item and see the store that sells it for less and compare the cash back between stores, helping me save even more. It is a smarter way to shop, it is shopping with benefits!
After all, U.S. online sales expected to grow approximately 44%, close to $250 billion dollarsby 2014, accounting for 8% of all retail sales. (Forrester Research). Shop smarter and save precious time and money!
At this point we are all aware on how much online shopping has grown over the past few year. Just this last Holiday season, online shopping exceeded the expectations of the experts!
After all, as we continue to shop online we realize the convenience of having the items you need shipped to your door. Not only it saves you time and hassle but also money. When we shop online we can compare in a matter of seconds the retail price of a specific product, something that would require a lot of time and probably gas if we want to visit all these retailers in person to compare prices.
Over the last 2 years I have saved tremendously just by shopping from home starting with the fact that I try to buy from retailers that won't charge me State Tax (here in Miami-Dade we pay 7% tax). Just with that imagine how much I saved yearly on products I needed to buy anyway (i.e. shampoo, lotions, cleaning products, clothing, electronics and more)
And it doesn't end there, I have saved an incredible amount of money on gasoline! If you consider that the closest Walmart is about 5 miles away from my home, you can imagine how much I saved in a year since I stopped going to that store. Today, I just go to my closest grocery store for produce, dairy and perishables the rest is shipped to my doorsteps.
Another important fact to consider is the time saved. As a mother of 3 and business owner I have to find ways to save as much time as possible so I can manage to run the business, run my house and manage to spend time with my girls after school is over. Before I used to spend 1 hours just to go to Petco and buy supplies for my rabbits. Today I discovered that I can order online, have free shipping and takes me 5 minutes to put it away. The same with stores such as Toys R Us, Target, Macys. The amount of time driving, finding a place to park, getting kids in and out of the car, finding the item, making a line to pay and drive back home was more than I could imagine. My productive week was reduced to nothing as I spent all my time from store to store.
As retailers thrive to increase their sales, they have found that affiliate marketing is the best ways to drive traffic to their websites and get new customers. How does this work? They allow people to put links on their websites with the logo of the retailer so if for example you are reading a blog or checking the daily news and you see the logo of Walmart and you click there, you go directly to the retailer's website and when people buy something there, the owner of the website get's a % of the sale as a commission.
But what if you can make some money for all your purchases without having to worry about creating links, agreements, designing a website and tracking the sales? What if you could register for free and have a site built and fully operational for you in less than 24 hours? If 2-3 extra clicks could save you up to 40% in cash back wouldn't you do it? What if you could find your favorite charity or non-profit organization and donate part or all of your rewards?
