A Year Improving People's Health and Wellness

I have been a Melaleuca’s Preferred Customer for one year. During this time I have tried many of their products to prove ‘hands-on” if the products they carry are better than the ones I used to pick the best option for me and my family. None of their products contain parabens, ammonia, bleach, phosphates, phthalate, formaldehyde and they are NEVER tested on animals. I want to share with you my favorite picks:

• Lemon Brite: Dish liquid lasts long, leaves dishes ultra clear and residue free. I have compared with brands such as Dawn and Palmolive and the cost is very competitive, especially if you realize that Lemon Brite has no phosphates, bleach or ammonia.

• Sol-U-Mel: Removes stains from furniture, carpets, clothes without caustic chemicals, instead uses the penetrating power of Melaleuca (tea tree) oil. I like both scents although my favorite is Lemon Blossom. Some uses for Sol-U-Mel include: mopping, air freshener, bathroom cleaner, sink cleaner, removes crayon, permanent marker, ink stains, juice, chewing gum and stubborn warning stickers when you park on a reserved parking space. Removes odors from trash cans, pets, and closets. I even use it combined with T36-C5 melaleuca oil to remove head lice!!

• Renew IntensiveSkin Lotion is fabulous to maintain a healthy skin but it is amazing on diaper rashes, allergic reactions on the skin, insect bites, cracked heals, rough elbows, yeast infections and itching and peeling skin (very common during summer pool days) This is far better than Eucerin, perfect lotion for people with Eczema, Psoriasis or severely dry skin.

• Tub and Tile works great to remove soap scum and to prevent mold in our showers, leaves sinks sparkling clean but I have discovered other uses such as to wash the glass coffee carafe when it is stained from the coffee, it leaves the kitchen stainless steel sink ultra clean as it removes soap scum and water residues and it is great on rust stains too!

• Melaleuca T36-C5 Oil this is a must in all bags. It is a natural antiseptic with antibacterial properties to prevent infections, it gently soothes skin when is itchy as it penetrates deeply in the skin (if you pour a drop on a balloon it will pop!), wont damage tissue on damaged skin. Its natural solvent power dissolves dirt and stains (it removed Cray Glue from my daughter’s fingertips!). Uses: acne, athlete’s foot, bee stings, bug bites, blisters, burns, sore throat (mix a few drops with warm water and gargle), disinfectant, decongestant (great when you put a few drops in a hot tub when sick), head lice, bug repellent, relieves sinus pain and even headaches when rubbed on the sides of the head and neck.

• Proflex20 protein shake has 20g of protein per serving and only 2g of sugar. This amazing whey protein shake works great after exercise to recover and build lean muscle but I take it also as a mid-day snack or morning power shake combined with fresh fruit and a handful of raw oats. Safe for kids and even infants. Great way to maintain muscle after 35 when we can lose muscle mass as much as 1% per year!  The difference from other shakes is that is not over-loeaded with vitamins, so you can give it to kids, or you can have more than 2-3 a day without exceeding the amount of vitamins and minerals recommended in a day. Be sure to use a blender with the chocolate one as it is harder to mix just by stirring. Use cold water and/or ice chips for an ice-cream taste!

• FiberWise orange, it has a very pleasant flavor and it provides 12g of fiber per serving. Do you know that we are supposed to ingest 30-35g of fiber a day? This is a great way to get the fiber we need to keep our bodies free of toxins, besides that it has antioxidants and vitamin C. Fiber helps us control our bad cholesterol and maintain our weight. Another great way to get extra fiber is with FiberWise bars, they taste great and have 9g of fiber.

• 

• Diamond Brite is a great dishwasher free of phosphates and bleach. It leaves your china clean and bright without having to use a rinse aid and in case you must because of the hardness of the water in your area, you can use Clear Power glass cleaner.

• Melamagic is a great heavy duty cleaner and an ant killer! Great to clean automobile grease, grills, walls, kitchen oven, floor (linoleum/ceramic), grease spills.

• Tough and Tender is a great all purpose cleaner that can be used in many surfaces such as kitchen countertops, bathrooms, car interiors, walls, sink, appliances (including stainless steel), microwave, toys .

• Access Bars are a great way to start a good exercise routine, naturally helps you turn fat into energy for better endurance and less fatigue. They are delicious too! They work great 15 minutes before workout on an empty stomach. I take them before cleaning the house or mid afternoon with coffee too.

• SplashH2O flavored powder is a great way to make lemonade or strawberry kiwi drink with zero calories!  Better than a diet coke and sweetened with sucralose instead of aspartame. These are a favorite of everyone that tries them!! Great during hot summer weather.

• Activate-C is a great powder drink that boosts your immune system much better than Emergen-C great when you get a cold or the flu and even better, to have once a week to prevent getting sick!!  I gave a small dose to my baby when sick and helped tremendously and he loved it too.

• 

• Sol-U-Guard disinfectant kills bacteria and viruses such as E.Coli, H1N1, flu, cold, Strep. And others, is very powerful thanks to natural ingredients instead of ammonia and bleach. Use it on kitchen sink, countertops, cutting boards, dish sponge, bathroom, toilet bowl, computer keyboards, steering wheels in cars, toys and other.

• The Gold Bar is the best bath soap I have tried, it is the only bar of all Melaleuca’s bath bars that has melaleuca oil, leaves skin nice, smooth, clean and healed. Last long and smells great. Another favorite among preferred customers

• MelaPower and MelaBrite, I never thought that such a small bottle will clean so well. Use them together in the soap compartment for whites and colors. I have tried many, many brands green and no green, these two are keepers. Use PreSpot to treat stains such as red wine, blood, dirt, and others. Also PreSpot works as ant killer!

• Revive WrinkleRelaxer is my best friend, it has saved me so  much ironing time. It also works like Fabreeze, use it to refresh a room or your bed.

• Toothbrushes, I was totally faithful to Oral-B for years, I bought Melaleuca’s and I have to say that I absolutely love these. My dentist told me I needed something that was softer with my gums cause they were residing (I noticed many times a little blood while brushing) and since I have been using that stopped.

• Toothpolish with Fluoride when I brush is like I just visited the dentist, great shine, clean and fresh breath. This combined with the mouthwash are a great duo to keep a mouth clean and fresh breath as melaleuca oil kills bacteria in our mouth naturally. 

Other products that are a MUST in my house are: Pain-A-Trate, Affinia volumizing shampoo and conditioner, Affinia hair gel (it worked amazingly for over 8 hours during my girls ballet performance and is alcohol free), Sei Bella summer gold eye shadow, Sei Bella Volumizing Waterproof mascara (the regular is awesome too), Sei Bella makeup remover is better than Mary Kay’s according to more than 7 moms, Sei Bella Night Firming Lotion is just one of the best night lotions I have ever tried, Sei Bella pressed powder, Sei Bella tinted moisturizer with SPF20, Sei Bella Day Lotion with SPF15, Sun Shades Sunblock (great even for sensitive baby skin), Attain bars and shakes, Simply Fit Instant Oats cinnamon, Simply Fit organic popcorn, Sustain sports (Gatorade substitute), Vitality Pack for men, women and Koala kids vitamins, Omega 3 (I use prenatal as it is double screened for mercury and has more pills in a bottle), Sun Shades chap sticks, Moisturizing hand soap (sweet pea, grapefruit and mango orange scent), Koala Kids hair wash (I use it to wash baby’s body too, smells terrific). Candle of the Month, soy candles with great seasonal scent.

When you try them on your own you will realize their products really work; and if for some reason you are not satisfied, call for a full refund, even on empty bottles. I don’t think any other company does that! Plus, by using their products you are doing your part to preserve our beautiful planet by protecting our streams and reducing plastic waste.

If you used to spend $60-80 every month at the store buying bath and body products, cleaning supplies, cosmetics, supplements, energy bars, snacks, pharmaceuticals, you are more than qualified to shop with Melaleuca, as you are only re-directing that money to better quality products that safer for you and your family. I know the shipping charges can be overwhelming but think how much you spend on fuel going to the store to get these items every week, besides that you get $20 in free products for 5 months and after that, you get 10% of your point order back in Loyalty dollars to use it later for free products!

Besides that, you have the opportunity of getting a small “thank you check” when you recommend these products to others. Have you ever got a thank you card from Whole Foods for sending customers?

 I tried many brands in the past regular and eco-friendly and natural, and I have discovered that their products are really superior.  

Preferred Customers shop from home online or over the phone and they still have the option to share with others if you find quality and value in them, just like you recommend a movie or a restaurant. By doing so, the company rewards you with a "Thank You" check for bringing a new customer. 

Save time, money and tedious trips to the store to buy your every day items, supplements, cosmetics, cleaners, toiletries and pharmaceuticals.

Plus when using these products you do your part to protect our streams and reduce the plastic waste in our landfills. THANK YOU!!!

Those with a little entrepreneurial mind can take some extra time to share the good news about this company and make a little cash on the side. No selling products, no repeating presentations, no collecting bills or tax, no inventory, no risk!!  What would $50, $100, $300, $1000 or more a month would do for your and your family?  Even if you only share this with 8 of your closest family members and friends, that extra cash will cover your products for the month!

Being Green Saves You Money

Day after day we hear about switching to a greener lifestyle but many don't follow this path because they believe that doing this will affect the family budget.

You don’t have to go to extremes to help our planet, but small decisions can make a huge difference to your health and the environment. Greener and healthier products can be a little more expensive than the bargains we can find at the local dollar store, but at the end they can cause health problems that will cost more money.

Here are some tips that can help you save money at the same time that you can do your part to help our planet:

• Choose reusable dust cloths over paper towels and use biodegradable products to wash it.
• Cut two minutes off your shower to save a minimum five gallons of water per day.
• Save on gas: walk, use your bike, shop online, maintain your tires in a good condition, take your time to drive where you need to go avoiding stepping on the gas pedal.
• Try to repair things before you consider replacing them.
• Get a water filter and reusable portable water bottles (aluminum rather than plastic) Regular water bottles are more expensive and they 90% are not even recycled and end up in our landfills.
• Many electronics and toys consume a lot of batteries; save money and help our planet by getting rechargeable batteries.
• Grow native plants in your garden it will not only save you time while gardening, but also water and the use of fertilizers and other supplements.
• Eating less meat is a way to save money and help the planet since there is less energy involved in the production of vegetables than processing meats.
• Go to your local Farmer's market and get seasonal products, they are cheaper and tastier. Avoid buying fruits and vegetables that come from far away lands they cost more and bringing them to you involves more energy and pollution.
• Think before you buy. We tend to impulse-buy many things at the store; items that frequently end up in storage or we only use a few times before going to the trash can. Shopping online reduces impulse shopping but if you need to go to the store, do it when kids are at school.
• Recycle your old cellular phones, computers, ink cartridges, electronics and batteries. there are many websites that will give you cash for these items!

So the next time you plan to go shopping, take some time to sit down and make a list of what you need, do some research online about the product and if possible, have it delivered to your house. You can find better bargains online at the same time you reduce traffic and gas emissions.
