Have you ever heard of Melaleuca? I hadn't until last year. They are the largest online wellness shopping club in North America. This has been a total game changer for me though. For the past few years I've had some nagging health issues. Over time and after encouragement from a friend, I just started researching what the chemicals in everyday products (even the ones that no one tells you are in them) could do to our bodies. Without getting into great detail (because there's plenty of that online!), I made the decision to sign up to be a Melaleuca preferred customer. My top reasons had ZERO to do with making money (and I still make ZERO money from being a customer). Here were my top reasons:
- To promote our overall health (especially mine since I was having issues) by using safer products.
- To save money by buying the things I know we'll need for the month through one website.
- Not only are the products safe for us but they are also safe for pets and better for the environment.
I was at a place where #2 really appealed to me because I could quit going to Target so darn much. I love Target as much as everyone else. But every time I go to Target, I spent $75 easily and wonder what the heck happened when I leave without the two things I went in the store for!! It was time to take back control of my wallet. :-)
By having these items delivered to me, it eliminates my need to go to the store. I have cut my spending by A LOT. I've also learned how to budget for what we will need for the month and how to buy in advance. This saves me money too. I buy what we will need, not what I want.
We have pretty much converted everything over to Melaleuca at this point. There are some items I still use (cosmetics being one because I love makeup too much to give it ALL up), but all of our cleaners and personal care products are Melaleuca.
So my order this month consisted of:
- Melapower laundry detergent- I got two of these because they were BOGO.
- Melabrite oxi tablets - Keep our colors bright and our whites white.
- Affinia shampoo and conditioner
- Lemon brite - hand dishwashing solution. Super concentrated! The tropical is J's favorite scent.
- Some travel size body lotion and my holy grail hand lotion RENEW! It's my favorite.
- Affinia face scrub (love this!!!)
- Clear Defense hand sanitizer (because I'm germ crazy)
- Tub and tile cleaner - the 12x concertrated version. This stuff is BOMB!!! I've never been able to get our shower super clean and this stuff killed the soap scum that we had such trouble getting off our shower.
- Some lip balm and lip gloss (supposed to be plumping but I don't notice that much - I like how it feels though)
- Clarity step 2 - For M's acne. They have a whole acne line that has really helped her.
- And last but not least, some Gold bars and Platinum bars (soaps). Love these!! So moisturizing.
So that's Melaleuca and that's our July order!! I may share our August order here soon. I ordered super late in July because I was a slacker. :-) If you have any questions about our switch over, leave them below I'd love to help you out!
I was not compensated for this post, I just love Melaleuca products and wanted to share them with you! If you have more questions about Melaleuca, just send me an email. :)
