If you have been following me for a little while you know I wrote a post not that long ago about My Journey to A Safer Lifestyle. If not, You can read all about it HERE. So, after attending Beautycounter’s Leadership Summit this past weekend I felt I should follow up with-“Why I Still sell Beautycounter.” As I mentioned, I just got home from Leadership Summit(a yearly conference for BC consultants). I was obviously feeling pretty inspired. Have you ever been to a conference for work? Even when you really dislike your job, you generally leave feeling pretty inspired(and so darn exhausted). One of the Managing Directors gave an incredible presentation on her dedication and grit to be able to quit her full time job and replace it with similar income from Beautycounter. Something she said just cracked me up, infact, Dusko laughed when I told it to him. So it must be funny, right?!?!? She said after her first summit, her husband asked her if she drank the “kool-aid?” Her response, “No, but I did drink the non-GMO, organic smoothie!” Ok, ok, maybe I am actually turning into a nerd? I still think it’s hilarious though, and the ironic thing is, I actually personally did not drink the kool-aid either but I sure did drink A LOT of wine with some great old and new friends!

Me and one of my oldest/very first friends-Britt!

Me and a bunch of awesome new friends!

They also had so many fun photo booth opportunities and if you know me, you know I spent a lot of my night taking advantage of them!!!

So, bonus, this business(side gig) whatever you want to call it has also made me a great new social circle! I want you all to know I have technically been a Beautycounter consultant for almost 2 years, come this Sept. I went to this leadership summit thinking ok, maybe I will dive more into the product, get to know some of the women, etc. To my surprise I came out of it completely OBSESSED with Beautycounter’s Mission(and maybe even feeling like I want to be a politician-maybe in my next life). It is a fairly simple mission-To get safer products into the hands of EVERYONE!

What I didn’t know, maybe sheer ignorance was that Beautycounter actually has a lobbyist that works for them and goes to Washington D.C. regularly, fighting to get a law passed with regulations over certain chemicals. There have also been hundreds of consultants that have won trips to go with her. If you don’t already know this, there hasn’t been a major federal law passed in the United States since 1938(come on people, the ball point pen was invented in the same year) to regulate the safety of ingredients used in our personal care products!!! Beautycounter and it’s thousands of consultants and customers are MAKING a difference in the world. It is so much more than just skincare. I also heard someone over the weekend say you can’t unlearn what you have already learned. It’s kind of like when your friend tells you a secret and you try so hard to just forget it so you don’t tell anyone else. lol, but really you just think about it more! You all know what I am talking about!!! I will be honest, I used to kind of ignore people or just not read articles regarding all of these cancer causing chemicals and hormone disruptors. Ignorance is bliss, amiright??!?! But it’s reality and we are living it. We are also raising kids in this world and if I can make a difference in my family’s life as well as people that I connect with, than I am here to stay! I left this weekend feeling proud that I am a Beautycounter consultant, I left feeling like I really want to share this gift with anyone else that wants to take it. If you are interested in the opportunity to really have a voice, or maybe just to make friends(lol), or just to get some awesome, safe, beauty products, click HERE! Also, take a few minutes to read an older blog post of mine that was a Clean Sweep campaign Beautycounter did a little while back. It gives great insight to a lot of the harsh chemicals and what you should try to switch out immediately!
