The Poshortunity that Couldn't be Ignored!

Some of my readers are probably wondering what Perfectly Posh is and why I'm so obsessed with it.  Close friends of mine completely understand and are probably sick of me talking about it.  The short and sweet:  Perfectly Posh is a natural-based pampering product line.  We don't use parabens, paraffins, sulfates, soy, or gluten.  We are also cruelty-free and made, packaged, and distributed in the USA!  So, why the obsession....because I'm a Independent Consultant for Perfectly Posh and I have a team of 13 other women with the same obsession! :)  This wasn't my intention from the get-go, but you know how some things just happen?  Well here's my Posh story up to this point.


A few years ago my sister found a new, small spa company that she was interested in.  (Side note: I call her the Direct Sales Queen.  She will find all the new, fun direct sales companies and sign up for them just to see what they're all about.)  When she first told me about it, my first thought was "Really, another DS company?  How many are you going to have a hand in?  I don't really need any lotion or body stuff".  I didn't buy anything from her right away but she gave me a few thing as a gift for my birthday.  I liked the product, but it wasn't really love at first site.  Then she told me about the BFF face wash.  I figured, what did I have to loose?  I had tried everything else under the sun for the acne I had been suffering from since I was twelve.  I decided to give it a shot.  I broke out really bad from it during the first week, but then my face started clearing up...and fast!  I started getting compliments on my complexion without even saying I had been doing something different.  (For me this was like hearing that you're beautiful for the first time or having the boy you have a crush on take notice in you.)

FYI the photo on the left is from a long time ago, but it was the only photo I could find the my face wasn't caked with makeup!  The one on the right is right after I washed my face, a little grainy (because I took it with my phone), but you can still see the difference.

I used the BFF and Night & Day moisturizer for about a year when my sis told me she was going inactive with Perfectly Posh.  It wasn't that she didn't love the products, she just wasn't actively selling it and she didn't need to buy anymore to stay active (BTW, you only have to buy $300 every 6 months).  I was devastated!  How was I going to buy my face wash!  I didn't want to go back to dealing with black heads and zits! :(  My sis came to the rescue and told me to sign up for myself.  Why not!  I could easily spend $300 every 6 months on these products.  I could give them as gifts, tell a few friends about the face wash.  No problem!

About a week after I got my kit I decided to have some friends over for a Destressification Party before the holidays.  I had intentions of letting them use some of my product from the kit, but it wasn't a sales pitch.  The girls came over, we had some wine, did some meditation, and they got to soak their feet.  I used some other products I had and some Posh products.  They fell in love.  Two of them decided they wanted to sell Posh.  I was still new to being a consultant, so I told them they could sign up under me, but we would have to learn together.  And we have!  Without those two I wouldn't have this amazing team, Posh Panache, and I wouldn't have thought that I could seriously make this a job.  It is now my full time job and I LOVE IT!  It's been less than 4 months since I started selling Posh to myself and since then I have been promoted three times, have earned awards (worth $1000s), and am going to be recognized at our annual meeting, Unconventional.  The BFF changed my skin, but Perfectly Posh has changed my life!
