"but most of all, I love building a network of people who care about the health of our world and the safety of our families."
I wish I could say that I have always cared about the products I use in my home. Unfortunately, natural home and personal care was never a priority of mine until the birth of my first child.
Like most people, I'm all about saving money. I would buy the majority of our products in bulk at wholesale stores... dish soap, sponges, disinfectant sprays, dishwater pods, floor cleaner, glass cleaner, paper towels, laundry detergent, dryer sheets, shampoo and conditioner, body wash... and the list goes on. I rarely paid attention to the chemicals I was using to clean myself and my home... I was simply focused on buying products that were effective and didn't break the bank.
When I was 9-months pregnant with our first child, I attended my first H2O at Home party. I had never heard of their products before and was impressed by the advisor's demo. However, I told myself, "Alicia, you have a ton of cleaning products at home. Why do you need to buy MORE products? "
So, I started small. At the first party, I only purchased the Variety Kit of three Chiffonnettes®. I started cleaning with them right away and fell in love! I could not get over the power of the microfibers and cleaning with just water. And the best part - my house didn't reek of nasty chemicals! I didn't have to worry about inhaling all the toxic aerosols when I was cleaning, especially since I was super pregnant. I was hooked.
About a month after our son was born, I attended my second H2O at Home party. We were on a tight baby budget, so as much as I wanted to go on an H2O at Home shopping spree, I curbed my inner shopping diva and only purchased the double-sided microfiber sponge set and the Netepur bar. But once I heard all the amazing rewards hostesses receive for hosting a party, I signed up to host one the following month!

My party was a super success! I had about 7-8 friends attend, and we had a blast. We sipped some wine, snacked on some munchies, and learned more about H2O at Home. My party sales were high enough to earn me around $100 in free products (of my choosing!) and 50% off an item. As a bonus, two friends booked parties with my advisor, so I ended up receiving two additional items for 50% off. I was thrilled and could not wait to start using all my products!
My advisor could tell how excited I was, so she asked me if I ever thought about joining H2O at Home as an advisor. My answer was a flat, straight-faced "No." I could never do what she does! I could never get up in front of people and sell something. Plus, I'm an engineer... I don't want to sacrifice my professional career to take on a side project. And I just had a baby. I wanted to spend as much time with him as I possibly could.
But the more I thought about it, the more I realized what I was doing. I was making excuses. I love every aspect of what makes H2O at Home such a wonderful company... their values, beliefs, and commitments to providing natural, cruelty-free, and eco-friendly products with honest, transparent labels. Plus, I have peace of mind that when my son begins crawling and starts putting everything in his mouth, I don't have to worry about him ingesting harsh, toxic chemicals that can accumulate in his system. I don't have to worry about the residue products will leave on his smooth, perfect baby skin. I can rest assured that my home is clean, my son is safe, and I'm doing my part to preserve the environment,
So I jumped in. I joined the H2O at Home team and am loving every second of it. I love sharing my excitement for H2O at Home with others. I love showing my Before and After photos that demonstrate the cleaning power of our products using 90% less chemicals. I love showing people how much time and money they can save by switching to our products. But most of all, I love building a network of people who care about the health of our world and the safety of our families.
