Welcome to my blog, pull up a chair, stay a while.

Hi and welcome to my blog.
I decided to start a blog as a bit of an experiment.
Let me 'splain. I am an independent consultant for The Body Shop at Home, a job that I truly love. The Body Shop is an awesome company. In the (over) 30 years that they have been around, the have totally revolutionized the cosmetic industry. They have set the standard in cruelty free products, broken the old ideals of what is defined as "beauty", and made sure that thousands of people in marginalized communities were paid a living wage in the process. Anita Roddick, the founder of the Body Shop has been my idol and role model for quite a while.
Anyway, I want to use this blog as an outlet for my "passions", one of which being the body shop. Often I've found it difficult to talk to others about this. I feel, and I might be totally unsubstantiated in this, that when I talk directly to people about TBS they just think that I am just trying to make a buck off of them. And yes, I do like making money, but TBS is much more to me than just a source of income.

Anyway, this blog is a place for me to talk about TBS, review new products, and ask you the blog readers out there, your opinion on things.

I do have an email list that I could post some of these things to, but in th e interest of no overwhelming my email list (and losing all of my contacts in the process). I decided to post it here instead.

Anyway, thank you for reading. Please visit often, as I hope to update as often as life allows.
