When people hear I work for Norwex, a lot of the first questions are:
1. Why direct sales?! 2. Why all natural? 3. Does it really make THAT much of a difference in your life?! (insert eye roll here) I felt maybe I should answer all of these questions now while I have the time, because usually I only get one answer in and it's usually the answer to the 3rd question. So, here we go! Why direct sales? Why not direct sales?! The WFDSA (World Federation of Direct Selling Associations) has reported recently that the direct selling industry’s sales volume was $189.6 billion in 2017, representing an increase of 1.6% compared to previous year. Yes, you read that correctly, 189.6 billion in sales volume... from people working at home or off their phones... So why do I want to be apart of direct sales?! Because it is an area that is growing and expanding and I LOVE the opportunity to work from home every single day, being my own boss, and not missing one moment of Addilyn's childhood. Why all natural? Again, I ask... why NOT all natural? But no, in all honesty this was a very personal choice for Paul and myself to make for our family. When I was pregnant with Addilyn, I worked in an environment that yes was fantastic, but where I was consistently using chemicals to clean. This is the standard health practices, so it's understandable. But at the time I was unaware of the consequences I was about to face when Addilyn was born. See I used a lot of bleaches, and harsh chemical cleaners at work and at home we weren't really using anything different than I was at my job. Breathing that in while growing a baby, I don't recommend it. But they put it on store shelves so it has to be safe right? Wrong, so very wrong. Due to a lack of me being fully aware just how bad these chemical cleaners were, Addilyn was born with a cyst on her brain, that grew all throughout my pregnancy. As a result Addilyn now has a speech delay and is facing many other difficulties in her development. So why all natural? Because Addilyn's body deserves a break, and deserves better. It was hands down not even a question the minute we found out she had a cyst, and pinpointed the reason as to why that all chemicals we're leaving our home. Our home has now been chemical free for 2 years !! Does it really make THAT much of a difference in your life?! First off, take your eye roll back when you ask me this question, because my answer will always be YES!
