Please share your story, why/how you chose this business and what you like most about it. How has it changed your life?
I found the Kids Need Us website really by accident one day. I wasn't looking for another home based business, as I was already in Home & Garden Party, Avon and Nouveau Cosmeceuticals as well as trying to build this website! I actually had gotten a few calls from people in this business because apparently my name is on several "home business lists", and I turned them all down, letting them know I was just too busy to start another home business. . . .
Last year, my 2 year old son, got a hold of my face toner and drank some! I was horrified that he had actually done this, as I had thought I had a "safe" house and he couldn't get into anything. . . all of my "poisons" were locked up, etc. I immediately called poison control and they assured me he would be okay, as he only drank less than an ounce. Well, I'm not a very "calm" person, and I wanted to be SURE, so I went online and started looking for information on poisoning and researching the ingredients in the face toner. I didn't find too much on what I was actually looking for, but I DID find tons of information on toxins in the home! Things I didn't know and never even thought of!
I was shocked by the information that I found ~ I wasn't aware that everyday household products could be harmful. I wasn't aware of just how dangerous some of the products in my home actually were! I found the Kids Need Us website and started reading the information on the website. The more I read, the more interested I became and wanted to know more! So I started looking for more information and one thing led to another and I eventually partnered with a company that is known as "The Wellness Company". We promote health and wellness and educate others on some of the dangers of common household products and offer a solution as well!
I would love to share the information that I have found with you! I have many months worth of research and even a great video tape that really is an eye opener! If you would like to review the information I found and/or the video and would be interested in knowing more about the "solution", please contact me at kidsneedus@bizdiva.net and be sure to visit the website that got me interested in doing more to protect the health of my family at http://www.kidsneedus.biz
I look forward to hearing from you!

P.S. Even if you are NOT looking for a home business, this is really worth checking out! You can become just a customer and purchase products at wholesale for a membership fee of only $29. In fact, everyone so far that I have introduced to this company, is not interested in working it as a business, but love the products and what they have done for them, and continue to just be a customer and purchase their own products at wholesale.
I was not really interested until I discovered and read the information on the Kids Need Us website. I knew that there must be others out there who don't know this information, and I have made it my mission to help educate others, and get these products in as many homes as possible. . . to make safer, healtheir homes for families.
