A lot of people might wonder why I would start a business at home. They might think it's a scam and that I won't make money. There are people all over making a great living with Direct Selling businesses! It's the perfect solution for people like me, that would like to spend more time at home with my kids.
The reason for me starting my shampoo biz......my why?
My kids, my husband, time freedom, financial freedom, low start up cost and the ability to stay at home with my family are my main reasons for starting this business. I know it will take time to be able to make enough money to do so, but I'm determined and not giving up!
Eventually I would like for my husband to work less so he can be home more....did I just say thatπ? I would like to travel and see more of the world and not have to worry about money. I know it's possible, I've seen it. The fact that there is not a physical "store/business" to run makes it simpler. I won't have to leave the house to go to a JOB. I can fit my business into the nooks and crannies of life. Right now I don't spend as much time on it as I'd like, but that's because I have a JOB to go to and my husband works very long hours. As my business grows I will be able to do that though.
Direct Selling companies are making it possible for people like me to earn a full time income while doing the things we want without being tied down to a traditional workplace. How long has Avon or Mary Kay been around? Years and years, with millions of consultants. That is awesome that so many people can earn an income on their terms!
People may be annoyed by my posts on Facebook and other social media buy I can't let that stop me. Those people have the ability to delete me or scroll past my "annoying" posts π. My family and friends that support me and my time freedom are more important than that. Sometimes it's hard to keep up the motivation because it's not always easy, but I have to think past that and look at what the future holds!! I'm so excited π! Thanks for reading.

Hair Update
I've been using Monat for 5 months now and the Let it Grow System and S3 supplements for 3. I've had a good amount of growth so far (I've had a couple trims also). My hair feels very smooth, looks shiny and it's not frizzy at all. The hair along my hair line is growing out like crazy. I have less shedding and breakage...before Monat, when I would brush my hair there would be small broken pieces of hair in the sink!
This company is amazing in so many ways. Giving people confidence again by fixing their hair issues, having sales where the proceeds go to great causes like our war veterans and people affected by natural disasters. Giving their Market Partners amazing incentives and rewards! Everything about Monat is A one!!

Monat For Nails?
So, I've always had problems with my nails. Very thin and soft, break easily and peel. If I used nail polish they would only get worse! To the point that they had to be cut so short that they hurt. They peeled so much that they were very thin and sore. They looked terrible!
My cuticles were dry, cracked and on the verge of bleeding. When I would get my nails done the manicurist would say I would always have this problem due to my work. Washing my hands a lot and opening and cutting up cardboard boxes dry them out. Every time my nails started looking better they would start breaking and peeling again. I'm always banging them and then they break.
I tried the hair and nails vitamins, biotin (which made me sick to my stomach), nail strengtheners and protectors, cuticle creams and oils. You name it I've tried it! Nothing worked......until now!
I don't want to jinx it, but I've been using the S3 supplements from Monat for about 3.5 months and my nails have not been peeling or breaking. They're growing and they are hard, if I press on the end they don't bend like they did before. I'm just in awww of these products. Nothing usually works for me, until I found Monat.
The recommended dose is 2 capsules per day. When I first started them I took one at night just in case they made me sick like the other ones I took. When I did that for a while I started taking two with no problems. I've missed quite a few days also. I haven't used nail polish yet because I'm nervous that they will start peeling again and I don't want to ruin them π. I will soon though...that'll be the ultimate test.

Hair Update
It's been 4 months since using Monat....doesn't seem that long ago! For the first 2 months I used the Balance System mainly, which consists of the Renew shampoo, replenishing masque, and leave in conditioner. I would use the Men's 2 in 1 as a clarifying shampoo once a week or so. I used the IRT spray, which promotes regrowth, each time I wash my hair. I just put a few sprays here and there and then massage it in. For the last 2 months I've been using the new IRT shampoo, IRT spray, Replenish Masque, leave in conditioner and oil. I also use the S3 supplements, when I remember to take them.
I wash my hair almost every day. Once in a while I'll go a day without. I wash with a nickel size of the IRT Shampoo twice, letting it sit for a minute or two each time. I still have half a bottle left also!! Then I put a small amount of the masque on the ends and let that sit for how ever long it takes me to do my business. After I towel dry I use a small amount of the leave in conditioner or masque with 2 drops of oil just on the ends of my hair.
Most times I just let my hair air dry but sometimes I will blow dry it then put a drop of oil in my hands and rub together then run it through my hair. When I blow dry it it's so shiny and feels so soft and smooth. My kids are probably tired of me saying "feel how soft my hair is!!" When it air dries it doesn't go frizzy like it used to, it has a bit of wave to it and it feels soft. When I brush it before my shower there are no little pieces of hair in the sink, that had broken off, like I used to get. My hair was dry and brittle.
In the 2 months I've been using the IRT shampoo my hair has grown at least 3 inches, maybe more. The hairs around my face are actually growing...they never did before!! They just looked like broken hairs that stayed broken. I see hairs sticking straight up on top of my head and the hair at the nape of my neck has grown also. It actually looks like my hair has all these fly aways, I guess I'd call them, until they all grow out. I even have a thinning spot at my left temple that is filling in.
I'm not feeling much of a difference yet in the thickness of my hair. I'm looking forward to that! My hair used to be so thick and since having kids it's gotten very thin. My daughters hair, on the other hand, has been feeling a lot thicker. She also has a ton of hair sticking straight up on top, even my mom noticed it.
As for styling products, I really only use the hairspray, which I love! I've never been one to use a lot of products anyway. I would buy the latest and greatest, use it a few times, then they would sit with all the other products I tried, because they never did what they said they would do! Once in a while I'll use the mouse or taffy if I'm curling my hair.
All in all, I'm excited to see the difference in 6 months or a year!

My Personal Story
My name is Tara Martindale. I am married with 4 kids. I live in Ontario, Canada. I work as a Supervisor/Cashier at Shoppers Drug Mart in my area. I stayed at home raising my children until my youngest was in grade 1 and started to go to school full time. I wanted something to do and the extra money came in handy.
Over the years my hair had become thinner and I’ve always had problems with frizz and hair that did not cooperate! I was looking into products to help with hair growth and thickness. I seen a post on Facebook from a person I’ve known since we were kids. I inquired about it but thought it was a bit pricey.
Over the next few months I was still looking for something and looking into the prices for these products, they were going to be the same if not more than Monat. I did some research on Monat and looked at the before and after photos and I was impressed. I was planning a meeting with my friend on a Saturday to talk about the product and the opportunity. I checked out her site and decided to just go for it and signed up as a VIP customer.. I received my products 2 days later.
I used my products and I liked the smell but wasn’t overly impressed with it just yet. I met up with my friend the next day and we talked about the opportunity….I had tried a DS company before and had very little success so I was kind of nervous to start another. That night I went to bed and was up half the night thinking about this company and the opportunity. I got excited thinking about the potential and possibilities. This company was only 9 months old in Canada and 2 years old in the U.S. Thinking about other companies that have been around for years and years and they are still going strong….what could this company do in future years. They are going to expand eventually!
I made up my mind and Monday after I got done my other job I signed up as a market partner with Monat!! It’s very exciting to think about the future! I’m so glad I jumped on board because the people in this company are amazing, customer service is great, my sponsor is there for every question I have and she even hosted a little get together I had to present the products and opportunity.
My results with my hair have been awesome so far and it’s only going to get better. It was my third wash that I decided to try to blow dry my hair. I never blow dry because my hair doesn’t feel smooth and it goes frizzy! So I couldn’t believe how smooth and shiny my hair turned out…wow! That was when I became a true believer in these awesome products. I’ve been using the Rejuveniqe oil on my eye lashes and I can’t believe the new lashes coming in and they are getting thicker and longer! My daughter came home from a birthday party and she was so sun burnt….I was not happy!! That night I put Rejuveniqe Oil on her and the next morning the burn was gone!!
Seeing the way this company treats their market partners is just amazing! My goal is to help others improve their hair and self confidence and also help them every step of the way if they decide to jump in and start their own business! There is no limit to what the future holds!!

Hair Growth With IRT Shampoo
I started using the new IRT shampoo on August 17th. I'm also using the S3 Supplement, the masque, and a small amount of leave in with a couple drops of oil. My hair has grown quite a bit! My hair is very slow to grow usually so seeing this growth is very exciting for me!
It might be hard to see in the picture when just looking at it straight on but if you look at my shirt you can see the difference. The left photo was taken August 15th and the right was taken September 14th. I think it looks a lot better too. The before photo looks 100 times better than it did when I first started using Monat and it's just getting better over time!!
I can't wait to see the difference 6 months from now!!

The Science Of Monat
Monat's ingredients are naturally based, safe, pure and sustainable. But with other brands recognizing the power of botanical oils, how is Monat any different?

Rejuveniqe's special properties energize and rehabilitate the scalp to visibly repair hair with instant and long term age prevention benefits.

Side Effect Of Monat?
So the other night I was getting ready for bed and while brushing my teeth I noticed a pesky grey hair sticking straight up
on top of my head. As always, I plucked it out! But something was different this time. Usually the greys I pluck are just that, grey....and course!
This time the end of the hair was grey but the hair from root to mid way was BROWN! I was shocked....how is this possible? I remember reading about a woman being kind of upset because her Monat products were turning her silver locks back into her natural colour. She wanted her hair silver! So I did a bit of research and turns out there were more people this has happened to. It is just not something that is promoted by Monat because it's not something they tested and researched.
I read that the healthier scalp and bulb will grow healthier hair....after all it is anti-aging hair care. I'm just hoping this trend continues for me. I don't have a lot of grey hair but it will be coming soon. The ones I do have get plucked but I can only do that for so long....I'll end up with bald spots ;)

Can You See What I See?
I feel like I need to talk about this because there are so many misconceptions and myths. MLM, Direct Sales, Network Marketing......whatever you want to call it, is a legit way to own your own business and make damn good money doing it! Some people may think it's a scam or pyramid scheme! But what I would like to know is.....if it's a scam or pyramid then how is Avon, Mary Kay, Scentsy and other DS companies still out there making money and helping millions of people earn a living??
These companies have been around for years and years and they're still going strong. Monat has been in Canada for less than a year.....U.S. for 2 years. So imagine what it will be in 5, 10, 20 years! The possibilities are endless and I get goosebumps just thinking about it!
That is what made me really think twice when I joined just for the products.....and the fact that I realized how good the products were after just a few washes. This company is DEBT FREE!! They already have an established company that's been around for over 15 years, so they know what they're doing! They also own their own FDA approved lab and R&D facilities.
The best thing about Monat is how they care about their Market Partners. It's like one big happy family and they reward you when you work hard and get the job done! I've been with this company less than 3 months and I've already been rewarded multiple times. Also within our teams we have contests and earn prizes. It's just awesome.
How else can you start your very own business for $100-$1000. If you want to open up a brick and mortar business you're paying tens or hundreds of thousands of dollars!! You have bills to pay, employees to pay, maintenance, stock to keep up with and whatever else is required to keep the company going. Also if the store is closed, you're not making money right? Seems much easier to start with a DS company. There is residual income with a DS business and your website is online 24/7 so you could be sleeping and earning money!
If you are interested in starting your own business but don't have a lot of money for start up and don't want to leave your home to go to work, this may be the perfect option for you!

How To Use Monat Products
Yes there is a particular way to wash your hair! First and foremost, you do not need a lot of product to get the job done. A dime to a quarter size amount is all that is needed to have fabulous hair. Some people may use too much and it ends up making their hair feel heavy or greasy.....especially with the masque or leave in conditioner.
First make sure your hair is really really wet. Squeeze a dime to quarter size amount of shampoo into the palm of your hand and rub your hands together to make a nice lather. Apply it to the hair and massage it through onto the scalp. Don't worry if you don't get a lot of lather. Leave the shampoo in for one to three minutes. Rinse and repeat. The second wash should produce a lot more lather.
If you use the masque in the shower, squeeze out the extra water and apply a dime to quarter size into the ends of hair. About half way up the hair shaft should do it since the masque may be too heavy for some people. You can leave the masque in for 3-10 minutes. Just clip it up and go about your business in the shower and by the time you're done you can rinse out your hair.
On towel dried hair you can apply the leave in conditioner. A half to one pump of leave in is all you need. If you want you can add a drop or two of the Rejuveniqe Oil, rub together in your hands and apply on the ends of the hair. Style as usual.
If you use the Moxie Mousse or the Tousled Texturing Mist, you only need a half to a full pump. I only use a half. Rub the hands together and scrunch it into the hair and style as desired. The Taffy is great to use for flyaways or to hold your curls. Very little bit is needed. The hairspray is awesome! Shake it like you mean it to activate those oils. It holds your hair in place yet it leaves it soft, with no stickiness or crunch.
If you would like a deeper conditioning treatment, mix a couple drops of oil with the masque and apply. Put your hair up and leave on for a few hours or over night. Wash out in the morning and you hair will be soft as silk!
You can make a spray detangler, which is great for kids. Add 2-4 pumps of leave-in conditioner and 2-4 drops of oil to a small spray bottle of hot water. Shake it up really good and shake it each time you use it....works like a charm!

What To Expect....
Everyone's hair is different and therefore everyone experiences different results at different times. Monat is a hair care system that takes time to do it's magic. Some people see results with one wash, some need a few washes to see a difference. There is also a period of "detox" that can be worse for some.
Detox is Monat working to remove all the crap that previous products have left behind. Silicones, waxes, sulphates and other harsh chemicals. These chemicals have been building up on the hair for years and it will take more than a wash or two to get rid of it.
Monat guarantees that within 90 days you will see results. During those months you may experience some or all of the following......
Month 1 - Detoxifying-Your hair and scalp begin to assimilate Monat's active ingredients.
Most experience:
Month 2 - Recovering-Your hair and scalp are becoming healthier and less sensitive to outside influences .
Most experience:
Month 3 - Stabilizing-Your hair and scalp are returning to a more natural state as most detox and recovering issues have all but vanished.

It's so exciting to think about the future with this company and where I'll be a year from now!

New IRT Shampoo
We were introduced to a new product called Intense Repair Shampoo and I received my shipment yesterday! The system consists of the shampoo and the Intense Repair Treatment spray. I really liked it....it lathers really well, even when rubbing it in the hands first! It's kind of minty but not a really strong mint like the Men's Black 2 in 1, which is a peppermint scent. I don't mind the Men's, it's a good clarifying shampoo.
I thought the new IRT Shampoo would leave my hair tangly and feeling rough but surprisingly it was just the opposite....it felt smooth and no tangles! This shampoo will need to be paired with a conditioner if you like using a conditioner. I used the masque then when towel dried I sprayed a bit of my homemade spray conditioner and there were very few tangles!
After I blow dried my hair it was so soft and felt really good! Never ever have I been able to say I love blow drying my hair!! I never would because it would frizz up and have lots of knots! Not the case now!
My homemade conditioner spray is just hot water in a spray bottle I bought from a dollar store. 4 pumps of the leave in conditioner along with 4 drops of the Rejuveniqe oil. Shake it really good with each use. There may be clumps of the leave in conditioner at first but they dissolve! I use it on Maddy and it works great!!

Rejuveniqe Oil
This oil is something else I tell ya! It has so many uses ... hair, skin, nails, skin irritations, sun burn ... just to name a few! I've used it in my hair and on my cuticles. I put a small amount on my eye lashes and have noticed new lashes growing and they are getting longer and thicker.
Very little is needed, a few drops for hair, not even one drop for my cuticles and same for my eyelashes. It can be used as a scalp treatment...drop a few drops in different areas then massage it through. Leave on for 20 minutes and wash as usual or use over night.
My daughter went to a birthday party and sun screen was applied before she went. She was in the pool all day and sun screen was not reapplied (we weren't with her). After work I went to pick her up and I was horrified when I seen her. She was so red.....I was so upset. We went home and she showered and I applied some Rejuveniqe at about 9:30pm. In the morning when she woke up it was almost all gone!!

This stuff is unreal. Usually products I've used never do what they say they are going to do and this oil goes above and beyond. As a bonus....it smells good....kind of lemony but not strong!

The Business Opportunity
I met with my sponsor to discuss the business opportunity. I was intrigued, to say the least. That night I was up most of the night thinking about the potential. Think about it.....This company has been in the U.S. for 2 years and Canada for 9 months!! Other direct sales companies have been around for years and years and have millions of distributors and they're still going strong!!
Monat has approximately 20 000 distributors, with approximately 5000 of those being active! We will be expanding to other countries in the future. We haven't even begun to scratch the surface! We are the first social marketing company dedicated to anti-aging hair care. The haircare industry is a $40 Billion market place with projected growth to $59 Billion within the next 3 years!! I'll take some of that!!
Monat projected their sales to be about $1 Million in their first year.........They made 25 times that!! $25 Million in their first year......Wow! This is a ground floor opportunity with a company that is debt free. Monat's sister company is a 15 year old established company in Latin America.
Monat owns their own FDA approved Research and Development laboratory, manufacturing facility and distribution centre. There is no inventory to keep, no deliveries and no parties....unless you want to.
Monat's products are competitively priced and last a long time because they are so concentrated. You don't need a lot of product to get the job done. There is a 30 day money back guarantee on these products, but guess what.......they have a 1% return rate!! That tells me people love and need this product.
To get started with your own business it costs $125 CAD, with the option to purchase a product pack. It's highly recommended to purchase a product pack....you get a ton of full size product which you can use for yourself or sell at retail price. I will make a separate post explaining the product packs.

My Experience....So Far!
My Experience with Monat.....so far!
When I seen a post on Facebook about Monat I didn't pay much attention....that was about 10 months ago! I inquired about it but wasn't ready to spend money. I was still looking for something to help thicken my hair and make it look better. Everything I researched didn't get great reviews and/or would cost the same or more than Monat.
I looked up some reviews on Monat and didn't find one negative comment! In June I decided to give it a try. What was there to lose....the worst would be wasting a bit of cash on yet another product that didn't work. I've done a lot of that the last several years!
I joined as a VIP and 2 days later my package arrived! I was excited to give it a try. The first wash I wasn't extremely impressed....seemed like a regular shampoo. Washed again and it was ok! I seen some reviews where people were in love after the first use....that wasn't me! I figured oh well I just wasted my money but whatever. I used it a third time and decided to blow dry my hair. I never blow dry my hair because it goes frizzy and doesn't look or feel smooth and shiny.
Well I can tell you I was shocked! I could run the brush through my hair while blow drying without it turning into a knotty mess! When I was finished my hair felt so smooth and it actually had some shine!! Never have I been able to blow dry and be satisfied with the result. I send my sponsor a text telling her I couldn't believe it....wow! This stuff, well I might have used another word, actually works!!
I was sold after that and met with my sponsor to discuss the business opportunity.....
