Melanie Hinds February 2014 WAH Spotlight

Melanie Hinds

My name is Melanie. I am currently a work from home wife with two companies (Gold Canyon and Younique). I am also a mother to four hairy children (2 dogs and 2 cats). My husband and I are very excited about starting a family and we will be starting IVF this spring! Before I started working from home, I graduated and earned my certificate as a Basic EMT & Hazmat First Responder.  I had worked as a Head Medical Assistant and in-office Surgical Assistant for two large medical practices over a span of 8 years before I was let go from my job. I started actively working from home in direct sales for the next 7 years. During that time, I had also served as a Treasurer, Vice President and President of the Direct Selling Women's Alliance (DSWA) of Michigan ~ Metro East Chapter. I have since then taught many business building workshops in many different networking groups and have been a featured as a guest motivational speaker at our Gold Canyon National Convention. 

I love the independence and freedom of working from home because I love being my own boss! I can make my own schedule and work around my family life and help uplift and inspire others as well. I love meeting new people and have developed some amazing friendships along the way.

I am with two main companies now. I joined Gold Canyon after I was first a customer and a hostess. I fell in love with the company and their mission. I love that Gold Canyon is a member of the DSA (Direct Selling Association) as well as a member of the National Candle Association. We offer over 100 fragrances with cool-burning wax, double safety wicks, long burn times and strong fragrance throw. I love that our candles are made in the USA right in our factory in Chandler, Arizona. Our company started in 1997 with just one fragrance (Fresh Orange) and now offer traditional candles as well as many wickless options such as warmers with timers. I am also a Presenter with Younique. This company offers women high quality, naturally based cosmetics, and skin care products. One of our most popular product features is our Moodstruck 3D Fiber Lashes (which was the first product that I tried and I fell in love).

I am an active person, I love meeting new people; motivating and inspiring others along the way. I have a love for gardening and the great outdoors. Which makes me a bit of a tomboy, however, I can be a huge girly girl too! I love art (drawing and painting) and have won several awards over the years for my work. I have many hobbies and I've always been a crafty person and love to try new things.

With both of my businesses (Gold Canyon and Younique), we have FUN! That's so important that you can connect with the company, network with other team members and have the support you need to help you succeed. We offer many incentives and team challenges that will engage you and help you build your business successfully. I offer team meetings (local and regional) as well as team calls and one-on-one training to keep my team informed and "in-the-know".

The Wahm Addict™ LLC would like you to know that Melanie is a valuable resource to our message board and for her peers. She is always there to lend a helping hand, offer advice and is a true team leader!
