Are you ready to take the All-Natural Challenge?

I have another challenge for you. Can you calculate how much money you spend on the following products:

Bath & Beauty
  • shampoo and conditioner
  • face wash
  • body wash
  • shaving cream
  • toner/astringent
  • body lotion/body butter
  • sugar scrub/body scrub
Makeup
  • foundation
  • concealer
  • eye-shadow
  • blush
  • mascara
  • eyeliner
  • lip liner
  • lipstick
  • bronzer
  • nail polish
Total $__.____

I hope you've had an opportunity to take my ingredient challenge. No matter how much you are paying for the above products, you should know how toxic and harmful they are to your overall health and skin. Visit these websites below and conduct your own research:

Before I started Love Me Recovery, I didn't know half of what I know today about bath/body and cosmetic ingredients. I did know my makeup wasn't making my skin any better, if not worse. Until recently, I suffered from serious dry skin, itchy scalp, blackheads, acne, ECT. Then, I started making my own bath and body products and my own makeup. After only two weeks, my blackheads are nearly gone, my skin has cleared up, my face feels soft all-day, and I don't have itchy scalp anymore. 

I'm going back to the basics. That is exactly what I want to help everyone else do. Let's go back to the basics and love our skin. 

The Big Kahuna Fundraiser

Are you ready to get rid of everything you own: bath & body and cosmetics that isn't really making your skin happy? I have a solution. This is where my "Big Kahuna Fundraiser" comes in. Today, I am not going into large-scale detail. I'm just scraping the surface of a huge project that is going to span 90 days from June 1st to the end of August. June is my planning month. Right now, I'm just brainstorming and looking for feedback (Please leave comments!). I get sad that over 1100 people have visited my other blog and never comment. 

What is my fundraising goal?

$6,000.00

Deep breath. I've got two notebooks full of ideas and I'm just gathering my thoughts. I have to say this before I continue. I've had a few people (friends, Facebook buddies, family) tell me I shouldn't ask for money. Well...I'm not just asking people for money. I am however asking people to take a chance on my vision, my company, and me. My mission for Love Me Recovery is simple:

"To provide all-natural bath & beauty products under $9.99 each."

I decided to launch my product line through contributions. My GoFundMe.com campaign will be centered around a product line theme. The idea is to raise enough capital to start my entire line and open a shared store front. My contributors are not left empty-handed. Everyone gets product. I will have multiple levels of contributions  ranging from sponsoring one product to every product. Contributions will range from $5-$120 (of course you can always donate more). The campaign will run 30 days, the whole month of July. It's all or nothing. I have to raise the entire $6,000.00.

Can I accomplish this? The average contribution to a GoFundMe Campaign is $25. I would need 240 contributions at $25. I have a bigger vision for this campaign ranging from small to large contributions. That is why I need a whole month to plan before I actually start my fundraising. 

Product Offerings

I will be offering all of the products I mentioned above.

Bath & Beauty
  • shampoo and conditioner
  • face wash
  • body wash
  • shaving cream
  • toner/astringent
  • body lotion/body butter
  • sugar scrub/body scrub
Makeup
  • foundation
  • concealer
  • eye-shadow
  • blush
  • mascara
  • eyeliner
  • lip liner
  • lipstick
  • bronzer
  • nail polish
I've already established most of my makeup line. I just ordered my first batch of shampoo and conditioner supplies. Yeah! I have the following products left to roll out in terms of makeup:

  • concealer
  • mascara
  • lip liner
  • eyeliner
  • lipstick
  • nail polish
I will also expand my foundation line to include more variation in tone. I want to tailor to all skins tones. I've purchased several essential oils and fragrances to use in the bath and beauty products. In terms of the fundraiser, my goal is to offer all products at $5-$9.99. I haven't finished pricing everything just yet. I'll roll that information out soon enough. I can tell you this much. You can replace all of the above mentioned products for only $120.00. Not too shabby for all-natural.

Step 1: Pre-Campaign Launch

I need to put together a kick ass fundraising team! The duties of this fundraising team will include:

  • Hosting fundraising parties
  • Finding sponsors
  • Video recording
  • Marketing & Advertising
  • Social Media assistance
I want to have 20-mini parties in the month of July and one big party on the last day of fundraising. My goal is to raise $200 a party, average $20 a guest. I have big perks for more money. If you raise over $350, the host gets an entire bath and beauty kit including all of Love Me Recovery's products (Valued $120). 

I want to raise $1k through sponsorships, $500 through Facebook, and $500 through other sources. The majority ($4k) will come from fundraising parties and social media. 

Those who are reading this, I need 20-25 volunteers to make this happen. I hope to find at least 2-4 people who can videotape and help out with social media. I'd like to gather a team of around 5 people for sponsorship's. I must gather enough people to book 20 parties!

I will summarize by saying that I believe in this company. Let's get back-to-basics and start loving our skin. In August, when I'm done raising $6k, we will all celebrate and select a day in honor of throwing away our icky bath and beauty products and replacing them with all-natural and affordable Love Me Recovery products. "Out with the old, and in with the new!"
