doTERRA Convention Overview

Morning all!

I'm finally caught up enough to sit down and reflect on our trip to Salt Lake City, UT last week. I hope to make this short and sweet - but there are no promises. ;)

For those that don't know, 11 of us set on a journey to Utah for the yearly doTERRA Convention. Us and 18,000 other Wellness Advocates experienced 3 days of nonstop education and empowerment. I can honestly say that I left there educated and able to share with others about the benefits of natural products and overall wellness.



We began our trek each day on Salt Lake's Trax system which was wonderful - other than it being about 45 minutes away. It was such a blessing to have available to us but I vote we stay closer so we can sleep in - am I lazy, or what?!?

Isn't he cute?!?

Always enjoying a few laughs with Amy around. ;)

Mother - Daugher - Awww!

We began Convention by getting registered. The logistics were wonderful - yes, I am that NERD that cares about those things. We were able to get through the line to register, then get our Convention Backpack and goodies, followed by our recognition ribbons within about 45 minutes. And that was on Registration day right when they opened. When I went with a couple girls the morning that convention started we got through in about 10 minutes,

This was registration Wednesday morning. It looks more overwhelming that it really was. ;)

Yep, that's my hubby!

Since we registered early we were able to take part in the Campus Tours of doTERRA's new Corporate Headquarters. The building was beautiful!

Me and my favorite girls!

One day . . .

See what I mean? Beautiful!

Welcome to doTERRA!

After the tour we were all finally able to meet up as a team since we were spread out all over the place. While Mom and Angie went to the Product Showcase to get a Sneak Peak of the new products, the rest of us ate some wonderful grub at Chili's and learned about their new-fangled paying machine at the table. My was that entertaining. ;)

The girls woke up the morning of convention to a surprise on their door.

I think we surprised them. Success!

View from the outside. Heehee!

Once the balloon mess was removed.

 We had too much fun preparing and planning for the surprises. The girls' reactions were priceless!

doTERRA launched 11 new products!

Day 1 of Convention began with new product reveals and finished with more announcements from the company. Here are links to more information about these products:

Two New Skin Care Lines HERE

Updated Breathe Blend and Breathe Respiratory Drops HERE

Everything else (TerraGreens, OnGuard Toothpaste Samples, Arborvitae, Cardamom, Correct-X, and Petal Diffuser) HERE

I will take more time in future posts to cover these products and my personal experiences with them.

Day 2 of Convention consisted of Breakout Sessions. Our group split into two different groups and learned a TON about natural wellness as well as tools for building our businesses.

Day 3 ended with more announcements from the company, including that they will be increasing their research efforts 10 times! That is huge, y'all!

They also announced the new Share Program, where new Advocates can get Free Products just for sharing doTERRA's wonderful products with their friends and family. More information can be found HERE.

We also received updates on doTERRA's benevolent hand, the Healing Hands Foundation. The Healing Hands Foundation is one of my favorite parts of the giving heart of doTERRA. Not only is every dollar donated utilized (no overhead costs) for families across the world, but doTERRA and Wellness Advocates (who pay their own way there) give of their talents and time to help families better themselves. This past year, several of doTERRA's Blue Diamond Wellness Advocates went with the owners to Haiti where our Vetiver is grown. The people there had to walk over an hour to get water, an hour to bring it back, and then had to boil it to clean it. They did this every single day. While doTERRA was there a water station was installed, allowing the people in that community to receive clean water with the turn of a handle. More on that HERE.

For those of you that are currently Wellness Advocates, I greatly encourage you to check that box for a $1 donation to the Healing Hands Foundation. We are making a change in the world, even with just $1 a month.

We were also able to celebrate with our upline Silvers who were able to walk the stage at Convention. FYI there were over 900 Silvers, 500 Golds, and 200 Platinums. There was A LOT to celebrate!

Next year I know we'll have a TON more of our team up there and I CAN'T WAIT to CHEER them on!

We were also able to spend some time with our wonderful upline, as well. Here we are with Team Sescenti:

 And finally here are some more pics that I just had to share. Love, love, love these people and am so blessed by them.

Team Synergy - REPRESENT!

I just LOVE this picture!

Mom, Angie, Rita, and Myself with Jon Chase, one of the Wellness Advocates/Trainers for TERRAfit. Our Team finished 5th overall in the competition with over 60 lbs lost! We are amazing!

All in all, we had a wonderful time. I look forward to the post convention events that will be happening around the US. If you are interested in learning more about what was shared at Convention, you can find more information HERE. We are currently working on an event sometime soon in the San Angelo and Abilene area as well as the Metroplex and possibly other cities within Texas - let us know your interest and we can see if we can make it happen.

Blessings everyone!
